“If you ask me, Microsoft has been one of the biggest driving forces behind Linux adoption in recent years. The way they’ve been handling Windows, with its forced updates, aggressive telemetry, and questionable AI features, has sent more people to Linux than any marketing campaign ever could. And they are at it again with a new AI feature that could be tricked into installing malware on your system. … Microsoft admits that features like Copilot Actions introduce “novel security risks.” They warn about cross-prompt injection (XPIA), where malicious content in documents or UI elements can override the AI’s instructions. …”

X: It’s too late for that, it’s not new anymore.
Y: You don’t suggest…

A few weeks ago: Windows 10 will stop getting security updates! If you want to maintain a secure system, you must update to 11!
or switch operating system.
Which is what I did, I was just pointing out the rhetoric and fearmongering turning into lies.
I trust the 3rd party malware more than the 1st party. At least you know they’ll keep your info secure if they steal from you. 🤣
Objectively hilarious.
