Yeah exactly, so strip the layers from this bullshit onion and don't let him have any excuses.

There's like a $10 app called super display that will turn any android device into a touch monitor, pair that with one of those precision styluses with the plastic disc on the end, you got a ~$20 dollar drawing tablet!

Do you really want an adversary that can potentionally disable a large portion of your populations computers in one fell swoop?

Just saw a Netflix movie about this a month or so back. Obviously the writing was a little embellished, but it was fucking terrifying to imagine something like that happening on a real scale.

There is a chance that it has something to do with the Xbox app, maybe

I just mentioned the other day how scary that is if a third party can crack it and just got blasted about how Microsoft wouldn't put an OS out with vulnerabilities like that lmao

Skepticism is the literal precursor to the scientific method, and that's where you're stopping. There is no science at the skepticism step.

You're basically saying, "Gravity isn't real because I don't see proof."

A real scientist would drop an apple, a feather, a bowling ball, and verify it.

Yeah I would need to see the "read more" here, all of these look fine but I'd never be surprised to see shit like cruise control or heated seats pop up on a paywall.

I find it particularly funny to call it X(formerly twitter) every time I have to mention it.

Also kind of love how Dubious X is as a name cause I always think it's a porn site before my brain clicks

I don't disagree with anything but I feel like GabeN said that before streaming and subscriptions took over.

Photoshop is an incredibly easy to use and powerful tool for creators - I'd be happy to drop like $200 on, for example, the 2024 version. I'm not happy to spend $10 or $30+ a month for life to use it, especially when they lock you in to a year subscription and charge you a fee if you cancel early so you literally can't just sub only the month when you need it, it's the whole year, period. I'll just pirate or use photopea or whatever.

Similar for streaming. Netflix gave us the option to pay for more screens to watch on. Now suddenly it matters whose house it's in?? All while you're constantly removing value from the platform and you cancel anything decent if the production value is too high? Fuck you man I'm not paying like $30 monthly for that.

Would love to if my favorite games weren't all EAC locked on linux
