Comment on Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

  If you’re okay with Windows 10, why not LTSC? No feature updates but you do get security updates for an extended lifecycle.

    I honestly don’t see a difference, and haven’t seen a difference in the past 4 years going between ameliorated windows and LTSC.

    The only reason I still use Windows is because of VR, I heavily invest my time in VRchat. Other than that, arch is my daily driver.

  Windows without updates = exploit found tomorrow = ransomware installed next week

    I’m sorry, do you seriously take me for an idiot? How disingenuous.

      unpatched windows has thousands of remote code execution exploits without user interaction, never heard that?

      Go to watch wannacry, there was no exe to open, it only needed unpatched “ameliorated” windows

      so yes, ransomware can appear out of thin air once an exploit is found.

        That is just completely wrong, wannacry spreads through LAN to other computers by using an exploit called EternalBlue, it utilized Server Message Block v1 or SMB v1, a feature of Windows for the use of setting up device communication within a network.

        The ransomware doesn’t just pop into any computer, it has to still drop in as a file into the intial computer most likely through phishing emails.

        On top of that I am the only one on my network.
