@hiarun02 Every generation has its own challenges. Let new gen handle those. You never did COBOL prpgramming in cards. Why want new gen to handle thin client unix terms?
@Adriksh What relax bro? You are pure idiot with a squirrel size brain. After insulting an entire generation, why does your pea sized brain explain laurels?
@Adriksh What crap is this from young folks? Vim predates Linix by eons. You have your LLMs. Enjoy those. Why making fun of your earlier generation who were working in no internet no LLM era. Grow some shame and get lost.
Hello @IRCTCofficial OTP sent to my email on https://t.co/RMGbmQKUlm is not working. I need to book ticket. How should I book tickets? I am trying since 3 days. And you would not send OTP to my https://t.co/Se79zif6DM id.
Regular exercise is linked to slower biological aging - but only in people sleeping 7+ hours.
People who slept under 6 hours and exercised actually aged faster.
I am the Senior Product Manager for Notepad at Microsoft.
My job was to take the only innocent program left in computing and give it an attack surface.
I succeeded.
CVE-2026-20841. CVSS 8.8. Remote code execution. In Notepad. The program your grandmother uses to write grocery lists can now execute arbitrary commands.
I got promoted.
Notepad was invented in 1985. For forty years it did one thing. It opened text. It did not render text. It did not format text. It did not connect to the internet. It did not have opinions about your writing. It was the last honest program on your computer.
My team fixed that.
In 2024 we killed WordPad. "Nobody uses it," we said. "It's bloat," we said. Then in May 2025 we added Markdown rendering to Notepad.
In September we added AI-powered writing, rewriting, and summarization. We turned Notepad into WordPad. Then we turned it into Word.
Then we turned it into an attack vector. The roadmap was always the same. We just changed the name on the headstone.
The vulnerability works like this: you open a Markdown file in Notepad. You click a link. Notepad launches unverified protocols that execute files with your permissions. A text editor. Running code. From a link. In a program that existed specifically to NOT run code. We shipped this as a default feature.
The "off" switch is in settings. Nobody checks settings. We know this. We designed it that way.
The Register called it "the WordPad-ification of Microsoft's humble text editor." Critics said we were betraying Notepad's core ethos.
They were correct.
Notepad's ethos was simplicity. Simplicity does not generate engagement metrics. Simplicity does not require a Copilot+ PC.
Simplicity does not produce CVEs.
We gave Notepad AI, network access, Markdown rendering, and tables. We gave it everything except a threat model.
Forty years of doing nothing wrong. We couldn't allow that to continue.
This is the Microsoft way.
If you're like me and you have n8n + portfolio + testing + ML workloads ++ just use this. This is so good. (It's twice as expensive as Hetzner fyi but the overhead makes sense to me)
