Now with (official, overt, and unabashed) built-in spyware! Let Windows Recall screenshot you while you ... Yeah, it's not just your browser history you have to worry about any more! Switch to linux or give up se.... hmmm....

But have they removed SNAP yet? I'm not getting anywhere near it if it still forces SNAP down your throat. It is painfully bloated and slow.... Never again!

Well sure. It's all optional NOW. But we know how that goes... It will be mandatory in 5 years or less. Guaranteed.

At this point in time with all the automated testing, and with all the memory management tools available, any memory mismanagement issues are almost invariably intentional back doors. And why bother with the kernel anyway when any shell with an input prompt will get you root? Computer Security...

As a user of both Win10 (at home) (also linux at home and office!) and Win11 (at the office), I will NEVER allow Win11 on any of my personal machines. It is absolutely hideous. Even explorer is broken. Download a file.... you have to manually refresh the window for it to show. Unzip a file? Oh...

Personally, I can't stand Git either. Not for the reasons mentioned in the article, but because they change syntax so often that the documentation simply never matches and one spends hours trying to find something up to date that actually works and doesn't muck things up even worse than it was...

No chills. Backdoors are expected these days. Linux is known to be severely lacking in security. That said, most users will give you their password if you just call them up and ask them. Backdoors are the least of my problems. We're at the point in "software engineering" where fixing one...

I don't want any of these "fixes" that affect performance. I am the only one on my machine. If the attacker has enough control to execute these attacks then they already have complete control of my machine anyway. I don't want this. I want speed. There are no other users. I want an easy way to...

Is there an easy way to turn off all these performance-killing fixes? I am the only one on my computer. No one else. If the hacker has enough control to squeak this information out of my CPU, then they already have complete control of the machine anyway. These kinds of bugs are only relevant for...

Yeah... Netgear started this with their routers. I stopped buying them. At least I knew enough to stop buying HP a long time ago... I hate subscriptions.

Doesn't matter how "memory safe" the language is. With the incredulously low standard for programmers these days, they are all a threat. Plus they all have built-in back doors anyway. Everyone knows that. I'll never give up C. Malloc() and free() and I have been best buddies for decades... Stop...

Three little words: TOLD YOU SO! Lol! Big.Little is garbage.

Cool! Now they can accomplish nothing even faster!

Oh, now that's certainly lovely! Double or triple the odds of burning your house down!

Or, you know, just don't buy anything afflicted with this obviously defective connector and make NVIDIA eat their mistake. It's not like they aren't laughing at you. They are. I can hear them from here.
