Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |

AskWoody PlusFebruary 11, 2019 at 1:18 am #323710Oh, I see. My first (and only) thought when seeing the original posted image, was that it was a Photoshop job, overlaying some unreadable error message over a nighttime sky. You know, like a work of art.
Didn’t occur to me that a billboard might run on Windows, or any other OS for that matter.
