At least they can be forked if someone needs them enough.

It was the other way around for me. I used to dual boot into windows to play games but the constant switching was annoying. Although in my case, Windows lost. This happened about 15 years ago. And I never looked back.

Try WindScribe. You won’t regret it.

Or a snake bot, obviously.

A biblical-level… oh no.

And said trick ends when an attacker manages to socially-engineer their way in. (But maybe they’ll drop floppies instead of flash drives around the block this time)

Legacy hardware and operating systems are battle tested, having been extensively probed and patched during their heyday. The same can be said for software written for these platforms – they have been refined to the point that they can execute their intended tasks without incident. If it is ain’t broke, don’t fix it. One could also argue that dated platforms are less likely to be targeted by modern cybercriminals. Learning the ins and outs of a legacy system does not make sense when there are so few targets still using them. A hacker would be far better off to master something newer that millions of systems still use.

Tell me you know nothing about cybersecurity without telling me you know nothing about cybersecurity. Wtf is this drivel?
