>steam blocks windows 7

No response, huh?

>I gave a response to javascript concerns. The rest was literally fucking nothing.
You didn't post your firewall rules. You HAVE created your own firewall rules, right anon?

So you don't allow incoming or outgoing traffic? Smart.

>needs to read through every javascript app before running it
Lol no, just don't run it from shady sites.
>being afraid of piracy
>acting like you know anything about PCs
Pick one

What the fuck is an ad lmao, haven't seen that shit in decades.
Am I speaking with an actual tech illiterate zoomer?

Nice deflection, retard.
Still haven't seen shit like fucking adware in ages. Imagine being gatekept from piracy in 2023, where it's almost as easy as a Google search.

But I'm not updating Win7 anymore so it might as well not exist for my machine. Also yeah, I've heard that cope when I used XP too.

Cool but I'm not that guy. I never got ransomware outside of virtual machines where I went out my way to install it for fun.

If you mention these in relation to piracy in the first place, it's guaranteed to be a tech illiterate moron.

>can't run steam
>can't run javascript
you are sacrificing a lot to stick with you old globohomo operating system

Security isn't a binary problem. You post allow it on Ganker because you know it's trusted and shouldn't contain anything malicious. Of course you don't allow it on everything linked here.

Don't log in any site then, your account data could be compromised.

do you know what spyware does? Do you really know the mechanical difference between spyware, malware and adware? Are you really informed on computer warfare and the evinced practice of computer security? Have you ever written a worm? A kernel? A virus? Do you really know what a botnet is? Why a botnet would differ from a piece of spyware entirely? Do you think they're used by the same company which would package your installation of Windows? And if it were, do you think spyware would generally go around being unfixable to the general population of users amounting to 66 million users large?

Even if the platform has spyware, like your example states, you're arguing that it only effects people who use Windows.

I very easily could with a quick google search, but a moron like you isn't worth the effort. Continue using Windows 7 at your leisure.

>If it's so quick you would have done it already.
No I wouldn't have. I'm much happier to keep correctly labeling you a moron.
Do you really think anyone cares about you? You're just a boring, worthless little idiot.

Cope however you like, you're still a computer-illiterate moron at the end of the day, and will inevitably lose all your data to a ransomware attack one day. I'll be sure to laugh at your inevitable cry-for-help thread on Ganker.

No need to project your insecurities onto others, moron.

spyware is a part of life nowadays. even if you go full terry mode they still stick spyware in the hardware nowadays. even if you build your own cpu foundry the feds will still spy on you by tracking your banking. even if you live totally off the grid and don't trade or communicate with anyone they will spy on you with weather balloons. it's over

The retard you are replying to got BTFO already.

Also this. Windows 7 is far better than 10

10 was also made by cheap labour pajeets after microsoft did their huge layoff, firing tons of white people to make the company more "diverse and inclusive"

The only one coping is you here. Try arguing with facts for once.

And you didn't show anything to support that.
What? You thought saying shit happens behind the GUI is an argument? I know this is Ganker but not everyone is tech illiterate like you.

Let's see those telemetry packets with shit disabled on Windows 7 already.

I will be nice and assume you are not the same guy who was arguing with me, or it was bait all along.
The updates including additional telemetry are known and can be avoided/uninstalled, unlike the shit in Windows 10

You sure about that?

>my corporate daddy says it can be disabled because i clicked that shiny button so it's clearly disabled
zoomers are truly a consoomer cattle generation

Try reading the reply chain, it includes one screenshot of anon supposedly tracking packets.

>The updates including additional telemetry are known and can be avoided/uninstalled
Good job missing the point yet again you blithering idiot.
The fact that you're not installing important security updates means your system absolutely will have a wider attack surface, and very likely will be infected beyond repair with some kind of malware or even ransomware at some point.

But by all means, continue being an idiot at your leisure.

Install Common Sense 2023, if you are using Windows 7 surely you aren't expecting the same support as 10 and 11.

Fair point actually, but you get what I mean. Win7 does get ESU.

>Install Common Sense 2023
It doesn't work like that, idiot. Web Browsers are now far more complex than ever before and there are all kinds of new vulnerabilities popping up every single day. No amount of "common sense" will change the fact that you're a complete idiot using a massively outdated, deprecated operating system, with browser versions no longer being developed.

It works if your common sense is good enough.
The web browser argument is really the same as any piece of software, at some point you will need a KernelEx equivalent for Win7 or hope somebody will keep supporting it.

