…Microsoft, you have become so damn annoying with Windows Defender and other things that I am looking to turn it off permanently because I, not you, gets to be the arbiter of what I want on my machine and if I say leave this on my machine, I shouldn’t have to retell you over and over and over and over again.
Not only that, I am now looking to completely replace my Windows Laptops with FreeBSD laptops. It brings me no joy to say that as a near 20 year Microsoft MVP but you always wanted us to be honest about when MSFT is doing a shit job and well… In many areas and in many ways, you are absolutely doing a shit job. If I can find a manufacturer that actually builds decent quality laptops that come pre-loaded and fully supported with FreeBSD, I will start buying them exclusively for my home. I will sill have virtual Windows servers for testing things for work until I find alternative solutions for that as well but I am likely going to be removing all Windows from my personal life.
In the meanwhile I am looking into this.
