I expect mostly because 'it just works'. Except now, it used to just work unless you deploy a registry key change.

This is more likely to be a problem in small workgroup environments where everyone is configured as an admin and all the credentials are the same on every machine/server.

This sort of shop generally won't have a managed patch system or test environment either so will get the patches immediately, and it's broken everything.

I see both sides of this argument, Microsoft has plugged a security hole, but it's broken something that used to work. Weird as it is, I'm kind of on Microsofts side with this one.

Re: I do not understand investors

You should watch 'Something Ventured'. It's odd to say but it's a genuinely engaging documentary about the pioneers of venture capitalism.

These people invested in the likes of Cisco, Apple and Intel and made an enormous amount of money in the process. I can't imagine any of the people featured investing in a company where the business plan is solely to be bought out by one of the digital behemoths - yet here we are...

Bloody stupid, but sadly not unsurprising.

I had the issue on my E Series TV, no access to internet based content, despite the internet working fine on every other device.

I'm surprised you had an issue with an app to access local content, though. I use Plex and it worked just fine - which kept the missus happy.

I would suggest not just the remake but the sequels of Karate Kid, too.

And to vent an unpopular opinion, I thought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was great, it was the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory that I dislike. A multitude of reasons, but the naming particularly ticks me off, and the family singing is just awful (The riff trax of this is with Neil Patrick Harris, and it's brilliant)

Re: RE: Daley Thompson & joysticks

Quickshot II's (Had an original and a Turbo) were great for any of the joystick waggle-o-thon's. They were chunky and comfortable, but unfortunately couldn't really handle the abuse.

For everything else my weapon of choice was the zipstik. I probably still have it somewhere, and I bet the steel-shafted, yellow buttoned beast still works.

Worth a go

We had a similar problem, in our case the culprit was KB976569, had to remove this from all machines via scripts, because WSUS can't uninstall it.