Or maybe I've got a better internal antivirus than yours. The only actual danger if you know what you are doing is remote exploits, but most of those can be dodged as well.

>but it's certainly better than 10.
it's not, they all have backdoors, which is the only thing that matters.

>which is the only thing that matters
That reduces your options to like Win2k and... that's it. Don't even bother with genuinely suggesting desktop linux.

If you're willing to use trash like Win7 you can manage Linux.

Install Windows 10, then.

Then why are you in this thread which is about whining that Windows 7 doesn't work fine?

Windows 10 has better compatible with up to date software than Windows 7. I am not sure DX12 even works on 7.

>Install Common Sense 2023
It doesn't work like that, idiot. Web Browsers are now far more complex than ever before and there are all kinds of new vulnerabilities popping up every single day. No amount of "common sense" will change the fact that you're a complete idiot using a massively outdated, deprecated operating system, with browser versions no longer being developed.

>im telling you that if you think windows 7 is some kinda ebin hacker privacy OS then you're a retard
I don't, but it's certainly better than 10.
> it's all the same garbage, either switch to linux or shut the fuck up.
Classic loonixchud generalization.

>i-it's not the same shit!! one has more spyware!
win7chuds actually believe this

>The updates including additional telemetry are known and can be avoided/uninstalled
Good job missing the point yet again you blithering idiot.

But by all means, continue being an idiot at your leisure.

How does that same logic not apply to privacy concerns?

Again, you don't understand anything about operating systems, the modern web, viruses, attack surfaces, nothing. You're just an idiot, so you're in no real position to offer a credible view on anything.

I'm not a big corporation and people attack me 24/7 all year around. Though it's obviously automated attacks not attacks that specifically target me. Sometimes reading the logs makes me feel a little bit paranoid.

It will never not be funny how the argument always ends up with
>you will get pwned by le scary ransomware!!

You're simply being treated as what you are: a complete moron.

It can be as funny as you like, just don't waste our time crying like a bitch when you inevitably lose all your shit.

You don't understand operating systems, web browsers, viruses or anything. You're just a small-brained idiot, mindlessly insisting Windows 7 is the best OS because... i-it just is! You're also stupid enough to believe you're not under any threat so long as you "use common sense", like using a deprecated OS is "common sense".

What can I say? I enjoy correctly labeling you an idiot. It's funny watching stupid people like you trip over yourselves attempting to rationalize using a 15 year old operating system.

>screaming
That's just your coping projection. I've only ever been calling you an idiot, which you are.

Claiming you're "laughing" is just another one of your coping mechanisms.
You're an idiot, and you're clearly annoyed at having lost the argument quite badly. Next time try not getting into debates about subjects you clearly do not understand well.

Winning? More like I won, quite conclusively too.
You never had a chance from the start because you were simply too stupid and computer-illiterate. Sorry buddy.

I didn't get hacked, neither did anyone else with Win7 here so you didn't win shit.

You can know if you aren't actually tech illiterate, you dunning-kruger retard.

>he thinks you can't log processes and packets
Jesus Christ, what an ignorant and obnoxious idiot.

By mentioning only using task manager you did nothing but expose yourself even further

Ever thought that the only reason you find Win7 so insecure is your own incompetence and falling for MS shilling?
I don't need to prove anything when I didn't get hacked, and I know how to check if my PC is sending data I don't want to send. Spoiler: not by using task manager

>:)
Mindbroken by anon using Win7

Ironing.

What is the fucking chance

Nah, I just find your coping hilarious. Stupid people like you never know when to quit, and you'll keep digging yourself deeper no matter what.

Samefag, also

Ironing.

>starts soijaking
Imagine being this mad about people using an older OS

>see if any of your packet viewers can find the running process.
This idiot doesn't check his network traffic, NGMI

>Embarrassing little idiot.
Why are you calling yourself out on what programs you use. You are the only one pointing out these programs. They told me larping was fun but damn you are really enjoying your self aren't you. Don't worry I'll be there for the threads when Win10 support ends and will still mock you for being a literal child when it comes to computers, and when you bring up the latest buzzwords and super scary hacker programs.

>and I know how to check if my PC is sending data
Actually you don't, you dumbshit. If you get infected with a virus and have your operating system compromised, it can very easily obfuscate traffic. Of course, you're stupid and in denial, so you'll never accept that idea.

