After mulling over it for close to 14 years, it seems Microsoft is finally ready to kill off the Windows Control Panel soon. An official confirmation has been posted on its website.

    I hope your firewall is up to scratch.

        You’re letting the internet bareback you.

            Your PC could be part of a botnet that sends phishing mails, mine crypto and send all your keystrokes to Irkutsk, without you noticing.

              I would hope they’re protected by the router firewall
