Brickbat: I Can't Get Into That

Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters recently told members of the state legislature that he has been locked out of the state Department of Education website for two years. In a video posted to X, Walters and another man, who wasn't identified, said that employees created individual websites during a previous administration, and they did not leave the information on how to access those sites when they left. But some lawmakers wondered why the issue hasn't been solved in two years.

There are none so locked-out as those who don't want in.
He knows there will be problems to fix. If he can't get in, he can't fix them.
The sites are all Adobe Flash videos.
Flying toasters.
Oh man .... I had to use a website at work, in 2018, that was still written in flash. Couldn't believe it at first, had to relearn about how bad that crap was. No bookmarks, no nothing useful.
Back in 2010-2011 I worked for a company where IE6 was still the only supported browser for internal web sites.
More likely, the website doesn't do anything useful.
More likely, the entire department doesn't do anything more useful than harmful.
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO UPDATE PRONOUNS?
So are these OF pages or something so critical they can be ignored for 2 years?
