with all the tech ceos suddenly “sounding the alarm” about the AI bubble bursting and shoveling “bloatware/spyware” into all thier devices and softwares its not really surprising.
You have been warned. We’re still doing it, but at least we did warn you. The fuckery of MicroShit knows no bounds.
Thanks for reminding me to block this feature at work.
Where are the techbros that warned me of malware since W10 is EOL? Do you like your new AI built-in malware, cunts?
God, I gotta switch to Mint for good…
Um … no thanks.
i hate this so very, very much
Scammers won’t need to social engineer grandma into giving out her SSN, they can just ask her AI many times and eventually, it will spit out absolutely everything.
Interesting Defcon presentation about how AI is a security nightmare:
DEF CON 33 - Exploiting Shadow Data from AI Models and Embeddings - Patrick Walsh
So going forward, social engineering will also be applicable to some computers themselves instead of just the users.
Never. Ever. EVER. INSTALLING. ELEVEN.
windows 11 big button status confirmed.
What if I were to tell you the security risk was inside the OS all this time?
Step 1, delete Windows 11. Step 2, install Linux Mint.
I’ll be killing that service asap
Bold to assume your registry won’t restore last known ‘good’ config. Linux mint with quickemu is a great way to use Windows if you have to.
Um, just in case, I’ll have you know that I name all my folders “trans porn”. It doesn’t mean anything in particular.
I think I may have caused some confusion and after some research I can see why.
Naturally I was referring to transistors and transformers, and pictures thereof. Ha ha lol guys can we forget this now?
Transporners, more than meats the eye
A volume of NTFS that is filled entirely by folders named “trans porn” would mean that there isn’t a single folder in there that contains 2 folders.
New organizing system just dropped. It’s just a chain of five thousand trans porn folders. The depth means something to the creator.
You can now have 128 files in your filesystem.

I think I could honestly get away with 128 deep paths. I don’t use more than twenty unique folders in my day-to-day computing. It might be difficult to get the various programs on board with my trans porn name for each folder, but that’s what tinkering is for, eh?
Did you post the wrong link? Yours is about “Maximum Path Length Limitation” and the number 128 doesn’t appear anywhere on that page. The max path length is 256 characters.
Where did you read that “you can now have 128 files in your filesystem?”
If you want to encode information into only the depth of your recursive identically named folders, you have 128 different depths, one character for the name, one for the slash, per level. Yields about 128 possible levels. Leave one off for the last filename, 127.
If we want to name our folders something longer than a single character, we can store less files. If we want to store our files on linux, by default we get 4096 characters to play with, so about 2k levels (unless we compile our own linux kernel with PATH_MAX set for this very specific purpose). If we run CIFS we may be able to reach up to 16k levels.
That was my interpretation of OPs (admittedly bad) idea. Personally, I try to avoid implementing inodes as Church numerals.
With Unicode, you can.
Meanwhile I am rather happy that my older (gaming) PC is not suitable for Win11 anymore, due to TPM (first I was rather disappointed). For my daily stuff I use a MacBook Pro and the old Windows PC will eventually become a Linux PC.
The only problem is my work PC/Laptop, which runs on Win11 (my company wenn “all in” MS-Cloud and stuff), and which I occasionally also use to access some private files (which rest in an encrypted cryptomator vault, when not used).
