Changer une option dans le BIOS de windows à Linux casse la machine 🤨

Our goal was to confuse EDR by implanting malware signatures into legit files and make them think its malicious

The thing is, there was and is nothing wrong with the laptop. Actually, it had better specs than my current laptop that I work on every day. As far as I can tell, this person uses their computer for little more than sending emails, basic browsing, and watching the occasional video. All are things that their hardware could easily manage.

The only thing it couldn’t manage was Windows 11.

A thin version of Windows 11

Windows 10 EOL will affect 240 million devices.

To meet the demands of the European Commission's Digital Markets Act—slated to be enforced in March 2024—Microsoft must make its apps easier to uninstall, its default settings easier to change, and its attempts at steering people toward its services easier to avoid.

It includes Bing, default apps, Edge, etc...

Selon une étude menée par Nexthink, la moitié du parc installé en entreprises de terminaux sous Windows serait incapable d'adopter Windows 11.

Cela fera autant de machines potentielle pour GNU/Linux.

L'étude a été menée par Nexthink au premier trimestre 2022. Elle porte sur 3,12 millions de terminaux de 457 organisations clientes de Nexthink de 8 secteurs de marché

A bad move indeed.

Forcing a web browser is never a good idea :/

On bloque les extensions de fichiers en vrac car c'est dangereux, au lieu de fichiers.

C'est oublier la responsabilité de l'OS d’exécuter directement au moindre clic tout ce qui est téléchargé en faisant confiance à l'extension. Pourquoi?

Au contraire sous Linux,

1. l'extension de fichier est visible
2. le système ne se base pas sur l'extension du fichier mais sur ses données internes pour savoir l'exécuter
3. Par défaut, ce n'est pas exécutable.

When shown the huge list of operating systems curl runs on, people often ask me which is the strangest, or hardest, operating system to keep curl support for. The answer is always, and will probably always remain: Windows.

No other operating system has so many custom, special, weird and quirky ways that require special-case solutions in the code.

The next question is:

• are linux users more tech-savvy and they will report bugs
• are users more willing to report bugs because they are on linux

🤔

It is now harder to switch to another default web browser in Windows 11. Nice microsoft....

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) had 2 versions !
