Genesplicer posted:I spent a month writing a grant to get the cash to set up a 40-computer learning lab, with Internet access. We got the grant, got the computers, got the Internet access (A fractional T-1 frame relay!) and within a month of letting kids get onto it, every single computer was laboring under the slowdown caused by BonziBuddy. Apparently, the district had not added some of the security software that we had specified, because they thought it was not necessary. Without the software, kids were free to add BonziBuddy (and lots of other malware) which pretty much wrecked the computers until the district relented and gave us the software. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiRaRy4Qq8g That sounds like an absolute goddamn nightmare, I went to a charter school in 9th grade where the math teacher was the IT guy, and didn't have the best security habits. The kid with Down's Syndrome who was always slyly loving with everyone did a lot of work on a computer set aside for just him because he had a habit of just straight up goin for porn on all the shared ones; and that computer was also the ghost image that the server downloaded onto all of them every morning. In hindsight, this was a very bad computer security decision. A few of my buddies and I used to get there early and LAN Mechwarrior 3 and Unreal Tournament 99, so cue our shock and uproarious laughter when we turned on 4 computers, they imaged; and then we were greeted with porn popups, bonzi buddy, loving every possible bad thing you could touch with IE. It took us all of 30 seconds to figure out exactly what happened and how, and we went and told our math teacher as soon as he got there so he could get ahead of it before a bunch of people logged on to computers and parents got scandalized. Dude was never allowed to use a computer unsupervised again after that; I only went there for a year, but according to people I know that graduated (and him at the reunion I went to) that policy was permanent lol MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Jun 15, 2022 |

Years ago I put Firefox on my parents computer and replaced the shortcut with the IE icon because to them that was "the Internet". So as far as they know, IE is still working and will continue working.

I'm fairly certain that iexplore.exe isn't ACTUALLY going away anytime soon. It's too intrinsically tied to Windows OS. Not sure about Win11, but I can't imagine they changed terribly much under the hood. Or are they actually changing the internals to use edge? I definitely get what looks like a suspiciously IE-esque embeded HTML interface when I mess around with group policies and poo poo...

As long as I have a free pass to ignore msie bullshit when building things, I don't really care if it's actually embedded or not. Now MS has to kill that stupid outlook renderer and my life will be even more improved Space Kablooey fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jun 16, 2022 |

One version of IE, I'm pretty sure it was 5, had a feature where a little red asterisk would appear to the left of any site in your bookmarks, if you visited the site, and it had changed since your last visit. That feature disappeared, never to return. I liked that feature.
