CVE-2019-0708 seems to be a rather serious RDP vulnerability disclosed today. It has the potential to become another WannaCry like outbreak.

I guess a few people are still using Server 2008 R2 on servers, or Windows 7 on PC. Don't forget to update!

    This comes across that you're not smart enough to use Windows when every other pleb can.

    So, Windows is the only OS or component in the IT industry that faces vulnerabilities. That's why your argument on dumb people that still using it...

    Linux flavors do have their own share of security issues.
    Major routers do have their own share of security issues.
    Proccessors do have their own share of security issues.
    Other software does have it own share of security issues.
    Browsers do have their own share of security issues.

    So, why only Windows/MS are shit and not all others?

    I'll tell you why: they rebooted my computer halfway through a competitive Overwatch match.

    hahaha, I'm totally with you!
    On a more serious note, all latest MS products, including those that hey bought recently, are going this awful route of constant and surprise updates... As you may all know, skype is quite common on live television, when more professional products like LiveU or Mobile Viewpoint are not available... Skype has recently created Skype for Broadcast, a GUI environment as a software for receiving multiple skype connections for news gathering in Broadcast Television.
    A common frustration to all of us is the surprising updates that, oh my, are going on automatically even when the system is on a live broadcast...
    Corporate practices with monopoly, closed apps etc.

    So MacOS is better because you can't play games on it? Or Windows is somehow bad because you don't have it set to install updates when you shut down, or keep ignoring them until it decides to finally restart for you?

    Idk why this thread devolved into a "omg I h8 windows upd8" but I've never had Windows 10 reboot on me; I actually had to manually run an update assistant to update a couple years ago. I even have a desktop (that's regularly used by multiple users) still on 1803 (April 2018 update).

  • Seems to be legacy all those systems, or are ppl still using those versions?

  • jsgjsg Member, Resident Benchmarker

    I'm worried. Do I need to update my OS/2?

    Bite the bullet and move to OS/3 already.
