KB5043064 is a shining example of why no developer or corporation should be allowed to use Agile without serving at least 7 years in medium security prison for it. Yet another hand polished turd pooped out the end of a sprint and was forced upon an unsuspecting public “to get user feedback.” If it didn’t completely trash your machine to the point of getting 0xc000021a on each and every boot attempt thereafter, consider yourself lucky. … Windows 10 KB5043064 Error 0x800f0922Read more

Have I got one of them Computer Viruses? scruffy old guy Hollywood created the greatest computer hacking movie of all time in … How Hackers Get InRead more
