The series of six essays from an ex-microsofty who was on core and kernel projects prior about Azure absolutely fucking terrifies me.

And my government keeps tying itself closer and closure to Azure ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Hey bud, that's great, fuck Windows 10 with a rusty stick, and Azure is trash, but we were discussing the capabilities of various nations to identify and defend against various attacks, and nobody has shown the same capability on that front as Microsoft or China.

Defending whom from whom? The threat actors are already on the inside, in the form of Microsoft itself.

I think they're incompetent enough to be the attack vector in common.
