Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm no expert, but your browsers security features and windows defender probably play a role too
MS thinks the new Teams is a virus. In Edge it asks if you're sure you want to keep the download, it could be harmful.
It's right. Teams is the worst pile of garbage created since Windows Me, except it's actually worse. Fuck Teams!
Edge has no way to find out that the random .exe you just downloaded is Microsoft Teams and has not been tampered with. It would be reckless to not warn the user about downloading files from the web.
It came from their site, directly from the link inside the personal teams splash page... Can't fingerprint it? Or read the md5?
What would they compare the MD5 against? This would mean having all the MD5 files of all the software on all the internet baked right into edge. Or they would have to configure (probably multiple) repositories of known good MD5s to check against. All that’s quite a lot of work just to save you from having to click “Yes” once more.
If you really want to only use software that MS deems safe, why not use the Microsoft store instead of downloading the software yourself?
because it's directly from their site. why are you arguing about this? and the microsoft store is trash.

We are arguing about this. And I’m doing this because you’re not getting that what you’re asking for is impossible. Even if you’re downloading a file from a server called microsoft.com via SSL, the file may still be corrupt. The chance is slim, but still the risk is too big for Microsoft to tell their users, “Go ahead, it’s fine.”
