@nixCraft ah yes I love it when they forget the "P" in VPN

I'll add another one: Antivirus on Windows other than Defender. Any article or research that claims otherwise is funded by third party antivirus vendors

@anthropy @nixCraft A friend of mine told me just that the other day. Has Defender really got that good? It’s been years since I’ve used Windows effectively for more than 5 minutes

@mrvideo @nixCraft Microsoft has a reputation to keep up, Windows Defender did definitely get a lot better compared to the Windows 7 era, and the detection statistics show it's basically identical or better compared to other tools.

I also don't really use Windows though, which I can also much recommend as the best security measure one could take; Windows has many issues, some it refuses to fix (just google "PrintNightmare"), Linux is simply a lot more secure by design :)

@anthropy @mrvideo @nixCraft properly configured Windows Security nowadays is at the point that's easier to compromise Linux repository than bothering with attempts to infect the endpoint 😅 it's wild knowing how good Windows Defender ATP has become, especially in corporate environment
