Strong typing and security wasn't the big problems for Java, and the lack thereof in JavaScript is one reason to avoid it if necessary.
The problem with Java as a plug-in was that it had to load the JRE and download a kiloton of libraries before executing. A process that could take minutes and you as a user never knew if it was normal or if something had crashed.
It was Flash that did this a lot better from a user perspective where the response was in seconds instead of minutes. But with security gaps worse than anything else.
Their behavior is not much different from IBM before Lenovo took over the PC business. Slow and sluggish reaction providing crappy hardware with custom OS.
Only difference was that the OS at the time of IBM was so riddled with insecurities that any added tools didn't matter.
There is a reason to do a clean install from an uncontaminated media just to make sure.
However I was a bit confused by the title of the article - when first reading I thought that Lenovo didn't want people to upgrade from a tool with security holes.
The Brexit didn't address the core problem - the ignorance by the central organization in Brussels that effectively is a retirement home for politicians that have failed on home turf.
The EU is a heaven for lobbyists and the organization have little awareness of the reality of the middle and lower class in Europe.
The limit for the telescope is more a question of when the gyros gives out and the fuel that is used to keep it in orbit runs out. Since the retirement of the space shuttle it's unfortunately a matter of time.
Then it's time for the central EU to re-evaluate their positions and their strategies. Today they are usually seen as a kindergarten for retired politicians.
Just make sure that re-sale is not valid, anyone showing up at concert with a ticket need to prove that they purchased it through a valid channel by also presenting the credit card used for the purchase.
That worked in the 70's and maybe 80's, but today it's absurd considering the over the counter available tech that exists combined with the manufacturing being in east Asia now and only a small part of the high tech manufacturing is done in the US or Europe.
Well, git is a tool, but it's for source control, not managing users.
The problem of managing multi-project multi-site development seems to be very much like what we do at work. A lot of overhead and processes that not really fits anyone. Nobody has a really good picture and the system team that shall hold this together have some crazy notion about that Enterprise Architect shall be used to structure the requirement perspective.
The only reason that we do get something that works is that some people works their asses off and other people stands as gatekeepers and quenches the wildest requests.

And anyone that have watched Star Trek (TOS) just leans back and watches the spectacle with amusement.
However when the pedestrian is a moose you may want to revise your thinking.

You can stop a train by making a phone call.
The trust is already broken, and I have disabled Windows Updates now.
You're welcome!
Or 3D-scanned a gun of the same type.
Or whenever they ask, use national characters making up words like "räksmörgås". It would be interesting to see them trying to type that.
That's a very flawed analogy since the bike sequential gear shifter design does not involve a position for safety.
As soon as you have a system for safety you need to have a solution that clearly indicates that it has a safe position.
And who's using it on server side?

And Microsoft tried to push vbscript in the browser, but that's even worse than JavaScript.
I'm not sure why anyone would use JavaScript anywhere else but in a browser. And even there it's not really a good language.
CP/M-86 would be fine. At least the amount of malware is small.

Sometimes the practical use will be revealed a lot later and result in new discoveries.
If you stop being curious then it's time to close the shop.

The thing they don't tell is that they will use it to crack encryption. Look out for certified hardware drivers for devices made in China.

That would only be working if you are stoned beyond belief.
And IE is smart as a brick.
I haven't used it yet. Maybe I will have to use it to download Firefox in the future.
Just because a browser is power-efficient doesn't mean that it's smart or useful.
