Tangentially, whether you replace it with another third-party antivirus/Internet security suite or go with the built-in Windows Defender ("Microsoft Defender" now?), uninstall the McAfee trialware that came preinstalled on your PC.

If you need yet another reason to quit Google Chrome and quit Google Search, there you go.

My current tech support patient has a bad case of TamperedChef.

It came in through a trojanized PDFEditor download.

My customer was tricked into downloading the trojan because it spreads through Google malvertising. The malicious ads appeared first, second, and third, and Google's ads are indistinguishable from organic search results.

The ads weren't blocked because my customer uses Google Chrome.

The installation wasn't blocked because my customer had an active McAfee subscription.

I tried downloading a car, but it crashed. Now I got a notification my modem device driver insurance rate went up.

I'd suggest turning the rich, especially warhawks, into humanitarian ration pouches, but they're neither kosher nor halal.

I'm eating a pouch of "U.S. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY COMMERCIAL RESALE IS UNLAWFUL" I purchased commercially from a bodega, and I'm wondering:

If the rich are going to send off our young people to die in yet another forever war in yet another foreign land because the people's skin isn't white and the liquid in the reservoirs under their feet is black, the surely there's a way we can feed our troops by cooking, canning, freeze-drying, and preserving the rich industrially into MREs.

rm -vir Mr_Morden/

means remove Mr_Morden and his associates, and show proof suitable for Vir Cotto.

CDE was commercial software born in the Unix Wars, so it was expected to have an integrated online user-oriented manual. One that's complete, comprehensive, and written for the end user, accessible from a very lightweight hypertext browser utility, is a high standard programmers and technical writers should strive for even today.

I am presently torturing myself with CDE. It's in FreeBSD's pkg repo and ports tree, and it provides a functional desktop, but it's too broken to be usable. The right-click menu is often incomplete, some tools crash and dump core, and Information Manager errors out with a configuration-related error message the 'Net has never written about.

That last one is sad because its command, dtinfo, runs just fine from the terminal emulator and reveals a complete and comprehensive help system library.

TIL Apple iOS will sometimes randomly alter a Mail account's IMAP settings, changing the SMTP authentication method from "Password" to "NTLM" for no reason.

@mavica_again This reads as both a depressing reality and a determined mission statement.
