  • Nah, you can trick them, it just takes tweaking a ton of settings that most GUIs don’t expose, basically passing through all hardware IDs and blahblah to the VM, giving them real MAC addresses, etc. It’s a huge pain and would limit what options you can roll with in the VM settings since the options have to be compatible with the real hardware underneath, since that’s what the VM’s OS will see, but it’s possible.

    Definitely easier to just have a separate gaming rig.



  • Nah, uneducated agile development is always a mistake. Just because something “works” doesn’t mean it works correctly or efficiently. Many people wrongly believe agile development goes so far as to say you should move on the moment something works. So, when someone implements something in a piss-poor manner, these types simply test it in the most common usage case, see that it “works”, and move on. Executives see that it “works” and assume they have fully competent devs. Cycle of shitty products continues.

    Could also simply be from a dev that doesn’t realize how far CSS has come since the old days where basic styling was about it.

    I mean, they added “bash scripts you find online”, which are only a problem if you don’t look them over or cannot understand them first… Their post is very much cemented in the paranoid camp of security.

    Not that they’re wrong. That’s the big thing about security once you go deep enough: the computer has to work for someone, and being able to execute much at all opens up some avenues of abuse. Like securing a web based service. It has to work for someone, so of course everything is still vulnerable at some point. Usually when private keys or passwords are compromised if they’re doing things remotely correctly, but they’re still technically vulnerable at some point.
