why is nobody talking about a fake image? hmm
If I was Microsoft o wouldn't let you run xvid as well are you living in 2010?
not very surprising tbh, Microsoft is exactly who I’d expect to do something like this. if you need to use windows on the machine you pirate stuff on just create a new user and disable smartscreen/defender on that account. i do agree though that this should get some more traction, more people use windows than id like to admit
There is gonna be easy fix for this in one second
Fuck, this worries me. Looks like my upcoming next PC build will exclude a Windows OS and opt for a Linux distribution.

We should all take a moment to consider this attempt by Microsoft to force AMD and Intel to integrate 'chip to cloud' nonsense.

I was your typical on-the-fence guy for years, installing Linux a couple of times a year, hopping between distros but eventually always returned to Windows. Those days are over for good. I learned to understand packages, dependencies and the basic tools to be able to understand and execute most troubleshooting. Still on an Apple laptop but once they pull similar shit with their telemetry that’s it.
