It’s like Microsoft is advertising for Linux at this point, lol.
“KB5094126 patched 208 security vulnerabilities on June 9, but the update has triggered Recycle Bin display glitches, BitLocker lockouts on enterprise hardware, OneDrive failures, and system freezes, with the first fix not expected until July 14.”
I see they let AI at their codebase.
Windows has become an early 2000’s webpage. Filled with ads, quiet installs, and nagging deceptive pop-ups.
Hey real quick, you want to make edge your default browser and talk to Cortana?..
“You have clicked no. Microsft Edge is your new default browser! How can I help you more with the microsoft experience?” - Cortana.
Reminds me of that tweet:
"Does microsoft understand concent?
- yes
- Ask me again later"
I still love the older Windows like Windows XP way better. It really didn’t do any of that shit. You just needed a pop up blocker.
7 was it for me. That XP start up sound and bliss hits me in the nostalgia.
I think I’m glad that microslop didn’t go with Cortana as their dumb LLM name.
Not that there were any good back when Cortana was the Pc AsSiStAnT for Windows, to be clear.
just replace the old ‘punch the monkey’ with certain other faces…
and you’d get clicks like crazy.
Microsoft confirmed the issue on June 18 and said a fix would not arrive until July 14. The company attributed the bug to a security hardening change that closed a 23-year-old unchecked-buffer vulnerability in the Windows Shell’s desktop.ini processor.
Inspiring confidence!
lol
I’m confused by that last sentence. Does mean that the bug stems from patching a 23-year old vulnerability, or that the bug is because of a patch made to fix the vulnerability 23 years ago?
The vulnerability existed for 23 years, was recently discovered and patched and that patch introduced a new bug
Thank you!
May I let you all know about windows update blocker?
It buys you time til you get your machine switched over to Linux without being at the mercy of a forced update potentially bricking it first
There are still telemetries that send back data. You also have to turn most of those off, but there are required ones that you can’t turn off.
Nothing AI can’t fix.
“If it ain’t broke
don’tyou can’t fix it!” -Copilot
A question I have always have is you can’t copyright AI gen code. Does that mean Windows will eventually be no longer copyrighted by MicroSlop
You misunderstand. You can’t copyright the LLM output. But they can because they bought the politicians.
Well that is a given but i do look forward to the day it bites them in the ass
