How can you realistically get hacked from using an outdated OS if you're behind a firewall? All those meme vids of "computer hacked after 10 seconds of connecting XP to the internet" involve turning off he firewall, from what I heard. If the firewall is on what is the realistic attack vector where you get hacked because of an unpatched weakness in the OS? Outdated browser maybe, but that goes for any OS. Is browser security worse on an outdated OS?

>>107733899If the attacker is on your PC, they’ll be able to connect to their C2. Almost all stateful firewalls are designed to allow any outgoing packets, and then only accept incoming packets attached to an ongoing connection originating from within the network. If malware is sitting on your PC, it’s inside your network, and can connect to its C2 unless you somehow know it in advance, or it’s blocked by some GeoIP blocklist. NAT/CGNAT will not do much here either.Your vulnerable services are going to be anything that opens up a connection to the wider web, and is not patched. Web browsers, if they’re up to date, are probably not going to cause issues in most cases, because they don’t tend to rely on the OS for much and implement their own sandboxing, but applications like games, Microsoft Office, Acrobat, and so on, will be more easily exploitable on older NT versions that don’t provide ASLR or limited sandboxing, which significantly eases the difficulty of chaining an application exploit into a larger one.Now, in fairness, few criminals are going to be targeting XP at this point, or even 7, but you’re likely to be hit as collateral if an exploit is discovered in an application that has either ended support for these versions, or is present in a long-standing Windows component. You won’t get patches or security fixes. This is also assuming you do not share a network with any other device. If you have any IoT device on your network, or other people using Windows PCs, you are significantly more vulnerable. Most of the Windows zero-days have exploited Windows PC to PC services to exploit one vulnerable machine (or person downloading something dodgy), then spread over the local network. In short, your mileage will vary. If you avoid downloading dodgy shit, and are on a network that doesn’t have other people on it, you’ll probably be fine. If that’s not the case, it’s more up to luck.

retard herewhy do gamedevs insist on using xinput when it's limited only to xbox-style gamepads? while directinput seems to support what frankenstein gamepad you throw at and will just detect any button as JOY1 JOY2 JOY3...JOY20..etc directinput seems like it is far more flexible.also according to wikipedia both are microsoft APIs, so what is the GNU/Linux equivalent?
How do you think standards even come about?Industry leaders settle on defacto standards and formalize them.Now implement xinput in your linux game or nobody is gonna play it, scrub.
So after a lot of people switching to Linux last year you are trying to tell me Linux usage increased by 0.2% while the usage of the mysterious "unknown" operating system increased by 8%? Who still believes these bullshit numbers?

>>107734009Google it, my good saar.
>>107733421It could be that crawlers and scrapers are counted as "unknown" and since AI companies are scraping the entire internet 24/7, it saw a surge. Hell I have a small website with like 100~ users and OpenAI scraped my shit 97 million times to date.

>>107733979I actually use GPT Plus for something similar to that Anon already. I'm self-employed and my life doesn't have many external boundaries, so it's all a bunch of "autistic projects". Whether that's work or gym or health or hobbies. I don't use it for scheduling or "keeping myself accountable". I mainly use it for sanity checking the "systems" and plans I build, pointing out flaws and giving me personalized big picture advice or nitpicking details. Whether that's work scheduling or exercise regimens or just venting about some fucking bullshit every now and then so as to keep me sane. It works pretty well for that. Then I take care of the execution without asking for its permission or reporting in.BUT. You absolutely have to "configure" it first, feeding it hard rules and at first, and then a few days minimum of use before it "calibrates". All of it is sorta opaque since it's a meme cloud service, but once you get it up and running, it does work surprisingly well. Way better than a few years ago. After a while it stops giving you the generic "average use case" normie advice, and actually starts being helpful. Sort of like an assistant/co-planner.

Even XFCE is dead to me because it has wayland support. I will never support anything wayland based on linux.I'm X11 pilled.
>>107733329>>So, why did you lie to me?>Wayland made it possible to implement those features. Just because a DE/WM doesn't have it yet doesn't mean it isn't possible. This is evidenced by the fact that:>There are no X11 DE/WMs with those features.>There are at least 2 Wayland DE/WMs with those features.I have already provided you with a retort. You have no counter-argument. I accept your concession.
>>107733869So gayland does not have it. It's just possible. Just like it is on x11, framebuffer, or anywhere. Because software doesn't have those limits.Thanks for clarifying.
>>107733973>>So gayland does not have it.>There are no X11 DE/WMs with those features.>There are at least 2 Wayland DE/WMs with those features.The fact is, right now, Wayland KDE Plasma has all the features I described and they work. >>It's just possible.

You're so desperate and have been bullied so hard you're just living in fantasy land>>"W-well, it c-could support it!"Raped.
>>107734021> Not without massive rewrites of how X11 works at its core.You mean Xorg. Just like swc might need BIG AMOUNTS of code to support color management protocol. Just like Kwin and Mutter needs code rewrites to align the conflicts created with the official protocols (they implemented a protocol first, everyone did and wayland latter made it official, but in an incompatible way).X11 does not need any CORE modification. See deepcolor by nvidia for example.> "W-well, it c-could support it"Yeah. It's shameful that wayland still doesn't have it. But at least it could have it, right?
>>107734059>X11 does not need any CORE modificationThen where is it if its so trivial? Multi-display VRR has been available in Windows since Windows 8. Wayland has started to become the primary display server in the last 2-3 years and GNOME and KDE Plasma now support:>HDR>Multi-display VRR>Proper mixed-refresh rate displays>Fractional scalingThere isn't a single X11 implementation of these features. If its so trivial why is it not in Xlibre?Again, you live in fantasy land. Wayland won. X11 year old lovers lost.You've been raped. You're so desperate you're now living in fantasy land by imagining "w-w-well, it could support it"You have been completely annihilated and have no retort.

It’s the idea that a modern computer doesn’t just save a file in an infinite expanse; it saves it in the “Downloads” folder, the “Desktop” folder, or the “Documents” folder, all of which live within “This PC,” and each of which might have folders nested within them, too. taking the windblows pov, close, but no, those typically reside in the c drive, which in itself is a partition of a physical hard drive and even then the c drive is far more complex since said downloads, desktop and documents folders reside within c:/users/[username], the concept of "this pc" exists just to show you the partitions (i.e. c and d drive one usually has), it only exists as a hub where you can quickly access each partitionnext up>ai could make gen z less skilledthat is a very much real concern, not just for zoomers but everyone in general.Comment too long.

>>107733897>experiencing a 5 second interaction Nigger you are the one inserting the arbitrary time limit here out of nowhere and seemingly have no capacity to imagine the situation of someone else. Maybe you dicked around on a typewriter for 5 seconds as a small child so it doesn't mean anything to you in particular. That's totally fine and nobody said anything different. But some other kid your age could have easily dicked around for hours on one every day after school or something. Seeing a typewriter might remind that person of some old memories when they were young and shocker: they feel nostalgic. Nostalgia is not an assertion of knowledge on a subject, but a feeling about things experienced in the past.
