They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.

This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.

Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore? 😭

Windows a déjà un problème de sécurité À CAUSE des popups ("popup fatigue" qui fait que les utilisateurs cliquent désormais aveuglément sur les popups de confirmation, par exemple l'UAC).
La solution de Microsoft ?
ENCORE PLUS DE POPUPS! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Microsoft is rolling out new Secure Boot certificates to supported PCs through Windows Update, replacing the certificates that were first released in 2011. If you're running Windows 11 or Windows 10 and paying for ESU, this should be an automatic update. If not, then you may not get some future boot-level security updates. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2026/02/10/refreshing-the-root-of-trust-industry-collaboration-on-secure-boot-certificate-updates/ #SecureBoot #Windows #Microsoft #Security

Attention, votre imprimante pourrait bientôt ne plus fonctionner à cause de Windows 11 !

" #Microsoft a annoncé la fin du support pour les anciens pilotes d'imprimantes V3 et V4 sur #Windows11 à partir de 2026. Cette décision, motivée par des impératifs de sécurité, risque de rendre de nombreux périphériques, notamment ceux de plus de cinq ans, totalement inutilisables, forçant particuliers et entreprises à remplacer leur matériel encore fonctionnel"

Après les ordinateurs, ce sont les #imprimantes que Microsoft veut envoyer à la décharge ...

Alors, à nous d'envoyer #Windows à la décharge maintenant !

In January 2022 I wrote this article on Crypto. The point was to explain why we have taken a stand against it. For me that stand was really taken 10 years earlier, as friends wanted me to become involved. At the time I read what I could find and concluded that this was all a scam. My opinion has not changed. Over the years it has become clearer for most that it is a scam that not only increases risk for the economy as a whole, increases global warming and electricity prices, it is even being used to undermine our democracy.
