Did you know that you can click the headline to get to an actual article that you can read, which answers this question?

Big difference between the pro and consumer versions though. Which ones are you referring to?

This is the way. Whatever creates the files should add the time span to the beginning of the file name.

Barring that, OP should do it

Very true. I doubt the researcher in question would object to use a virus scanner like you described.

Every consumer antivirus software works like the black box rootkit you described, AFAIK.

Great point, but this part of the quote is still dumb as rocks:

Coding is just kind of like the language that we talk to computers. It's not necessarily the skill in and of itself. The skill in and of itself is like, how do I innovate? How do I go build something that's interesting for my end users to use?

Sure, if you have a big workforce hand-coding UI, you might replace some of them by better tools. But things like that are a fraction of a fraction of the responsibilities developers have

Yeah, the motivation here is “please panic-buy our GPUs/please panic-buy into our cloud GPU infrastructure ”

Totally reasonable to not do a dumb thing if you have no contractual obligation to do the dumb thing.

Sadly they had that obligation, so they have to weigh the cost of doing the dumb thing with the cost of breaching contract.

No, that's not the take-away.

Going without AV as a computer-savvy person is perfectly reasonable, as AV companies can't be trusted, and AVs are notorious for having deep seated privileges and bad security themselves – therefore increasing your attack surface.

The take-away is that if you're deciding for an institution that's contractually obligated to do a thing, you should do it.

Again: not what the person said. They said that if someone proves that you host CSAM, you should take it down.

If you had read the article, you'd know!

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

No, that's not what the person is saying in the slightest. Just read their comment again, it's actually very clear.

No. You can say that about so many laws being made, but telegram simply hosts the most vile shit.
