Yeah, I'm just annoyed that they keep trying to develop critical infrastructure when they've had structural problems at doing precisely that for multiple decades already...

at this point, I feel it's all on purpose and these articles are just telling their criminal friends they are closing it so use the next ones

they are more concerned about putting Ai in to everything.

We've automated all aspects of the security issue cycle. All the computer power we will build this decade will work as fast as possible to create slop code, find holes in it, slop together some more code, find holes in it... And so on.

At a certain point, patching your software will become impractical. Critical updates will have lifecycles measured in minutes. At this point, you'll just have a permanently running update service that writes new patches on the fly, it will communicate with a distributed network of AIs that are telling your local computer what the security flaws are and how to fix them, multiple times a second. Security will suddenly be about having the network and computational powert to keep up. Attckers will be using the same tools to find the same holes at the same time as the defenders. Being able to write your patches (or exploits) faster that the other system is what hacking will become. Just raw computational power duking it out.

I don't know if any of this will be true, I just kinda made it up, but it sounds good enough.

Unfortunately, most people that have this fall into two, maybe 3 camps

1. work installed it and i use it because they said to
2. work uses proprietary MS mfa so i have to
3. Actually likes Microsoft?

source, I'm in camp 2

I used to be able to log into my work account with TOTP, I used my Bitwarden. Recently somebody changed something, and now Authenticator is enforced. As a bonus, I don't yet have a work device so they are trying to force me to have it on my personal phone... fat chance

They do? My work account is forced to use the app, I can't seem to change it to TOTP
