@briankrebs And its all useless when the update fails to install on the first try, acts like it succeeded on the second try, only to fail to reboot, and finally after three reboots, the recovery kicks in and undoes it. Yay Microslop! And this is not shitposting, that's precisely what just happened to me, today.
I’m useless understanding tech. I understand wasting my time.
I installed Linux Mint. At least now when I have to look something up, it works to my advantage

Yes, Windows (ab)users it's your favorite time of the month once again (ducks). Microsoft today released updates to fix more than 50 security holes in its Windows operating systems and other software, including patches for a whopping six "zero-day" vulnerabilities that attackers are already exploiting in the wild.

If it weren't for proprietary software without alternatives, people would have moved long, LONG ago. And I fear the current wave of kernel-level anti-cheat is specifically designed to keep users stuck to Windows for a little bit longer -

@briankrebs if you ever had the (un)fortunate time of working closely with Microsoft product team they literally are dumbfounded by customers feedback about their products. It's even more shocking to other engineers and myself when we see their faces on calls with people trashing their cloud infrastructure and OS. Like they been living in their own bubble this entire time. Every organization I deal with is switching their whole env to Apple. The calculated costs are cheaper long term with hardware life cycle and stability requiring less IT resources.
Can't wait to see Microsoft only left popular in places like India. Even China and other countries are migrating to Linux.

@briankrebs Yup, this one has hosed my system. It called for a Windows 11 25H2 (repair version) update, which I obliged, which took a long time, which failed, and now Windows Update won't do anything but show the retry button for the (repair version) of Windows 25H2. I'm more of a Linux guy than a Windows guy, but I use Windows, for unfortunate, but necessary reasons. Otherwise, if this were a Debian system, I'd be digging into the guts to find out what's wrong. But since its Windows, this one gets logged as yet another format and reinstall. Thanks #Microslop

@fdelapena If you mean amutable.com/ , there's a good chance that Valve is at least following their work

@briankrebs not shure if #Windows useage is #CyberMasochism or if the people using it should be considered victims...
- Seriously...
