Compatible with Windows 8.1
"Blast from the past"

Come on, my guy. Give me a freaking break.

[-] shane@feddit.nl 13 points 1 day ago

Windows 8.1 was released in 2013, so yeah, a blast from the past!

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Your reply only further reinforces what I'm saying. 2013 was not that long ago.

[-] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Your comment being 1 minute old would also qualify it as a blast from the past.

People out there waging wars over money and power when the real battle lies in semantics.

[-] snrkl@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 1 day ago

Oh come on people!!

If there was EVER a use case for repurposing a USB stick to make a Linux install USB, it would HAVE to be this one, surely?!

[-] ShankShill@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

More like DBAN

[-] laz@pawb.social 54 points 2 days ago

Blast from the past? Windows 8.1?

oh.

[-] NotSteve_@piefed.ca 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

True, though this does seem super dated for Windows 8. This company was releasing early XP shit in 2012+

^also wow windows 8 was released 13 years ago?^

[-] tautalas@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Yeah, same. Thought "oh, it's pretty recent" lol

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 days ago

The company is still around. They chose an interesting name for their Mac software. No Linux drive, though. Wonder why

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 15 points 2 days ago

Not sure if real or if I'm gullible

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

A witty one like you? No chance

[-] grueling_spool@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

You might be in trouble, though. Luckily for you, I'm selling an app that protects you from scams!

The MacWeenCleaners, such a shitty clan.

[-] Acamon@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I genuinely thought this was a joke way of packaging a Linux distro.

[-] lennee@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

love how its unlimited but limited in every way

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Should archive it and see if someone will do a decompile and analysis on it to see what it actually does.

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I'm betting it looks at things that run-on-startup and more to check if theyr'e not system mandatory turns that off second would probably be erasing temp files, since windows notoriously has temp file deletion, and lastly might (heavy might) delete objects like Downloads that you haven't opened for more than a year or so, assuming you simply forgot those

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 10 points 2 days ago

It's probably pretty scammy, but I love the design which is 1:1 that of an actual cleaning product.

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

It basically just did what CCleaner does. Defrag your HDD and clean up the registry.

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

CCleaner defrags only if you install their defrag app (the probably just calls the Microsoft tool on background)

[-] omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

Go scatter these on the floor at blackhat

[-] beirut_bootleg@programming.dev 7 points 2 days ago

My guy, that's not unlimited.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

win 8, the past i'd rather forget

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Windows 8 was just Windows ME2.

[-] JovialSodium@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 days ago

I'm curious what's on it. I'd guess it's just a storage device with an antivirus and some system cleanup utilities. And enforces it's restriction by storing a timestamp of when it was used.

I put in a low effort search trying to find out. Saw a couple of YouTube videos that might say, but not in a position to watch those right now. Also found a reddit thread asking the same question but the comments wouldn't load. Gave up at that point.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

If you still care, someone in here summarized it. And it’s about as worthless as you’d guess

[-] JovialSodium@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks! I gave it a read.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
