Yeah, just the DRM modules for Netflix and other protected content.

Plugins were *NOT* extensions. They were code that was executed outside the browser process. Extensions are entire inside the browser "sandbox."

Huh. The only "exclusive" thing on VMware is the DRS automatic migration of VMs between physical hosts based on load.
That and VMware HA.

Any reasonable IT shop could live without both.

CA once had a great anti-malware suite back a long time ago.

That is simply nonsense and is a conclusion made by people who can't do math and don't realize Adobe licenses are annual, not one-time like the conversion cost.

Plugins? Don't you mean Extensions?

Plugins have been gone for many years now.

Why did they remove JPEG XL from Chrome in the first place?

And if a rogue AI agent actually *causes* one of those more damaging attacks, what then? "To err is human, but to really fsck things up takes a computer" and all that?

What seems to be missing here isn't just any clarity in legislation about liability for AI agents, especially labs running frontier models who seem to get free legal passes that would absolutely not be afforded to regular plebs who - potentially entirely by accident - cause an agent to hack someone else, but any serious discussion about putting those legal frameworks in place is also lacking. Seriously, WTF is up with that? How many incidents that are clearly in breach of existing computer misuse legislation do we need to get some action here, either under existing laws (including, potentially, civil law) or to start working on tweaks to existing laws to provide some specific clarity relating who is liable for any misuse of AI agents?

I get the AI labs almost certainly have a tacit "don't sue us, and we won't sue you" agreement in place for things like this to try and avoid regulation they definitely do not want because their actions are quite obviously not aligned with the regulation they are claiming they want put into place. Third parties like South Korean banks are under no such terms however, and given they are in the financial sector (or health sector in another recent example) probably have legal obligations of their own as well, so again - why are we not even hearing of any talk of legal action?

They didn't even activate the Emergency Alert System in the Washington DC area during 9/11.

We were all in the dark, relying on stupid rumors on the local talk and news stations for HOURS.

Why would I go listen to the radio when I'm broken down on the side of the road? What are you talking about?

It is really fun, but it kills the HD Radio signal. That's why most AM stations turn off their HD Radio signals at night.

Not to mention the 6-10 second delay in hybrid mode (3-8 seconds on full MA3 HD) making HD Radio practically useless when watching sporting events.

We have two full HD Radio AM stations here in DC:
WFED 1500 and WSHE 820.

They use HD Radio's "MA3" mode.

Fun fact: WSHE 820 (then WWFD) was the first all-digital HD Radio AM station in America.

Younger generations gave up on radio because it sucks.

I'm gen X, and I despise radio so much that every time I've ever replaced a head unit, I've left the antenna disconnected. If radio was just music I could probably tolerate it, but I can't handle the ads and pretend DJ's.

For emergency purposes there are portable wind up radios in the emergency kits. Completely unused, in original packaging, because where I live the closest thing we have to natural disasters is winter storms that shut down the roads.

I'm still bitter from the Reddit Is Fun debacle where Reddit implemented a pay-as-you-go model for anyone using their API, killing the app.

Xbox is like MSNBC.
Microsoft said they never made a dime from either one.
