I’ve had Windows kill itself by doing a BIOS update and deleting the bitlocker keys in the process, on a computer where bitlocker was automatically enabled by the OS without the user knowing, and of course, without any backups of the keys except on a Microsoft account that was only logged in on that computer (the user didn’t know the password for the account either).

I know there’s user error in there, but for an OS that caters to people who barely know how to use a computer, it seems like a terrible choice to do all that.

I don’t usually pirate content in spanish, but whenever someone asks me for it, I always go to the latest blocked domain list from the govt to find piracy sites. It’s such a nice and convenient list with all the latest sites.

I don’t even need to use a VPN, since most of the blocks are just DNS. I have my own DNS resolver using unbound at home, so none of those blocks affect me.

The theory is that the site just hosts a small JS snippet that locally decodes and shows you your logs.

But yeah, now that you mention it, it would be trivial for the site to get and store the logs, and you wouldn’t even notice.

The QR code contains the panic stack trace text, directly encoded into a URL and a parameter. When you scan it, it goes to the website, which takes the parameter, decodes it and displays it as plain text.

Personally, I think it’s a terrible idea compared to just showing the logs, because now you need internet and a phone with a camera to read a kernel panic log.

Edit: yes, it was Systemd who implemented it.

The funniest thing about this is that Apple used the same excuse to defend parts locking. And every other company that limited the user’s right to repair and upgrade their purchased products.

It’s all BS. A company cares only about money, and they couldn’t care less about your product performing slightly less than optimally, if it ever does. Apple did it for profit, car manufacturers did it for profit, John Deere did it for profit and Raspberry Pi did it for profit.
