How much longer till Microsoft uses Windows computers across the world as a botnet. For working on it's AI. Or some other bullshit.
lmao its a matter of time before MS decides they need to DDoS someone so hard their data center explodes and they'll be ready to do it
Not sure if it's still a thing but I remember they also used windows to distribute updates to other windows PCs in a bittorrent-like fashion.
Honestly that can be a good thing, especially if you have more than one windows PC in your household, it's only downloading them once then sharing the updates about over the LAN
Ya in the business world that's what WSUS is/was for
