You have been warned. We’re still doing it, but at least we did warn you. The fuckery of MicroShit knows no bounds.
Scammers won’t need to social engineer grandma into giving out her SSN, they can just ask her AI many times and eventually, it will spit out absolutely everything.
Interesting Defcon presentation about how AI is a security nightmare:
DEF CON 33 - Exploiting Shadow Data from AI Models and Embeddings - Patrick Walsh
Never. Ever. EVER. INSTALLING. ELEVEN.
Where are the techbros that warned me of malware since W10 is EOL? Do you like your new AI built-in malware, cunts?
God, I gotta switch to Mint for good…
Step 1, delete Windows 11. Step 2, install Linux Mint.
i hate this so very, very much
What if I were to tell you the security risk was inside the OS all this time?
My mom is a retired nursing instructor, I’ve picked up a few things over the years. This is going to be fun when a HIPA violation occurs via MS A.I.
Honestly any industry where you see confidential information or proprietary information, could pose a massive threat to customers. Just knowing how much of a product your competitors are shipping to a location can tell you a lot of what they are planning.
I work in healthcare (maintenance) and our computer system is so fucking locked down, I’m sure CoPilot will have some similar way of being shackled. I was surprised to learn that the terminal isn’t locked, until I fooled around some and realized that every possible command was individually blocked.
I work IT at a university that does medical research, and the doctors and their assistants are by FAR the biggest security pit among all the demographics: staff, students, various faculties. You could tell them you were official password inspector and flash an ID written in crayon on a used napkin and they’d just “yeah whatever, here you go, stop bothering me”.
They’d get chewed into paste by their directors after the inevitable happened and their compatriots would learn NOTHING.
I have to use TaskManager now to disable co-pilot
I guarantee you they will solve it by lobbying to get rid of HIPA
At some point, all that juicy sweet medical data will be worth the 8 figure bribe to several congressmen to allow thebsale of access to the data for ‘research’ use to amazon and google.
All that data is private, until it isnt.
Dont be so innocent to think that hipaa data will never be sold, it will be eventually
Nah, why get rid of it if you can get exclusions for just AI, like they are doing for other stuff like copyright.
Yeah keep the law around in case you need to weaponize it against an individual, but ignore it for corporations. The modern solution!
Yep. Waiting for the day I pull up to the dispensary to find it surrounded by ICE vans.
with all the tech ceos suddenly “sounding the alarm” about the AI bubble bursting and shoveling “bloatware/spyware” into all thier devices and softwares its not really surprising.
So going forward, social engineering will also be applicable to some computers themselves instead of just the users.
Um, just in case, I’ll have you know that I name all my folders “trans porn”. It doesn’t mean anything in particular.
Transporners, more than meats the eye
I think I may have caused some confusion and after some research I can see why.
Naturally I was referring to transistors and transformers, and pictures thereof. Ha ha lol guys can we forget this now?
A volume of NTFS that is filled entirely by folders named “trans porn” would mean that there isn’t a single folder in there that contains 2 folders.
New organizing system just dropped. It’s just a chain of five thousand trans porn folders. The depth means something to the creator.
You can now have 128 files in your filesystem.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry
I think I could honestly get away with 128 deep paths. I don’t use more than twenty unique folders in my day-to-day computing. It might be difficult to get the various programs on board with my trans porn name for each folder, but that’s what tinkering is for, eh?
Did you post the wrong link? Yours is about “Maximum Path Length Limitation” and the number 128 doesn’t appear anywhere on that page. The max path length is 256 characters.
Where did you read that “you can now have 128 files in your filesystem?”
If you want to encode information into only the depth of your recursive identically named folders, you have 128 different depths, one character for the name, one for the slash, per level. Yields about 128 possible levels. Leave one off for the last filename, 127.
If we want to name our folders something longer than a single character, we can store less files. If we want to store our files on linux, by default we get 4096 characters to play with, so about 2k levels (unless we compile our own linux kernel with PATH_MAX set for this very specific purpose). If we run CIFS we may be able to reach up to 16k levels.
That was my interpretation of OPs (admittedly bad) idea. Personally, I try to avoid implementing inodes as Church numerals.
With Unicode, you can.
Um … no thanks.
Thanks for reminding me to block this feature at work.
Planning on spending a months wages building a monster rig that runs Windows 11?
Cool. When it’s done just take whatever your CPU, GPU, RAM is and reduce the number by 50-75%. Have fun.

