atesti··on Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension
Wouldn't it be possible to write some kind of local proxy server with MITM for HTTPS that modifies scripts and supplies the missing functionality for ublock origin?
atesti··on Microsoft BitLocker – YellowKey zero-day exploit
Does anybody know what FsTx actually is? Is there any documentation about it?
atesti··on German state replaces Microsoft Exchange and Outlook with open-source email
The problem is that Microsoft wants to kill Outlook and replace it with this electron webmailer.
atesti··on Is Germany on the brink of banning ad blockers?
There is not much need for a company like the one selling adblock plus to springer etc. I don't see any court going after ublock origin and there is no reason that ublock origin would be threatened by this in any way. However, the actions from google with manifest v3 are a real threat, as well as any obligation to use real name accounts to access services like newspapers or youtube.
atesti··on <Blink> and <Marquee> (2020)
If you right click a link and open in new window (or middle click), the frameset was gone and only the piece in the frame was visible. Also you could not bookmark anything. I remember doing a frameset per content frame url automatically and also redirecting to that frameset from inside the page via javascript if the content frame's url was directly opened.
atesti··on Claude's system prompt is over 24k tokens with tools
It's down now. Is there a mirror?
atesti··on The Policy Puppetry Prompt: Novel bypass for major LLMs
Is this blocked? I doesn't load for me. Do you have a mirror?
atesti··on Utah becomes first US state to ban fluoride in its water
Isn't it also added to salt?
atesti··on 400 reasons to not use Microsoft Azure
How does this work? Do they demand you to use Azure for your servers so they get a discount? Or do you have to create instances of your product in e.g. VMs that are put in their Azure account? Did you have to completeley leave every last bit of gcp behind? How is this checked by MS?
atesti··on Cc Hot Wife: Gmail exposes contact names
Related: If you send an e-mail to "Some Name with something interesting" <a.person@company.org> and company.org runs Microsoft Exchange and a.person@company.org is in Active Directory, then Exchange will erase "Some Name with something interesting" <a.person@company.org> and replace it with a pointer to Active Directory and you will never see "Some Name with something interesting".

Like the opposite effect as discussed here. o365 is probably doing the same

atesti··on How is my Browser blocking RWX execution?
While security software and antivirus deserve all the injection blocking they may get, we must also consider how to bypass these mechanism when it's about reenabling adblocking by injecting DLLs in the browser for request blocking etc.
atesti··on Have you ever seen soldering this close? [video]
Any idea where I can buy some from Germany? Reichelt stopped to sell it and I did not have chance to stock up
atesti··on A slightly more fun way to disable Windows Defender (through the WSC API)
Windows also contains 3 drivers loaded during boot, all starting with wd*, especially wdboot.sys. If they are loaded, some paths to defender and registry keys are blocked. I always remove them from the custom ISO I use to install windows using dism.exe. You can also reboot into safe mode and rename them. After that, chipping away at defender using takeownership etc. works.

If you just rename the folders, those drivers are probably still active

atesti··on Intel Processor Instability Causing Oodle Decompression Failures
There are some pages that are not linked, wondered what happened to these products

atesti··on I don't think the cheapest APC Back-UPS units can be monitored except in Windows
What was this odorless substance and where did it come from? (just curious what to watch out for)
atesti··on YouTube Oddities
Are there not more videos that got corrupted? With this amount of data, youtube must have lost several videos statistically.
atesti··on Microsoft seeks Rust developers to rewrite core C# code
Does anybody know more about the "Substrate App Platform group"?

As far as I understood it, actually Microsoft Exchange and ESENT powers a lot of Office 365, e.g. the compliance tools, the search and e.g. teams chats. Next to it is another pillar: Sharepoint, which is also exposed as OneDrive and is based on SQL server.

Is substrate or has it been part of Exchange?

atesti··on Microsoft seeks Rust developers to rewrite core C# code
Does anybody have a link?
atesti··on TextAnalysisTool.NET
Where is the source code? It looks like they only host releases on github, but the license is MIT
atesti··on Salesforce and Slack to pause all hiring in technology and product

atesti··on Gmail and Yahoo’s 2024 inbox protections and what they mean for email programs
Really? I have not seen a <form> html element in an email in decades! Do you mean a list-unsubscribe header? I mean the hyperlink at the end of an email with "unsubscribe". I think it would be good if that unsubscribe link opens a page where one would need to press one more button to prove that it is not automatically involved by url scanners. But this would not be "one click" unsubscribe anymore. So how can this be solved? Why is not everybody constantly auto-unsubscribed who uses office 365 or hotmail?
atesti··on Gmail and Yahoo’s 2024 inbox protections and what they mean for email programs
I have seen Outlook and other systems click on every link in our mailings. Using a sandboxed browser.

How can one click unsubscribe work here? Mail scanners, virus scanners and even Microsoft's own spam filters would probably click these links!

atesti··on Unity Software plans to reduce its workforce by 25%, eliminating ~1,800 jobs

atesti··on The Unhinged Nature of GTA V Source Code [video]
The video only shows some cursing comments from the source code. Did anybody find any real discussions of the internals of gtav after the leak that are interessting? Any new modding projects?
atesti··on Driverless User Space File Systems for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Any more info on this?

I found the announcement, but not how it works internally: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/...

atesti··on The drive stats of Backblaze storage pods
Cool, thanks! Do you put official, expensive Dell drives in there or your own drives?
atesti··on The drive stats of Backblaze storage pods
Does anybody know which Dell product they use? Dell also has JBOD enclosures like Powervault MD2460
atesti··on Reptar
I don't understand "ERMS" and "FSRM" and there seems to be nothing good on google about it.

Are these just CPUID flags that tell you that you can use a rep movsb for maximum performance instead of optimized SSE memcpy implementations? Or is it a special encoding/prefix for rep movsb to make it faster? In case of the later, why would that be necessary? How does one make use of fsrm?

atesti··on The Windows installer of ImageMagick will no longer be signed
How does this work? Does Digicert "host" the HSM in the cloud for you and make it possible to automate things again?

The goal of us developers is of course to fully automatically sign an executable, while the CAB forum seems to want one to always enter a pin code in a hw device anytime you make a build.

Are there any good solutions or hacks to automate it? Does Digicert really make it possible again to just invoke signing of anything from the command line or CI task WITHOUT entering any pin or 2factor stuff? That would be great, and of course ultimately circumvent the CAB forum's demands as anyone who stole the digicert credentials can now sign anything.

atesti··on Every trick Microsoft pulled to make you browse Edge instead of Chrome
how is this even implemented? Is it a custom extension?

Too bad Edge is closed source, with Chromium one can at least find places in the source code where strange things are done for specific domains
