The Full Nerd Special Edition: Windows 11 security

In this episode of The Full Nerd, Gordon Ung and Adam Patrick Murray interview security professional Mike Danseglio and talk about everything from Windows 11 security to Mac OS and Linux.

The crew first hear Danseglio’s thoughts on whether leaving old hardware behind in Windows 11 was valid or not. The short answer? No. During the wide-ranging interview, The Full Nerd crew also discuss what the greatest security problem always is and if Mac OS or Linux is more secure than Windows.
