Question

F12 key Conundrum

Is there a new system? Before I get into the head gear business I would like to know that there are hackproof qualities and software as well as hardware to keep my business going.  I do not want to live on the edge every day knowing that someone in pulling in a virus and sending bugs to my system and I have to hire more people and spend more money to fix up the website and web pages. I feel like, after viewing F12 and the script it brings out to be far easy to read and misuse.

    Simple solution, don't press it. There's more to you than meets our eyes I believe ;)
    A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

    Hi Everyone,
    I can't believe that one can press F12 key on the key pad and it brings out the developers side on the right.  This is the reason why I will never start a business just buying packages and hiring someone who knows ordinary engineering in the linux world, such as Red Hat, Grey Hat, Black Hat. 

    F12 is a button on my key board reminding me of the linux world, to not make mistakes like other business's.

    F12 is the developer panel in Firefox, Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer. It just lets you see what a web site is doing locally (style sheet results, errors, element inspector, etc), it doesn't let you modify something remote. It's not a hacking tool.

    It's been there for many years, it's not a danger. If you don't like it, you'll have to complain to every web browser company, since they all do it, it's a standard. (Haven't tested them all, but the 4 biggest PC ones do it. It's likely the others do it too, but maybe on different keys)

    After all the hacking me down part on Facebook, I am experiencing it here also.  I don't receive all messages when I am notified that I have messages. I am not being paranoid.
