Is this the enshittification everyone keeps talking about?
It's awful but not eshittification.
Eshittification is suddenly waiting 40 minutes on a drive through because the restaurant refuses or can't hire more workers.

#73They are probably thinking of training agents to do the back office work of their customers, no? Seems kinda obvious, regardless of the "this is local data only" talk.

#75National Defense runs almost entirely on Windows workstations, including "high-side" or classified networks. I can't imagine the powers that be are too thrilled with this feature, and much like the Intel TPM High Assurance bit, I bet there's an undocumented way to remove it.
"National Defense runs almost entirely on Windows workstations, including "high-side" or classified networks."
Windows is "military-grade". That's a laugh.
In case of doubt I am referring to the US practice of marketing certain products as "military-grade". Perhaps to suggest something like, "If it is good enough for the military, then it is surely good enough for the civilian."

They've got their own version of Windows and licensing. They're not running Windows 10 Home lol. They've got their own LTSC type thing. DoD works directly with Microsoft. None of this applies to them.
I have worked in National Defense, held a security clearance, etc. and can confidently say you are mistaken.
Microsoft is not maintaining a separate build of Windows for DoD. They may have bespoke licensing agreements and support contracts, but military and DoD workstations run regular windows.

#78Earlier quoted context omitted.
Exactly the sort of brainwashing I was referring to. Security depends entirely on your threat model. Look up the CVE stats by OS and you'll see the truth.
> Look up the CVE stats by OS 2024: https://www.cvedetails.com/top-50-products.php?year=2024 9 of 10 are Windows branded operating systems. 3,276 across all of these platforms. Of these, over 1,000 are different versions of Windows 10. Compared to 1799 on the Linux kernel, which is actively developed and will be actively developed for the foreseeable future. Are you arguing that Windows doesn't continuously get CVE e…
I'm saying that the newer the version, the more CVEs it has.

Precisely. Windows 11 will be worse.
Of course this doesn't exclude bogus/trivial ones, since CVE-chasing is a thing now, but how many were found in older versions?
...and no surprise that I'm being downvoted by the corporate-authoritarian shills for speaking against the narrative. Yet it should be clear that the newer the code is, the buggier it is --- especially with the sort of competence that passes for developers these days. MS is adding more and more attack surface every day.

#80Will Microsoft sell your 'Recall' information to 3rd-parties?
They should: they could make more profit that way. What are people going to do, stop using Windows?
