>> End result: major borkage and a broken boot Yeah. For mint, the recommended and fully supported upgrade path is a fresh install. If you upgrade it the other way, it's risky, and you knew it, you checked the box with the red warnings before.
Anyway,the fresh install on Mint is two times quicker than the update, so why bother with the update ??????
My recommendation (through GUI): On first install, create 4 partitions : sda1 : root, 40 GB sda2 : empty, 40GB sda3 : swap, 4GB sda4 :/home
When upgrading, install the new system from fresh on sda2, then you can boot both old and new OSs, and keep all your data in the right place Next time upgrade sda1 With that you always have two working systems and never have to break anything immediately. Update ? 20 minutes of work(including installing a prepared list of packets), 20-40min of unattended working time Also, use and abuse backups.
I never had a single problem with that strategy on ca. 15 systems since 4 Years. It upgrades faster than any other OS, and you can revert....
>> I wonder how long it will be before those of us who refuse to use corporate/closed-source operating systems on our computers will be put on a watch list by the government...
In most government the watchlist is no more. it's been replaced by an opt-out list containing a few names of top politicians. Every now and then, these top politicians find out that the opt-out list is ignored, and it's funny that they are furious about it.
In other words : WE ARE ALL CONSIDERED TERRORISTS ALREADY.
>> Basically you are left with two options... Nope You have 4 options 1) & 2) as you mentionned 3) reproduce the issue on a pristine PC without any sensitive data, send this dump. 4) Use Linux.
the difference here is that wats'app is implementing the end user software, and automatically accepts new certificates on behalf of the user. Like when you accept broken certificates in your browser, except in this case the browser accepts it for you.# That's the definition of a backdoor.
Backdoor is working as intended. Nothing to see here. Move on. Yeah right.
He is talking about a legitimate feature in the protocol that has a reason to be here but is turned into a genuine backdoor by the Watsapp application because watsapp does not let the user confirm new keys.
Not necessarily. If the endpoint is shown to be secure, and the keys are generated by the endpoint, and that the endpoint warns you when keys are changed, then all the MITM man can do undetected is to delete messages. The MITM Man in this case is Watsapp, and the US Gov.

It seems there still were some former Nokia employees left after all :)
Now it's time to end this strange story.

Nope
You have 4 options
1) & 2) as you mentionned
3) reproduce the issue on a pristine PC without any sensitive data, send this dump.
4) Use Linux.
>> Windows 7 Does Not Meet the Demands of Modern Technology; Recommending Windows 10

Recommending Linux.

if the provides manages the keys, you're toast.
So never never use watsapp.
Not necessarily. If the endpoint is shown to be secure, and the keys are generated by the endpoint, and that the endpoint warns you when keys are changed, then all the MITM man can do undetected is to delete messages.

Yep. It definitely has the purpose to limit the surpopulation !
That's nature at work !
Frankly, this is really old news.
I Use "Windows Goodbye" daily since 2008.
It's called Linux.
You just have to check the right option :
"Erase disk and install linux mint"

'don't have these problems here. Plenty of software available here.
No mastering problems.
Use Linux instead :)
>> Nearly every home computer is running Windows 10 Home.
Nope. approx 10% of the home computers I know of run Linux.
Another 15% run MacOs X.
Don't know.
Probably well because several armies run their battlefield Software on Linux.
>> What about letting us choose everything we want to update?
Use Linux :)
Linux.
In Windows world, Vulnerabilities are Features, so there aren't any Vulnerabilities.
Use Linux.
Windows 10 alwas leaks, phone or not phone.
The title is right :

After the home and pro edition, the Leaks edition, for everybody.
Leaks ought to be okay for everybody.

No. That can't be true.
