It's not that easy. If they were migrating the OS and OTC software, it wouldn't be so problematic.
But they run millions of lines of custom code, purpose written for specific devices.
Changing OS would also require rewriting (and testing) all those specially apps.

That's sort of what they are doing with the free upgrade to Win10

I've personally defended Nakatomi Plaza from terrorists on several occasions.

...and apparently, strippers don't explode in a shower of cash when you shoot them.

Because a 'workshop' or 'shop' is something you would find at a trade or tech school for future blue-collar workers.

A 'makerspace', although functionally identical (except for the Starbucks cups laying around), sounds like place you can go to make cool stuff while you are waiting for your 19th Century French poetry class to start.

Video editing, image processing, or VFX.

Avid and Premier, Photoshop, and After Effects can use the CUDA processing power of this card.

Unless the hack on that USB stick forces the target machine to start radiating data on RF via its monitor or other peripherals.

Those radiations could then be read from an external pickup.
"Van Eck phreaking is a form of eavesdropping in which special equipment is used to pick up side-band electronic-magnetic emissions from electronics devices that correlate to hidden signals or data for the purpose of recreating these signals or data in order to spy on the electronic device. Side-band electromagnetic radiation emissions are present in, and with the proper equipment, can be captured from keyboards, computer displays, printers, and other electronic devices."

I agree. I'm an empirical test case on this. I'm running a 1080 projector onto a 10' screen, straight from Blu-Ray.

I can already see the film grain (on features shot on film.)

I don't feel like spending more for a new: projector/player/disk library just so I can see the film grain sharper.

Well, sorta.
*Technically '2K' is 2048 × 1080 (native resolution) = 2,211,840 pixels (i.e. 2K)
--or--
'2K' is 1998 × 1080 (flat resolution) = 2,157,840 pixels (also 2K)

1080 x 1920 isn't really 'officially' 2K, although it equals 2,073,600 pixels.

I'm sure you're right.
"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
Thomas Watson, president of IBM, 1943

I'm guessing he's referring to the English phrase "sixes and sevens" meaning everything is mixed up or FUBAR.

I first heard this in Gilbert And Sullivan's "HMS Pinafore":
"Fair moon, to thee I sing,
Bright regent of the heavens,
Say, why is everything
Either at sixes or at sevens?"

Probably archaic now...

You bought the burner @ Rite Aid?
Now, if they want to backtrack the phone to the POP, they will have lovely, multiple, security videos of your face.

At least give some random kid $5 bucks to go in the store and buy it for you.
Sort of the opposite of buying beer when you're a minor...
