    The same Microsoft that wants too take a low FPS screen recording of everything you do and will definitely keep it safe (until… whoopsie doodle! It’s all been uploaded to your onecloud and now as well as being over storage, your hentai viewing sessions are on the cloud, if you’re lucky in your account, but seeing as Microsoft just released software accidentally who can really say?)

    Micro$oft made switching to Linux really easy for me. Tried to make some space on my drive for Linux and good Ole bitlicker popped up. Go to this address to get your key. You do not have any stored keys they tell me. Fuck it. REFORMAT!

    People have commented that it’s crazy that I have completely disabled all updates on my win10 machine. This sort of thing is why.

    Edit: I haven’t had a virus or malware since… I was a teenager. It seems like if you use an adblocker, don’t click links from unknown sources, and are aware of your network activity, you are pretty safe. The writing is on the wall, I am aware that I will need to switch to Linux soon, but I am also aware that Linux has compatibility issues with my particular machine and doesn’t work with certain activities I like to do. I am hoping these issues will be mostly sorted by the time I make the leap.

      It’s crazy because it’s a huge security risk. If your that committed to not updating Windows, move to an alternative OS.

      Disabling updates is not a good choice. If you use Windows, update Windows. Having an insecure and not up to date version of windows makes you more vulnerable
