fazfq··on Ring0VBA – Getting Ring0 Using a Word Document
But that already exists. There are thousands of signed drivers; many around are bound to be exploitable. But it's not Windows' fault that you installed one.

The truth of the matter is that if you are local admin you can already ruin the system in many ways. Once you are admin the game is already over.

You have to be a local administrator to load a driver.
fazfq··on Ask HN: What software do you miss that no longer runs on modern hardware?
...but pidgin still works, in fact it's regularly released

You could argue that it no longer does what it did, but it works

This is a company so shitty that their website does not even have a privacy policy: https://www.malwarefox.com/privacy-policy/

The exploit suddenly looks much less impressive if it relies on the user having installed something like that.

If the purpose of the law is to make psychoactive substances illegal, what would be ridiculous it would be to ban them one by one as they pop up (and they will never stop popping up)

You don't have to excuse yourself by saying that you are fully vaccinated. Your opinion is equally as valid regardless of your vaccination status. Those who chose not to take the vaccine are also human beings.

>For example, YouTube puts some functions only in the right-click menu

If you double-right-click (huh) you can see the "normal" menu. If you use Firefox you can shift-right-click also.

>I haven't had to pay for SMS in the last decade. Even roaming is free in the EU too.

Whether you pay for SMS or not depends on your telco. Regarding roaming, let's say that you pay the same you'd pay if you were in your country if you leave the country, but you still pay different rates if you try to call or text someone from another country (whether you are roaming or not)

>Do we live in divergent Europe timelines or something?

Despite what the propaganda may have lead you to think, life in Europe is very different depending on your country.

Every SMS I send nationally costs me 0.30€ my brother. I am not even going to bother looking what it costs me to text outside the country (even if inside the EU) or to send an MMS.

fazfq··on Ask HN: Why are there not more Apple-quality products?
I don't even have to try it, I was looking at Samsung phones recently and they were laggy and came with so much bloatware - they even had a built-in propaganda app regarding the UN Global Goals, it left me flabbergasted.

People who decide to write big web applications that run on the cloud using Python instead of basically any language should be harshly censured.
fazfq··on The Gervais Principle, or the Office According to “The Office” (2009)
I always feel like I'm the only one who enjoyed the series. I don't know what's so terribly bad about it. It's not The Simpsons, and it's not _that_ related to the strip, but it's amusing in many ways.
