Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

    So even if it does ship like this guy thinks it will, it will take someone gaining control of the computer and having the victim click show password at the wrong time.

    The end is nigh.

          How does any virus run itself? Are you seriously this dense?

          Hint: there are many attack vectors, including no-click drive-by downloads, programs from Softonic, etc.

          EDIT: Does this person seriously believe that because Microsoft made it, it must be secure, despite that literally having just been proven wrong? And that pointing that out means I need to be smarter than everyone at MS? That explains the delusional argument they’re going with.

            Damn you are so stupid. But it’s normal for stupid people to think they are smart.

            Smarter guy here on lemmy calling other people names than all the people at Microsoft.

            I’m done here. Bye.
