People move away from TV because networks butcher and cut movies so they can show them before watershed, turn to Netflix and Amazon to finally see them fully and then hire a company that does the same butchering that the TV networks did?
If stupidity would squeak, some people would have to sleep in an oil can.
What makes the protocol problematic is that it is not only ancient but also hasn't been in use by anyone in a more or less productive environment for nearly as long as it exists. The problem here is that with a lack of use, a lack of auditing comes along. An things that don't get audited because nobody really relies on them also get very little scrutiny when it comes to their security flaws.
Then the least they could do is ship newer version with ancient protocols and support for ancient crap DISabled by default. If you need it, enable it. I think the one person out of a million that actually still needs protocols that have been read in "ancient history 101" can be bothered to click "enable" once.
Sure. Just up the price to cover the legal problems and settlement fees and you're set. Why bother change the software? In the end, the whole shit is a matter for risk management, not engineering.
And just like the price hike with medical devices, it will be mostly to cover the additional cost for legal battles and settlements. Life has a price, ya know...
Like the drawback of not using Google so the Google-login doesn't work? There are quite some advantages in convenience if you stay in the "Google Family".
I need not disprove a believe system. It's enough to just disbelieve it. And that's trivially easy by simply not believing it.
Things I have personally not observed but have been observed by others can be learned if I'm so inclined. I need not observe a black hole forming to follow the explanation of someone who observed it, studied it, formulated a hypothesis, tested it, postulated a theory and elaborated on it.
That does not mean I believe him, it means I follow his explanation until I understand it. If it passes the test, it can be incorporated into the collection of knowledge.
That's our post-capitalist model. In a truly, fully capitalist society, you can't even make a profit anymore because the market would not allow it.
We'er not in a capitalist society, though. Capitalism is much like communism. A nice idea, but it's never been fully realized, only flawed versions ever existed. The flaws in real existing capitalism are just less damning to the system.
Take a wild guess who'll be next on the EU chopping block. They're already being minced for their telemetry, more fuel is only going to make the cake sweeter.

Nope. It's like fucking your wife, if you want your offspring to be yours, you have to do it yourself, too.
Who'd have thought that the unreasonable fear of "eeeek, icky pron!" would actually do some good?
Compare the price of a SpaceX Falcon 9 to the average PC. It's not only the rocket fuel, ya know...
But... but ... but ... Terrist?
Mrs. May? Could we have your statement on this matter?
What, every court has its jester, and just 'cause she doesn't want to be part of the court anymore doesn't mean we can't laugh about her!
Not quite. Using adblockers in your browser is like skipping the part where Bambi's mom dies by pushing fast forward on the remote.
If you want a comparable scenario, you'd have to pay some service to act as your proxy to do the filtering for you.
Well duh.
The rest of the nation is smart enough to get their depraved porn for free from the internet, because they aren't dumb enough to pay to filter it.
So ... you don't want to watch TV?

And ENable by default showing file extensions and showing "hidden" files while you're at it!
So in other words you could not be assed to update the security of your printers for years until it finally broke connectivity?
Just so I know what I should avoid like the plague, what copier manufacturer are you working for?
No, of course not. How old is IPv4?

To their defense, SMBv1 support isn't remotely as annoying as Clippy, most likely most people never noticed its existence.

This price hike won't either.

Now only the laws of your country must allow that.
And since companies are not really known for sitting on costs, expect software (and hardware) prices to skyrocket.
We'll essentially get shrink-wrap contracts that basically say "This software can't do shit, if you use it regardless, sucks to be you."
In other words, what we already have.
Or have some tap water right after arriving in Mexico, you wouldn't believe how your body adjusts and how you can stay awake.
What do you mean "in those terms"? It is one, it has all the characteristic qualities.

The accumulation of capital is, funny enough, an attempt to eliminate the market regulations that capitalism provides.
