But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

Support-Ende von Windows 10 soll für gigantischen Müllberg sorgen
Am 14. Oktober 2025 wird der Support von Windows 10 eingestellt. Das könnte dazu führen, dass rund 240 Millionen PCs als Elektroschrott auf einer Mülldeponie landen, wie Analyseunternehmen Canalys befürchtet. Wären alles diese Geräte aufeinandergestapelte Laptops, wäre der Stapel in etwa 4.080 Kilometer hoch. Das sind rund 600 Kilometer mehr als der Durchmesser des Mondes.

It's hard for me to emphasize just how much #Windows 11 is just a nasty lead paint coat over Windows 10. Still, I'll present you this nugget for your consideration: behind every round corner Windows 11 contextual menu, there's your good old square corner Windows 10 contextual menu with more options.
It isn't hidden, there's a contextual menu entry just to bring up the old menu! 🤯

Unfortunately, there's nothing much we can do about it. Once again, this shows how #Microsoft wants to lock their users in an environment without letting them the possibility to escape.
Supporting big hosts file is not that much of a challenge, it works like a charm on most POSIX compliant systems. But M$ wants to track you and they'll always try to do so.

There's been an upsurge in the number of users switching from Windows to Linux. Here are the reasons to make that switch from Windows to Linux.

1st day: Wow! So many features built-in and they work out of the box! It is just like Windows!
2d day: Not everything works actually but it can be fixed intuitively...or not. Some things seem to be too hard to fix, it is better to get used to them. Just like in Windows.
3rd day: But I already have #Windows.
#LinuxMint
Nothing I can find about it online except from #Microsoft itself: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?Name=Trojan:Win32/Peekeul.B&ThreatID=2147772321
Windows removed it automatically so I looked at the details of what exactly it removed.
Turns out the malware in question is Endpoint Analytics.
That's Microsoft's own software allowing employers to monitor employee computers: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/analytics/overview
And according to Microsoft's own antivirus, it's #malware.
