  • Movies and audio are very rarely infected, almost never. That depends on bugged software, so that you can be relatively safe of.

    Executables… well… no anti virus can protect you in reality from dumb double-clicks. This is because viruses are trained against anti virus software until they can’t be recognized. There are mathematically an infinite number of patterns to run a program to trick all kinds of anti viruses. So in reality you can’t be safe. Once that’s done by an expert virus creator, the best you have to protect you is a behavioral detection of viruses, which may or may not work.

    So, don’t rely on anti viruses. They barely protect you from script kiddies and legacy viruses.




  • While I’m not intending to offend people, I have to state that the majority of people with loud voices on social media are leftist, for many reasons including that being a typical leftist that buys the narrative (regardless which one, make your pick) requires a certain level of ignroance that approaches being an average human being with minimal critical thinking. That’s most people, because leftist ideas are shallow and sound good to people with simplistic views of the world. Besides, most leftists are jobless and/or teenagers who have nothing better to do. People like me who have anti-establishment views usually have jobs and are productive, hence not only have less time to argue, but are literally “too old for this sh*t”. There was a time when I argued a lot. Now I just say a few sentences and then I’m like… “whatever”, especially when I get robotic answers.


  • The Linux community doesn’t understand what “just works” really means.

    Whether windows or mac, I plug my machine to the docking station, and it just works.

    With Linux, every day a different problem. Out of the blue, screens just stop working. Resolutions change. Every restart different behavior. Zero consistency.

    I’m not 17 anymore… I don’t have the time to keep tweaking. I need to be productive.

    So what do I do? I SSH to a Linux machine whose desktop environment I don’t wanna see, and code remotely. Most productive setting.

    You asked. Here’s the answer.
