why is nobody talking about a fake image? hmm

If I was Microsoft o wouldn't let you run xvid as well are you living in 2010?

It’s an obvious fake

Fuck, this worries me. Looks like my upcoming next PC build will exclude an OS and opt for a Linux distribution.

Is Microsoft Pluton related to Google Ultron?

not very surprising tbh, Microsoft is exactly who I’d expect to do something like this. if you need to use windows on the machine you pirate stuff on just create a new user and disable smartscreen/defender on that account. i do agree though that this should get some more traction, more people use windows than id like to admit

There is gonna be easy fix for this in one second

We should all take a moment to consider this attempt by Microsoft to force AMD and Intel to integrate 'chip to cloud' nonsense.

There. Now realize how hard we will all shit on either company if they actually implement it.

Try to open it with another media player, like VLC

I was your typical on-the-fence guy for years, installing Linux a couple of times a year, hopping between distros but eventually always returned to Windows. Those days are over for good. I learned to understand packages, dependencies and the basic tools to be able to understand and execute most troubleshooting. Still on an Apple laptop but once they pull similar shit with their telemetry that’s it.

Because they haven't deployed it yet

I'm not talking about it because I use an OS that treats me as its owner rather than as someone it's doing a huge favor to just by letting me log in.

This usually happens when you try to launch a program which MS can't verify it's signature or suspect it's a malware, never seen that happens with a media file and for a such idiot reason...!!
