Microsoft begs you to stop using Internet Explorer
In a blog post, Microsoft senior cybersecurity architect Chris Jackson said continuing to use Internet Explorer is racking up companies a ton of "technical debt." Essentially, by continuing to use IE, organizations are creating additional costs down the line by selecting the easiest, most convenient solution now rather than the approach that is best for the long term. Jackson laid out a scenario in which a company, choosing the easiest possible route since Internet Explorer 6, goes to make a webpage today and ends up using a 1999 implementation of web standards by default.

He is an old-money political appointee. Other than being skilled at bullshitting and the ole' Wine and Dine, he can barely function. My desk partner literally had to show him how to unlock a car when the battery on his fob died, literally ever single virus breakout we've had starts with him, he routinely falls for phishing attempts, and he claims to be gluten-free, but has no problem eating the gluten-loaded wheat toast after using the "gluten-free" setting on the office toaster.
