    I would still be using Windows 7 if it was safe to connect to the internet.

    I can’t believe government systems are just open to cyber security like that.

    Are there not cyber terrorists for some teenager that has tried to do anything with these unsecured systems?

      Just slap some bit defender on it. That’s all that we have to do with windows 10 and we’re all good to go. Hey if Linux can run on the same box for all these years and be safe theres no reason why any windows system can’t be safe with a simple add on.

      Windows 11 is just a tmp chip added to board

      Srsly that is all. Something smaller than a thumb drive changed and they are trying to convince the world to make more waste. It’s fucking stupid. Microsoft can eat fat ass.

      Why would Windows 7 not be “safe” to connect to the internet? Do you understand how any of this works?

        No, and that is saddly the standard these days. Its all just bullshit sales tatics and a weird take on what risks are and are not involved with legacy tech.
