🎮 Ah, the riveting saga of #kernel anti-cheats—a 60-minute read on how tech wizards turned Windows machines into fortresses of #gaming #integrity. Because nothing screams "exciting" like diving into the murky abyss of #operating #systems and privilege levels. Bravo! 🧙‍♂️🔍

How Kernel Anti-Cheats Work: A Deep Dive into Modern Game Protection

Modern kernel anti-cheat systems are, without exaggeration, among the most sophisticated pieces of software running on consumer Windows machines. They operate at the highest privilege level available to software, they intercept kernel callbacks that were designed for legitimate security products, they scan memory structures that most programmers never touch in their entire careers, and they do all of this transparently while a game is running. If you have ever wondered how BattlEye actually catches a cheat, or why Vanguard insists on loading before Windows boots, or what it means for a PCIe DMA device to bypass every single one of these protections, this post is for you.

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of age verification at account setup

It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

As AI enters the #operating room, reports arise of botched #surgeries and misidentified body parts

#Medical device makers have been rushing to add #AI to their products.

While proponents say the new technology will revolutionize #medicine, regulators are receiving a rising number of claims of #patient #injuries.

@edbott I'd recommend that home edition users consider switching to Linux.

The learning curve ain't what it used to be. It's alot more user friendly than many realize.

No matter what your OS needs are, there's usually a distro that will meet them and get out of your way.

Run the software. Don't let the software run you.

Recently I learned about an interesting #operating #system suitable for people working under heavy pressure from #malicious #attacks. It's called #CubesOS and it's based on the concept of using semi-isolated #virtual #machines for almost everything. Even if one machine is infected and compromised the damage will be sandboxed and mitigated. Most fitting for #security #research, #human #rights work and #journalism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubes_OS
