I used Windows 7 for way beyond its expiry date, until there was an exploit for some image format that meant I had to upgrade my browsers.
Corporate users of Windows 7 still get updates, and there's somebody in Ukraine who redistributes these updates, or at least the digital certificate signing the updates says they live there: https://blog.simplix.info/update7/ https://blog.simplix.info/update7/
Come to think of it, I guess and hope the info in certificate is outdated, and they're living somewhere outside of fear of Putin's bombs.
- p0w3n3d 2y agoHowever, what about a risk that someone in Ukraine is adding a little bit of malware in it?
- wltr 2y agoSame risk as any other country, huh?
- Acrobatic_Road 2y agoof course not
- wltr 2y agoBecause?..
- Acrobatic_Road 2y agobecause we live in the real world, not some egalitarian fantasy
- wltr 2y agoYou might elaborate, but you chose to spill nonsense. I see no difference in that department, a hacker might live anywhere.
- Acrobatic_Road 2y agowould he live in a place where nobody has access to the internet or electricity? Or where most people lack basic skills, i.e. cannot solve simple math problems or answer basic questions?
- wltr 2y agoI don’t understand your reasoning. Are there many countries like that? Why would Ukraine (not even Russia) mean something fishy? As if, say, the US or UK person cannot be fishy. Some super-rural place like Africa is simply irrelevant here, I believe.
