A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sure of course of course but umm have you seen software?
There are still windows xp computers on the internet.
It's not insurmountable, and of course I have no idea if/how this will roll out.
Just it seems to mess with a rather deep assumption we have about how computers operate when we develop software and threat models.
The better example is that there are still programs compiled in Win 95 running here and there if I'm correct.
Sure, but anyone who's still running WindowsXP on their laptop wants to suffer.
As always, the security-minded will be able to secure their devices and everyone else will not care until it bites them. ULTRARAM isn't revolutionary in that regard.
