we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
word is bad, and also law offices are the loving worst and will have very goddamn feature in use no security and at least our major revisions of office active, passing file back and forth.

no poo poo your document exploded when your office 365/2016 with change tracking doc was passed to the intern using word 2003, then a clerk running 2010, and finally tweaked on a partner's home office 2011 for mac

i haven't seen a law office using wordperfect since 2006. i've seen a lot of wordperfect files being jammed into word since then, but no one actively using wordperfect

does anyone use their voice assistant for anything other than timers and maybe sometimes alarms/reminders?

lawyers are generally extremely conservative* and get set in a workflow that they'll never change. I know a guy who writes out his briefs longhand and has people type them up. this usually leads to using out-of-date bespoke software setups

*not necessarily in the political sense; they're just trained to follow specific patterns and be suspicious of change

lawyers are second only to maybe doctors in terms of do not ever under any circumstances, on pain of death, change this workflow

unfortunately, they will also just allow poo poo to accrete and are perfectly comfortable letting everyone under them deal with whatever hacked up poo poo gets the job done the first time they need it, leading to huge loving messes

we're talking about a company that paid a huge fine in europe, settled it by agreeing to include a stupid browser ballot in europe-specific versions of windows, and then hosed up and forgot to include it in those versions of windows, thereby accruing another 700 million dollar fine.

it's kb4100347, so maybe it's a re-release of the patch of the same kb that was released in may, and it supersedes kb4346084 which was released at the end of last month, so maybe it's just a combination of those two updates

Consult with your device manufacturer and Intel via their websites regarding their microcode recommendation for your device before applying this update to your device.
