Same reasoning that idiot of my mate does. He's never got any girls pregnant by pulling out so he's happy to continue. Also, you should give Russian roulette a go, it can be fun.

Hardware recalls happen but are rare and in between. Software bugs, for something dependent on checking something over an internet connection? Yeah not thanks. And the fact that it hasn't failed yet doesn't mean the new version that goes out in a rush next week will not be buggy, enshittification and all.

Listen to the software enginees in this thread they know what they are talking about. Plus basic human decency: a life shouldn't be saved or not based on wether a subscription has been paid, we can be better than this as a species, and should expect more from regulations around business.

Current "data" means fuck all. The fact that they haven't had a serious bug, or that it hasn't occurred while the device needed to deploy is not an indicator that there won't be problems, sorry doesn't work that way.
