Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks agoWell technically its not the same GDPR, but w/e.
Point is:
Much of what MSFT does isn’t GDPR compliant, or violates other data security and privacy laws in the EU, or just generally throws privacy and security by the wayside, as a matter of course.

If you think MSFT gives a shit about actual data security and privacy, you’re not following the just stream of lawsuits they just keep getting into, revolving these issues.
Yeah if that means 99% of orgs have bad policy, by relying on a company with a terrible record on all this, the, uh then uh yeah, 99% of orgs are choosing to have the ability to blame someone else for their own bad decisions, over making better decisions.

The point is arguing about something when you plainly don’t understand how the UK still has GDPR doesn’t really validate your opinions in any way shape or form…
The security doesn’t matter, nothing other than Windows is used. To move to something else would cost so much that businesses simply cannot sustain that. We now have workers who have had 30 years of only working with Windows… and new workers only get Windows. Doesn’t matter what you or anybody else thinks, or says, it matters little. It is pretty much set in stone that you need Windows and Office in the UK, plus other software to make things like PDF’s and documents. You can point anyone towards anything and it just doesn’t matter… and here in the UK they don’t care about lawsuits, we don’t sue first and ask questions later - our legal system is just not setup that way. It is so difficult for other countries to understand, but that kind of approach just doesn’t happen, and our legal system takes little notice of legal issues in countries like the US.

Cool, I don’t care that its the industry standard, the industry standard is shit.
Adapt, Improvise, Overcome!
If a bunch of Boomers only know how to use Windows, and MS Office, its time for them to retire.
Its not that hard to switch daily drive office work to a stable linux distro, and libreoffice.
Yeah, it would be more difficult to switch over say, a full CRM solutiom, but uh, given how I’ve done exactly that at orgs I’ve worked at, uh, no, no, not impossible, quite doable actually.

You are still going? You really aren’t a nice person are you forcing your “opinion” on people… it is not financially viable in the UK to retire early any more
