I would think that Teslas get stolen far less often because they are difficult to sell and difficult to turn into parts and, on top of that, you have to do a lot of work to disable all the electronics in there. Hence not an effect that would transfer to any external cameras.

Also, who would want a bad-quality space-NAZI car anyways?

The main problem is that the police does not really care about cars getting stolen.

I think you have a problem counting there. No, most hardware is NOT involved in booting.

For special-purpose, there are better things. For example, for teaching the Big Blue Button is quite a bit superior IMO. I have used it last semester with no issues at all. But it is not really suitable for more general use. For example, it requires you to schedule meetings and upload your slides before. That is fine for teaching, but does not work so well in many other situations. It also uses LibreOffice to convert PP slides to PDF, but since my teaching slides are LibreOffice anyways, I had zero problems.

That said, a Teams replacement does not have to be better. It just has to be about equal or not too much worse and it has to not be made by an US company or a company beholden to any other authoritarian regime.

People do not stop stealing cars because of cameras. But I guess Flock is desperate for some good press, so we get propaganda lies now.

Forget it. This person threw together what they mistake for a good spec of a browser and then asked Claude to build it. They do not have the skills to do any real work, LLM support or not. This whole thing is just yet another meaningless stunt that impresses the clueless.

That depends. For example, a Linux kernel basically clears everything out and does everything itself. Hence the drivers for most hardware can be taken from that. Also note that for booting you only need a small part of the "full range of modern hardware" to work and there are quite a few standardized interfaces for storage.

The only thing impressive here is the sheer undiluted stupidity of the approach and of the ones cheering for it. Like you.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Like so many incompetents that cheer for LLMs.

And if the browser is NOT secure, you have several times the problems. Your point?

You seem to have really low standards.

You are being too kind. Any issue that benefits MS being reported anonymously is very likely a direct lie and needs strong evidence to the contrary to even begin to be credible. MS has a long history of dishonest and illegal business practices.

Come to think of, the whole article sounds very much like slop.

Of course the claim that secure or not is a question of using a JIT compiler is completely bogus and just demonstrates that the one making it has absolutely no clue about software security.

No chance. And since you start with slop, completely forget about it. Nice hobbyist demo project, but that is it.

So this thing is slop? Even more reasons not to use it. It means everything not specified in detail is suspect, missing, broken or insecure and maintenance will be an absolute nightmare.
