Microsoft looking to restrict kernel level access after CrowdStrike incident might help us with our current Anti-Cheat dilemma
CrowdStrike’s Falcon software uses a special driver that allows it to run at a lower level than most apps so it can detect threats across a Windows system. Microsoft tried to restrict third parties from accessing the kernel in Windows Vista in 2006 but was met with pushback from cybersecurity vendors and EU regulators. However, Apple was able to lock down its macOS operating system in 2020 so that developers could no longer get access to the kernel.Now, it looks like Microsoft wants to reopen the conversations around restricting kernel-level access inside Windows.
Microsoft calls for Windows changes and resilience after CrowdStrike outage
Microsoft has started responding with changes it wants to see in the wake of the CrowdStrike botched update. It looks like Windows kernel access is on the agenda.Tom Warren (The Verge)
What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using?
For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).
Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

Because bacteria would need to implement defenses to both attacks simultaneously, the researchers calculated that drug resistance is nearly impossible.
I'm no expert by any means, but I do know that several genetic failsafes have to be overcome simultaneously for you to develop cancer, so I don't see why it would be nearly impossible for bacteria to overcome only two things at once.

Ingen, inte heller Säpo, kan förbjuda eller stoppa demonstrationer. För att det ska vara möjligt krävs nämligen en grundlagsändring vilket kräver två riksdagsbeslut med ett val emellan. Men demonstrationer får begränsas redan idag. Säpo kan dessutom redan idag ha synpunkter på vad som får framföras i en demonstration
