Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 day agoI agree, all I ask is you show me one in Windows 7. Send me a URL that when I click it my bank account is emptied immediately.
All these threats people see are always something you actively install or are involved in, or some sort of social engineering scam. Even Windows 17 can’t help you with that.

Impressive. That much stupid in such a compact and misspelled sentence.

Well, it’s still a question that needs answering. I’ve been running Windows 7 non-stop for years. The only reason it crashes is because the hardware is failing. Computing isn’t as complex as biology, for example, a program running on my laptop doesn’t reproduce and evolve and then send out floppy discs into the atmosphere where other computers breathe it in.
It’s still relatively simple and deterministic. So, show me a URL that I can click on that will demonstrate all these threats I keep hearing about. Show me a link explaining these “vulnerabilities” that doesn’t end in “the user needs to install and run the malware in the browser.”
You guys are so certain it’s everywhere, should be easy. Which part of TCP/IP is sending me code that Windows 7 will then execute?
Waiting! Or maybe you’ve made this your entire identity and feel threatened by a simple question? You should be happy to hack my poor old Windows 7 with a simple URL?

I don’t know specific vulnarabilities but they either exist already or can be discovered at any moment without being patched. Not installing stuff yourself doesn’t make you safe, just less unsafe.
