As sad as that sounds in terms of maintenance and work for the average person,it checks out.
As someone that learned this the hard way in the 2000s with no other family computer backup, with some technical skills, this is a small slip up from Microsoft.
Instead of installing Linux in my computer and maintaining some un-maintainable windows copy on my dads computer, I’ll just install Linux mint or similar on his computer and tell him to click the big Firefox icon on the desktop as usual.
I took a really big shit the other day. Like, really BIG. We can call it the shit of the americas and anyone that disagrees would be making it a big hubbub.
Just because it was a president saying something stupid does not prevent it from being stupid.
Wikipedia was here before those dudes and will be here after them. They are small in the grad scale of things.
True, much easier to remove the antennas and SIM cards.
With that said, a beater with snow tires and chains on the trunk (and a driver that knows how to put them on before they are needed) will do better than a Subaru with all season tires.

With extra steps.
Just replace them with self checkout, problem solved! Wait… back to square 1.
We went to Walmart to print something we needed since the staples near us was having issues with their machine. Pet cleaning spray $6-$15 dollars? Behind one of those locked cabinets of course.
There was a worker near by stacking some other items, but we didn’t bother since from what we could remember of Walmart, they never have the keys on them and have to chase someone down.
While not as bad, my dad is kind of like that with phones. I installed Linux mint and honestly as long as the same ginormous Firefox icon (which I told him was the internet and YouTubes - same as windows) is around, he can still get to his karaoke and YouTube videos.
On my side I know it is pretty much impossible for him to get a malicious executable now, every few weeks we do upgrades when I visit which are a lot faster than windows updates.
You think at&t is protecting you from hackers? ISPs are notorious for using crap routers and wifi devices which they charge an arm and leg for. ISPs literally had default passwords that can be guessed (many of them still do), used outdated protocols that were prone to brute force attacks or simply fail to compete with even the most basic DD-WRT, Open-WRT or other custom firmaware.
Slowly since glass pipes tend to break.
He just needs a bonus for a few billion dollars and then it will be ok.
I seriously can’t believe there are board members that brain dead that think it would be a good idea to approve that kind of bonus if they are trying to make any money for the company.
