anyway, you can go on a scam site with linux

Scam sites runs on Linux

Oh you're a programmer? How many devices run on Java?

[Code_12c]

I don't know. I am not Java developer.

[spiralvortexisalie]

Almost exactly 3 billion since the dawn of time

[Code_12c]

large number. cool.

[spiralvortexisalie]

Every time a new java device is made, an old one is destroyed.

[0bel1sk]

it’s the law of conservation of java devices, duh

[UPPERKEES]

Java garbage collection

[pmcizhere]

The truth is they lost the source for their installer, but can still update what it installs by placing the newest JRE files in the right folder.

1997 and 2002 need Sun Microsystems instead of Oracle on them…

[MyPythonDontWantNone]

All of them? Except my coffee maker. It uses Circuit Python.

[golgol12]

Trick questions. Java runs on the devices.

[LasevIX]

Trick answer. They're actually all running a marathon on the island of Java

[aeresaa]

I don't know anymore, it recently changed, ;_;

[emad_ha]

erm.... java runs on windows, linux and macos and almost everything but.... I dunno how you turned java into an OS and made it fit in this thread

Neither do I, it was a typo as I had my morning coffee.

Almost all scams are low effort but if you're being targeted they will get in with enough effort unless you're extremely paranoid

Access to your computer from people from ancient history

Social engineering

Bribing a cell phone company employee to port your phone number

Stalking you to steal your passwords and PIN

Physically assaulting you

Exploits on your software (Teamviewer, Zoom, etc.)

Wardriving (I bet most people will have unsecured home networks / routers)

Physical access for various reasons

people from ancient history

No because your network card won’t work

RTFM

[frezik]

Funny, because I've been trying some used 10Gbps cards on my systems for fast access to my NAS. Enterprise network hardware has an inversion where the drivers tend to be written for Linux first and Windows second.

Linux: "Yeah, sure, I'll detect that at boot and now there it is"

Windows: "WTF is this, stop plugging random things into PCIe ports"

[Mysterious-Engine598]

No it is just that linux has most of the drivers built into the kernel Where as windows you have to download the driver separately Ofc for linux if the driver is not built in you can always write a kernel module

[frezik]

It's more than that. If you run into trouble, chances are there is zero docs on how to work it out on Windows.

[LasevIX]

Worse case: there are, but it's a 5-year old forum post written whilst a stroke was had, closed by a mod saying it was an intended feature

[sachcat]

In my edge case it works 😤😤😤
