I just updated a certain not particularly wanted runtime that to avoid naming names I'll call Dumpster Fire on my PC, and it launched a tab in one of my browsers in an attempt to confirm that it had infected the browser too:
Quote: Verify Dumpster Fire Version
The Chrome browser does not support NPAPI plug-ins and therefore will not run all Dumpster Fire content. Switch to a different browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari on Mac) to run the Dumpster Fire plug-in. More info
A when the url was copied over second browser reports:
Quote: Verify Dumpster Fire Version
We are unable to verify if Dumpster Fire is currently installed and enabled in your browser.
If you have installed Dumpster Fire and there is an error with the verification, there could be a configuration issue (eg. browser, Dumpster Fire control panel, security settings) or the Dumpster Fire plug-in is blocked by the browser. Try restarting your browser before trying to verify the installation again, and check that the browser allows Dumpster Fire to run.
Now if I could just free my system as a whole from it, but I can't because I might need to do Android dev at some point in the future.
PS While it was installing I noticed that the version of the Dumpster Fire installer I got no longer claimed "over billion devices" ran Dumpster Fire. I wonder why they chose to remove it.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Dumpster Fire is a coffee flavor.
JavaScript gives you a false sense of safety. It's like riding a bike with those little side wheels and then riding head first into a ravine.

Yup, also a major island, not that anyone here needed either hint.

Dead giveaway, since it is advertised on each non-update.

I regularly get the request to download the latest version of Dumpster Fire, and when I accept it promptly tells me I already have the latest version. And IT want to build core systems on this piece of crap!

Do you still need the Dumpster Fire runtime installed if you use an AeroKidney* IDE? I know AeroKidney* IDE's don't need a separate Dumpster Fire installation, they've got one properly sandboxed quarantined inside the IDE process.

Kudos for the extraordinarily appropriate name.

It was a term too good to not spread beyond the cluster elephant that domestic politics have turned into over the last half year. The target for doing so was obvious.

That's impressive!

Don't whine and start running! 
Once a someone said to me: "if you can run 10 km then you can also run the half-marathon. If you can run the half marathon then you can run the full one" (or something like that).

At 85 the man is significantly faster than I was at 35, which was 20 years ago  .

Well done Ed.
Someone had to run it, and glad it was not me.
