Reading the article, it’s so many conditions to be uninstallable I fear even Bill Gates himself couldn’t.

On the question: throw a dice and hope you don’t piss off too many people :v

Why handle files? Let big bro Microsoft handle them for you.

I reinstall mine around 2 times a year, partly habit, partly some time I accidentally fuck up. Not counting the time to download the installation media, and though I become faster at setting things as I like each time, best I do is still some 2 hours. For someone not used to the environment or even just starting, I’d easily expect it to be much longer.

This appears to be the whole article:

Checked the user’s account. In lack of more info, it looks suspicious, as it only has a handful of posts, all article links, and no comments to show it’s an actual human. Perhaps it is a bot grinding trust more slowly, to not be burned too quickly. Or maybe it’s just an user that seldom logs in here.

And borrowing this comment to opinate on the article itself, it still sounds relevant as the technologies the article’s OP proposes only got more powerful. Bet now we can even use LLMs to do that, no coding or research needed on the attacker’s side.

Surprised it took so long.
