Needs to be taken on. It's servers are in China, the encryption turned out to server based (open at their end to siphoning and surveillance), and governments everywhere are using it for top-level meetings, some classified, all invite-only, notably the UK.

Are we just stupid?

They are still selling devices that run of space as soon as Windows 10 updates itself, it's disgusting. I knew things were getting bad when Windows 8 went the way it did, Windows 10 is the nail in the coffin, I hope. And with the death of Microsoft someone will open source Windows 7 and we can do incremental fixes on that, instead!

Nothing we can do about except what I have done, use Lunix (sic) for serious work and personal affairs, and Windows 7 Pirate Edition for games!

He's running Windows 10, not Windows 7 Pirate Edition, fixed that for you...

I'm pretty sure we've been around this sequence of events once already, the name Netscape springs to mind... how can M$ possibly think they will get away with it?

This is almost exactly what actually happened, except it was China unleashing it on the rest of the world whilst closing regional borders inside China!

Their expatriates bought up PPE in many countries in January and February, and flights continued to come out of Wuhan for months after they locked it down internally.

Non-Amstrad users should note the use of the semicolon after the "HELLO ", this tells Locomotive BASIC to not print the Chr$(13)+Chr$(10), forcing my name to appear on the same line, which could be achieved without using the multiline operator using a space instead - this is someone who had an Amstrad, has a sense of humour, and wanted me to be happy. Thank you again!

I was hampered by the choice my father made (CPC464, greenscreen) in some ways, but benefited in others, it taught me to workaround limitations and succeed as an underdog. Thank you for your reply, it made me smile!

Damn, came here to say this, my early obfuscation technique involved blocks of code delimited by semicolons, not Chr$(13)+Chr$(10) (Amstrad heritage!)

These articles dont support the assertion at all, comparing total number of deaths to tiny countries isnt scientific, and at worst it is misleading. Sweden is doing ok.

Second

The double-angled-bracketed CARRIER LOST meme has been stripped from my post, ruining the joke. Sorry about that.

Wow lets just let that sink in. I'm carrying over a terabyte of storage, many megaflops of cpu, and billions of high res LED pixels with me when I go camping, or bugout, all on 5vdc and solar or hand crank. Wow. I'm a god damn portable civilisation. I have my oil stones and anvil, too. From my cold, dead, >
