yes, I mean the 100% safe choice is to nuke the whole windows and reinstall but that's a ton of work depending on setup of someone.

Yeah, I didn’t found it but I was on one of the affect versions of that time period (July 2025), however I had my auto-update settings disabled, which seems to be the mechanism but I also don’t remember disabling them lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Full scan on Windows defender yes, but also malwarebytes (trial version should suffice), also saw some people recommending a ESET full scan which can take a few hours.

yes it seems so. but judging from several sites they did not target everyone but mostly groups in Asia. probably not to rise sus while they grabbed value targets. better to fully uninstall, download new patched version from site and run virus/malware scan etc. notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacke...

In case you missed yesterday, Notepad++ auto-update mechanism was hacked and was delivering backdoored versions for a couple months. Tons of devs use this, uninstall completely what you have, search for the sus files mentioned in article and only download from official site
Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked
Suspected China-state hackers used update infrastructure to deliver backdoored version.

Because most people can’t tell the difference and there’s not enough content; streaming platforms (Netflix etc) content have much lower bitrate than a Bluray. Most Games on consoles can barely hold 4k at 30fps and even that needs upscaling sometimes.

There is no longer an official way since eShop 3DS closed. Because of that, don’t say I said it, but I’m not against people “obtaining” it.

I actually went back to test it on 3DS devKit were I had to ditch thumbs all together (for save constraints as well though). Speaking of which, the 3DS version is still my personal favorite. Dual screen!!!

Randomly while working on something else, it occurred to me why QoD save thumbnails could get corrupted, one of the bugs that have been there for the longest time. I need to eventually push a new build with this and some tweaks in the next few weeks or months (depending on time).

Resuming my Resident Evil 4 Remake play-through after stopping due to breaking knives, and its growing on me actually, which I’m surprised since I hated that in BotW until the end of the game. Also playing this now reminds me how incredible RE4 on GC was back in the day.
