Miscellaneous Tech News

Some news items are big enough to be mentioned, but not big enough to justify their own threads. But they are tech and IT news items, so don't fit into the general news category. Why haven't we thought of having a thread just for them before? Guess we have just been too busy with other things. Without further ado....

Sometimes you just have to. GE for example has a few systems for suppliers that work only in IE and only with outdated Java versions.

No, this means stop using those systems and suppliers. They are willfully putting you and your business at risks because "it'll cost to much to fix".
This is like never changing the oil in your car and instead just replacing the motor when it blows up after 20,000 miles because the block is bone dry.

Unfortunately yes... we still have some applications that require IE and won't work with a modern browser.
