This is why gamers should reject kernel anti cheats. A single dev at a single company that requires one could read them as easily as any other file. I’m not exaggerating, unless I’m misinformed
Just use a separate boot for games
I think instead I will choose to both A) not install a rootkit on my desktop B) avoid an OS that handles passwords in plaintext
“Yeah totally secure! Just trust me!..” basically
This is LITERALLY isn’t secure; they should atleast make it encrypted. This is just the same as using your notes app as password manager! But it’s microsoft, and they’re willingly giving your bitlocker encryption key to the FBIs for your drives. So I’m not surprised…
That’s the added trust and security they always boast about
trust is multiplicative, not additive
How will the NSA spy on you if Microsoft doesn’t hand them your passwords?
Microsoft SSH agent persistently stores your unencrypted private keys in the registry. They’re still there unlocked and usable after you reboot.
God, the final comment in that thread makes my blood boil.
Right there in the name, it says Secure She’ll Hades
does this company intentionally want users to stop using it? cuz day by day either theres a new windows bug or just shittier softwares
The AI tells them this is fine, and we are not to question the AI.
I think it’s more than they just don’t care. Microsoft cornered the business world decades ago because they’ve got wot C-levels crave…or something. End users have no say in it.
M365 chat also fetches a copy of whatever secured file links you send to each other. Goes without saying, but never use Microsoft products if you value security.
Our lives are in the hands of morons. What the fuck.
Our lives are in the hands of product managers driving programming decisions.
Oh, sorry. I just realized I repeated what you said.
Theres an AI for that.
2026 is gonna be the year I finally move to Linux. I have huge concerns about many aspects of switching, but they’re being overtaken by concerns about staying with Windows. I don’t even mind if my overall user experience is a bit worse on Linux (I am trying to have reasonable expectations that it won’t be the walk in the park Linux advocates on Lemmy like to claim), I just have much more faith in its security, privacy, customisability and - most importantly - the motivations and intentions of its developers.
I switched my mom to Linux because teaching her how to use Linux as her daily driver was easier than trying to unfuck windows on her computer.
Back up your data and then go nuts.
Controversial take from someone who dual boots windows and linux on my home PC and uses macs as work machines but, honestly windows is fine. IMO if you’re the kind of person who cares about a good running machine you’ll have configured settings and gotten rid of the bloatware and done a bunch of stuff to make windows a relatively decent experience anyway, and linux requires a similar amount of effort to get running the way you want it also, but can be a differently polished experience.
Modern OS’s are much of a muchness in practice with regards to their pros and cons. Please don’t downvote me to hell linux lovers, it’s my honest opinion after decades of use of all three.
Best of luck! If you’ve got questions or problems feel free to DM me (or reply here) and I’ll try to help as best I can. I’ve been using linux since the mid 90s, so I have a decent idea of how it all works :)
HOLY @#%^ WHAT IN THE @#%^ DO THEY MEAN “NOT TO WORRY”???
They mean that it won’t affect them.
Nothing in this timeline surprises me any more.
Access to browser data as described in the reported scenario would require the device to already be compromised.
Yes you can open our safe with just a good yank but if a thief can do that they’re already in your house.
If the thief is already in your house, he can also eat your meal and steal your furniture.
Microsoft - So secure we ROT13 encode everything… TWICE!
… They are so bad
we will take your data but don’t worry be happy 😁 🇯🇲 we will not use it. Because we are smoking ganja and smiling to each other in our office. We are so happy; Thanks to AI. Peace ☮️✌️😁🕶️
