@rekdt Everyone has a price. Sometimes it is a carrot, sometimes a stick...
Sometimes money is the motivation, sometimes revenge, sometimes to safeguard a loved one.
Security is about people and if you don't accept that, it will bite you.
@UK_Daniel_Card It was one of the things that ended my writing a while back. Too much hate.
In a better position mentally now and starting to pull some things together online, but still wary about actually putting myself really out there.
I've found a single useful invocation of /btw in claude code so far...
/btw /usage -- to get the usage right now rather than after everything is done... but you can see the same info on the usage web page in settings too... :shrug:
After 30+ years of signing windows drivers, we have been locked out of driver signing like many other companies.
In a word, the disrespect and disregard with which MSFT is treating IHVs and ISVs is stunning.
Don’t let anyone tell you it’s because we didn’t read our emails or submit the right verification paperwork. Cuz we did all that back in October.
And this month, we were suddenly and without any warning locked out.
Support said they’d “do their best” to let us know “within 90 days” if we’re good enough to get back on.
In the meantime, many thousands of desktops and instruments are not being updated, cuz we can’t sign drivers.
Awesome job, Microsoft. Thanks.
@UK_Daniel_Card The whole resistance to self-promotion is one of my biggest 'failings' - at least if you ask some other people. I see it more as integrity. I wont offer to do something unless I know I can do it. :/
The other 'failing' is ethics...
