All this talk of entitlement forgets that I paid for my fucking OS.
That doesn’t mean you get patches for the rest of your life. Again you are using a phone that doesn’t give you 10 years of support and you are acting like MS is evil for not giving you more.
Also, finally, if Microsoft really cared about their OS and licensing … so the massgrave exploit would stop working.
MS is evil because they don’t do more to stop piracy? Wtf?
Demand that a Linux developer must add a feature that you personally want and yes you are entitled. “I don’t want to upgrade Mint! Patch the old kernel. I demand it!”
MS is selling a security patch. Buy it or don’t.
Linux is available for free. Install it or don’t.
You don’t have a right to demand either way. It’s especially hypocritical given you spend more time on a phone that doesn’t give you 10 years of support like Windows 10 did.
You expect them to work for you for free? What kind of entitled bullshit is that?
Not paying for the 10 security updates doesn’t hurt MS. They don’t make money from their consumer OS. The money is from Office, Cloud, and corporate contracts. It only leaves your PC open. You don’t have the time to install Linux today but you will make the time to attempt to recover your Windows PC from ransomware because you left it unpatched.
Install Linux today. Stop making excuses.
Promoting MS products on the login screen of the OS you paid for is an ad.
You don’t see a difference between $10,000 and $10,000,000?
What would you do for $10k? What would you do for $10M?
In the US, Trump is using Elon’s money as a weapon. He has said if any politician doesn’t confirm his cabinet picks, Elon will spend millions to make sure they lose the next election.
They did say it was the largest ever.
There’s a difference between say the Chinese buying a politician the equivalent of a pint so they think positively of them and someone outright buying the election as long as you pledge to be a Nazi.
I think you need to read it more carefully. He didn’t use a /s tag
It should be thrown out but Elon is Trump now and Trump will make sure his platforms are protected.
He’s absolutely right. That’s why he should come work for me on his weekends. I’ll pay him $15/hr!
What? He won’t work for that? Lazy CEO.
I expected him to be selling pirate Switches and/or games. Nope. They are suing him only for talking about it. Insane.
I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!
You bastard! I have stuff to do today!
Ugh! Now I have the desire to play Super Star Trek. Because the cool kids in the computer club (they had very limited space in the computer room and I didn’t get in) got to play it on the mainframe teletype.
It’s never work in the US because holding private companies accountable for how they spend public money and maintaining well regulated competitive markets is communism or something
It did work in the US for many years. During the 90’s the Internet was regulated like that. Phone lines, t1’s etc were infrastructure that the ilec was required to provide at the same cost to isps they used internally to sell service to consumers.
Then Bush came in and ruled that fiber and cable were immune from those common carrier laws.
As others gave said, the solution is a VM but once setup correctly, you won’t notice.
If Windows is your primary computer, install HyperV, the built in VM manager for Windows. Then create a Linux VM for your NAS.
Once setup, you won’t even notice. HyperV auto saves and reloads the VM whenever you reboot. You don’t even need a window open for the VM, it runs in the background until you run the manager to connect to the VM and see it in a window.
If Linux is your primary OS, do the reverse and put Windows in a Linux VM.
Don’t hassle with Proxmox, etc. That’s for running lots of VM’s and toggling between them.
You might want to consider that backups only protect very old data from ransomware.
Ransomware works by getting on a machine and sitting for several months before activating. During that time, your data is encrypted but you don’t know because when you open a file, your computer decrypts it and shows you what you expect to see. So your backups are working but are saving files that will be lost once the ransom ware activates.
The only solution is to frequently manually verify the backup from a known safe computer. Years ago I looked for something to automate this but didn’t find it. (Something like a raspberry pi with no Internet that can only see the PC it’s testing, compares a known file, then touches the file so it gets backed up again.)
Just because you can break RSA doesn’t mean you instantly get access to all private databases.
Encryption by itself isn’t important. You know all those big company data leaks that seem to happen every month? That data was very likely encrypted. But it doesn’t matter because when you control a computer, you can see the encryption keys being used and decrypt whatever is stored.
What does it do that you can’t get by typing something into the chatgpt website?
I don’t know where the 20 million comes from Estimates are 4000 qbits for RSA 2028.
You’d be shocked at how cheap bribes are.
£10k is all it takes.

What would you do for $10M?
