Hah! Joke’s on you. I accidentally restarted my PC and updated it without wanting to.
Yeah? Well I was playing a game and it rebooted in the middle of a boss fight!
I was mid-proposal. She said, “Yes, as long as this call doesn’t e…” Thanks a lot, Microsoft!
i was using it to control the robot arms to operate my patient. at least its secure now!
Tell me you didnt take a look at your windows update settings without saying so.
Mine restarted while I was watching a movie.
Thanks Windows.
😏🐧
Just say you run Arch and move on.
I run Arch and move on.
Lies, you never move!
Mobility scooter. Duh.
Now THAT’S a story I can FEEL. Thank you.
Well, it’s not like you lost a pen, now, is it?
Edit: for anyone who is lost here, enjoy
Is it a Pilot G-2? 0.7mm?
I disabled ipv6 long ago and never moved. Not even blinked.
btw.
People always talk about Arch. I wonder what people think of other oses and the people who run them lol. Like I’m a bearded Debian user (closer to the look of the Dilbert comic unix guy).
I just like my build working. What’s wrong with that?
So it took a little while before I could run stable diffusion, I can now!
I think those are really the only two options when it comes to Linux (that’s why I main Windows 10). Hacker man or Dilbert.
Well, I’d like to think I’m just a normal looking dude who blends in in a crowd. I just use Debian ‘cause I got sick of Windows’ shit a long time ago, like, back when telemetry was introduced in Windows XP. That was the first sign of things to come. When we would start losing control of our own OS and computers and losing privacy as well. I shouldn’t even notice the OS when I do normal computer shit, and I want to keep it that way. Those who are old enough to have grown up with PCs in the 90s get what I’m saying. We had control.
You run Arch and move on.
(Am I doing this right?)

You run Arch and move on.
I thought he was saying he’s sexually attracted to punguins…
I run Arch and since then moved on.
Still waiting for a distro named “Arch btw”

Cachy me outside. I’ll run arch over you.
If Linux is so great, then explain why I can’t even install this latest security patch for Windows on my Tumbleweed??
You need to sudo zypper install win_patch
Great, it worked!
But now I have ads on my desktop, tiler, and all the menues feature ‘sponsored’ content instead of my shit.That’s a feature!
spoiler
An anti-feature, thanks proprietary software!
I like Linux, but it can have security issues just as well.
Sure can. Just more eyeballs on it and 3rd party eyeballs.
Not every exploit is discovered minutes to hours after a git push. Some go unnoticed for years.
Is this for Windows 11?
My windows XP laptop is good right?
Our windows XP laptop
Can’t tell if you’re russian, or room mates.
Just anyone with a windows xp machine really
Why would you make it accessible to the world?
In this case? Research, but you are correct in that it’s incredibly unlikely that someone today has their computer directly connected to the internet without a router or something preventing any incoming connection
People rely on IPv4 NAT to be a “firewall” and it drives me nuts
Could also be a joke on how there was a single XP serial number used by nearly everyone that got it from, uhh, non-official sources. FCKGW FTW.
They own the botnet.
What about Windows 3.1!?
Does 3.1 even go online?
Winsock baby.
modem noises
Pshhh “zoomers” amiright?!
Eh, they’re alright. They had to deal with more bullshit than I ever had to in high school.
They had to deal with the daily threat that a school shooting could be their school. All I had to deal with was teenage girls having a war over who was hotter. Backstreet Boys, or N-Sync.
Which to be fair, if you said the wrong one to a teenage girl in the 90s, she’d be likely to flip out on you. Still though, they wouldn’t pull a gun!
I’m honestly surprised that the closest we ever got to a parody boy band was Justin Timberlake singing Dick in a Box with Lonely Island. Seems like SOMEBODY should have made a parody band! Weird Al can’t do EVERYTHING, ok???
They had to deal with the daily threat that a school shooting could be their school.
What kinda hellscape country is that?
Oh wait. I know this one.
Zoomers are fine, just making fun of the concept of young people thinking Windows 3.1 couldn’t connect to the internet. America Online, bitch. A/S/L? Also Zi could type my friend’s phone # into Doom and it’d call his modem and we could play each other
New Kids on the Block you millennial.
You can equate your highschool experience to a war between boy band favorites.
Sounds like you had a good time in high school.
3.11 goes online
With workgroups.
With or without, it’s a personal choice
Fuckin DOS could go online.
“Compromises all devices running … an IPv6 address.”
