At least one of them only needs a remote session and access to any account on the device.

Of course there are! The only truly secure computer system is one that's not powered up, after all.

You don't understand! Someone doing that on some other social media platform is bad and insane! Him doing that on this social media platform is good and based! Jesus Christ, it's a simple concept!

You're saying they're going "the wrong way", but from the standpoint of a publicly traded company it's literally the best way possible.

You promise to give $1million to Nvidia, Nvidia promises to give $1million to you - wam, bam, suddenly your stock market valuation's up, people are throwing their money at you, and you didn't even have to call your bank to make any transfers.

They're literally printing money out of thin air.

That it will all crash and burn at some point? Who cares? If everyone goes down, you can blame the market. If you're not in on the bandwagon while everyone else is printing money, you get sacked by the board of directors.

That's all there is to it.

Microsoft develops Windows with the intention of making it vulnerable, so it is effectively commercial malware

The intention is currently suggested by a disgruntled ex-employee. I'd say that warrants caution before making such broad statements.

Dude, enjoy your Windows then.

Well, I'm a Linux user so I can't.

This is not Twitter (or X or whatever) where you can go do your master’s bidding of creating noise to try and control the normies

Of course you can! Just like on every other social media! What are you even talking about? :D

Here most of us know how to do research and have the ability to differentiate bots (human or otherwise) from actual thinking individuals with a modicum of common sense and more than 2 functioning brain cells.

You'd think that, but if you actually know a bit about tech, this community is hilariously ignorant most of the time - on all the matters you mentioned. :D

Look at your down-votes and take a hint. That bullshit has no effect here.

The hint is that this community is extremely aggressive towards language that goes against the hive-mind. The bullshit has no effect because people can't differentiate what's bullshit and what isn't, so they just automatically assume any statement that isn't violently anti-MS is bullshit spewed by bots at their master's bidding.

Take your comment as example...

Right, because it's impossible to get a person's credentials in this day and age.

They will be patched. There is also no indication that they 'be been known and exploited till recently.

Two of the three are being used in the wild, with Copy Fail being retroactively found at least 9 days before the disclosure.

What are the indications that the BitLocker vulnerability is already being utilised?

This was allegedly deliberately non patched to be exploited.

Alleged by a guy who was fired from Microsoft. I'd take that with a pinch of salt.

Getting a system without bugs and security issues is impossible, you can at least avoid intentional compromise.

I agree! But other than one angry dude, not much else is pointing towards this being intentional - so far! Let's see how things go.

That being said, open source repos are being attacked constantly with attempts at intentional malicious code injection - I'm sure you've heard of XZ Utils? How many others went through and are being exploited without anyone noticing?

Those are potential vulnerabilities that can be patched

"Potential"? They are actively being exploited. And they don't require physical access to the device.

Copy Fail, Dirty Frag and Fragnesia exist. What are you going to switch to now?

Also - ffs, they can't even disable sleep in system settings?????

What is the logic behind giving a company money for the tariffs?

Well, the logic is the fact that the tariffs were illegal.

The honourable thing to do would be to pay that money back to the customers, but that would make the shareholders sad and grumpy, so it's never going to happen.
