Yes. In order to run pirated content I had to run through a couple of hours of troubleshooting to disable the Microsoft anti-malware software, which would quarrantine and refuse to restore software without consent.

Pluton is a new name and may be Windows 11. Hopefully you can uninstall it with a third-party utility (windows utilities won't let you, and doing it by hand involves mucking around with the registry.l

I'm going to make the switch to Linux once I can brave it because Windows is malware and spyware and getting worse with each iteration.

If it took you a few hours to figure out how to play a pirated video then a Linux isn't for you.

[-] indomara@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No one likes gate keeping. Ideally Linux would be easy for people at any level to switch to.

I have seen similar message but not with that "unauthorized... of copyrighted material". How does it tell whether a file is copyrighted material or not?

[-] Willer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

It searches for the "You wouldnt download a car" ad.

[-] Letranger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Microsoft what?

[-] LeHappStick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah no... what is this? and where is this?

I'm on the latest stable version of W11 and I have tons of pirated content on my PC lmao

I've never gotten this message

It's not fake but it is confusing. Pluton is a chip mostly meant for cloud infrastructure. I believe some surface devices have it too but either way just don't use windows if you're sailing the high seas.

Holy crap. If this is real, this is gotta be the most dystopian thing I've seen so far. Time to switch OS and never look back.

Microsoft has a black list of file names including many KVM activators. I think “XVID” is what triggered this one

[-] syboxez@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Lol imagine blacklisting file names

I remember a similar scare when Vista was coming out, and then nothing happened. Probably the tech wasn't ready then and now it is, that's why is so encouraging so see big progress in Linux gaming, just in case.

Edit: found a source for the Vista thing https://www.forbes.com/2007/02/10/microsoft-vista-drm-tech-security-cz_bs_0212vista.html?sh=38c0bc9e175e

And yes, we know the picture is fake, but the Pluton platform is real and the nefarious intentions can always be counted on.

It’s an obvious fake

[-] Geometric7792@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

why is nobody talking about a fake image? hmm

[-] ghariksforge@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Windows is malware.

[-] anteaters@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That's what you get for using windows - software that might allow you to use your computer.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I've never heard of microsoft pluton- that's why I wasnt talking about it

[-] ErKaf@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Must suck to be a Windows User

[-] birdyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Common Microsoft L

[-] bioemerl@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Yes, Microsoft exerting this sort of control over their operating system does deeply concern me which is why i switched to Linux and you should too

[-] PeutMieuxFaire@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

It is because of rumors about Windows starting to implement this type of measures that I moved to Ubuntu… That was shortly before Windows Vista came out, back in 2006.
I never went back again, except briefly on an air-gaped machine under 7 to play Skyrim and Grim Dawn.

Ubuntu and more recently Pop!

I used to use a distro named "crunchbang"

[-] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a Linux user no. As a trend that could catch on in general consumer devices.. yes
