Well, I have two of those. I guess I'll just go fuck myself than, huh?

DeskModder noted that it wasn't as simple as blocking an app based entirely on its name; for example, while VLC is listed in the big list of services and apps that are disallowed, it's specifically listing a Windows 7 version of VLC.

Sounds like Windows has a problem with really old versions only. I guess you should be fine as long as you keep your apps relatively fresh.

People don't read articles and you are asking them to keep their apps fresh? Just let them fuck themselves

Rule 1 in Reddit: never read the article

Rule 2: react to the headline

Since we’re on Lemmy, I thought I might get away with breaking the rules.

WUMT was good to me.

Can't you disable SmartSense or whatever bullshit there is that scans ~~apps~~ programs when they're installed?

Probably but they certainly don't want you to know that and almost certainly will say that you can't.
