We discovered a drive-by code execution vulnerability on Windows 10 via IE11/Edge Legacy and MS Teams, triggered by an argument injection in the Windows 10/11 default handler for ms-officecmd: URI

Exploitation through other browsers requires the victim to accept an inconspicuous confirmation dialog.

No confirmation needed with Windows 10 and IE11 or Edge Legacy

My setups are pretty cheap as I did not want to put much money in it.

As for DACs, I have a €24 Hifiberry DAC+ and an inexpensive raspberry compatible DAC out of Aliexpress (around €12) on my two different setups (kitchen and living room). Both work well and deliver good enough signal (I am not by anyway an "audiophile") I prefer the no-brand one from AE though as it has an IR receiver I am using to control media playing.

As for amplifiers, any stereo amplifier would work, so I choose a Lepai lp-2020a (€30 on amazon) in the kitchen. I have an old Marantz branded amplifier for the living room.

While Netflix content can be discussed, their client is flat out bad. Try to watch something on a not so great network is painful. Image quality sucks, impossible to skip/replay few seconds without minutes of buffering. Turning on closed caption? Yeah, that's no video for 3 minutes. In another hand, same network and same device, Amazon Prime Video client is great, gets the best image quality out of my network, allows me for a 10 seconds replay without issue, I can switch captions on and off quickly. Also X-ray is a great feature.
