    Cool, a new way to smuggle viruses into corporate environments. Everyone makes sure to disable USB sticks, but you can apparently do similar stuff via HDMI or DP?

      Yeah they claim it’s safe because it’s through their store, but isn’t this a direct path to a supply chain attack? One app using electron has one bad npm dependency and it auto installs and updates on every machine? This seems like a security nightmare scenario.

      Bu hey marketing gets to put their shit in front of everyone’s eyes so who cares.
