Dark, wet and sticky
I mean...
With all that's been known about supply chain attacks and social engineering, targeting especially dev devices...
Why the fuck did that dev have prod credentials laying around readable from the user account?
This is kinda on them. Company handling billions and billions, can't be arsed to do baseline opsec?
I mean these are basics, even more so considering agentic coding is a thing now. Y'all just letting remote stochastic generators execute code, (and npm packages, vscode extensions) scrape your hard drive? At least put it in a rootless container, mount your repo, and remove all permissions beyond only the files currently being worked on. And ffs, set up a proper firewall.
NOT TERRIBLE
That's why the tech people get REAL pissy when talk about limiting access to European markets come up due to national security concerns.
Meeh, feathers and flocks
VPN enrollment is scanning a qr code nowadays. Or site2site, with a "plug this box into your network' really shouldn't be an obstacle in the year of the lord 2026

Wat?
This seems logical, but how do you place the case with solar? I think the same thing happened circa 2010, but solar is cheap today.
I mean, I'm all for developing and maintaining local innovative industries, but that's not what policy EU governments tend to enact. It most often devolves into some kind of protectionist infighting that revolves around expensively reinventing wheels.
Well, they're offering products that are veeeerrry much in demand at attractive pricees. The whole world is trying to figure out how to afford energy/transport AND food at the same time. The answer is renewables and electrification, and that's just what China has been throwing its weight behind. For years now.
All the while governments in the west are flip-flopping around, following asinine policy, killing the economy instead of incentivizing modernization and innovation. After basically handing any edge they had away (solar, EVs...) and then complaining someone else filled the gaping hole they left. This was a known outcome for many years, and was vocally, publicly stated. As much as I hate, hate, hate the economic crap the normal people e.g. in Europe have/will have to deal with, I have to acknowledge how well China played this with simple means: consistency. Just extremely salty the powerful had to work soooo hard against the facts of reality.
Still not buying it. They need to prove they didn't just steal work of researchers using their service.
For common hardware, yeah it does. With my new lenovo work laptop it was just that - worked fine out of the box. Even dock and multiple displays...
Exotic hardware always needs tinkering, Windows is no different there in my experience.
