  1. As such, I feel it is paramount that we start trying to spread as much awareness as we can about the dangers of kernel-level DRM, and pressuring publishers/developers to stop using it. We live in an age where zero-day exploits for even the most secure software are always right around the corner, waiting to strike like some danger noodle.
  2. My laptop has an outdated Nvidia GPU that stopped being updated a long time ago, so it's definitely subject to that compatibility hold... But I definitely want that updated Notepad. Maybe I can get a friend who has that update to send me their notepad executable.
  3. For those curious, I'm heavily inspired by a piece of Microsoft software (which was abandoned mid-development) called WinFS, short for Windows FutureStorage. It aimed to add an SQL-based relational database on top of the computer's filesystem, integrated directly into the operating system and being used by various applications to handle the organization of files, records and metadata. One of my goals is to create something similar, actually bring it to fruition, and, as stated before... make sure it's as stable and secure as possible. Preferably while maintaining a small footprint~ If you're curious, it is actually possible to get a copy of a beta build of WinFS from various archival websites, including its SDK. I intend to start from scratch, however. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress later on down the road.
  4. Another issue with the holodeck is the fact that it's essentially non-euclidean (a tiny room can hold numerous people as long as a program is running). Unless the human race figures out how to build non-euclidean structures, the holodeck will never be a thing IMHO.
  5. Because of the existence of Ghidra, it's a lot easier to poke these things for vulnerabilities. Be it somebody just trying to defeat the DRM so that they can play their game in safety, or somebody actually looking to exploit other systems which have that DRM installed.
  6. Yeah, the problem has been fixed. Not quite sure what happened there. My laptop uses an NVIDIA mobile GPU, the NVS-3100M, which last received a driver update many years ago.
  7. Pertaining to relational databases and SQL-based malware, how would you hypothetically detect and defend against it? And how does malware directly targeting databases even work? I'm asking because I intend to develop software for relational databases, and I'd like security to be one of my first priorities. But I don't want to charge in blind if I can avoid it!
  8. Jeeze. I really dodged a bullet there... Before using Malwarebytes, I was using Sophos on one of my systems.
  9. This makes me wish I could get my phone jailbroken to install a proper malware scanner, and then un-jailbreak it somehow. That, or use a corporate sideloading process.
  10. I mean, there's always TOR if you're desperate enough. Just to be safe, I'd try to get that set up as soon as possible.
  11. This sort of thing would likely need to be vetted, or extremely restrictive. That sort of thing takes considerable manpower.
  12. You can probably still access the website on the Wayback Machine, aka the Internet Archive. I've been using the Microsoft Feedback Hub and talking to some people, and they might be making some changes to the HOSTS file so that it's less troublesome to use. Hopefully.
  13. Alright, the setting is disabled. I honestly didn't even notice that it has hardware-accelerated rendering now. I'll let you know if it's been fixed once I restart my computer.
  14. I am not using any modifications to my operating system's font rendering system. Any ideas what might be causing this, and/or how to fix it?
  15. Linux is a very different animal from Windows, so Malwarebytes has to be considerably redesigned in order to run on Linux. They're probably already working on it, but it's a time-consuming and challenging task.
  16. Fascinating stuff! I wonder if this technology could also be used in the field of data recovery, such as in detecting and repairing corrupted files on a damaged drive.
  17. Only forum staff is allowed to download attached files, IIRC. I think the fact you're using a batch file might be part of the issue. IIRC, I was entering the commands directly into Task Scheduler. Let me double-check. --- Also, welcome to the forum. 🦊
  18. I have been asking for an ARM 64 version of Malwarebytes for a while now, but as an x86-64 user I didn't realize that there would be problems as significant as a crash. @teylyn you have my sympathies. It doesn't seem like it should be too difficult for them to recompile Malwarebytes for a different architecture using the existing code. We should keep asking.
  19. It is very true that everyone has their own tastes. Providing the option to switch to an older UI, while it would not be an essential feature, would be welcome for certain folks.
  20. For college, I need to do a PowerPoint presentation about my desired career. I also need to interview two professionals (each from a different company) in my chosen field and write up a resumé. It's no secret that I wish to eventually work at Malwarebytes, so naturally this means that I'll need to ask somebody here if I may conduct an interview. Unfortunately, as I haven't really done this before, I don't really know the first place to start. I don't really know what questions to ask, either, and I still haven't decided what other companies to ask for an interview. Any advice in this matter would be appreciated.
  21. A shame that you can't use software to prevent insect infestations.
