Slightly off subject, but Apple commercials are running saying that their Safari browser is “secure” or something like that. What’s up with that?

“Oligo Security’s research team has discovered a “0.0.0.0 Day” vulnerability that >affects Google Chrome/Chromium, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari browsers<, enabling websites to communicate with software running on MacOS and Linux systems (via The Hacker News).”

Isn’t this the fault of the Browser allowing it not the OS? Isn’t it the responsibility of a browser to keep the OS it was versioned for insulated? Pretty hard to pin this one on the OS because the browser devs left a hole open in particular versions.

>> If you’re a Windows PC user, it’s finally time to take a victory lap.

I recommend making it a short lap

From DOS to Windows 11 Microsoft’s software is a hackers paradise.

“we can rest easy in our beds tonight”

I’ve supported just about every Windows OS since 3.x running inside DOS. Given Microsoft’s security history, I wouldn’t recommend resting easy tonight or any night.

I just got an updated download from Apple for my MacBook Air last night so I guess the problem has been corrected.

Right, Windows is so secure, stable and fantastic that it needs something like CrowdStrike to constantly update and patch it…and we all know what just happened there worldwide.

Linux and MacOS (which is Linux based) will never top that CF with any of their problems.

I only use Windows for Windows apps that I still need on a VMWare guest system on Linux and snapshot the image regularly to easily recover if it goes sideways. I share part of the Linux file system to the Windows guest thru VMWare for my data. Only the Windows system files are Windows-based. No way will Windows or its file systems ever be a primary resource.
