Right? Before they even officially rolled it out, there are already python scripts on github that can extract your entire recall database. They need to just stop.
Wild for sure. It’s pretty clear that M$ isn’t interested in making their OS anything more than a portal for their cloud products.
The overall percentage of revenue that Windows produces for them directly has been steadily shrinking for years while their Azure and cloud services/licensing has grown dramatically.
I guess it makes sense from that perspective. Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer my OS to be a platform for me to compute locally on and use as I see fit. Not be a bloated ad-ridden portal to a walled garden of proprietary web software.
Windows has gotten so bad in the last year or so, that I’ve actually started telling people, “Try Linux, but if that doesn’t work for you, just go with Apple.”
Both are scummy, evil mega corps that try to lock you into their platform forever. But at least with Apple, the cage is 24K gold with a little cushion, and you’re fed avocado toast & kombucha.
Windows is a rusty, filthy prison cell where the guards randomly come in to rough you up and you’re fed a steady diet of stale bread heels and gruel.
My job is almost entirely SSH-ing onto 40 different Linux servers, and doing some networking/bash script stuff, and sending emails.
It makes zero sense for my workplace to force me to use Windows, but they do. And my god, the laptop is slow. I keep thinking damn I have a laptop 10yrs older than this running Fedora just fine, and Fedora isn’t even pegged as a lightweight distro.
Go easy on them, they’re only a 3 trillion dollar company. It’s hard for them to get the resources to build well thought out and secure software.
Pathetic, so glad I’ve been on Linux for years. I don’t miss Micro$oft one bit.

I’m pissed off I have to use Windows for work.
