  • Based on your descriptions of the integration between Windows 96 and Office, I did get the feeling you might run into even more issues if more software wasn't installed alongside Windows as well.

    I'm all Mac and Virtual Box doesn't run on M-series hardware.

    I had no idea!

    And hopefully my comment didn't come across as a dig against your article - it just promises to be a potentially fascinating follow-up. Especially when, even today, Windows Explorer feels like it added previews of files as little more than an afterthought (and occasionally as a PowerToy).

    BTW I enjoyed 100% of your article, I think it's a good sign when it leaves the reader wanting more!

  • This is a very good article, but this part peeved me on a petty level (as well as explaining why there's precious little in the way of screenshots):

    While I can't find any uploads that are set to run on their website in a virtual computing session, the files are available to download if you felt like spinning up a piece of computing history.

    The opportunity to do a little investigative journalism is right there, and the blog author didn't take it

  • I don't trust the Trump administration's agenda, and I certainly don't trust a website you posted that encourages you to get 5G blockers to protect you from the "globalists."

    You don't even need to double down on that site, which appears to be run by Mike Adams, an Alex Jones buddy who out-grifts Jones with snake oil sales. You could just admit you accept any source that says China is bad, tegardless of quality, and apologize and delete it.

    (If I didn't know better, I'd say you were a tankie yourself... doing your best strawman of what tankies complain about. Between the far right conspiracy sites, the bad sources, and the straight-up US government stuff...)

  • I hate to be this guy

    Then don't be. I'm not sure why you feel the need to glaze the world's richest political agent, unless...

    Are you a SpaceX employee? You've said this in the past.

    Most people at SpaceX genuinely love the mission and will work longer hours because it's almost a passion.

    We're pretty well-compensated too.

  • Your article cites the Trump administration (which clears your bar for what constitutes state propaganda) and additionally when we compare it to their own review for ChatGPT:

    PCMag describes DeepSeek data collection as "fairly standard for chatbot data collection," but then claims "other serious privacy concerns" before linking that [Trump admin] report.

    Meanwhile "OpenAI collects a significant amount of data," it "was not forthcoming" with data breaches, and the author doesn't "recommend sharing anything too sensitive with ChatGPT."

    Strange DeepSeek gets the "not secure" label and ChatGPT does not.

  • OP is notorious for not giving a shit about privacy (and has posted conspiracy site spam before), and this article continues the trend. PCMag gives DeepSeek a 2/5 rating but Google Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT get 4/5 with no heading criticizing privacy.

    It gets worse: PCMag cites a Trump administration special committee report as evidence Deepseek isn't private. I could go on for a while about how both Google and OpenAI get special treatment from the US, but hopefully it's clear that they (like OP) only see danger stemming from the geographical location of the servers and not their actual harm.

  • So not only was the AI put front and center, it was also put in first?!

    I've looked at plenty of alpha software before, and I've seen plenty of incomplete features. I understand that one has to give an unfinished product leeway. But devs do not simply accidentally add a whole feature into an app. Or if this was somehow all a huge coincidental mistake, they made a massive PR blunder.

  • What is this article? Besides terrible, I mean. This article is terrible.

    First of all, this isn't a new leak. It's not even a combination of old leaks. It's just somebody noticing that a bunch of leaks existed and did an Excel Sum operation on the passwords on them.

    According to Vilius Petkauskas at Cybernews, whose researchers have been investigating the leakage since the start of the year, “30 exposed datasets containing from tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records each,” have been discovered. In total, Petkauskas has confirmed, the number of compromised records has now hit 16 billion. Let that sink in for a bit.

    And to add insult to injury, the article has this gem:

    Is This The GOAT When It Comes To Passwords Leaking?

    Password compromise is no joke.

    Certainly not with writing like this.
