TP-Link Archer High Vulnerability

[L&LD]

I respectfully disagree - Apple and Google have methods to address things when they happen - not everything is severity 10 up front.

The challenge with Google and Android is ASOP - there are devices that don't implement GMS or PlayStore, so they cannot be hot-patched on top of the OS - most of those devices are either TV's or Cheap over the top set-top boxes...

ChromeOS is likely the most common OS that is fairly secure these days...

ChromeOS is a hack of an OS, but that's another story.

And while you can respectfully disagree, it doesn't change the facts.

Unpatchable security flaw in Apple Silicon Macs breaks encryption - 9to5Mac

There is nothing inherently 'better' about having a full vertical stack within a single manufacturer. Because the manufacturers aren't ethically motivated. They only react when 'caught'. That is the issue.

Blinders off is the best way to navigate in today's uncharted tech waters.

These are all old must have been fixed except for the last one , then again last one does not sound like something most people have to worry about .
So it is pick your flavour of poison and live with it , lock down your system as best you can . Every OS and browser has it's flaws . Most of the problems are behind the keyboard that is the conclusion I arrived at after 20 years of fixing cleaning computers , and it is getting worse by the day

 

[L&LD]

Yes, that they were current wasn't the point.

The point is that only when others bring the vulnerabilities to light, do they get fixed/patched.

There is no manufacturer that does so, on their own accord. Sadly.

I think you are wrong there. Cisco constantly tests and patches bugs they find that have not been in the wild yet.

 

[L&LD]

Any examples you can provide?

One can only test on what is known...

That's why zero-day exploits happen.

Key thing is to respond in a reasonable amount of time

I'm more worrying about the shortage of racing tires right now.