Oh so no one is effected. (other then network nerds, and they are not real)
IPV6 is already rolled out in parts of the world. My provider has a Dual Stack lite architecture, the home connection is over IPV6, IPV4 is normally being tunneled via V6 through a provider grade NAT.
As I AM a network nerd, I pay for a dedicated IPV4 address every month, so I can reach my stuff from outside from old IPV4 only networks.
So when I plug in my router, connect a windows machine and just google stuff then all this traffic will be IPV6 without me configuring anything.
It’s so great fun having the attack surface being doubled by dual stack setups.
they certainly don’t run windows.
IPv6 is enabled by default on windows.
EDIT Here’s how to disable it. If you can’t on your modem/router. Open the network menu from the icon in bottom right of screen > right click on the network you are connected to and click “status” > In the popup click on the “Properties” button > You’ll get another popup with the name of your network adapter in a top line/box and a secondary box with a list of things in it > Look for the entry “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” and uncheck the box in front of it > click OK.
I’ve just queried it my IP is V4 so presumably I’m fine.
you can have both addresses at the same time - this site shows both if you have them: https://whatismyipaddress.com/
Depending on your ISP and network setup, you could very well have both v4 and v6 addresses.
Looking at the IP logs of the users on a website of mine shows that many people are already using IPv6 alongside IPv4. Some ISPs even don’t use IPv4 anymore unless you pay extra (Germany/Austria)
IPv6 huh? There are dozens of us!
Yay, new Xbox jailbreak method, can’t wait for new modded warfare videos about it
Serious question - I haven’t touched my Xbox one for about 4 years , it wasn’t powered and wasn’t connected to the internet - I would love to jailbreak it and run Linux on it. Can it be done?
About Linux, it’s not yet feasible, probably soon, right now Xbox one/series jailbreak scene is only making first steps with dumping of games and launching roms and emulators without dev mode
I updated Windows so hard Linux popped out.
And it’s Arch, by the way.
It sure is 😜
Sick my isp doesn’t even support ipv6
To note: It shows even Windows Server 2008 as affected. Since MS is only testing against OSses they support, it is possible this has existed as a problem all the way back since IPv6 was first introduced to Windows XP.
Also, for all of you “disable IPv6 because I don’t understand it” people… unless you are running Windows 8 or older, just update Windows. IPv4 has been out of addresses for so long that CGNAT is a thing, which means connectivity problems when you’re hosting stuff, and more latency and packet drops from ISP routers getting saturated with NAT tasks. IPv6 is alive on the internet since 2011 and very much used on the internet, does not tie up routers by requiring NAT translation, and therefore just performs better. Plus, if you use your network printer’s or network device’s link-local ipv6 to connect locally, you will never have to deal with static ip address or changing ipv4 lan address pain, as link-local (non-routable on the internet) addresses don’t change unless you force it.
Also don’t use $35 routers for your internet. If your router does not support ipv6 firewalling, it is long since time to fix that with one that does.
just update Windows
I’m still on 22h2 lol
Every version of 10 going back to 15.07 original release is affected.
deleted by creator
Lmao good thing we’re all on ipv4
This would presumably mainly be an issue for computers open to the internet. So not so much for home PCs, unless the router’s firewall is opened up.
For a professional sysadmin’s home network? Maybe. For the average Joe who probably has their 12-year-old toaster still connected to their wifi? I wouldn’t bank on it.
I just updated and now my audio sounds like shit.
That’s pretty odd. Did you try turning it off and on again?
One restart post-update restarts changed it and helped, but something was still off. Took me like 30 minutes but it looks like my nvidia HDMI audio output got reset to a really low 16 bit sample rate. Got that set back to a decent 24 bit and its closer, but something is still off. I don’t think I had any settings/levels/enchanments.
Sounds like windows changed your audio driver. I’d download the most recent audio driver available through nvidia, then uninstall your current audio driver in device manager and manually install nvidias.
16 bit audio is normal like 320kbps mp3 and not low bitrate
My LAN has ipv6 disabled. So there.
I tried to roll out ipv6 when I was sysadmin for a small ISP. ARIN gave me a /32 block with no fuss. I started handing them out only to discover most routers at the time couldn’t use them. Not much has changed. No one offers them and I just turned it off at my present job. None of my windows machine have the ipv6 stack enabled.
Token Ring FTW /s
Nah, bus with terminators is better.
Amateurs, not using null modem db9 serial
