What are the risks? > I'm pretty sure you have not had security updates for it for a while: see https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-23-end-of-life/ so you are running with unpatched bugs since Dec. 2016. Some of these bugs *might* be remotely exploitable. I would not use such a machine to e.g. check my bank account from a public place - *I* would not use it from a private place over WiFi either - maybe over hardwired ethernet but that would depend on other factors; but different people tolerate the possibility of such problems differently: you will have to decide what to do in your case. I hope this information can help you make an informed decision. -- Nick "There are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors." -Martin Fowler
