folks, we've made it
tech journos are now scraping cohost for news article fodder
cohost is a real webbed site today
honestly super interested to find out if this ever actually gets escalated to the Windows security team and gets a formal CVE or something
because it seems like a pretty clear network DOS vuln if these anecdotes are any indication (and since this was posted i've seen a few people on other services say "OH! I have a hisense TV and this post explains everything!" so.... seems to be independent validation at least!)
this is the post for anyone interested