I figured you out, you work in microsoft tech support so you have insecurities about having to fix retards computers for them. You don't need to project on us bro it's not our fault MS keeps your leash so tight, careful not to have a nice day with it!

Dude I have been playing with VMs before you were even born, even if I have no other use case than testing OS, software and weird hacky stuff like trying to setup multiboot with Windows 9x. The DK is real.

I'd say he's a little dumber than the average Win7 user

Is that where you found your little buzzwords to make you sound smarter? or did Prof. Ramdahar tell it to you to parrot out so you get a cracker?

>neither did anyone else with Win7 here so you didn't win shit.
Can confirm, I've been using the same build for almost ten years with the newest upgrade being a 1080Ti and have never had a problem.

>I didn't get hacked
You wouldn't actually know this, because you're tech-illiterate, idiot. A lot of malware executes passively in the background, and your outdated operating system will never know.

>A lot of malware executes passively in the background
Yeah and there are hundreds of ways to determine if it is running on your computer. If a human made it a human can unmake it, just get over your self and your spaghetti code "malware" you made to totally "pwn the n00bs" you fucking skiddy. Just because you stole some grandma's pension doesn't make you the super tech genius you think you are. Just go ahead and lock my files then if it's such an easy thing to do and my attack surface is so huge.

Maybe it's because he wants too? It's that simple.

>when you inevitably lose all your shit.
Oh no! Not my non tangible data! What would I do if I had to download it again! Oh no I lost little Timmy's graduation pictures! If only I had a small device that could store copies of all these things off of my computer to replace in case they ever went missing!
Keep larping you kindergarten level user

Not the same poster you embarrassing moron.

At this point I can see you're severely mentally deficient. No point wasting anymore time here, you'll always be stupid.

>uh windows doesn't have telemetry chud
>no actually it does b-but you can turn it off!!!
>NO! NO! wait actually you can't actually turn it off.... b-but it's like your le problem! I le win!
where's the goalpost gonna go next?

forgetting to check poster count sure is one hell of a way to move the goalpost

except it is

same writing style and errors-in-punctuation usage

>nothing to say

i accept your silence as your concession.

again: why are all win7 users like this?

There's like a hundred arguments in this thread. We're 150 replies in. You either understood them by now or you're in chronical denial.

The problem isn't telemetry though.
It's about backdoors that the US government demands be put in and that can be used by US (and other countries') spy agencies to do whatever the fuck they please.

Thinking you can disable built-in mass surveillance backdoors by blocking an IP or two and installing a 3rd party tool where you can untick a few boxes is like believing you can outsmart your health by adding a diet coke to a 5 burger meal.

But we need to be realistic about this, most people simply don't care about privacy because they're too dumb and naive to understand why it matters. And so it goes down the drain.

>Thinking you can disable built-in mass surveillance backdoors by blocking an IP or two and installing a 3rd party tool where you can untick a few boxes is like believing you can outsmart your health by adding a diet coke to a 5 burger meal.
Basically this.

>It's about backdoors that the US government demands be put in and that can be used by US (and other countries') spy agencies to do whatever the fuck they please.
Guess what moron? If you're going to freak out about that, you'll have to start using CPUs from 2006, because TPM 2.0 is implemented on all modern x86 SoC.

Even if that was true, there's people in this world who prefer OS's that don't require you to actively block stuff to feel comfortable enough to google something.

I genuinely don't understand why the most important machine in your life is used only with strict limitations and the constant lingering feel of having to actively block features.

the irony, anon, is that everyone here is posting anonymously, even though Ganker has your IP and your ISP knows exactly who you are. exposing yourself to necessary parties is not the same as broadcasting your personal information to unwanted recipients. you see, one of the great benefits of being "anonymous" is that you don't have to double down on a losing argument. nobody here knows who you are, and thus nobody cares.

Sigh.

You didn't even read the post moron. I said using Windows 10 with a firewall is more or less better than vanilla windows 7.

You can get a 13900k working on Windows XP if you really wanted to. Nothing holding you back.

Works on my machine.

It apparently only triggers you since you are the only one who cared about it. You could still get malware when security updates were offered so it is a non issue if you don't download malware. There's no point in a security system if you let the burglar in, there is that easy enough for your retarded brain? I can't wait until you send me ransomware so I can install it then wipe my hard drives and reinstall, dude your boss is going to kick your ass when you don't get my crypto currency

>You could still get malware when security updates were offered so it is a non issue if you don't download malware. There's no point in a security system if you let the burglar in,
Again, you don't know how the modern web works, you don't know how javascript works, you don't know anything. You're in no position to comment on anything related to opsec. You're a worthless idiot, know your place.

