Boicot Al Windows Vista
Tasha Feil
yer right it is a virus, its also spyware you cannot remove, like that xbox crap, windows 10 is full of spyware, what does an 80 year old man like me want with xbox, I do NOT play games, and I dont want cortana to know everything I do or say, thank gawd I am expert enough to remove all that microshit stuff and block MOST microshit stuff from the web
Th e anger expressed above should be a wake-up call to the programers who raped windows 7 and 8 to produce a peace of shit called windows 10.. All of us have spesific uses for computer programing and your job is on the line. Repair it now or find a new source of employment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely this. I have enjoyed to see all the hatred for Windows 10 that has been expressed in this thread. I swapped to a Linux distro and now feel really good about it. I have a windows dual boot for the top games but I do everything else in Linux fuck Microshit and fuck up their telemetry. They have ruined computing for me and nearly turned me into a dirty console pesant. Even gamers must abandon windoze now the shit drivers and planets saving power management means we cant even run our sweet GPUs at all. Linux is the light now. You can keep DX12.
I smell a possible class action lawsuit coming
I would love to move to linux and did set it up at one point. I could actually run windows under WINE but it did not recognize my hard drives other than the C drive. I am sure there is a fix, but I think it would require hours to become semi proficient with the Linux command line which is basically new to me
Appello della Società Civile Palestinese al boicottaggio, al ritiro degli investimenti e all'applicazione di sanzioni contro lo stato di Israele fino a quando non rispetterà il Diritto Internazionale ed i Principi Universali dei Diritti dell'Uomo 9 Luglio 2005
Noi, rappresentanti della società civile palestinese, chiediamo alle organizzazioni internazionali della società civile ed alle coscienze degli uomini di tutto il mondo di imporre ampi boicottaggi e realizzare iniziative di disinvestimento contro Israele simili a quelle applicate al Sud Africa nel periodo dell'apartheid. Noi facciamo appello a voi perchè facciate pressione sui vostri rispettivi stati per imporre embargo e sanzioni contro Israele. Noi invitiamo anche gli israeliani di buona volontà a sostenere questa richiesta, nell'interesse della giustizia e di una pace effettiva.
only tested Windows 2000, and not XP or Vista, both combined are far more used than 2000 Still, 2000 has more (desktop) users than Linux. By your logic, if there were a similar problem in Linux, it would be less of a problem?

The non-troll way of highlighting this information would be:
That is a problem. I am eagerly awaiting the tests of XP and Vista to see if this was fixed for them.
You could probably even slip a little bias in there without being called a troll with:
They are going to test with XP and Vista aren't they? After all, it should be trivial to test this on the newer systems if the cryptography hasn't been changed. I mean what kind of security researcher just assumes the functionality of a security system?
Of course, it would be a little silly to assume that this does not affect at least XP, as 2000 was still under maintenance when XP was released, so if the bug was found during the development of XP, it should have been fixed in 2000. It would look far worse for Microsoft if they KNEW about a security hole in 2000 while it was still under maintanace, and did not bother to back port the fix from XP.Parent SharetwitterfacebookWhy bother!

It basically still uses a 2 digit date, and defines an arbitrary split point, eg:
Dates below 70 are considered in the year 2000, over 70 are considered in the 1900s.
Excel also has some stupid bugs to do with dates, which microsoft are now trying to enshrine in the ooxml format.Re: (Score:3, Informative)by Anonymous Coward writes: Windows NT uses several formats: SYSTEMTIME (field separated structure), FILETIME (64-bit NTFS time timestamps), 64-bit posix-like timestamps, etc., all of which are fine *far* beyond the 2048 32-bit Posix boundary. Just because the value you found doesn't have leading zeros doesn't mean it is processed as smaller than 64-bits.
Maybe you should read some formal documentation before posting.

Therefore, the backward and forward security attacks, which only work while there is no entropy based rekeying, are highly effective. Furthermore, we also found that part of the state of the generator is initialized with values that are rather predictable.
Windows 11, for most users has nothing of value, if you have to harass users to get your FREE update, then it says a lot about your product. In a free market the price people are willing to pay sets the value of a product if that is zero, it says what the value is. The main value to me of me getting windows 11 is it will stop nagging me to get windows 11. But I am not fooled it will just start nagging me about the next feature Microsoft things I need and I don't want.
The features I see in windows is it is simply becoming more of an advertising platform than an operating system. Oh yes and moving buttons around the screens because some useless, overpriced UX expert thinks they need to be moved, just leave them be the only thing you are adding is me having to learn the new locations. My analogy is an electrician coming around and offering to move all the locations of your light switches for fee every couple of year, you would have to pay me a significant amount of money to do that.
Yep, windows 11 at work keeps asking me to back up my data in their cloud. Well, it's almost entirely PII so that would be bad mmkay? But Microsoft still keeps showing me the ad and won't let me tell them to shove it permanently, only put it off.
You can mouse over an icon in the task bar on Windows and see all the open windows. It's still clumsy compared to having a vertical taskbar with separate items per window if you're frequently switching between multiple windows for the same application.
the TPM thing was nice because you could forestall MS pushing 11 on you by disabling it in bios.
>avoid being pestered to upgrade to an even more garbage version of windows with this one easy trick
everything from painful and nonsensical UI changes, to the strong-arming the 'windows account' cuntery (yeah, that's some shit. you have to yank your internet access and use a command in a hidden console window to avoid using their bullshit windows account) disallowing users to block updates (easily that is. No, 'delaying' them for 2 weeks is bullshit. it's my computer, fuck off!)
Throughout all of Microsoft history users have upgraded OSes involuntarily, almost universally with new hardware. People didn't go out seeking new windows, they went out and got new machines with new windows on it and then set about complaining about the change.
At what point did we suddenly change history and get obsessed with the idea that users want a new OS, or seek a new OS, or are even willing to use a new OS. Here's how actual users work:
- Girlfriend upgraded her Android version by accident when she misclicked while aiming for the 100th press of the ignore / later button.
- Complete mishmash of Windows 10 / Windows 11 machines in this house. The ones which came with Windows 10 have windows 10 on them. The ones which came with windows 11 have windows 11 on them. Literally no one here gives a rats arse about changing one to the other.
- Father asked me the other day if he should upgrade to Windows 11. I said he'll gain little for it and may as well wait until support ends so that mother won't complain and don't don't need to play tech support.
clearly it's easier to create an entirely new version of an OS like windows that is simply worse than what came before, than patching whatever security / performance issues might exist.
in most other industries sabotaging your existing product to drive purchases of new versions would lead to prosecution.
Si alguien pensaba que Netflix se iba a arrepentir por eliminar las cuentas compartidas, está muy equivocado. Los anunciados boicots y cancelaciones masivas de cuentas, parece que no se han producido.
Natalie Portman, Mira Sorvino, Colin Firth y Susan Sarandon son una muestra de las decenas de actores que estos días han jurado no trabajar más con Allen en solidaridad con Farrow. El llamamiento al boicot puede incluso impedir que la productora Amazon Studios estrene A Rainy Day in New York, la última película ya terminada del realizador de 82 años. Podría quedar inédita si la productora decide meter a Woody Allen (y los 25 millones de dólares que ha costado el rodaje) en el saco de los proscritos.
