I don’t think you’ll need to uninstall. If I’m reading the article correctly, it looks like they plugged the hole in their update process by switching hosting providers to one that’s even more hardened and secure. So requests from the updater should go to the correct place now and not the state-sponsored hacker.

Then in about a month, the next version of notepad++ that is released will also properly validate/verify any downloaded update files from the server.

You could also just disable the checks for updates from within the application too. Or better yet, use something like winget to handle the updates instead of the built-in updater.

The fact that it made $7 million just shows people are fucking dumb and will watch any trash you put in front of them, and they’ll pay to do it.

I’m just wondering then why Apple would even push this if a president was already set with Epic. What a bunch of greedy corporate bastards.

Amazon has become a competitor to UPS since they started their own delivery services. This lead to UPS cutting ties with Amazon. I guess Amazon will have to complete the rollout of their own delivery services to your area and others like yours.

Good, a well deserved ass-beating to the Nazi-in-chief. Fuck Elon and his company.

Who is buying Nazi robots for their house? I can’t think of a more intrusive spying machine than one of these shitty things that will never meet the empty and irresponsible promises Elon can give. Remember when he promised the world that his cars would self-drive and do it safely? How’d that turn out?

I have a theory that covid fucked the brains of people up bad. Mental decline has been pretty drastic ever since covid.

Or at the end of a noose.
