So going forward, social engineering will also be applicable to some computers themselves instead of just the users.

Windows 11 to add an AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders, warns of security risk
(www.windowslatest.com)
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).
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...
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.
windows 11 big button status confirmed.
You have been warned. We're still doing it, but at least we did warn you. The fuckery of MicroShit knows no bounds.
Is Apple doing this too?
Thanks for reminding me to block this feature at work.
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.
Another one? win11: Borgy
Time to move those porn files to an external drive and encrypt.
If you're only doing that now...
This guy porns :P
