Treating your server as pet may perfectly fine. Not everything has to be fully automated cloud cluster cattle.

Most non-tech people I know listen to podcasts through Spotify and some think Spotify invented them.

Looking how podcasts advertise themselves, those who do use RSS advertise "Apple Podcasts or in your favorite podcast app" here.

Nitpick: I think known file extensions where hidden in Explorer since at least Windows 95

That filibustering is still a valid political instrument is so weird as a non american. Maybe the us wouldn't be in this mess if it wouldn't cling to political process from the 1800s

That sounds like a lot like an addiction.

Maybe we need to create "Methadone apps" to help people slowly get off the Pavlovian dopamine machine?

Why not just running a shell script? Is there a benefit doing this on a cluster?

I think the mispronunciation may stem from the intended pun/wordplay: What's up? -> WhatsApp

So, Back Orifice wasn't hidden in other executables, but passed on by making people download and install it in all awareness?

Didn't know that. Thanks for telling me instead attacking me like OP :/

Thanks for taking the time to elaborate... and for the insights! I don't know why my initial post is received that aggresively, maybe I miscommunicated something.

I only know the mostly autogenerated MSN Developer Resources. not helpful.

Do they really do that? Or is this hyperbole? I just skimmed some of the 2017 bulletins (aren't there newer ones?) and did not find sleazy marketing.

Not that I can't imagine Microsoft actually doing that...

> I haven't seen a more blatant exposure/confirmation of the deep-seated authoritarian control-freak mindset that has permeated the whole computing industry.

Can I use this as a testimonial? Chill... at least if you want me to discuss this further.

> Yes, back then it was common and expected that users were responsible for their own decisions.

You do not chose and decide to be victim of a scam. At least I presume the "if you wouldn't have downloaded hacker stuff from weird websites you wouldn't have caught malware" was as wrong back then as it is now and is just shifting the blame to the user.

Wow. Totally unprofessional when you compare it with today's security bulletin standards. This downplays risks and blames the user. Was this common back then?
