How was it quietly patched, when everyone running an outdated server, received an email?
That is the opposite of quiet.

"No, **Bill Gates never actually said** "640K ought to be enough for anybody."
### Here's the background:
* The quote is widely **attributed** to him and has become a kind of urban legend.
* However, **Gates has repeatedly denied** ever saying it.
* There's **no verifiable source or interview** where he said this.
* Tech historians and journalists have **traced the origin** of the quote but haven't found any credible evidence linking it directly to him.
### What might have caused the confusion?
* In the early days of personal computing (late 1970s to early 1980s), **640KB of RAM was a technical limit** in MS-DOS systems — not a personal statement from Gates.
* It’s possible someone **exaggerated or paraphrased** a conversation about technical constraints, and it morphed into this quote over time.
### Gates' own comment:
In a 1996 interview, he said:
> *“I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time.”*
So, it's safe to call this quote **a myth**.

Microsoft is famous for never getting any future prediction right. Remember 640K should be enough for everybody?
Gates never said this....

I just brought a Lenovo Legion Go S.
First thing I did was remove Windows 11, and put Steam OS on it.

Every house should have solar panels.
yep.
I used to have solar in the first house I built, and we had enough capacity to have the AC on pretty much as much as we wanted, and I still fed back to the grid, and got credit from the electricity distributor each quarter.
its the earth telling us we don't have enough copper wires

To mitigate these vulnerabilities,
to 0 (SUID_DUMP_DISABLE, "No setuid dumping").
This prevents all SUID programs and root daemons that drop privileges from being analysed in
case of a crash, but it can act as a temporary fix if the vulnerable
core-dump handler itself cannot be patched immediately.
will it....
will MS test each and every update?
All this AI stuff, it might speed up timelines now, but when it comes time to work on that code later, you're screwed,
..... so then human programmers will the hired once again to clean up and comment the code.

that would be the parents fault.
yes there is crap on Roblox....
but letting a kid that is 5 use it?
