Pretty sure bitlocker is enabled by default since Windows 11 rolled, to my understanding it's part of the reason they now require Microsoft accounts for device on boarding.

My issue is with the publisher and this article, linking me outside of it does nothing as my statement was not directed towards the content.

What a nothing burger. Either provide evidence, advisory, or speculation. This article just stokes fear for clicks with no actual substance.

Agreed.

I somewhat share this sentiment but I was also just answering the question. There are actual reasons one would want to host documentation/etc on a already realized provider vs infrastructure they'd have to configure and potentially pay for themselves.

Takes time and resources to setup a web page. Takes 5 seconds to spin up a discord server or a telegram group and they handle all access control. Not my preference, but for ease of deployment a lot of people prefer to launch there.

Looks like this will be great for those operating gigabit or simple home networks, but lacking for anyone doing in depth home hosting/networking. A little disappointing as I'd love to go with open source hardware if it were up to snuff for at least a 2.5gbe LAN.

I don't personally disagree, but I don't know what sort of business challenges they face. Also I should add that 132 Million number isn't traffic or transactions, that's verified customers that have made at least 1 purchase. That all being said there is definitely a redesign/restructure/rebase needed, but the ship takes crew to keep it sailing even if it needs remodeled/repaired/etc.

Sites at that scale that cannot afford errors, downtime, or system breaches operate massive IT teams just to keep the systems running. That's before even touching Logistics,Advertising, customer service, seller outreach, brand management, human resources, etc, etc. Ebay in 2023 had 132 Million customers. That's 12,000 customers per employee per year, or 32 customers per employee per day assuming they worked the full 365 solid. A rather lean storefront actually, probably propped up significantly by the labor of their third-party sellers.

Lol if that was the end of it instead of them writing up an entire article on how the said feature is 'cruel' and 'too far', it'd be a different story. Maybe read the article?...

How very entitled to take someone else's creation and decide which parts of it are "too far". This form of journalistic media can be done well when the emotional tones include reflection and philosophy but all that's here is ranting and a complete lack of introspection. Author should probably find a day job but who am I to say.

If it's not receiving security patches then it's not a good candidate to use for 2factor. Risks are low but anything without security patches becomes a minor speed bump to bypass as published exploits will likely exist that are trivial to implement.
