If anti-trust is still a thing after the next 3 years.

That AAAA to you!

And if any of it is true, they'll be the ones wondering why they didn't get taken because they're such good little christians.

The main settings that I mentioned are under integration services settings on the VM. There's probably plenty of guides available on YouTube for Hyper-V along with the official Microsoft documentation (which probably isn't that great).

Hyper-V is the hypervisor that the VM runs on. Yeah I don't really know which malware scanners are the go to ones anymore. Just figure if I can get it to pass through 2 different ones ok then it's probably ok. I'm sure there's some other good ones out there. I've heard of ESET and virustotal, but I'm not familiar.

I use Hyper-V because I run server 2022 and it's free. Hyper-V allows you to disable any host resource sharing in the VM settings.

On my sandbox VM I'll scan the files then install and scan, then run the software and scan. I use both defender and I think malwarebytes. It's a lot of extra work for no gain, but I'd rather be too careful than risk installing malware.

This is what I do. I have a VM for torrents and a VM sandbox to check stuff that I'm concerned about. At the host level I disable any type of sharing with the host, no copy paste, no sharing disks, nothing. The VM only gets the storage I assign to it and once I validate then I'll detach and mount it to the host.

3 weeks and ~90 hours in. Currently speedrunning new game+ to get that level 99 achievement. After 90 ish it's pretty slow.

Hence...grain of salt

Saw on another post that the new price point they are looking at is $599. Nothing confirmed so take with a grain of salt.

New isekais coming out daily, it's out of hand.
