ActiveX

Some convoluted proprietary solution Microsoft came up with because they thought web standards meant being compatible with Internet Explorer 6.

A case study on why platform-specific proprietary solutions are bad for the web: Korea.
ActiveX was the reason why the Korean web was stuck in the early 2000's for over a decade. Everyone there was using it for either adding multimedia and/or security encryption, and this resulted in the country being one of the last nations to still hold onto IE 6 during the second browser wars.

This made it impossible to do any online banking, shopping, social media (Cyworld was big back then), etc., so using Firefox or Chrome meant you're SOL if you live in Korea.

Some native English teacher in Korea - Hey Soyoung, why can't I use my Mac to log into Nonghyub Bank?
Soyoung - Oh, you have to use Internet Explorer 6 and enable ActiveX. Korea uses advanced software for their websites?
English Teacher - ActiveX? You mean that P.O.S. Microsoft abandoned years ago? Wtf...

Suddenly focusing all of one's mindfulness and energy towards a previously insignificant objective, even at great personal cost.

Manager: This note from IT says your login was banned because you haven't watched the phishing awareness video in six months, and you ignore their reminders.

Employee: Those reminders were phishing attempts, sir. I'm fuckin' unphishable because the video is living inside my eyes. Its agreeable calypso backtrack is now the beat of my furious heart. And I see now that you've been compromised by the adversary in their latest attempt to phish me.

Manager: You need to call Cloudcellerate helpdesk right n-

Employee: (stands up really fast) LOOK, THINK, DELETE! SIR! YOU ARE COMPROMISED!

Employee: (approaching manager) LOOK, THINK, DELETE!

Manager: Cool your crazy shit, son. Just needed to see if you've been activated.
