I use a package manager that checks the hash of the downloaded installer against what's recorded in the package listing for that version. WinGet has been built in to Windows since one of the 2018…

Vindicated once again for turning off any update checks the moment I install any new piece of software. Even if this sort of (obviously rare) attack is not a concern, it baffles me how few otherwise-i…

> The author claims they can be had for only 20 USD online. That seems too good to be true! In my experience, the cheap eBay MLX cards are DellEMC/HPE/etc OEM cards. However I also encoun…
