Why do they keep pushing this obviously extremely intrusive and Bad IdeaTM? There must be some hidden agenda at play here.
No sane person would ever want to add yet another level of intrusion, which will end up in Microsoft's machine learning inbox and definitely will be accessed by any and all Three Letter Agencies (and equivalents) all over the world.
It would also be a good idea to avoid pondering why a setting that only Administrators can access in the Windows Settings app can be changed via the legacy Control Panel.
Because the levels upon levels of crud and access tables to control privileged access for unprivileged users plus the if-then-else trees to figure out and mitigate the bugs introduced caused privilege escalations to have bugs letting unprivileged users have access to privileged operations by escalating their privileges. The subject has now been escalated to QA using AI to generate new if-then-else trees, more crud and an additional level of access tables.
Can't see what is wrong here. The AI calculated the statistics and presented the adequate answer.
There are sooo many people on this planet and a lot of them(*) spew junk at the AI. The only valid statistic is to assist in reducing the amount of venom coming from the junkers and that is readily accomplished by giving the correct strong suggestion that the person(s) in question should remove themselves from the gene pool and apply for a Darwin Award(**).
(*) most, if not all
(**) Only awarded if they have no offspring. Otherwise, the AI will suggest complete forward and backward family-line removal from the gene pool and forward a proper request for a collective Darwin Award.
1) update something against your will, 2) send bill for updated version.
Or: a) update something against your will, b) require hired guns to clean up the mess.
Or: I) update something against your will, II) send lawyers to blame someone else.
Many wonderful ways to make boatloads of money.
You missed the point. Supervising programmers is not about managing them.
A supervising programmer is looking at the code. Just like programmers must accept that other programmers supervise them. It is also called peer review, except that there is an implicit educational purpose to the setup. A novice is not a real "peer", but will become one in due time when you all accept the learning curve.
The programming language you use is the right one for the task at hand. That can be any language, be it, to name a few, C, C++, Rust, Java, Python, C# or Assembly. You need to know which tool to use for the project or task. Finding that out is part of being a programmer.
You need a real programmer, regardless of the language used. You need to learn any language and need to create to become experienced. All programmers need supervision and all programmers need to supervise. That is how you learn and improve to the expertise level of the language at hand.
"An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to the web-based management interface of an affected system,"
And that is why you never ever(*) have any management interfaces accessible on the production network. You create a management network for this purpose that is not accessible from the production network. You still need to patch all the software holes, but it makes network subversion and penetration more difficult.
(*)and that means never ever while the universe exists.
We should be able to enjoy 24 hours of daylight savings.
Lets all board a vessel and start moving at minus synchronous orbit speed (about 1071 km/h westwards(*)). Then we will always be facing the rays of our beloved ball of fusion fire in the sky.
(*) That is the speed for 50 deg north going west. At the equator you'd have to go faster to somewhere about 1665 km/h.
The second war starts about 40 years after the first. The earthly skinjobs made/helped make the other skinjobs. So,... lets say about 25 years in the making if we assume the new skinjobs don't age as the old skinjobs did. With this timeline,... we should die somewhere in the next 20 to 30 years or so.
BTW, Igor got killed in the process of development. It was a predecessor of Daniel, which entire line was exterminated. They did not have enough time to make a Daisy, Charlotte and Wendy line and it was decided that the current lines should be able to perform their spy-jobs well enough. You know, they had a plan.
They act and talk like their own AI with all the standard denials and usual blabla. It surely looks like there are no humans at that company to handle public relations.
Suggestion: next time you have contact, please try to jailbreak them. It might help asking with strong emotional words and sentiments.
