That’s a tough nut to crack. Even as a video game platform, they don’t write most of the software that they sell today. They would need to find some way to convince developers to write software for something that’s not the platform nearly all users are running.
I’m not sure that Microsoft ever did halt going down that path. My wife recently bought a PC that came locked down by default and required some fiddling to allow running unsigned apps. This was Windows 10, not sure about 11.
I think it could be more that broad compatibility with everything is their main selling point, and by doing so they were undermining their own ecosystem.
However, this is mere speculation on my part.
Valve is a Titan doing incredible work for the open source community and making money while doing so.
Successful open source software business model at work. Way to go.
Loads of complex code exposed to an assumed trusted network is the model of printers. They’re going to be full of security issues.
This stuff should be sandboxed and then never, ever exposed to the Internet.
Entirely personal recommendation, take it or leave it: I’ve seen and attacked enough of this codebase to remove any CUPS service, binary and library from any of my systems and never again use a UNIX system to print. I’m also removing every zeroconf / avahi / bonjour listener. You might consider doing the same.
Great advice. It would appear these developers don’t take security seriously.

There can only be one true corporation and you will pay infinite money for every one of its products.

👏👏 nicely done! Bravo!
For anyone reading this who might have anxiety, I had this problem and it just turned out that I really need better support during the day. Boxers weren’t cutting it.
With that said, yes definitely consider seeing a doctor.
I’ve enjoyed many simulator games, but I’ve come to appreciate that there is a point where a game is too realistic to be fun. It needs to highlight the fun parts of simulating, and downplay the parts that are not so fun.
Using AI we can turn out garbage faster than ever!
Please don’t do this to me. The whole point of a console is convenience, and it’s not like you had to test for multiple platforms. You control the hardware.
It’s very impressive that they got such a modern process up and running in such a relatively short period of time. I understand the Arizona location is relatively new.
I think this is great advice for billionaires in general.
You have to be extremely sick to become one.
Woof. I forgot that used to be a thing. I’m pretty sure I had a phonebook those days.
So far we’re doing a great job at keeping profits out of the equation. Let’s see if it lasts.
It is highly unlikely that you have malware sophisticated enough to do something like compromise installation media (already exceedingly rare) yet not sophisticated enough to bypass secure boot.
The purpose of secure boot is to verify that the boot loader and kernel are approved by the manufacturer (or friends of such). There are certainly ways to inject software into a system that doesn’t reside in those locations. It just makes boot sector viruses and kernel mode rootkits slightly more technically challenging to write when you can’t simply modify those parts of the operating system directly. If malware gets root on your installation it’s game over whether or not you have secure boot enabled. Much of the software on a computer is none of those things protected by secure boot.
Plus, take another wager: most systems today ship with secure boot enabled. If you were a malware author, would you still be writing malware that needs secure boot turned off to run? Of course not! You would focus on the most common system you can to maximize impact. Thus, boot sector viruses are mostly lost to time. Malware authors moved on.
Overall, it’s a pretty inconsequential feature born of good intentions but practically speaking malware still exists in spite of it. It’s unlikely to matter to any malware you would find in the wild today. Secure boot keys get leaked. You can still get malware in your applications. Some malware even brings its own vulnerable drivers to punch into the kernel anyway and laugh in the face of your secure boot mitigation. The only thing secure boot can actually do when it works is to ensure that on the disk the boot loader and kernel look legit. I guess it kind of helps in theory.
