Dammit dad. What did you do to the computer this time.

@fortecadenza Whatever he did, it's your fault.

@fortecadenza My dad updated Mozilla Firefox all by himself today because, and I'm quoting him: "you said I should always keep everything up-to-date". I'm proud of him.

@omni You could always show him http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2458544 and https://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/

@ceruleanspark I suppose this is a "one-program-to-update-everything" thing similar to the Package Managers we have under GNU/Linux systems?

@omni Yeah. It's probably not as neat though. The exploit mitigation toolkit I found this morning and found genuinely interesting though. The description makes it sound like apparmor or something, but I'm sure that's not how it works

@ceruleanspark Huh. Well, I'd rather not install more stuff on the Windows systems of which I can't be 100% sure it won't give any false positives or the likes and breaks something again, and I'm running GNU/Linux-libre myself, so I don't see that going to be installed any time soon. Still, seems semi-interesting.

@omni It's just something I plan to keep in mind for people who say "Oh but I have to run this network connected piece of unpatched decade old software".

@ceruleanspark Sounds like a good idea
