    Looks like it only relates to environments using KMS key management.  This is usually a corporate environment running their own activation servers.   Nasty issue for them, but shouldn't bother too many Flex users.

    Um, er, ah, not sure how to say this;  but it is not only corporate environment that is running KMS.   Many of the "more technical" home users that don't like paying for MS Office are also running the KMS service on their home desktop machine :-)

    Disclaimer:  This is obviously third-party unsubstantiated hear-say, and could not
    possibly apply to me since I am running Windows 10 and fixing my DAX drivers 
    monthly :-)  :-)

    That said, I also run Linux and Open Office, so who cares anyway...

    Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2 received updates this Tuesday.  And..... unfortunately broke sharing of folders.  Rolling the updates back or applying a registry entry fix took care of it.  But was a pain loosing access to my server for a while.

    Win7 is no more a security risk than Win10 is stable. Turn off Javascript, use adblocking, and practice general safe computing sanitation, and you are good to go.

    Wasn't someone here writing what might be called "SmartSDR for Linux"?

    I get all tingly thinking about a reliable version that I know will run when I boot.

    Walt's callsign is KZ1F, not K1ZF. I don't think he ever published his program, but his plan was to release a cross-platform (Android, Windows, Linux) application like SSDR.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
