"Home is behind, the stars ahead,
distant is the galactic edge,
through subspace, to the end of time,
until they come to assimilate,
all shall join,
all shall join"

I think it should also be noted that the games industry is not audited for security to the same degree as a lot of other industries. So vulnerabilities may not be found until years after launch and then go unpatched indefinitely because the company has already moved on to the next thing.

Hell, one of the older CoD games had an RCE vulnerability that as far as I'm aware is still not patched.

Plus, major publishers like EA are now pushing to create their own kernel-level anticheat in-house. Why should anyone trust them to create a secure piece of software that runs with the highest permissions possible when they can't even be trusted to create stable, functional games?

Ginger is just a descriptor. He's a cunt who happens to be ginger and unloved.

Tennessee can keep their Whiskey. Kentucky has got us covered.

Or better yet, giant tardigrades that are roughly the size of a large dog/small wolf for the purpose of having an effectively immortal sled team.

Also, mice used to be a novel way to interact with a computer that nobody was comfortable with.

There aren't a lot of people left who are comfortable in a pure keyboard environment. Much less the flip switches on early PDPs.

Computer interfaces change. Being uncomfortable using an interface that's new to you is indicative of nothing.

Both of these read like the author is simultaneously looking down on both groups of developers in disgust and trying to represent them as some kind of idealized stereotype of a specific group of developers.

  1. Bezos is the example they were using to illustrate their point. Which isn't a strawman argument by any definition of the term.

  2. That's a statistic that can, in fact, be proven. They should probably cite a source for it, but given how you set the level of the discussion, I can see why they'd think that level of effort is unnecessary.

  3. Posing a question can be a way to make a point. It's called a rhetorical question. It helps the argument if you follow up with an answer to the question, but the question on its own is enough to make a point.

Ah, it's one of those. I was thinking it was the TV's OS.

I don't have a lot of experience with those smaller dongles, but as I understand it they're fairly low power devices that are more meant for streaming relatively low bitrate media from the internet or from a phone. It may not have the horsepower for playing back high bitrate media from Jellyfin or Plex.

Others may have a solution that'll work for that device, but my gut response is to say you should consider replacing it with something more powerful.
