Nixon wasn’t speaking authoritatively there, I believe both he and M$ clarified that. And the “correlating” announcement was more “we will be continuously updating windows 10” unlike the assumed by many people to mean “perpetually” which is just silly.

You’re telling me you expected windows 10 to remain forever the last Windows version? Maybe if they decided to rename the OS moving forward.

I suppose you could take the stance of it just becoming versioned in the same way Linux distros are, but then you just get left being on an old version of Windows 10.

That’s insane to me. I’m all for not drug testing the guy working at McDonald’s, but anyone overseeing the safety of others sends like a common sense group to test.

Are you honestly claiming a shitpost is gaslighting?

What a world we live in.

Care to explain what you meant then? Because the most I did was paraphrase what I understood to be your stance.

Wait, bus drivers don’t get drug tested?

This has been the case for decades, why would it change now?

Correction: power users, such as the type on Lemmy, trend towards hating ai. That is by no means “all users” by any stretch of the term.

Yes, but one of those things is capable of a lot more damage in a much shorter amount of time.

You’ll also have a hard time knifing people from a window with a wide vantage point.

Knives are dangerous, and evil people will be evil. But should we just hand out rocket launchers on the side of the road because knives exist?

It’s an absurd suggestion, obviously. So is “knives exist so guns are fine.”

This isn’t the flex you think it is.

USB C does not require all applications use all aspects available in the current spec (USB 3), that’s just silly. Take the latest iPhone for example (not the pro series,) they are all essentially running USB 2 through a USB C cable. And that’s perfectly fine.

The real problem is when a company uses USB C but follows none of the wiring or standards requirements for any standard. Such as running power over data pins making the charger some proprietary Frankenstein of bullshit.

Ngl this would skeeve me out. The chances of someone uploading CSAM while slim scare the fuck outta me.

Whomthes?

I think we’re just all excited to be penetrated.

I think it very much depends on the situation. If I’m already securely housed and have reliable income for food? No fucking way. If I have a kid who might end up living on the street (or honestly, taken from me by the state) if I don’t find money? I’d at least give this a fleeting thought.

So one understood the assignment.

I mean, one compromised account leading to a massive influx of spam is a legitimate concern.

You can’t always assume “happy path”.

“How to disable this opt in feature”: “don’t turn it on”

I get that Lemmy is a bastion for M$ hate but FUD articles get annoying.

To be fair, one of those is much, much easier to remember. Honestly I don’t even know how to pronounce verisimilitude.

Hell, you can buy with cash. Walk to a local big box store and buy a steam wallet/gift card. That is assuming you live somewhere that has that option, of course.
