Linux is love...

Do you have another cigarette for me? Because I use Windows 10. And I don't care about that attack.

@MCCshreyas 🚬 Here you go...

@MCCshreyas I don't smoke can I have a coffee? we're also enjoying watch people that use an old version of Windows or disable updates, from our always up to date Windows machines

@dontbeevil also I don't smoke. I just replied in that way the pic is shown. I am student and love coffee with code. 😉😇

@dontbeevil That's coool. I like this kind of people. Who are always up to date.

@dontbeevil @MCCshreyas ☕ here you go... 🍪🍿🍮🍔🍟🍩🍰 for rest of the people...

let them cry ...... linux FTW as always !!! =)

Linux user here..... and there goes all my save data on my gaming PC :/

Oh wait, steam cloud FTW

And here to me starting to use chromiumOS on one of my school laptops 2 weeks before this shit started

@gdb123 Windows Update FTW

Yeah. I am the only like us user in the company and I still cry. I have to.patch all windows PC's.

@zshulu JZ much?

@Twelia I wouldn't know, maybe they did catch it on campus

@zshulu yeah with people like CF and their knowledge of security

let the babies cry, real men uses unix/linux as OS. =)

@gdb123 yawn

I am also a windows 7 user(attack rate: -95%) but I was not attacked why? Because I am not fool like other dumbass windows user(for example- those who ask programmer to install windows ).I got a infected file through email but ignored it.

@Nayan also if you have windows updated you didn't have to worry for the malware spreading trough samba (the vulnerability there is/was also on samba on linux)

@dontbeevil disabling Windows Update on 10 isn't a thing anymore. You can only set your "active hours" so it doesn't update while you're working -- and "active hours" can only be an 8-hour time span.

@JSn1nj4 i know, also in creators update they extended the active hours to 16 (?) hours...qnd in fall update you'll can also pause non security updates

@dontbeevil they extended it? As much as I like that, I don't know whether to feel like throwing a party or punching them in the face.

Maybe a party where we all punch them in the face?

Also, I now realize I'm saying this to someone with the username "don't be evil".

@JSn1nj4 yes i double checked:
1- in creators update they extended the active hours to 18 hours
2- if you switch off the pc at least once per week and let him install the updates, specially the security ones, you don't have to worry about updates starting in the middle of your work

@JSn1nj4 and like it or not, but if win7 updates worked like 10, we had no people infected with wannacry

@dontbeevil But that's in hindsight. Have you had Windows 10 force all of your software to close in the middle of working, before "Active Hours" was introduced?

@dontbeevil And when I say that, I'm also saying that "Active Hours" was a breath of fresh air compared to having your computer forcibly shutdown for updates.

One of those earlier updates also put my laptop into a perpetual state of rebooting, and the most recent Creator Update made me have to reinstall sound driver (it was gone) and put some of my default programs and color profile settings back in order.

So I hope you'll understand my frustration with Windows Update, even if a more recent one did fix what WannaCry would've otherwise exploited.

@JSn1nj4 I understand your rant, but as I have had always the habit to switch off the pc at the end of the day, and if there were any updates install it, i never experienced this problems

The only people I've seen run into it aren't really smart to begin with.

@JSn1nj4 don't worry the fall update is coming soon :/
Let's see what breaks this time

All WannaCry is is a free encryption service!
