Microsoft patched a record of 208 security vulnerabilities, but the update has introduced a string of bugs that range from cosmetic annoyances to machines locked out of their own drives. (thenextweb.com)

It's like Microsoft is advertising for Linux at this point, lol.

"KB5094126 patched 208 security vulnerabilities on June 9, but the update has triggered Recycle Bin display glitches, BitLocker lockouts on enterprise hardware, OneDrive failures, and system freezes, with the first fix not expected until July 14."

I am not surprised in the slightest.

On a little tangent: my work laptop recently updated and the entire thing was going swimmingly (well aside from the fact Windows needs to restart 3 times in order to "Update and Shutdown" but eh) up until it got to 100%. The time it took to get from 0% to 100% was less than from 100% to actually finishing. I had enough time to hypothesize they let AI change something in the update process and one condition was to not increase how long it took to "complete" the update, ie get to 100%.

Vibecode the whole OS and boast about how many bugs your AI fixed. This is not a bubble folks.

[–] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 32 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

This is my shocked face.

Honest.

This is why I run Linux.

[–] pnwpixel@programming.dev 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

As a longtime Linux-only user, I love how M$ is driving people over to a new OS. But, with increased publicity and adoption makes it a growing target for hackers.

[–] Anonymous_Leaker@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

One second, let me restart Windows for updates then I can respond. Lol!

[–] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You might be able to. You might not. At this point, 50/50 chance. ;-)

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 45 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I see they let AI at their codebase.

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

so has every other major OS fwiw, including linux and two of the big BSDs

i fucking hate the future

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 19 points 9 hours ago

But not TempleOS.

[–] Miaou@jlai.lu 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Any proof of these OSS OSes accepting vibe-coded patches?

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

both openbsd and freebsd have had slop commited to them, altho not many

linux is by far the worst as it has, to date, 1086 slop commits

Windows has become an early 2000's webpage. Filled with ads, quiet installs, and nagging deceptive pop-ups.

Hey real quick, you want to make edge your default browser and talk to Cortana?...

[–] ThisGuyThat@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (3 children)

"You have clicked no. Microsft Edge is your new default browser! How can I help you more with the microsoft experience?" - Cortana.

[–] drcobaltjedi@programming.dev 16 points 10 hours ago

Reminds me of that tweet:

"Does microsoft understand concent?

  • yes
  • Ask me again later"
[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago

I think I'm glad that microslop didn't go with Cortana as their dumb LLM name.

Not that there were any good back when Cortana was the Pc AsSiStAnT for Windows, to be clear.

I still love the older Windows like Windows XP way better. It really didn't do any of that shit. You just needed a pop up blocker.

[–] ThisGuyThat@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

7 was it for me. That XP start up sound and bliss hits me in the nostalgia.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

just replace the old 'punch the monkey' with certain other faces...

and you'd get clicks like crazy.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 11 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Microsoft confirmed the issue on June 18 and said a fix would not arrive until July 14. The company attributed the bug to a security hardening change that closed a 23-year-old unchecked-buffer vulnerability in the Windows Shell’s desktop.ini processor.

Inspiring confidence!

[–] DaleGribble88@programming.dev 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm confused by that last sentence. Does mean that the bug stems from patching a 23-year old vulnerability, or that the bug is because of a patch made to fix the vulnerability 23 years ago?

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The vulnerability existed for 23 years, was recently discovered and patched and that patch introduced a new bug

[–] DaleGribble88@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago

Thank you!

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

May I let you all know about windows update blocker?

It buys you time til you get your machine switched over to Linux without being at the mercy of a forced update potentially bricking it first

[–] Anonymous_Leaker@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

There are still telemetries that send back data. You also have to turn most of those off, but there are required ones that you can't turn off.

[–] 404found@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing AI can't fix.
