Exactly. I was perfectly happy with Python 2.7.x. That forced move to 3.x was disheartening. I have a large code base invested in 2.x and don't really want to port everything to 3.x, for no added value. Doesn't work that way in the enterprise.

Some big company do care about their employees (and real ones, not subcontractors). Look at Costco for example.

This would be an interesting premise for a crime lab / CSI type movie. Just add some murder, treason, shared love interest and all the tropes are there.

In Canada (maybe US also?), you get a 7 days free trial of Disney+. Unless you don't have or want to give your CC number, there are zero reason to Torrent the first episode of the Mandalorian.

The guillotine ?

Yeah I gave up on Plex a few years ago when it was starting to become annoying with mandatory account, and it was becoming clear they were moving away from "do your own media server with a cool interface".

I used to think that way ... until I did get hit by a ransomware. I figured they got in via a vulnerability in Windows 7, since only my Windows 7 machines got hit. My Windows 10 and Server 2012R2 machines were not breached. I was lucky, I had backups and managed to recover without loosing anything significant, but still it took weeks to scramble and rebuild machines from images, some dated a while back, reapplying updates, etc... It was a huge wake up call, and I have since begun to harden security even more. But still, I feel at some point law enforcement, government and regulations will have to step in, because this is causing serious harm to citizens and businesses. We do not tolerate such things happening in the physical world (theft, burglary, etc). So why should we feel it's business as usual in the virtual world ?

That's a terrible way to recall an email.

More acquisitions than mergers, but successful nonetheless: Google + YouTube (in hindsight a very good one), Facebook + Instagram (1 billion seemed ludicrous at the time. Looks like a bargain now), Google + Android, Microsoft + Skype

You have an R9 290X and you waste it on games? Ever heard of scrypt coin mining (Litecoin, Dogecoin, etc.) ? This card could pay for itself in a few weeks or months mining 24/7.

4. Alien species already visited us and most people didn't notice. (Hints: Pyramids, crop circles, abductions, ...) 5. They came, and are living among us, with fake skin hiding their reptilian-like nature.

Or maybe alse: In Soviet Russia, Vista powers down YOU!
