Does your buddy in cybersecurity solve most of his problems by reinstalling Adobe Acrobat and restarting, and if that doesn't work, muttering about hackers and walking away? Because John McAfee himself didn't recommend using what the software bearing his name became and was more likely to put a bullet through his PC than install that shit.

Okay, but isn't he also more likely to put a bullet through another human being than anything?

Present tense? No, he's dead.

While he was living, I don't think his bullets were most likely to go through another human, but I do believe he was living on a boat because he had to flee Belize (I think?) because we was wanted for murder and couldn't return to the US because he was wanted for various things there, too (probably including that murder because it was an American).

His advice is only relevant here because his name is on the software, not because he was a good role model. Fascinating guy, but not one to look up to.
