… all it can take is going to a website from a windows device… maybe less, it was literally discovered a couple days ago…

It’s not like having IPv6 enabled on a windows machine automatically makes it instantly exploitable by anyone out there.

Yes it actually kinda does, that’s why this exploit is considered the highest priority and critical.

But sure… downplay it, because we only think servers are at risk…

Yeesh buddy.

Great, so let’s suppress a warning because YOU are fine…

Maybe other people don’t realize the issue, but of course you aren’t thinking about anyone but yourself now aren’t you?

And now your entire system/network is vulnerable because of it. Great idea!

Any device on the network would make it vulnerable, what does a server have to do with anything?

Wouldn’t any windows device in your network be vulnerable? And from there everything else.

IPv6 was just found to have a critical exploit, and the solution is to disable it.

Not used on critical systems, it affected computers, a client had to inform them even.

Little late, new information came out and they broke other OSs months ago… but no one noticed…

Datum point.

Eh, I know a bunch of people who left Lemmy just because they did this, I’m not gonna do something else, but they should also realize people don’t want a Reddit clone and this stuff will make people leave.

People left Reddit to get away from this stuff, try being unique instead of emulating what you left. Like the tired old trope of your very “unique comment” as well…….

Why doesn’t Lemmy find something else than copying what Reddit did?

I’m just not gonna even address the first parts, that’s only true on some cases as I have pointed out multiple times now, not every device is the same….

Batteries don’t have an ‘input’ and ‘output’, they just have a single connection.

…….

All batteries have two connections…. A positive and a negative. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about here.

So every phone is AC powered because it can be plugged into a wall….? You understand how stupid that argument is yeah?

The current does not go through the battery on its way.

Just because it changes from current to chemistry and back doesn’t change age the fact that the laptop is powered from the battery while it’s being charged…. The charger is supplying no power to the laptop, just through the battery. So if current can’t go through the battery… how could it be receiving power…?

Yes it can, you’ve clearly never used an underpowered charger where the battery both charges and drains at the same time. Happens with any modern phone and can happen you laptops and plenty of other electronics.

Why you’re claiming this can’t happen is beyond me.

That’s… not true.

It will still run through the converters and boards inside the laptop since it runs on DC and the power from the outlet is AC. Depending on how it’s setup, the current very well could go through the battery instead of bypassing it before it reaches the laptop from the converters.

Basically you don’t know unless you try. Some laptops work when you remove the battery and some don’t. Just like phones or any other electronic.

Went through the system in Canada, it’s great that they have also started harmonizing stuff across provinces too. Before if you were a third year in BC, you would have to start as a first year in AB as the schooling was too different.

Unfortunately there is some trades that you still need to know someone to get in, since you need a company to sponsor your apprenticeship before being accepted by the government program.

That’s the plumbers, electrical, boilers, elevator, carpentry, lathing, scaffolding, HVAC, refrigeration trades/unions at least.

Schooling is done and provided by the union and not secondary institutes, so they control everyone who goes through their system. In the vast majority of them, you won’t even get in unless you know someone.

You must not actually know anyone in a trade, or you know just the few people in trades that aren’t heavily unionized that aren’t like this.

It’s an extremely well known and common issue.

That’s US trades in a nutshell due to unions.
