Example: Eating at Waffle House near Malcolm X Boulevard leads to humorous experiences.
Reflection on historical events like Hiroshima and Nagasaki contributing to modern culture (e.g., anime).
Windows Security Incident Overview
CrowdStrike Incident: A major issue with Windows kernel leads to billions in damages.
Concerns about third-party companies affecting critical systems with their code.
A recent article titled "Windows Resiliency Best Practices and the Path Forward" sparked discussions on the topic.
Windows Resiliency and Innovations
VBS Enclave: Important innovation mentioned for enhancing system security.
VBS stands for Virtualization-Based Security, not to be confused with Visual Basic Scripts (deprecated).
Provides isolated environments for processes, protecting the kernel from potential threats (malware).
Implications for Gamers and OS Users
Positive implications for Windows users and gamers on Linux.
Current challenges for Linux gaming involve requiring anti-cheat programs that demand kernel access.
Native anti-cheat (e.g., Easy Anti-Cheat) previously abandoned users on Linux.
User Space vs Kernel Space:
User space anti-cheat is less effective compared to kernel-level anti-cheat due to Linux's open-source nature.
Dedicated cheaters can still modify one’s gameplay effectively.
Historical Context and Ongoing Changes
Microsoft previously encountered pushback for changes similar to current ones during Windows Vista with PatchGuard.
Major antivirus companies resisted changes due to their need for kernel access.
Current hopes are that Microsoft will restrict third-party kernel access to ensure system integrity.
Potential benefits:
Improved system performance and user experience on Windows and seamless gaming opportunities on Linux.
A win-win situation for gamers who also support infrastructure affected by security issues.
