Some YouTuber said the only evidence if this was an hp document of their internal testing. So instead of fixing the security hole they monetize it.
"Some youtuber"? Lol great source you have there. But yes, it's been reported that it was HP's lab that found what they concluded could somehow maybe be used as an attack vector. And other security experts have disagreed with that statement. Who knows.
(and yes I know the irony of me not providing any source at all)
That's not irony, that's hypocrisy.
Their source is better than your source. They at least indicated that it was word-of-mouth and didn't try and present it as anything but that.
Maybe my communication was poor. Or maybe we have different definitions of hypocrisy. I never meant to claim my info to be of higher trustworthiness. Had I meant to do that I would have dug up my source, which would have been easy to do. Without source I'm just a rando commenting and I just wanted to highlight the humor in sourcing specifically "some youtuber", which is the go-to source for crackpot theories (not YouTube, but poorly defined unknown random person on YouTube). My intention was not to be the bringer of the truth. I apologize for any confusion.
When I watch YouTube I'm usually in total brain drain mode and details have to be really interesting to be remembered.
