"Fortunetaly (sic) I don't use crappy windows. I run Gentoo Linux."
A reasonable observation followed by a stupid effectively ad hominem attack. The reason your Linux PC is free from the Samsung keylogger (if it does exist) is only because there's little to no incentive to bother with attacking Linux users. Do you really believe Microsoft has spent billions in research and hiring the brightest minds in technology to create an inherently insecure OS, or is it more likely that the incredibly large userbase creates much greater incentives for security attacks?
- notoem 16y agoNo, the reason his computer does not have the keylogger is because he installed an operating system other than the one it came with (assuming the story is accurate). Even if he had reinstalled Windows, he would not have it.
- limmeau 16y agoUnless the BIOS knows how to install Windows keyloggers in Windows root partitions and Linux keyloggers in Linux root partitions.
- iuytghyjuyh 16y agoUnless of course he needed to install any video,network, chipset, audio, bluetooth etc drivers from Samsung's site in which case all bets are off.
- nopassrecover 16y agoSure, but this doesn't substantiate calling Windows stupid, which by itself implies fault with the OS.
- Bud 16y agoWindows is not a man (or person), and therefore cannot possibly be the target of an "ad hominem" attack.
- nopassrecover 16y agoTo attack a company or product based on opinion rather than fact is the same fallacy.
