    Correct me if I’m wrong, but initial news about it serving malicious updates were false. You never got anything malicious thru updates, neither was the exe file/installer tampered with. The worst they actually did was redirect you to a fake site when pressing download, where the malicious file was distributed. GitHub and signed versions were never affected. What’s also interesting is that the attacker selectively redirected people, not all of them. I always installed n++ using Ninite, so I’m in the clear.

    The whole thing seems blown out of proportions. The amount of affected people is likely very small.

    That’s not really an Android problem, that’s rooting (or on iphones - jailbreaking) problem. Stock android, just like your stock iPhone, should not have such problems, so it’s very disingenuous for you to not mention anything about you rooting/hacking/modifying your device and just saying “android bad, iPhone good”, not very engineer-like of you. Be more objective next time and skip the narrative-bending














  • I’ve never really had problems with it on windows either. I use it 95% of the time as I want to continue where I left off. This includes leaving huge videogames on like Witcher 3.

    EDIT: Now that I think about it, I don’t remember the last time I used shutdown function. It’s always sleep or sometimes restart after installing something
