    Who in their right mind would run flash?

    Fixed that for you.

  5. I've started adding auto-play video domains to my hosts only a few months ago, adding domains manually every time. I think I only have about 50 in my list and it's already pretty rare to see something auto-play.

    Yes it's easier if you get your hosts file somewhere else, but from my own habits and from what I've read, most people only visit a small number of known websites so it's not like adding domains to hosts is a permanent job.

    You don't even need file corruption (wait, Word/Excel/etc can corrupt files?!), version incompatibility is annoying enough.

    Well, there is - but you won't like it.

    That's the number for "Web Developer Survey Results 2016". Of course the results will be skewed compared to regular users.

    If you look at the "Desktop/Laptop operating system browsing statistics", macOS is at 11.59% for all versions. The total number for Windows 7 and up is 78.87%.

    Well since the frequency of your wife's birthday is around 1/31536000 Hz, you can always say you rounded that event to zero, which means that while you never tell her "happy birthday" it also means she never ages.

    They did not connect to the unprotected networks (i.e. networks that are open, by design). They also did not connect to the weakly protected networks (which would have been illegal, but their point was that hackers and foreign governments could easily access them).

    A solar flare did take out electric grids in eastern Canada and U.S.A. a few decades ago.

    And if you look at this image you can clearly understand the scale of big flares. Sure, we're not that close to the Sun (far from it), but size-wise if it went directly toward the Earth and didn't dissipate enough by the time it got here, I don't think anything would be able to save us.

    Unless the flare happened at night, of course.
