His posts imply some sort of mental illness. Depression, self doubt, anxiety, etc… The lashing out would be pretty textbook depression.

It happens with Linux too. OS’ update EFIvars as a standard process. Systemdboot does it and I’ve seen GRUB do it too.

No amount of being careful or anti virus is going to stop a zero day. Remember wannacry?

They don’t break anything. They just said the default boot manager to the Windows one. You go into your UEFI and change the property back to GRUB/Systemdboot/whatever.

You do know that the MS developers go to great lengths to make sure that legacy software continues to run? You can’t have it work forever though. An example would be the shift from 16 bit to 32 bit to 64 bit, that’s progress not planned obsolescence.

If you have physical access to a system then all bets are off. The recovery shell is to help get the system working again so you need unfettered access. It is configurable to be “secure”, however getting a single user shell by editing the GRUB command line at boot is trivial.

That sounds like you’ve dropped to a recovery shell because of a failed filesystem mount. Do you have the external drive in /etc/fstab?

The reason that Windows is such a mess is BECAUSE of the ludicrous asking of backwards compatibility.

Probably backed by some ancient garbage tier database.

Conversely do not “ask to ask”. Give me what you want or need in the email, don’t say “can I ask you something?” And then provide no further info. There is a balance to be struck.
