Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it?

Microsoft can't be bothered to make a single, unified control panel but they have resources to work on shit like this.

I've never heard of microsoft pluton- that's why I wasnt talking about it
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.
Because Windows is known to be malicious spyware, and you should consider not tolerating it any longer.
I switched to pop os recently and I'm never going back to Windows. It's easier now than ever to switch to Linux, even for gamers. Steam, proton, and wine have made running your Windows apps and games in Linux so easy. You'd have to have a very specific use case to justify staying with Windows now.
Here's a fun one: I own two video capture devices, an Elgato HD 60 S and an Avermedia LiveGamer Portable 2. Both do not work in Linux. I found a simple USB HDMI capture device that works in Linux and cost a fraction of what thosmother overhyped ones cost me. It works way better than they ever did. That was one of my last adjustments. I can still stream my Switch and PS5 on Twitch, no problem.
That's a pretty niche use case and it was easy.
If you click on "More info" you have the option to run it. You'll see a message indicating there's risk involved in doing so.
20 years ago it was called TCP/Palladium and everyone was afraid this might happen. That was one of the reasons Microsoft implemented TPM chips.
Obviously everyone forget about it until now. Happy new times where Microsoft can dictate which files your, sorry, their computer is allowed to open.
Isn't this bypassed by clicking "More info" and the "Run" button appears?
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.
Never seen this. I'd want way more proof its real. that beside said if it comes to that its Linux time. I don't prefer linux but I've found one that mostly works for me.
I've never seen that particular "error" before, but juddging by how it looks you there's probably a run anyway button hidden under "more info".
What's a windows
As a Linux Uber-amateur, it feels like we’re basically able to do anything I would want to do on Linux now… the thing where Microsoft tries to not allow you to download stuff because they haven’t paid Microsoft to sign it has always annoyed me. This would be the next level of nope.
One thing that’s kept me on the fence is I like multiplayer games, and I had always heard that battle eye didn’t work on Linux, but with all the proton development and steam deck interest, perhaps this is becoming a non issue?
Microsoft Pluton has detected thought crimes in violations of Section 232 (17 U.S.C. § 381) on your device. Your IMEI and local audio-video recordings have been transfered to authorities for further inspection.
I consider using windows as self-harm. It is a decision you make. I choose not to harm myself in this way, so this does not concern me.
Not really, this screenshot is fake.
Microsoft what?
Fake
I'm concerned about being able to run GNU/Linux on computers with Pluton chips, but I shouldn't get this hardware at home before the next decade. I'm trying to buy as much second-hand commodities as possible.
That's what you get for using windows - software that might allow you to use your computer.
Microsoft Pluton sounds a lot like Google Ultron from the classic copypasta
Install gentoo
Dafuck is that shit, nobody should live like this
Relevant article: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-microsoft.en.html
It’s an obvious fake
There is gonna be easy fix for this in one second
why is nobody talking about a fake image? hmm
If I was Microsoft o wouldn't let you run xvid as well are you living in 2010?
Is Microsoft Pluton related to Google Ultron?
not very surprising tbh, Microsoft is exactly who I’d expect to do something like this. if you need to use windows on the machine you pirate stuff on just create a new user and disable smartscreen/defender on that account. i do agree though that this should get some more traction, more people use windows than id like to admit
I was your typical on-the-fence guy for years, installing Linux a couple of times a year, hopping between distros but eventually always returned to Windows. Those days are over for good. I learned to understand packages, dependencies and the basic tools to be able to understand and execute most troubleshooting. Still on an Apple laptop but once they pull similar shit with their telemetry that’s it.
Try to open it with another media player, like VLC
This usually happens when you try to launch a program which MS can't verify it's signature or suspect it's a malware, never seen that happens with a media file and for a such idiot reason...!!
Usually you just click more info and then 'run anyway'
Because they haven't deployed it yet

I'm not talking about it because I use an OS that treats me as its owner rather than as someone it's doing a huge favor to just by letting me log in.

RIP EVO o7
I use linux.
The war on general-purpose computing continues.
For real? What's this shit? I'm so glad I'm using Linux and I don't have to deal with this crap anymore
confused k-lite codec noises.
