CatWhoMustNotBeNamed

Whenever someone says it isn't dead to them, it tells me they don't realize most average consumers care about convenience most of all.

They (the average consumer - that is about 98% of them) don't understand the tech, so have no way of forming an opinion or realizing why they may want a jack.

Or removeable batteries, etc. They're easily swayed by shiny and seemingly "easy to use".

Right?

Filth. Vermin. How many other people did they screw over under the badge?

I'm fine with longer. 20 sounds good.

Plus massive fines, like 5x what they stole, paid to the victims.

Vile garbage.

Pill form doesn't do Jack shit either.

Pseudoephedrine works like a charm though.

Fortunately I've been stocking up, since you can only buy one damn box a month.

Bastards.

It requires a flashed rom with a valid (key signature? Crap, forget what it's called).

If you flash an unsigned kernel and try to boot lock, it'll brick.

I get from an absolute security perspective why this is deemed important, I just feel there's a bit too much focus on it, as if an unlocked bootloader is really that insecure. It would still take tremendous effort to get the encryption key for storage, so it's pretty effectively secure still.

Starlink satellites deorbit on their own. What else is SpaceX leaving in orbit? (Serious question, maybe there are small components the launch systems lose?)

I'd say well-maintained and prepared for use. As in tools need be well-maintained to be useful.

Yawn, this ignorant trope again. Go learn to read 17th and 18th century prose.

Yawn, it's clear you don't know how to read literature from the period. There's plenty of explanation of the phrasing, indeed by the writers themselves in contemporary missives. But you don't really care, you already have your ideology.

Go read any Jane Austen and you'll learn. Even better, the Federalist Papers, or the Adams/Jefferson letters.

Exactly!

"You can't out run a bad diet".

Exercise helps, but once you do the math and see how many calories hard exercise consumes vs how easy it is to eat more calories, it becomes very clear.
