Wasn't there an 80186? That literally nobody built anything with? Like, it was almost a proof of concept?

Just today I noted that GIMP 3.2.2 (an application, not an OS) has dropped support for 32-bit x86.

It actually is when you don't pay You Tube for premium access or whatever they call it. If you don't pay for that, every attempt to click ahead is likely to pull up a commercial or two before you see any video. In a 3 hour video, I can see how it's just not worth it. Crap, there are a few content providers I actually like and I'm not even willing to watch their 30 minute videos because those are that long just to maximize advertising money as others have said.

What's more, you really have to know what you're doing to coax it into re-using code, rather than rewriting the same functionality with each prompt.

Woz, despite his technical chops, had no influence after the Apple ][ days, so while he was initially influential, he hasn't been influential over most of Apple's history.

Oops - read that wrong - prices start at US 7K/year!

Huh... so the kid who's the CEO of his own botnet monitoring company (with prices starting at US 7k/month) looking for threats "stops" one of the most virulent botnet attacks in recent history?

"Benjamin Brundage is founder of Synthient, a startup that tracks proxy services and was the first to document Kimwolf’s unique spreading techniques. Brundage said the Kimwolf operator(s) have been trying to build a command and control network that can’t easily be taken down by security companies and network operators that are working together to combat the spread of the botnet." ...

"Meanwhile, Brundage said the good news is Kimwolf’s overlords appear to have quite recently alienated some of their more competent developers and operators, leading to a rookie mistake this past week that caused the botnet’s overall numbers to drop by more than 600,000 infected systems.
“It seems like they’re just testing stuff, like running experiments in production,” he said. “But the botnet’s numbers are dropping significantly now, and they don’t seem to know what they’re doing.”

How... convenient...

Oh, of course.

JavaScript is actually a pretty interesting, powerful language, but one with quite a few problems. (I recommend the book JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford if you want to learn more about that.) TypeScript solves some, but by no means all, of those problems. From what I've heard, it's increasingly popular.

Exactly! Adding a middleman always lowers the price. Everyone knows that!

What if nobody implemented it?

Then Microsoft and Apple among others would be fined per day until they implemented it; or perhaps even being held in contempt of court if the government sued them and won up to and including jail time for executives; or given the current regime, being designated a supply chain risk.

Even if the companies eventually prevail in court, most wouldn't want the hassle or being on the bad side of Orange Man.

I know. My point is that all the site should guarantee to the advertiser is transmission of the ad. What happens to it once it reaches my browser should be irrelevant.

There are sites I like and do not block ads because I want them to be around, and in the end they either need to paywall or run ads to stay in business.

But the company whose ad it is has already paid to be shown on the site, hasn't it? Why should they care whether I choose to block ads via my browser? I'm never going to click on any as anyway.