That’s a shame. Hopefully they add lossless someday.
I did the tidal ABX test, which I prefer since it’s comparing FLAC, and the difference is almost negligible. I do hear a slight difference >15k, and I can only year up to 18.5k, but on most tracks it’s not noticeable. Also slightly worse transients, but again, only noticable on a few tracks. I also can only hear any of this on HD600s with very, very high volume, which is not how I usually listen to music. I really like this test :)
Lossless is still nice to have though, mostly because I can then rip FLAC files to do good remasters, which is why I happily use tidal (also for a number of other reasons).
Cider also went from an open source project to a closed source project. I stopped using them after that.
The Cider Devs also seem like terrible people FYI
I know everyone likes Cider. But the devs are extremely homophobic, racist, Trump apologists, and deny that Covid was ever that major. Link in post. : r/AppleMusic - https://www.reddit.com/r/AppleMusic/comments/vydyj8/i_know_everyone_likes_cider_but_the_devs_are/
there’s no Linux client that supports lossless
Do you mean ALAC files? I downloaded a sample at https://getsamplefiles.com/sample-audio-files/alac and played it in VLC under Linux. There are several players that can play libavcodec FFmpeg.

I am not using Apple Music, but have you tried the Windows client via Proton? I used Amazon Music installed through Heroic Launcher in the past and it worked fine. Though I had to configure the audio to go above 48kHz.
I’m not the one you’re asking, but I’m in a similar situation. I’ve attemped to get this working and the problem is that their Windows client must be downloaded and installed through the Microsoft Store and it’s packaged in a way you can’t run in standalone after extracting it. Some apps published through the MS Store do work fine this way, but I could not get it working for the Apple Music client.
Apple Music does have a web player, but it is also limited to lossy streaming like alternative clients like Cider is.
Ah, I see, that’s a shame. Amazon had/has an alternative installer. I am trying Tidal now, which has several Linux apps that provide full quality, though even the browser version goes up to 16bit/44.1kHz I think.
Do you mean lossless audio in general or specifically Apple Music?
I’ve definitely listened to flac files on Linux but a lot of the finer points of high quality audio are lost on me so my input may not be useful.
Hey there! What I do on Linux is use the Thorium browser to make the Apple Music an app in the OS. It works really well, but does have some weird visual glitches every now and then. I chalk that up to me having an NVIDIA GPU and using Wayland though, so it could work better for you!
As for lossless, I am not sure on that as I don’t have ears that can tell the difference so it has never been something I focused on!
Listen to music on phone? 🤔
how do I do A?
do B instead
It’s a suggestion
Had me in the first half.
I’ve got an old Mac I’ve managed to get running Sequoia but due to Apple dropping support for Intel, it’s running on borrowed time.

Many people need to use computers and Windows for 8 hours a day, every working day + AI shoved into personal apps. I wouldn’t expect even the world’s best escort to be giving head continuously for 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week.
I am a system admin and decided to just use Windows Server on my desktop to avoid the bullshit Windows 11 changes
Server has its own set of problems but at least the tools to deal with them are prepackaged
Why not use LTSC instead? It shouldn’t include many of these changes it has done or will do. I know since windows 10 the separation between workstation and server has deepened and I believe app compatability is less due to it. I even remember a few apps I wanted to install on server wouldnt let me unless I buy a business license because it detected I was using server and assumed I was a business because of the OS.
I’m working in server all day anyway. Licences are not a issue with most desktop software that we use. We have almost unlimited access to the Microsoft catalog with a combination of our subscriptions. As a system administrator doing what I do, it’s not much different from ltsc except I have to use a couple of local group policies so I’m not badgered by system prompts
