So you think that somehow absolves Microsoft how?
It isn’t MS’s screwup. They didn’t build the sensor.
They didn't build the sensor, but they sourced and implemented it in their product. Part of selling products is getting your parts from reputable locations that are building their parts to your specification. This is absolutely still MS's screwup. And if MS can't build a device to implement their "security" standard properly. Then you cannot assume that ANY manufacturer can do it properly.
Did you actually read the article?
Yes.
So microsoft made a standard... and it doesn't cover the full scope of usage of these devices... Including their own surface pro x and thus can be abused. It's almost like both the sensor choice, and the software is flawed.
It's becoming apparent that you and all the other downvoters are just windows fanbois.
Also
So they recommend to enable this protocol... simply because it's better overall... But the third device was still vulnerable!
But yeah... I'm the one with reading comprehension problems. Totally.
Edit: You also still failed to articulate how this absolves MS from anything. They created the standard. They can't choose sensors that use it properly? So either MS is ignorant, or willfully breaking their own standard. Care to actually address how MS isn't at fault still?
