Sure, but this isn’t geochemistry it’s the most popular desktop OS in the world that the person in this scenario ostensibly owns and uses. In addition, they’re using it for the famously risky practice of piracy so you’d expect a modicum of caution.

I absolutely have, and if they infected themselves with The.Odyssey.2026.1080p.AMZN.WEBDL.H265.exe I would absolutely make fun of them.

Can’t argue that, but hopefully it’d be motivation for them to look at what they’re opening.
