> this is not the fault of Microsoft, Windows, etc.
Partially, it is. The expected lifetime of unprotected Windows machine connected to the Internet is in minutes, and I think there's some fault of Microsoft and Windows in that. And people want a solution to this problem, and when Crowdstrike offers one they take it. The reason "Windows + Crowdstrike" became so omnipresent is because "Windows without Crowdstrike" is too big a risk. It may be not a direct fault but certainly a contribution to the whole situation.
Maybe it you're running Windows XP, but that is absolutely not true for a supported version of Windows. It is absolute FUD to say simply connecting a Windows 10/11 machine to the internet will cause it to be automatically infected.

With .net ported back to 95, one should get his security
ready too.
Love this reference, that MattKC video is so good.

Been enjoying playing a couple games of Seven Wonders Duel so far, but one immediate issue is that there is no way to unsubscribe from the emails telling me it's my turn. I've already got browser notifications turned on, so these emails are filling up my inbox fast.
I've also reported a couple bugs so far, the main one being not being able to build Wonders even though I have adequate resources, but other than that, amazing work! I'm keen to implement a game myself sometime soon.

Yeah, that hard r was totally uncalled for.
WAN show reference?
BoardGameArena uses push notifications to let players know it's their turn.
I prefer running Slack in the browser, and I need to receive message notifications.
Push notifications aren't any less useful to have in browsers than in native apps.
Though I would like to see the prompt locked behind "add to home screen".
Sadly, boardgame arena also pushes advertising for new games and features through the notifications as well. I'm sure it's possible to disable specific categories, but it unfortunately undermines their value even more when otherwise legitimate sites still somewhat abuse push notifications.
The point is that arbitrary user's browsers out in the world won't spoof the Origin header, which is protecting them from CORF attacks.
