I sense a fatigue in those vertical markets on the part of all involved.
Ad agencies can't shake a buck, users want more dancing bunnies, the silos are not news-friendly, and content is becoming vacuous except for the over-the-top shit that requires expensive human intervention to stave off government regulators.
I'm running XP at the house and still get security updates because, via registry hack, the computers think they are ATMs or POS.
The hack, as reported by ZDNet, fools Microsoft into thinking the system is running Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, a variant of XP that's used by ATMs and cash registers. Those systems will keep getting security updates until 2019.

GOOD NEWS!
We'll all be girding our loins and packing up our shit to migrate to less hostile environments.
Work is the presence of challenges that must be overcome.
One of those challenges will be that the nomads will be encroaching on lands that are already occupied.
War provides good jobs up and down the spectrum from aggression to defense.
... I'm pretty sure ...
A search engine could clarify that for you.
I snorted.
We have thought it out.
The quickest way for business to avoid cost is to decrease the workforce.
Wages, vacations, taxes, sick time, liabilities, 401(K), health benefits, sexual harassment ... poof ... all gone.
Your take that these are entry-level jobs is antiquated.
Heads of household are working several of these jobs to survive.
... FAKE NAME ....
Says AC.
You win.
It wasn't inane enough?
And yet you commented as well ...
Point taken.
I wonder where my pen is.
... local news in Facebook.
Facebook is not the fucking place to get the goddam news.
FACEBOOK, YOU ARE NOT MY REAL MOM!!!!
... is the lack of foresight on the part of American military.
We used to be better than this.
They don't have Twitter in shithole countries.
... long ago ...
Precisely my point.
On Sunday, May 21, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® said its final farewell ...
This.
And, as a taxpayer, former military grunt, and patriot, it's very disappointing that the government is being schooled after the fact.
... babysitter.
The problem isn't Twitter or the pussy-grabbing POTUS.
The problem is on the demand side for that kind of shit.
It's wearing thin and the market shows it.
I agree.

Why is this modded down?

Lots of ATMs still run XP.
95% of bank ATMs face end of security support (2014).
... is a depressing rabbit hole.
I recommend we don't scrape the slime off.
Let it fester in a vacuum.
It's public masturbatory narcissism.
... a whole new internet that is air-gapped from the current one that's connected to the whole fucking planet.
And, that's really the most interesting part.
... intel.
Did the workforce (include ALL support, manufacture, and operation) decrease?
It did not at Texaco, even after being sold and renamed for multiple decades.
That's because the FAA is either stupid (likely) or has a bias ...
You lost cred right there because you admit that you don't know which of those is the case and because you don't allow for other options.
I get the idea that AI would actually have to take over the FAA for that to happen.
I'm not optimistic.
