A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's kind of mandatory for windows unless you want to get viruses/malware.

Really? The built in Defender seems to be all most people need. Everything that used to be good is now scamware. The only time it’s useful is if you need to lock down your grandma’s pc so she doesn’t give your inheritance to a scammer with a nice Facebook ad.
