Time and time and time again it has been proven that the biggest IT security risk is people.
The OS doesn't make a blind bit of difference, if some idiot decides to open a nasty attachment in an e-mail -- which is how the by-far (up around wishful SLA percentage figures) hugest number of infections is caused.
All this BS about patching is a bloody joke, to anyone who knows anything at all about security.
It's users who need educating, not OSes that need "updating" to ever more unusable versions (hey, winio, guess whom I'm looking at!).
And it's antivirus apps that need to be supported and kept up to the latest versions, not icons and emoji collections.

We have several still going here and no interest in replacing them. They work fine just as they are. One key factor to that : windows updates were disabled a long time ago.

The 2.80 release is dedicated to everyone who has contributed to Blender. To the tirelessly devoted developers. To the artists inspiring them with demos. To the documentation writers. To the Blender Cloud subscribers. To the bug reporters. To the designers. To the Code Quest supporters. To the donators and to the members of the Development Fund. Blender is made by you. Thanks! Major release from them. I was waiting for this one. For Animation fans.

What about the icon designers?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
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?

I meant why didn't the release page you quoted thank the icon designers for their heroic work in making everything look randomly a bit different than the last version.

A crystal ball presentation on the future of application security at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit this year caught the eye of us in the software security space. I predict hacks. And cracks. And stacks of whacked racks.
Oh wait. It's Gartner. So the opposite of all that.

Jeeze, my eyes ended up going around in circles, going through that indigestible pap.
Maybe it hacked my visual cortex.

It's all about the connectivity between particles, just like mapping social networks. Because like the Higgs Boson, good ideas on Twitter only last a femtosecond before decaying?
And the resulting particles are all toxic?

Why too many tech companies under-invest in QA testing and what can be done about it. Oh! *TESTING* before release? Why has no one thought of this before?

Because new icons...
(Bad/no testing aggravates me to no end; having a good tester trying to prove my code is sh*t really is a wonderful thing. My goal, of course, is to prove s/he's worthless as a tester.)

Users will still find something not working as it should. Don't underestimate the power of the clueless morons that randomize the usage of your app.

For example, my father. Funny thing is that he has a PhD and built a computer in the 80s to gather data from some test samples (it was cheaper and easier to use than the HP hardware.) Problem is that he overthinks everything.

I never called him a "clueless moron", but came close. To be fair, the last time he screwed up his computer in a spectacular way, he apologized to me and said he would be a good tester. (And the last time he asked how to do something crazy, he looked at my long list of specific instructions that had to be done in order and decided to not do it.)

I know what you mean... 
The worst are those who know a bit about computers.
It is not know enough to be safe, but it is enough to be really dangerous.
