You know how sometimes a story seems so completely crazy, that you wonder what detail has been left out? Like… the payment provider just randomly wanted a list of all passwords? What?

Neither of them are fresh out the box clean installs, they are what they are.

I very specifically said “my windows machine from 2011” because it’s still in use.

it doesn’t account for modern computers doing more now than they did then.

We know they do more, but most of that “more” is bullshit bloat and sloppy engineering, neither of which we asked for.

When I boot up Windows 11 and start no programs, somehow there’s already over 8Gb RAM already consumed, the CPU shows 8% utilisation, there’s 244 processes running, and it still took every bit as long to get there as my Windows 7 machine from 2011. That’s what the rest of us are talking about.

What Intel giveth, Microsoft taketh away.

ok but those are the same cisco phones they have at CTU in 24, I wouldn’t get too complacent
