Don’t worry, she’s probably getting deported/disappeared soon.

Fair point. It might be an emergency PR fail, but it does feel quite embarrassing to close the topic blaming the users.

It might still be. The article does mention that the numbers might be caused by its popularity and that the issue isn’t exclusive to it.

So they grasped the inevitable and dove right into it.

Not your dog, you only own the license to have them as a pet and it can be withdrawn at any time.

Do you even need to ask? It’s in the name, ID every1!

Is this a thing? Why would a TV have remote access features?

In the extremely unlikely case the warranty bound technical support team needs remote access in order to reset your settings.

When being scammed.

Posting memes, playing H&H and managing your own dungeon!? Where do you find the time to do all that?

His internet, the only internet. Worldwide.

My post won’t help you much, so read on only if you have nothing better to do.

According to my short “research”, these “features” are all integrated into one big steaming pile of crap with a ton of dependencies. Can’t remove one completely without fucking up the others, you can only disable it.

This hodgepodge of whatever the fuck they did likely means that most if not all of the shit none of us want are making calls to access the encrypted data through bit locker. No bitlockr, the calls get wrecked and the PC/laptop has a meltdown.

OS rollbacks usually fuck something up related to changes and features that don’t exist in previous versions, so best bet is a fresh install. Zero interest from the OS company to have you revert to a previous version, so any direct rollback feature is probably just lip service.

24H2 was a buggy mess throughout its beta and even at launch. Whatever the fuck is going on with it, nobody knows, not even its developers. So your only real hope of getting a bug fixed is if it gets on their radar and they’ll give a fuck about fixing it.

You’re fucking welcome! Happy holidays!

Agreed.

But you never caught my initial point either.

My goalpost never moved. Technically, the feature can be improved.

All better choices. Sadly for now reality chooses the worse option.

Even nuclear technology isn’t perfect, yet people are pushing for it in spite of the dangers.

Is the solution to give it up completely?

Please.

Terrible or not, it exists and should be handled. Of those able to move away from Microsoft, good for them. Everyone else still needs the help.

Could they be helped? Technically maybe. Will they be helped? Probably not.

Depends. Can anyone with the know-how create a custom way of taking a screenshot/capture independent of all others or do all methods have to use an immutable function as the base?

If the former, i agree with you. If the latter, you’re kinda wrong to believe so.

Agreed completely.

If a malware bypasses a function directly, then closing that loophole would force future versions to find more complicated ways of achieving the same thing, which makes them more visible in the long run.

Edit: Also, Microsoft sucks. But now that the ugly crap is out there, you’ll come to face it eventually. Why not be more prepared?
