O&O Shutup10++ and DoNotSpy11

This is why I delay updates.

O&O shutup10++ can be used to disable onedrive completely

If everyone’s storage is encrypted with a different key it will be significantly harder to steal shit.

But it seems this post was about phishing scams.

yet another reason why it should be mandatory for all cloud storage services to be E2EE

Oh no! I can’t use microsoft edge! what am I going to do?!

I might have to just block its internet access with simple wall as soon as I install brave

I agree with that, force microsoft to make windows open source.

Shitty security practices, and a lack of good security software is to blame for that

Only if the closed source black box has your information in the first place

They are if they have shitty security practices and never set up good security software

Maybe, but only if windows users continue to not learn how to use their PCs

Just because you know what the buttons do doesn’t mean you know how to use it.

There isn’t a “best” antivirus.

There’s some that are really good at detection, and a very small number that are good at prevention.

Usually, detection also means prevention, unless we’re talking about norton and mcaffee, which sometimes don’t detect anything until after the malware has already done its damage.

Comodo firewall configured like Cruelsister recommends along with bitdefender free, kaspersky (any edition with the firewall turned off), or MSD with configure defender on MAX is pretty good. Covers everything between comodo FW and one of those other three.

But those three conventional antivirus programs might start sucking at some point down the line. for as long as I’ve been using it, comodo FW has always been a good choice to pick up the slack of whatever realtime scanner you choose.

Or, as my brother-in-law often says when he’s frustrated with technology: “I don’t want to know how it works, I just want it to fucking work.” Lots of people consider computers to be just tools, like a hammer.

That kind of mindset needs to be a thing of the past. Not having the patience to figure out how things work is how every war in my lifetime got started.

why are they always trying to compete with apple in the worst ways possible?

If people want to use apple devices, they’ll just use apple devices.

Seriously if anyone from microsoft is reading this, ask yourself, why did so many people LOVE windows 7 and hate windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11? Windows 8 is where it started going off the deep end and now we’re at windows 11, where literally every change you’re making is causing more and more people to teach themselves how to use linux.

And now to salt the wound, you fuckers are blocking people from using third party apps to make their systems work the way they want them to.

That’s how you’re choosing to compete with apple? to make your OS as shitty as possible? To take as much control away from the customer as possible? Are you sure that’s the hill you want to die on? …Okay. Your funeral.

we really need to have a revolution in every workspace and making everything a democratic worker-owned co-op

I don’t understand why microsoft “felt pressure” at all.

People loved windows 7 and hated windows 8. But they kept doing more of what the customers hated over and over, and now they’re blocking people from using the work-arounds that make their systems usable for them.

why do they have to hand it over to whatsapp? Why not hand it over to some cybersecurity researchers instead and then order them to hand over some virus database information to every antivirus company that operates in the US?

Trillions, if you count all the taxpayer money that corpos get for free

Here in the US it’s the employees that get stolen from the most.

I’d be okay with that one too, if only it didn’t have a microphone and camera and connections to google, amazon or apple.
