notepad has formatting now? o_O
does it produce markdown or something?
not just local files
if you click a link to file:///123.45.67.89:69420/files-download/virus.exe it will download and run virus.exe
it still works, but now there is a “Dangerous Link Location: This is not a web link and may lead to the execution of malicious code” warning, but previously it would silently run the file.
kinda wild a file-link ever went straight to executing it after download - which on it’s own could be dangerous as well.
I guess the “the s in IOT stands for security” also applies to notepad: “the s in vibecoding stands for security”
If you use the formatting bar to format text, it unlocks the View→Markdown menu which has two options - Markdown or Syntax. This allows you to toggle seeing the source or formatted markdown.
If you do not use the formatting bar to format text, markdown is not enabled. I manually typed in text in markdown format and the menu didn’t un-grey.
You can go into the app settings and turn off formatting, which will hide the formatting toolbar.
I think you really have to work hard to be offended by this.
