How are you planning on cuddling over the internet?

 

Sounds like you want your own Channing Taint Yum

Today (Tuesday. So yesterday) Microsoft released a patch for its anti-virus engine, which is underneath Windows Defender and other products.

Given a specially crafted javascript file, someone can remotely own a Windows system.

Given a specially crafted javascript file, someone can remotely own a Windows system.

Windows will let you have full control of a system because its virus scanner will segfault scanning a javascript file.

Parse that.

Unix viruses used to be honorware. You had to voluntarily copy them to infect your system because otherwise, you were stuck waiting for RMS to write a worm to do it for you.

I'm sorry for being so damn finger flatulant but OSX really is very secure by comparison. Even with nasty nix stuff like heartbleed and the like which have sat for years there's still a higher barrier to infection than a script kiddie getting someone to download a javascript file.

Consider how easy it would be for a random requester. Chrome caches. Serve up a .js and own the system of everyone who even previewed your HIT.

BSD security might not == OSX security, but OSX security > Redmond security. #QFT

 

Seems legit

 

Why did the can-crusher quit his job?

Spoiler: Hilarious

It was soda pressing.

 

Cuddling? Unicorns? Sorry, but I'm afraid I must insist.

Here, for the next time you wanna make that joke.

 

but so many ladies love it

 

Actually OSX has plenty of vulns that are as bad or worse than that people just don't give a shit because the market size of OSX is tiny. If apple updated their shit more often it wouldn't be an issue but shit sits out of date for ages.

If you love apple go ahead and keep using their shit but it isn't secure.

 

That's me, but like I hate all things that have to do with horses. They're like the worst animal, and I feel unicorns fall into that category. So I'm out.

 

but we may need a GF BF on the side? ;0

 

I mean, I'm okay with girls who like horses - it's the horses that I don't like. They are big and terrifying and laugh at you with their big black eyes and grindy teeth.

 

Sitting in front of my iMac desktop and PC laptop same type setup I've had for 4 years and can confirm if you aren't a dumbass it really doesnt matter what OS you have.

 

in some places people are starving so if you want to be inconsiderate don't finish your food

when was the last time a mac virus affected as many systems as the very specific exploit from literally yesterday did? you're talking in general.

but yes I'll keep using BSD and Macs and BeOS and Solaris and even my going on thirty year install of slackware that I've manually updated the kernel of every 5 years or so and only use Windows when I need to play a game or watch porn. btw which reminds me no hard feelings ur mom's still got it going on lol

 

and we will grow old together, and you will become the crazy cat lady, and I will become the crazy unicorn man with 75 million hits, and no rejections
