Do I really need to buy a new copy of Windows because my Lenovo system restore installs a version of Windows (build 1511) that is too old to upgrade???
I know folks who are getting text messages from the Mike Bloomberg campaign and the basic reaction is “wtf?”. Can’t the sender and campaign be compelled to disclose how the receiver’s phone number was obtained?
So now instead of having three different ways to refer to a version of Android, we only have two. This is an improvement. Perhaps when Google switches over to Fuchsia they will simply go by the API version number and ditch semantic versioning as well.

Gotta love the No Agenda Troll Room: asked @adam if it's too late to request job finding karma -- 22 years a programmer and can't seem to get an interview right now. One of the trolls replies "Learn to mine coal!" Gotta admit that's funny...

@adam Not all apps with this unfurling "feature" allow you to turn it off; I use Signal and Wire, both of which let the user to disallow this behaviour.
@adam Regarding being infected on WhatsApp without clicking on malware: a lot of apps have an "unfurling" process reads the content of a file that comes across to display a thumbnail or a screenshot in the case of a link. This unfurling action is a well-known way to get info like one's IP address without them taking any action; the very act of reading an MP4 file to generate/get a thumbnail for the video can be enough to initiate infection.
