For once no one is blaming Canada.
shareπ€π Tee-hee!
I have never blamed Canada for anything.
Today?
shareNope. I blame our antiquated systems and lack of proper maintenance and upgrades.
People today are so naΓ―ve, thinking bad things will never happen to them/us/the US. And they don't want to spend the $$ to maintain just about everything. π (Sorry, don't mean to sound political.) π¬
Unless there is a change in working parameters, exactly what benefits are you missing out on? Sure many of these embedded systems are still using windows xp, but you don't seem to be considering the cybersecurity part more of it is just too old to keep working.
shareI'm not saying I miss out on any benefits. But I do care about society in general.
shareIwas trying to counter the always update mantra by pointing out unless there is a benefit to be gained l, it doesn't matter much, yes, updating can decrease matintenance costs of supporting legacy systems.
We love our legacy systems of course and it costs us more to maintain them in the long run but they work forvfhftbeebneed and ripping the bandaid off doesn't come with any immediate benefits, we will eventually need to, but it is easiier to sell and package modulatity in a needed performance upgrade than ssying we need to make it modular n9wfor a potential performance upgrade we don't need now but will at some point in the future
forvfhftbeebneed? Sorry, but what does this mean?
shareFor the current need.
Systemsdon't crash just because they are old you need to be doing something that they cannot support, until we need to upgrade upgrading for upgrading for rbupgadings sakedoes not transfer enough short term benefit
βrbupgadings sakedoesβ Sorry, but what does this mean?
shareI actually enjoy trying to figure out her typos. I make a fun game out of it trying to see if I'm right lol.
until we need to upgrade upgrading for upgrading's sake, does not transfer enough short term benefit.
I think I fully got it that time!! ππ
