No, not just privilege escalation. This is shellcode that needs to be inserted into a vulnerable driver, as it has to run from kernel space. Being privileged isn’t enough to run this function.
Many complaints are around about how QT isn’t FOSS, licensing is costly, etc. is everyone happy with its performance as a product and framework, though?
We purchased a small business license for QT 5 and I’ve never hated a framework more. It was clunky, resource consuming, surprisingly challenging to build in the way we needed, difficult to work with, etc. No engineer wanted to touch the gui codebase until we moved off of it.
Most of the use cases where I see people sing it’s praises are the python framework rather than the C++ one, but are we really the only people who had this negative of an experience?
100% agreed. I forget sometimes that spectacle isn't part of MacOS proper. The snapping and management are amazing and really add to the UX. https://www.spectacleapp.com/
It's not always the end user's fault, often its the organization's maturity, or lack thereof, as far as tasking.
However, pretending that there isn't a mass of programmers who think they know better than everyone else and couldn't benefit from task structure / documentation (be it SCRUM, Agile, whatever) isn't helpful at all.
We just transitioned to Bitbucket, and I've been using confluence and jira all week (including today) with no issues. There may have been outages and latency, but it's not been "down" for 4 days.
