      Still bad, they are running with whatever vulnerabilities existed at the time and all those are known by now.

      Way less dangerous than people say.

      Unless you do stupid shit like plug in unknown USB sticks or put a public IP on your PC you will be mostly fine.

      If you manage to find an updated browser and don’t host any network service it shouldn’t be too dangerous.

        You are still vulnerable to every kind of vulnerability in every program that processes a file you download. Particularly parsers (e.g. XML, images, PDFs,…) tend to have a lot of those over the years.
