<Twinaphex> what a loser this guy is
<Twinaphex> scaremongering over XP botnets - when the NSA and CIA make rootkits in cooperation with Apple and Google
<Twinaphex> and MS
<Twinaphex> that fall in the hands of scriptkiddies
<Twinaphex> dude - if you want security
<Twinaphex> Windows is not the place to be
<Twinaphex> period
<Twinaphex> neither is macOS
<Twinaphex> your ‘Windows 10 box’ is almost as secure as an XP box - i.e. none
<Twinaphex> a false sense of security is not security
<Twinaphex> maybe this is why we should stop having proprietary OSes perhaps - then maybe people would figure out if/when we are getting a rootkit/backdoor installed into our OS
<Twinaphex> food for thought there
<Twinaphex> when a private corporation has a closed source OS - any government agency can ask them to build in a backdoor, they wil lhave to comply under the Patriot Act and that’s the end of that
<Twinaphex> and you will never know about it as a consumer
<Twinaphex> until after word gets out or it leaks
<Twinaphex> you can still install similar stuff in Linux of course or get it pushed through in repos
<Juan> You got hung up on a reddit comment, not good for your health
<Twinaphex> but it’s at least harder
<Twinaphex> nah - this dude seems to do some buildbot stuff for standalone emus
<Twinaphex> I just think the whole pathetic scaremongering by these guys is hilarious
<Twinaphex> I don’t even use XP as is
<Juan> Sure
<Twinaphex> but this stuff is just pathetic
<Juan> Let him have it
<Twinaphex> Windows in and of itself is not secure
<Twinaphex> so why get hung up on ‘security'?
<Twinaphex> 10 is a botnet in and of itself
<Juan> Because it's a comment on reddit
<Twinaphex> you don’t even need XP to have a botnet
<Juan> These thins never seem to go anywhere productive
<Juan> * things
<Twinaphex> I am running Windows 10 right now on a PC
<Twinaphex> but I understand it’s a toy
<Twinaphex> it’s merely for gaming and maybe some small coding and that is it
<Twinaphex> but you couldn’t entrust this to real server duties
<Twinaphex> not with MS phoning home and all this stuff anyway
<Twinaphex> or MS supplying rootkits to the NSA/CIA which then get compromised
<Twinaphex> and all of a sudden everybody and their dog can hijack your system
<Twinaphex> yeah no thanks
<Juan> Governments sure shouldn't
<Twinaphex> I know who the real enemy is then
<Twinaphex> and the real enemy appears to be the same company providing me the OS
<Twinaphex> by acquiescing to this
<Twinaphex> and cooperating
<Twinaphex> BTW
<Twinaphex> if he is concerned about botnets
<Twinaphex> then why load up your mobile apps with it for moniez?
<Twinaphex> because I am pretty sure I am one of the few who actually rejects stuff like Luminati SDK
<Twinaphex> can’t say that for too many of these guys pushing their emulator wares on these 'stores'
<Twinaphex> hypocrites
<Twinaphex> they turn every phone out there into a botnet
<Juan> It's sunny outside and I have the day off, time for a walk
<Juan> :D
