Our group? We're not a fucking hive mind. We're hundreds of millions of individuals from all around the world, most of whom are not billionaires or presidents.
There's nothing in there about Google Play and the security advisory only talks about updating to the latest version of Android. It's appalling that there are phones being sold today that will always be vulnerable to this attack.
I can't see any mention of a mitigation via the Play Store https://9to5google.com/2018/01... and manufacturers seem to be rolling out patches for some but not all devices.
Selling more watches than Rolex is an idiotic metric. More people can afford an iWatch than a Rolex. Oh, and turn off smart punctuation in your keyboard settings if you want to make your posts more legible.
Visual Basic is still very much alive but proves your point very well. Migrating to similar but incompatible software is hard and expensive and using Microcrapware as an argument won't get you very far when trying to switch.
If it was easy then loads of organisations would be switching. It's not inertia. It's actually difficult, time-consuming and expensive and the business benefits are hard to quantify when you end up with the same or less functionality than you had before.
So have the finance department. They won't still be on Excel 95. The difference is they'll be moving complex data structures to software that isn't completely compatible and required to do a lot of work for no appreciable advantage. The same could be said for a document production department that uses a lot of Word templates. If Libre Office was a drop-in replacement as is the common mistaken belief here, Microsoft Office would be dying already.
The finance department will be over the moon about having to port all those spreadsheets to another piece of software for no obvious benefit to them I'm sure. Don't pretend you can just open them up and they'll work the same.

The typo you made three times on a device that automatically corrects your spelling? How odd.
Turning off "smart" punctuation in your keyboard settings would be a smart move.
Tell both sides to stop behaving like spoiled brats.
Guarantee dude you spell it guarantee.

According to the first page of Google it's either a UK goth band or a 1986 film starring Jeremy Irons.

So they can patch the vulnerability we're talking about here then?
Can Google patch kernels via the Play Store?
Free as in your first thought isn't whether you can cover the copay.
That's why they've been shit for years

Rolexes of course being just as affordable as the iWatch...

But Microsoft don't have a monopoly. You have plenty of alternatives to choose from. Except you don't.
Move from Excel to what?
You don't need to plan. Just get one of the experts on here to do it all. It'll just take a weekend apparently.
Whatever floats your boat dumbass
FFS figure out how to turn off smart punctuation in your iOS keyboard settings before start sneering at anyone else.
I doubt Putin gives a shit about the random ramblings on Slashdot.
Flux-like?
