What, you expect them to make a case-sensitive version of NTFS just to store your password??
- emodendroket 5y agoNTFS is case-sensitive.
- Agent766 5y agoThey made a case-insensitive version of NTFS just to store your password
- jolux 5y agoI think it’s internally case sensitive and provides case insensitive APIs to users, right?
- Barracoon 5y agoRight, win32 is insensitive
- bradknowles 5y agoIt is case-preserving, but not case-sensitive. So, it will show you what was entered and make you think it’s case-sensitive, but then when you go to do the comparison, it actually ignores case. The stupid thing is that MacOS was also case-preserving but not case-sensitive for a long time.
- nathell 5y agoAPFS still defaults to case-preserving: [nathell@macmini /tmp]$ echo first > A [nathell@macmini /tmp]$ echo second > a [nathell@macmini /tmp]$ cat A second
- emodendroket 5y agoThat's how Windows will behave but not actually how the underlying filesystem does.
