    " 'They can't take the current version of Windows, and #Windows10 no longer gets security updates,' Arford explained. [Um, Sheldon, have you heard of #Linux ?]

    "The business owner joined advocates and lawmakers for a mock memorial service focused on electronics that stopped working after their software expired, such as Windows 10 computers, #vacuums, #VideoGames, and over a dozen #Kindle models."

  14. Secret Kill Switch on Chinese Buses

    Test results showed that the Chinese bus maker had access to the vehicles' control systems for software updates and diagnostics.

    Each day at around 6 pm, you receive a call from someone who dialled the wrong number. It is always a different person. Over time, the callers become increasingly less likely.
