It’s like Microsoft is advertising for Linux at this point, lol.
“KB5094126 patched 208 security vulnerabilities on June 9, but the update has triggered Recycle Bin display glitches, BitLocker lockouts on enterprise hardware, OneDrive failures, and system freezes, with the first fix not expected until July 14.”
A question I have always have is you can’t copyright AI gen code. Does that mean Windows will eventually be no longer copyrighted by MicroSlop
I am not surprised in the slightest.
On a little tangent: my work laptop recently updated and the entire thing was going swimmingly (well aside from the fact Windows needs to restart 3 times in order to “Update and Shutdown” but eh) up until it got to 100%. The time it took to get from 0% to 100% was less than from 100% to actually finishing. I had enough time to hypothesize they let AI change something in the update process and one condition was to not increase how long it took to “complete” the update, ie get to 100%.
Vibecode the whole OS and boast about how many bugs your AI fixed. This is not a bubble folks.
This is my shocked face.
Honest.
This is why I run Linux.
As a longtime Linux-only user, I love how M$ is driving people over to a new OS. But, with increased publicity and adoption makes it a growing target for hackers.
I actually would prefer windows people stay on windows…becuase I don’t want my favorite operating system dumbed down…
I too am afraid the Arch BTW© company will worsen when user base increases
Odds are, like most things on Linux, there will be an option for a dumbed down distro or a reasonable one. Things like Ubuntu, grasping for mass appeal, will get dumber. Arch, for example, likely won’t.
We can send them off to ZorinOS as their first diatro. It’s like Linux on training wheels lol
My middle son, who is non-technical but anti-microsoft, runs Fedora 44 (same as I do actually)
He actually really prefers it… :)
One second, let me restart Windows for updates then I can respond. Lol!
You might be able to. You might not. At this point, 50/50 chance. ;-)
I see they let AI at their codebase.
so has every other major OS fwiw, including linux and two of the big BSDs
i fucking hate the future
But not TempleOS.
Any proof of these OSS OSes accepting vibe-coded patches?
both openbsd and freebsd have had slop commited to them, altho not many
linux is by far the worst as it has, to date, 1086 slop commits
Are you saying that anything AI touches is slop or that they are actually merging slop commits?
Windows has become an early 2000’s webpage. Filled with ads, quiet installs, and nagging deceptive pop-ups.
Hey real quick, you want to make edge your default browser and talk to Cortana?..
“You have clicked no. Microsft Edge is your new default browser! How can I help you more with the microsoft experience?” - Cortana.
Reminds me of that tweet:
"Does microsoft understand concent?
- yes
- Ask me again later"
I think I’m glad that microslop didn’t go with Cortana as their dumb LLM name.
Not that there were any good back when Cortana was the Pc AsSiStAnT for Windows, to be clear.
I still love the older Windows like Windows XP way better. It really didn’t do any of that shit. You just needed a pop up blocker.
7 was it for me. That XP start up sound and bliss hits me in the nostalgia.
just replace the old ‘punch the monkey’ with certain other faces…
and you’d get clicks like crazy.
Microsoft confirmed the issue on June 18 and said a fix would not arrive until July 14. The company attributed the bug to a security hardening change that closed a 23-year-old unchecked-buffer vulnerability in the Windows Shell’s desktop.ini processor.
Inspiring confidence!
lol
I’m confused by that last sentence. Does mean that the bug stems from patching a 23-year old vulnerability, or that the bug is because of a patch made to fix the vulnerability 23 years ago?
The vulnerability existed for 23 years, was recently discovered and patched and that patch introduced a new bug
Thank you!
May I let you all know about windows update blocker?
It buys you time til you get your machine switched over to Linux without being at the mercy of a forced update potentially bricking it first
There are still telemetries that send back data. You also have to turn most of those off, but there are required ones that you can’t turn off.
Nothing AI can’t fix.

don’tyou can’t fix it!” -Copilot
