Windows Defender Is Being Used to Hack Windows

0 CommentsEntertainment

💥 Explore this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Windows Defender, the built-in antivirus running on every Windows machine, has a zero-day exploit with full source code sitting on GitHub. No patch, no CVE, and confirmed working on fully updated Windows 10 and 11. A researcher who says Microsoft went back on their word just handed every attacker paying attention a privilege escalation that takes any low-privileged account straight to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. On Windows Server the result is different but still serious: a standard user ends up with elevated administrator access. 😏The vulnerability is…

callumlocke/json-formatter: Makes JSON easy to read. · GitHub

0 CommentsEntertainment

🔥 Discover this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: I am no longer developing JSON Formatter as an open source project. I'm moving to a closed-source, commercial model in order to build a more comprehensive API-browsing tool with premium features. I know some users (especially here on GitHub) will always prefer open source tools, so I’m leaving this repo online for others to use/fork, and I’ve published the final open source version as JSON Formatter Classic – you can switch to that if you just want a simple, open source, local-only JSON-formatting extension that…

The Seasons are Wrong

💥 Explore this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: ← Back April 2026 It is with deep regret that I must shatter long held illusions about the structure of our world. The seasons don't make sense. Our calendar is wrong. The things you believe to be summer, winter, spring, and fall are not as they seem. The "first day" of any season, the most broken concept of all, has misled untold billions. Here's the calendar you're familiar with if you're from North America: Summer Solstice (start of summer): June 21 Fall Equinox (start of…

🔥 Explore this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: The past few weeks, it feels like procrastination is everywhere. It might just be the frequency illusion — but it’s on my mind, so I need to write about it. Not too long ago, I finished a video on my channel, a couple of days after filming. Even though my regular schedule would require me to upload videos from an older trip, I disguised the video as a special to work on it close to the trip and just upload it. And I loved it.…

✨ Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: 20 Years on AWS and Never Not My Job I created my first AWS account at 10:31 PM on April 10th, 2006. I had seen the announcement of Amazon S3 and had been thinking vaguely about the problem of secure backups — even though I didn't start Tarsnap until several months later — and the idea of an online storage service appealed to me. The fact that it was a web service made it even more appealing; I had been building web services since 1998,…

💥 Discover this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: ← Back April 2026 I file the sharp corners off my MacBooks.

Indeed, the industrial designers at Apple chose an aluminum unibody partly for the fact that it can handle such a geometry.…

Italo Calvino: A Traveller in a World of Uncertainty

0 CommentsEntertainment

💥 Explore this must-read post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: ‘The thing I’d like most in the world’, says the reader in Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller (1979), ‘is to make clocks run backwards.’ And understandably so. Written after a period of creative uncertainty, If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller is a profoundly – even wilfully – disorienting work. It starts in a familiar enough way, with you, the reader, settling down to read Calvino’s latest novel. But you soon realise something’s wrong. The printers have not only messed up…
