Here’s a reply from an ―allegedly― ex-employee at Msft you can find in the comment section of the article:

There is a lot of confusion on this thread between NVMe Storage Controller drivers and Disk drivers, e.g. “we have always been able to replace NVMe drivers”. Previous driver releases, e.g. by Samsung, are for the NVMe Storage Controller, which you don’t see in Device Manager unless you view by connection. The inbox driver is “Standard NVM Express Controller” or stornvme.sys. Samsung’s driver was secnvme.sys.

The title of this TPU story is misleading; there is no new NVMe (controller) driver, there is a new disk layer driver nvmedisk.sys that is just an optimization of disk.sys that provides marginally better performance for NVMe drives (some SCSI command translations removed; multiple queues supported; presumably latency optimization and cache flush behavior). This is not really an “NVMe driver” because it’s not the controller driver. The disk layer driver is not super specific to a particular storage medium; this is just optimization to pair better with stornvme. It’s possible that you could force install nvmedisk.sys on HDD and it may even work, albeit unreliably and/or slowly.

Source: I worked at MS for decades. You know that checkbox in Device Manager for drives that says “Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device”? That was me.

The data they have compiled from years of people using Win 10 and Msoft Edge.

That’s exactly what’s going on here. Narrative / concepts are in stake here. By controlling the narrative you can influence or alter the perception of people about things.

What website is being showed in the screenshots?

Same here. When they bought SW, 1313 was cancelled. I remember i had a friend who had faith in disney owning SW… he isn’t my friend anymore (because other things) but he won’t stop bashing disney for what they did to the IP, lol.

I agree with you.

TLDR: some government/military official added a reporter to a Signal group were some high profile people were discussing and sharing war plans. The app’s encryption is perfectly fine. It’s just clickbait.

I undertands Musk’s, but why do we hate taylor swift now?

My brother did what!?!?

Vivaldi, no adblocker, it seems it has one integrated… maybe?

XDA is asking for disabling my adblocker? WTF? I guess i won’t be reading the article.

Google says that SafetyCore “provides on-device infrastructure for securely and privately performing classification to help users detect unwanted content. Users control SafetyCore, and SafetyCore only classifies specific content when an app requests it through an optionally enabled feature.”

GrapheneOS — an Android security developer — provides some comfort, that SafetyCore “doesn’t provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine learning models usable by applications to classify content as being spam, scams, malware, etc. This allows apps to check content locally without sharing it with a service and mark it with warnings for users.”

But GrapheneOS also points out that “it’s unfortunate that it’s not open source and released as part of the Android Open Source Project and the models also aren’t open let alone open source… We’d have no problem with having local neural network features for users, but they’d have to be open source.” Which gets to transparency again.

Underrated comment, right here!!
