    Why would Windows 7 not be “safe” to connect to the internet? Do you understand how any of this works?

      Lemmy is overloaded with people that puff up and want to present like they know things about tech, when they know basically nothing.

      Get a hardware firewall, get basic safe practices in place, don’t do basic user operations as admin, and configure shit correctly. If you think that your OS is there to protect you, you are a tech foooooooooooooool

        I just connected my Windows 7 machine to the internet and two Russians jumped out my serial port! One is holding me down while the other one is stealing the CPU from my washing machine! Send help!

            Well one did fuck me in the ass while the other one stole my favorite underwear right out from the delicate cycle. Total animals.