>Oh i know it,
Clearly you don't, because you keep trying to argue this stuff, even though it's abundantly clear you're a moron with no clue.

We can already see you're a mentally unstable moron, you don't need to keep proving it.

>And neither do you, you are a liar, go home, take a shower, and wash the shame off you yourself, you suck and you can't do it anyway

>I'm sorry I was under the impression you had a shower, excuse me for being presumptuous. Your local YMCA offers showers for free.

It's a bit disconcerting isn't it? Getting told all day you're acting like you're on a forum you've never even visited. I know there was talk of other sites years ago, but it never felt this common place to just bring up other forums as if they are adjacent to this imageboard.

You idiots just keep digging your heels, hey? You can't even run a CPU capable of reaching PCIE4.0 speeds you fucking moron lol.

Oh I'm sorry, you can technically use it, except it's being bottlenecked badly by the OS.
You'll keep digging your heels because you're a moron in denial. Imagine actually being enough of a moron to buy an 13900K while using Windows 7 LMFAO.

Guess what, idiot? A simple 8600K could probably run all your games at those frame rates. You bought an expensive, premium CPU specifically optimized for a modern operating system for no real reason. You are genuinely idiotic lol.

At the end of the day, you're still an idiot. You don't need to further confirm this.

>can only spam buzzwords
Thank you for continuing to double down on your stupidity, idiot.

>what is a firewall and antiJS plugins

With what, IE?

That means you are safe until you download it.

Shut up retard. The link clearly explains this isn't how the exploit works

You have to use an office file and view it in "thumbnail view" to payload. Simply having it cached doesn't work either.

Double retard, it's patched
>Solution
>Apply Patch
>Apply a patch as described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028.

Triple retard, most of these are fucking old and likely patched.

>a specially crafted .MIC, .DOC, or another office file type
>office file type
Yep. Into the trash, has nothing to do with games.

XP's source code got leaked a while ago and I think people have been patching it themselves. Would be really cool if we could get a full ass updated version of it that just does everything with the modern MS cancer attached.

Yeah, there's an unofficial SP3 built by the community.
inb4 malware and ransomware

No need to fight the power, leave it to retards like you. All that matters is playing software that already works fine on XP.

Do you have to do anything extra like download some kind of community made drivers to get it to work or does it work right out of the box on 7?

>doesn't post gameplay/benchmark/anything just a pic of OS info
sure you can champ

Thanks for the Windows Product Key, retardo

>doesn't know that activators generate random keys
Normalfags, normalfags everywhere. This board is lost.

>pretending to be retarded
Did you really think I was the owner of that PC in that pic? kek

>can only spam buzzwords
Thank you for continuing to double down on your stupidity, idiot.

I'm not the one that started namecalling. It's you, captain retard. Go feed your village.

>256gb
>3.6ghz base
That cannot be a 13900k, piss off retard.

It's a drawing, grow up

>Proton has fixed the game issue
for which game particularly?

>Which games aren't working other than the games thare aren't working?
Oh bother, it's another "i-it doesn't count!"

It's a worthless debate because someone who chooses to use Linux is obviously someone who doesn't care about games that don't run on Linux. Of course he doesn't count games that don't work on the system he chose. If he gave a shit about those games then he wouldn't have made that choice. This is why responding to "works on my machine" with "b-but OTHER game" never actually owns anyone.

What lie? You say "I know" but you seem to have missed the point. He didn't lie about anything.

Meanwhile Windows shills explicitly say every every game just works on Windows, an actual lie.
"Fixed the game issue" is vague and in this case obviously means "games anon likes".

Games designed to run on Windows XP are not designed to run on Windows 11 and vice versa, and "they all work on Windows 10 if I do half a dozen workarounds from PC Gaming Wiki" is pretty funny in light of all the commonly given reasons that I supposedly shouldn't use Linux.

"wine app.exe" will run most shit ootb

there's a few other stuff you can optionally add, like dxvk,fsync... that launchers like lutris will do
but yeah, wine runs most stuff ootb, especially old ones.

>Proton has fixed the game issue
No, it hasn't. The compatibility is only "acceptable" at best.
>and why would you use Wine for anything else? Use linux native software
Because most of the "linux native software" is fucking garbage.
