  • See an example here:

    Microsoft said both issues could allow attackers to execute code with elevated privileges, although there are currently no indications on how they are being exploited and how widespread these efforts may be. In the case of CVE-2025-24990, the company said it’s planning to remove the driver entirely, rather than issue a patch for a legacy third-party component.

    The security defect has been described as “dangerous” by Alex Vovk, CEO and co-founder of Action1, as it’s rooted within legacy code installed by default on all Windows systems, irrespective of whether the associated hardware is present or in use.

    New attack vectors are found constantly. Having no support can very likely result in a system that can be automatically breached in a few weeks to months.

    As long as you don’t have a public IP on your device and are in a trusted network you should be fine. But if you use a public wifi or somehow expose a port to the internet you’re increasingly vulnerable for each day after the last security update.








  • The standards are still pretty bad, and most producers of movies and tv shows still don’t balance their audio for home TVs, but I do believe Ads have a limited allowed “loudness”.

    If it was real baby mode we would have a regulated minimum and maximum loudness for everything, so we don’t have to change volume constantly.


  • I thought it was quite bad already in the EU but we at least have standards for it. I’m currently in the US and watching TV I have to turn on closed captions for everything because voices are just so damm silent, while Ads and stuff just blast your face off.
