Stop What You’re Doing and Patch the Windows Bug That Took Microsoft 17 Years

#1

Interesting Windows update before or after the recent Twitter attack on the big celebrities…

#2

Stop what you’re doing, format your drive and install Linux.

Even better. Don’t wait 17 years any more.

I wish, but how many companies use Linux on their computers?
We can do that on personal computers though :slight_smile:

Thats true.
But do it on your private device.
There are some LINUXers who really dislike Windows, I dont, I used it for many years.
Had to play around with all OS (UNIX too, therefore I like cryptic command lines :rofl:)
But now is no more need to use, so bye bye windows for ever.
For traveling I got an elder SAMSUNG Tab A.
So I am “up to date” :wink:

I’ve tried Linux and liked it. But many of the apps that I need are made for iOS or Android only.
I agree with office suit and all that, but these are the specific apps which are not available in Linux. Too bad I cannot use the web browser instead of some apps.

The apps!

The only app I need (I could do it by normal post also) is to file my bills to the health insurance.
(taking a photo) I use my SAMSUNG Tab A.

Other apps? Dont need. I am too old styled I know!
(but still alive with no apps! :joy:)

Now they made it hard to survive without an App. There is an App for everything :joy:

You can run Android on Linux in a VM. A form of that using containers is how a Chromebook does it.

Most functions can be done in a Chrome browser. The only application I required which was tied to Windows was Visio, I rarely used it.

I use Linux on a Thinkpad, having purged Windows from it, and Android. I keep a Windows VM for the rare, and getting rarer, situations it has to be Windows. For example the method to upgrade the firmware on a Soundcore.

The poignant question to an IT security dept is: why are you tying the business security to one OS with a record of large security holes? Android is not perfect, no OS is, but if you can’t run your business on a platform-agnostic basis then how do you take back control of your security? If you do not control a situation, the situation controls you.
