So once again we have someone who doesn't actually use (modern) Windows making false statements about how it functions, upvoted to the moon because Microsoft bad. They are, but this is embarassing.

Never change lemmy.

ive actuakly used win10 alot tho. at school. the pcs run that (and i often have to do the troubleshooting because the rest of the class doesnt know shit abt pcs)

not saying i knw a lot, but at least i know something, unlike everyone else my age (im 14, born in the age of locked down devices trying to get you to bc tech illiterate, of the artificial stupidity hype and of tiktok cringe. instead i used things like dos, older windows versions and linux (still use mobile phones for like calls and stuff tho) and never (intentionally) went to the cringe and ai stuff either (even though its still shoved up my face whether i like it or not))

edit: and all nested parens are matched too :)

My guy, I'm a grown ass adult that does sysadmin work for a living in a full Windows/Microsoft environment. Just stop. You're wrong about how Windows works.

Your meme is simply not how Windows works, unless you intentionally choose to disable the security feature of UAC while leaving Windows Defender on. At that point you've accepted the risk that you could do something to break your shit.

You turned off warnings for all the shit you say Windows sleeps through, but left Windows Defender on which keeps the exe warnings. The only way to get Windows to work the way in this meme is if you configure it in this non-standard way.

Your willingness to poke around with computers will serve you well, especially in the modern age as people are less willing to do that, but don't assume you know everything just because you know more than the people around you day to day.
