I see your point, but you're being such a dick in this thread that I'm kind of happy you didn't get what you wanted and I kind of hope you never do.
I scrolled for a bit and, welp.
Imagine being like that without understanding that you're the one lacking essential behaviors for pleasant human interaction.
It’s not about me. I already found a pre-spychip laptop at a street market for under $£€ 10. It’s about global e-waste of useful goods and the ignorance driving it. Ignorance that is thick as we can see from an absence of basic infosec principles and people being conditioned to lick boots without questioning the ethics of patronising anti-consumer suppliers.
Ignorance is not in itself a big problem. It can be corrected if someone is willing to learn. And I can accept arrogance if it’s logically sound and factually correct. But ignorance coupled with pretentious arrogance is a bit intolerable. I don’t give a shit about the egos of such thread crapping responders.
The irony of you of all people calling this out...
