the biggest insider update yet: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/01/09/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-15002-pc/ while everyone's trying to remove flash entirely from their browser: quote:Flash Click-to-Run: Microsoft Edge will now block untrusted Flash content by default until the user explicitly chooses to play it. This means better security, stability, and performance for you, while preserving the option to run Flash when you choose. You can learn more about this change on the Microsoft Edge Dev Blog: Extending User Control of Adobe Flash with Click-to-Run. We will be evolving this experience in upcoming flights to make the option to run Flash content more contextually obvious. at least they're improving accessiblity: quote:Braille support in Windows: Not too long ago, we mentioned Braille support was coming to Windows. That work is starting to appear in builds, and you will find a new button that offers the ability to download support for braille via Settings > Ease of Access > Narrator. While this button is present, the feature doesn’t work yet so hold off on giving it a try for now. We’ll let you know in a future post when braille can be used. built-in f.lux for all your poo poo taste needs: quote:Lower Blue Light: Windows can now automatically lower the amount of blue light emitted from your PC at night. Settings to turn this functionality on or off and use a local sunset and sunrise or custom schedule are in Settings -> System -> Display. If you need to quickly override the schedule or always want manual control, you can enable this quick action in Settings->Notifications & actions. Use this capability for a couple nights and send us feedback through the Feedback Hub, we’d love to know what you think! significant decrease in BSODs: quote:BSOD is now GSOD an actual good part though? quote:Improving your update experience selected known issues: quote:

driver updates would be good if they weren't always out of date for litterrally no reason. everyone has to submit them for WHQL certification so why the gently caress doesn't Microsoft put them up on windows update after being certified?

I wonder how often there are security problems in things like graphics drivers. I would think the applications they come w/ (like GeForce experience) are probably better targets.

anthonypants posted:can't you do this on a ps4 now yeah plenty of devices will do it but they have pretty stringent drm on it, so pc playback in 4k requires some very specific hardware and software; you can only do it on Edge (and by extension Windows 10), and only with a gen7 Intel Core CPU.

I would think the applications they come w/ (like GeForce experience) are probably better targets. if you need a career change by instantly making yourself a name in security circles you should look into security holes in drivers which can be exploited through webgl well, my guess at least, i have been pretty surprised with how quiet it has been on that front since the first days of it, considering how messy graphics drivers have always appeared

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:all the time although they have started actively patching vulnerabilities lately. general rule is if you're interacting with the gpu driver unrestricted you have code execution anyway so focus is on privilege escalation. i'd be more worried about their custom remote desktop systems that allow controllers exposing xinput do gpu drivers run w/ high privs on their own or do you mean a privilege escalation in whatever api is between the system and the driver? (or maybe its both,lol)
