I wrote a program (not a virus) on my computer. Windows deleted the exe immediately after I compiled it because it was "an unverified application from an unknown source".
It didn't bother deleting the batch script I downloaded from an email that would delete all files if run. Apparently that one was fine.
Well that script was ran on enough other computers, so the magic algorithm decided if everyone else ran it, it must be fine.
What language was it written in? I read that Microsoft Defender likes to flag the baked-in runtime of some languages as malware because they commonly shows up in actual nalware.
C#. The language made by Microsoft.
That is incredibly ironic.
It relies on the .NET runtime already existing on the system, so it can't even be excused as a false positive mistaking an embedded language runtime as malware.
IT professional here with 20+ years work experience. Not once have I ever met another tech that liked Apple. Personally, I despise them. Unintuitive locked down garbage that can't do anything a PC can't do for half the price. And yes, I have seen viruses on Macs.
They're just really good at advertising to people who don't understand technology.
The main thing Apple has going for them is their UI/UX is great for the average person, and all of their products just work with each other.
But yeah, from a sysadmin point of view it's garbage.
Unintuitive locked down garbage that can't do anything a PC can't do for half the price.
From the user perspective, enterprise managed Windows is locked down, too, and somehow less reliable.
Most of the software engineers I know in FAANG and similar tier companies use Macbooks to program. Poke around a coffee shop in the bay area during a weekday and look around.
And personally, I switched to Mac about 15 years ago mainly because dependency management and the shell made more sense to me coming from Linux. Windows has always been trash, and most other non-Apple OEMs make the actual physical laptop experience worse (hinges, behavior on closing the lid, trackpad behavior and size, power management, display quality in both brightness and pixel density, webcam/audio behavior).
Long time and still current hater of all things Apple here.
I have to use a locked down enterprise managed Windows 11 laptop for work. If given the choice of that or a locked down enterprise managed Mac, I'd switch in a heartbeat.
Maybe 10-20 years ago. Today macs are great machines, especially for the price.
I can tell this meme is old because windows does the same shit MacOS does now and has been since at least Windows 10
Nah I use both pretty regularly and I'm fairly sure macOS still makes you do the "nope sorry, press ok, go into system settings, security panel, become admin and click trust this unknown publisher" thing
Windows still just does the same safescreen thing they've been doing for ages now: "windows stopped this unknown thing from running, wanna run it anyway?"
Actually worse - you don’t do it in the system settings anymore. You have to run a terminal command to dequarantine it. On windows you just have to click see more and accept the risk (or similar). Mac made it way more painful with no prompt to even show you how to do it - and it sort of acts like the app is broken rather than telling you it’s even a security protection.
WINDOWS PROTECTED YOUR COMPUTER 🍑
We have detected 🍆 and unverified app attempting to run on ~~our~~ your device and stopped it.
you are being protected, please don't resist.
Satya Nadella: "Whether the users like it or not, I'm going to protect them."
sudo apt-get install your_mom
I tried running it on your_mom and it threw up an error: "No space left on disk."
I'm going to mount your_mom on my /
By default windows does block unverified binaries. It's pretty annoying. You have to click more info and then run anyway:
This meme might be referring to the RedSun zero-day, currently unpatched in Win10 & Win11, where detected malicious SW gets installed to the system folder for you by defender.
Linux experience :
I want to delete my entire filesystem
Sure thing! It'll be gone by the time you reboot
That's kind of dated. All the times I've done this recently it's gone seconds after I screwed up.
Linux experience:
What really is a virus? Software is software, bro 🤷♂️
Chill brah, it's just files
Linux: Go ahead and break the system, I don't care lol
rm -rf /
Go vroooooooooooom
--no-preserve-root
The macOS Gatekeeper quarantine is stupid, and Windows loves detecting random files as malware and deleting them while you're using them and not restoring them even after you tell it to allow the "threat".
There are also viruses on MacOS. Just sayin'.
"Can I delete root directory, please 🥺🥺?"
"Of course 👍"
Me: "Do the thing."
OS: "no."
Me: "Fuck you. Sudo do the thing."
OS: "yes sir. Right away sir."
That is the way it should be.
Back when I was a linux noob I uninstalled python since I had some package issues. Lol, lmao even
And you learned an important lesson that day.
That was the moment I understood Linux yielded the user with great power and great responsibility. I instantly fell in love and have been distro hopping ever since
I've never used a Mac, can you not just write your own app and run it?
I do that on windows all the time.
You can run what ever you want, it doesn’t stop you outright, it just asks you a bunch of times and makes you jump through some hoops if the program isn’t from a verified source. It’s annoying for someone who knows what they’re doing, but arguably a good backstop to keep someone clueless from running something hostile. It’s a complicated enough process that someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing won’t be able to run it.
Arguably it’s overkill and them trying to force users to stay in their closed “verified” garden, but it’s not totally unjustified.
Apple blocks even apps that they define as "too old".
Like every new version of Macintosh forces every developer to scramble and update their app even though nothing needs to change just so Apple doesn't block them.
That's fucked. Normally I can coax just about any windows app to run on even windows 11, and I have to because sometimes I interact with ancient industrial machines with monolithic Configurator apps that need a serial connection and a bunch of weird custom commands that was last used in 1998. I'd be boned without them.
Afaik, Microsoft made it a core principle to not break backward compatibility. Something that mattered to a lot of enterprise users. Applications made in Windows XP era, still work today on Win 11.
That's a pretty cool thing ngl. But unfortunately it doesn't make up for everything else.
You can. You can also install other package managers like brew.
Good luck, I'm behind 7 Commodore 64s
I don't know if it's the headcanon I'm reading the nordic chad voices in but I laugh literally everytime I open this image lol
