I hate that. “Bug fixes and improvements” every time. And then there are the ones who think they’re being cute with “our bird Fernando has been hard ar work eating those nasty bugs and flying over the rainbow to bring you an ever delightful experience”. Just, no. I don’t mind you flexing some creative writing muscles in your release notes if you provide actual clear information, but if you’re going to say nothing like everyone else, might as well use the same standard useless message so I can dismiss it quick.
> YouTuber Eric Parker demonstrated in a recent video how dangerous it is to connect classic Windows operating systems
The video referenced in that article explicitly connects directly to the internet, using a VPN to bypass any ISP and router protections and most importantly disables any protections WinXP itself has.
So yeah, if you really go out of your way to disable all security protections, you may have a problem.
One comment there points out that XP is old enough for infected attack vectors to have all died out. I dunno.
