Demorats are setting us up for the internet blackout and blaming it on attacks by others because once the audit(s) are finished and leaks start coming out, they will want to shut the information train down.

Microsoft? Support Gates Inc?
No thanks.
I wish I could remember the last time my Mac had to update for “security” reasons.

Hypothetically, what would need to happen for use of Microsoft software being used for anything critical to be properly viewed as a national security vulnerability?

I wonder if any of these issues are the cause of the problems that started in my laptop last Sunday. I’m getting lots of warning windows saying, “Windows Defender has blocked this program ...” Also, I have lost use of the taskbar on the bottom of the screen - no volume control, no search, no response to Start button.
I took it to Staples today for analysis. They couldn’t find problem; suggested a new computer and warned against trying to recover my files to load onto new unit. I see a memorial service in the near future for my Toshiba Satellite (sigh).

I wish I could remember the last time my Mac had to update for “security” reasons. As a fellow Mac user, may I respectfully suggest that you aren't paying enough attention, or perhaps have notifications turned off. MacOS gets security updates fairly regularly. Not as often as Windows, but that's in part because Apple batches them up after a couple months instead of the second Tuesday of every month. MacOS updates are usually big because they wrap a lot of fixes into them.
Please don't fall into complacency just because you aren't running Windows. MacOS and Linux aren't flawless -- all software, all operating systems, all applications, all have security issues.

If you get a new one, don’t trash the one you have now, upgrade it to Linux ;)
