How can you realistically get hacked from using an outdated OS if you're behind a firewall?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?
>>107723003the people who claim this all used limewire or napster to download mp3's that were actually executables and cucked themselves.
everyone is behind NAT or CGNAT, it's the first thing that anyone works around. it's important that your system is secure because CGNAT and NAT are not designed to protect you, that isn't what they were even designed for.
Setup your router not to respond to pings. That's half the battle right there.
>>107728095I connect directly to the modem and the modem directly to the internet. None of that nat stuff exists over here due to dying retiree boomer town not caring enough to upgrade from late 90's adsl, so I secure my shit with Sygate.
>>107728095>this thing that functions exactly like a firewall isn't actually a firewall because erm... well, it just wasn't made for that, okay?
I wish I built a computer in 2019. I'd be happy with a 2070 today, and I could make it last. I think I'm going to be stuck on my toaster for the rest of my life at this rate.

This is how much they ask for a shitty 2TB SMR drive, fucking insane, I remember buying 8TB for 180 euros literally some months ago.
My rig is coming up on 10 years soon/in 2027I'll ride that fucker into the 2030s for sure. Even have vidya left to play on it but i've stopped caring about vidya when the trannies took over western gayming studios

Any recommendations for buying pc mouses?My only requirement is them having more than 5 buttons and mouse itself made for big hands.Preferably not utralite stuff or its derivatives

Finally moving on from my iPhone SE 1st gen. Going Android. Are there any decent phones out there that aren't FUCKING HUGE? i.e. 5" or less.
>>107724825They got an extra inch for the screen by taking the bezels out so older phones might not be physically that much smaller. I had the first generation Galaxy Note which had a 5.3" screen, my current phone Pixel 9a is a little bit taller but actually not as wide and it still has a 6.3" screen. It's not an inch larger device physically than the Note. So also check the physical dimensions to see where your limit is.
>>107724825Impotent handlet rage
Basically no options. Bezels are dead and everything is 6" or more. If you do nothing on your phone, S6 or S7 are still perfectly fine on Nougat and Oreo but Samsung phones lose VoLTE on custom ROMs so that might be a problem for you if you wanted to flash a newer Android version. XZ2 compact is a decent choice as well.
>>107727845There's also the s10e, Pixel 3/3a, and 4a. All quite small with the Pixels having good Lineage support
>>107724825>Finally moving on from my iPhone SE 1st gen.13 mini is the smallest thing still getting updates>Going Android.nvm, you're fucked

Why is C++ so hated?
>>107711740Rust tranny DEI hires want to fagify software around the world
As a C++ programmer, I see no issues other than the minor detail which is backwards compatibility with C.You cannot name one single C++ feature that is shit by itself, it's only shit because C exists.So whenever some retarded cnile starts yapping about C++, remind him of that fact.
>>107726540I never read any of Bjarne's books and I am a better C++ programmer than you.
>>107724432Because computer programs don't have free will and are bound by the wills of humans.Are you also the kind of retarded nigger who cannot help dereferencing a nullptr?
>>107711740Nah but really why is the fucking bar making as much shitty slop as possible and not providing simple solutions? Surely this is out of context or something..
