Do computers have feelings?

i'm now worried that this forum has a virus thing trying to get onto it to take over the forum, cause on the bottom left of the screen it keeps saying something about tls handshake and i dont know what a tls is so i'm assuming its a virus shaking hands with the forum

idk if someone better let admin know in case the tls virus manages to do anything to the forum

This forum I am sure has quality virus checkers & would catch one if it tried to infiltrate the software that runs this form. Check with a moderator/admin if it makes you feel better

I have never programmed using internet but programmed military data links. Establishing communications between 2 computers requires acknowledgments from both sides to get it started....this tls Handshake actually sets up an encrypted communication which makes it safe for both computers (or computer & phone or tablet) to communicate. This article gives a little information about it

I think it's so nice that we have computers. I don't have one yet. I do plan on getting one when I know which one to get. Meanwhile the computer wizards here & my cell phone are letting me do stuff anyway.

I use my phone most of the time for almost everything I do cause it is small & can go everywhere with me. Only time I actually use my computer is accessing things I need to print because I have an older printer even though wifi capable there are no apps for the phone that work with it. My computers died a few years ago & had to figure out a phone app that would allow me to sign legal documents. Amazing how technology has advanced since I started in computers in the late 70's

I use my work laptop for most stuff.

Mine better not...it's been asking for an elbow drop lately...
