From another article on the same site:
Adobe released 50-plus fixes this month […] Adobe ranked the bugs it fixed in Cold Fusion as both critical and important, and urged users to make them their top priority
Personally, I would’ve thought that if someone out there is using Coldfusion, then fixing their time machine and getting back to 1995 should be their top priority. But hey, good to know they’re still releasing security fixes at least.
Still pretty chaotic.
This doesn’t surprise me.
Back when I was doing some mobile work in C++, I had to use some API calls that would be either secure or work on Samsung, pick one.
Some of the comments are fun:
Dumb shit didn’t even know enough to put info on a thumb drive hidden inside a Rubik’s Cube.
a spokesperson stressed that posts are only shared when users tap the “share” button at the top-right corner of the Meta AI interface after asking the chatbot a question. There’s also a “post” button to send the exchange to Discover.
I haven’t seen this Meta AI. But the thing is these ‘buttons’ are very often not at all obvious. Especially on a touchscreen where there can’t even be a mouse-over tooltip and they can’t fit a text label.
At work, we switched to a new system, and the old system when it ran a build, had a whole list of what it did, in text, linked to each file, so if something failed, you could just click the link to see what happened when it tried to run that particular step.
The new system doesn’t.
It just shows two seemingly empty directory names - no files, no links. So I stayed up until nearly 5am debugging something purely on the “guess and try” method, since there was no output to see why it was failing. I managed to get it fixed by pure perseverance.
But I brought that up at our meeting and one of the younger people said “Oh, you just need to click on that little cloud icon way over on the right, two feet away from the listing that you’re looking at, and then you can download all the details of what was happening there.”
I felt like such an old cranky person. How the fuck are you supposed to know that you need to do that? Or that that’s what that little picture of a cloud does? Why not just link the title at least?
They are really not designing anything for adults these days. Even professional software developers with decades of experience, using professional software, can’t figure out the UIs that the new generation is coming up with. So I can’t really blame old people for falling for that and hitting the wrong thing.
