I have not seen McAfee used, at all, since 2012(ish). I honestly did not know it was still a thing.

Consider yourself lucky. I've not been able to convince the corporate IT yabbos to disable this crap on my machine. They've "adjusted my profile" and "assigned me to a low-risk user group" and other sorts of things, none of which have had a long-lasting and reliable effect.

Count your blessings! McAfee is more of a virus than the viruses it supposedly protects us from.
In my section about every 6 months it goes crazy for 1 person, consuming 90%+ of the CPU for a 3 hour scan every morning. Desktop suppport's solution: uninstall and reinstall McAfee. But no one knows the cause ...

I seem to recall that he repudiated what it had become, along with other things.

I never used his version of the software. The current version probably has little or no relation to the code he wrote long ago.

He posted a video titled "How to uninstall McAfee Antivirus". It isn't kid sister safe, but it is funny.

I was hoping that it was the company that had folded. He was a sad example of how wealth can destroy a man.

The domain seems to be available.
CovidProject with the tag line "for those who vaccinate" and have a Bob in a nurse uniform.
Chris should buy it and move all the covid "me too" posts there.
(half-serious and probably too late ) he should do it and get a few Ontario MDs and health officials to participate; I'm certain you can get a grant from the Province or the Federal government.

I'm not sure Chris wants to be closely related to virus activity ...

Whoever owns the Muppets franchise these days would probably get an injunction - they already have a Dr. Bob...

There's many a true word spoken in jest: Disney bought 'em in 2004 and they are notoriously litigious.

I bought some new gaming headphones in the Amazon Prime Day sale, and was just installing them.
The manual is titled "the Use of Guideness" which ... appeals in some strange way ...
Unfortunately, the English doesn't get much better on the inside ...

I deal with this all the time with documentation and source code comments because I work with a lot of chinese IP. There's a certain method to the madness. Read enough of it and it starts to make sense.

It's probably safe to say they are just using Google Translate rather than an actual interpreter. The former does fairly well on single and double words but not so much on sentences and paragraphs.
