Yeah it's fake and who watches xvid encodes anyway?
Didn't even know avi is still used. Haven't seen one in ages
Gatekeeping video codecs, that's some next-level neckbeardery right there.
Gatekeeping
How is it gatekeeping to call out a codec that (rightfully so) isn't being used anymore?
why is no one talking about it?
Because it's not fucking real.
Time to switch to a true operating system.
Source for picture? I thought pluton wasn't widely rolled out yet and was still experimental.
edit: apparently after looking around its fake so the guy can post unrelated soyjak pictures
You've posted the exact same post, same picture and title, on another instance. Smells like bot to me.
How does that make him a bot? lmao
"bot" doesn't necessarily mean a literal computer program, people can be bots too. Same idea behind using "NPC" as an insult
If I recall, it was just an edit of the smartscreen message, which has an option to continue using the software.
This definitely isn't recent, because this same picture popped up on reddit months ago.
So how do you get around it? If the only answer is keep running my windows 7 machine or install Linux, I'm going to be disappointed
Fake, apparently
From the other comments I gather this is fake, but I've had similar dialogues presented to me for running untrusted .exe files. The "More info" link gives you the option to run anyways.
TBF, that’s a different story there. Firefox does the same with unsecured connections. That warning is basically there for all the non IT people who have bonuses what a signature is and run any .candycrush.exe file they see
I want to be admin on my own machine.
there's always the sledgehammer protocol.. i don't think they can prevent that yet..
Okay I just looked and this might be fake...There's ways to disable the "smart"screen filter with the group policy editor and also regedit. If you don't have windows pro, get "policy plus", it's a project on github. It's a substitute for any system that doesn't have gpedit(dot)msc
Again...This picture is probably fake, but there's a chance that it could become real.
Please drink a verification can to continue.
