I'm currently using a Keychron Q3 for work and just use the laptop keyboard for my personal machine. I have a Model F Keyboard Classic Style FSSK that I'm waiting to ship. I've also been flirting with the idea of getting a ZSA Moonlander just to see if that's something I could get used to.

I do absolutely agree that having fewer things run at kernel-mode, the better. We've seen the absolutely mess that buggy kernel-mode drivers and hooks can cause before the CrowdStrike clusterduck or even anti-cheat software. Having an auditable layer between kernel and user-modes is ++good.

Quote from ESET in that blog post: It remains imperative that kernel access remains an option for use by cybersecurity products to allow continued innovation and the ability to detect and block future cyberthreats.

From the blog post, they are looking at providing additional security measures that can work outside of kernel-mode, while making sure that companies that do use kernel-mode aren't going to screw things up as badly.

I think the core story of Microsoft trying to reduce the chance of a CrowdStrike kernel-level foul up causing the same amount of damage if/when it happens again, the Notebookcheck article mis-interpreted that and that article spread like wildfire.

For me, rickrolling is using any element of the song or music video in an unanticipated manner. On a podcast that I listen to, there is "catrolling" where one of the co-hosts builds something up in a conversation and then drops the audio of a cat singing the Game of Thrones theme.
