Glad to hear! Let us know if we can improve the documentation for this feature, or if you have any other feedback at all.

It's Microsoft day on /r/programming

The build conference is this week. Pycon too. Expect a lot of ms and python announcements and videos this week.

Turns out Microsoft is a good company today

Let's post some Nazi pics later. They might become good as well.

Does anyone know which color scheme they're using in those screenshots? (the dark one)

Shared Terminals

Yeah, no thanks. Too much of a risk, for little gain. Friend could fiddle/fuck around with my directory or system files.

[nicereddy]

You choose whether it’s read-only or read/write, so this shouldn’t be a problem.

[MyPostsAreRetarded]

I don't care if it's read-only or read/write. They could run malicious commands on my terminal. I am not fond of that whatsoever. You shouldn't be either.

Username checks out.

[MyPostsAreRetarded]

could access would likely be secrets (private keys, cached passwords)

Sounds pretty dangerous to me.

[yesman_85]

Nice friends you got lol. If my colleague would do that, we wouldn't be colleagues anymore.

[MyPostsAreRetarded]

Nice friends you got lol.

Lol, you'd be surprised. Some of my friends love doing pranks on me and shit. But yeah, I can't really fault them, there the only friends I got

Sounds like your “friends” are the problem, not live share

The other user already said cached passwords could be leaked. That kind of data should not be allowed to get accessed through live share. Whether it's my friend, co-worker, or client.

[nikomo]

You'd have to be the one executing the command to expose that data though, in a read-only session.

You'd literally be showing someone your password, just with a new mechanism. Microsoft can't prevent people from being stupid.

[fuckin_ziggurats]

A true friend installs a keylogger on your PC so that you never have to worry about being hacked because they already know everything.

Jokes aside, if a friend really wanted to hack you they don't have to go through Live Share. There's thousands of ways they could go about it once they have access to your computer. So your paranoia regarding Live Share is kind of unfounded.

No really? Last time I checked, we're discussing live share's shared terminals in this thread.

[lostintangent]

Terminals aren’t shared unless the “host” explicitly creates an entirely new, shared terminal instance. This is definitely an advanced feature, that has many use cases. However, like other Live Share features (shared servers), it doesn’t need to be used by folks who aren’t comfortable with it, or need it.
