    That is NOT a "response".

    Microsoft simply begged LG to stop doing this. Nevermind the huge, glaring security hole which ALLOWS Windows to do this absurdly dangerous "feature".

    Seriously. Could Windows 11 possibly be any less secure? You plug in a friggin MONITOR - of all things - and various shit just automatically
    downloads and installs with no warning?

    Really?

    This SHOULD be a stop-everything-else-you-are-doing-and-fix-this-mess-TODAY issue. This is a ridiculously stupid bug. Is it any wonder that people are flocking to Mac and Linux?

    Bill Gates is a genuine psychopath murderer. He has no soul and and
    his conscience is seared over as with a hot iron. Gates would only
    have great joy knowing that W11 can be broken into any way. I only
    wish that the Almighty would have thrown him and his plane straight
    into the ground by now. The pilots and his whore mistress from
    Epstein's island are possibly preventing it.

    Have you heard what Gates' tick spreading is actually about? They
    have found that the ticks carry some malady within and when it bite,
    it combine with something in the latest vaccines and thereby causes
    those people to become allergic to meat.

    God, please kill this monster!

    Gates doesn't do anything but collect money now.

    The real enemies are the Indian imports who are running his company.
