I believe it, most especially in your specific case.

Maybe it’s about time for another essay.

I dunno, I did going in but what I got from it was his method of explaining it to people that truly don’t understand.

I’ve always liked this man. Today I love him.

This is not enshittification. This is a calculated attack. It’s class warfare.

Yes and I have read them but the problem is that if you get people to start running random powershell from sources they don’t recognize, and you can’t tell me that the average Joe knows what GitHub is, that’s not a good thing.

It’s already a threat vector that’s being exploited in the wild.

Add to that that even though it’s verifiable, this also makes this guy a target for supply chain attack.

This is bad all around.

At the very least he could have signed the scripts which he did not.

Let’s say somebody tries to run this at work and they actually succeed and they manage to get it to run so that means they have bypassed the restriction that keeps them from running unsigned scripts and so right there they’ve made their machine more vulnerable so there’s that too.

Look, I recognize what the guy’s trying to do and it’s admirable but he should use a signed installer or put something in the Windows store (ok maybe MS wouldn’t like that) or at least use some sort of modern cryptographic protections. This guy (The article author really, I don’t blame the actual scriptwriter so much) is having people paste code and run it.

Anyone that’s pasting shit like

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm “https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/main/main.ps1”)))

Into elevated powershell windows should be summarily fired and prosecuted.

On Windows, all you have to do is open PowerShell as administrator and copy-paste this command:

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm “https://raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/just-the-browser/main/main.ps1”)))

…said the Nigerian prince. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

I’ve read enough.

No.

Edit: Oh my god, it gets even better, the script reaches out and downloads shit from the Internet too. What the everloving fuck!

I went with qnap. Synology, I think, can’t be trusted to stick with that policy reversal.

Thanks

Converter box? I literally checked the date on the article, I figured OP was confused.

Why would I pay money for something I don’t use anyway? Lol.

I feel they’ve vastly overestimated the market here.

E: guess I gave up on the article too soon. DRM? What clowns. I’ll stick to self hosting, thanks very much.

Half joking. The design worked by electrolyzinh water and intaking the resultant gasses into the air intake, also it was with a dune buggy, also water vapor alone improves ICE efficiency, so it’s not that unreasonable that he’d get 100mpg.

Also, the petrochemical industry would totally murder over something like that.

It did not literally run on water. That was just marketing.

I was hoping it would be more obvious what I was getting at, but apparently the flu is hitting me harder than I thought.

I’m suggesting that the existing Automobile industry will not welcome their efforts.

I hope they succeed.

I’m not yum-yucking, just stating what I see, it looks like an impact would be quite fatal.

It is very cool. I hope they succeed. I understand their odds though.

I choose to believe he was murdered by big oil because it’s more convincing than that it is not actually a free energy device.

I know the whole story and I have picked my side. 😁

Look at the frame under the hood. 100% not safe for impact.

This reminds me of a guy that used a portion of the energy generated by his car’s alternator to generate hydrogen and oxygen and feed it into the air intake, achieving over 100mpg efficiency in a stock vehicle.

He died mysteriously shortly after that.
