    naturally no other country in the world enjoys a similar level of prosperity without creating an underclass that they abuse for their profit.

    There literally isn’t. Whine about the percentages all you want. You still have a higher standard of living than literally anywhere else in the world.

    Capitalism did that. It’s not perfect but it’s better than anything else.






  • Oh look, we’ve found a security ‘researcher’. Mad that your job only consists of making other people’s job harder?

    Try the DMV, that’s also a great place to work where you can inflict misery on others.

    Valuable zero days aren’t exposed. They’re sold. If someone wants your data they will get it. HTTPS means nothing except huge amounts of wasted CPU cycles and energy.








  • Because I have reasonable views about security drawbacks? That when I see a vulnerability, I also look at the whole situation and decide if that’s an acceptable risk, rather than screaming “Security issue!” at the top of my lungs and pretending that patching this one vulnerability somehow makes a difference when there’s always another found the next week??

    Security isn’t free, it costs us by making it harder to get work done. “Security researchers” only know how to cover their ass. I can do that without their shrieking cries of wolf.






  • Gaming laptops are great for those who don’t understand they’re getting a slower, harder to upgrade and more expensive system than a desktop.

    Unless a college student in Tokyo with half a square foot of desk space, or travel a lot and like to game at the hotel, there are very few reasonable justifications for a gaming laptop. And even with those justifications they are a less-than-ideal situation. A desktop is always a better solution when feasible.
