Wasn’t me, but I’m guessing because you said they only last a few hours? I took that ridiculous exaggeration and assumed you meant writing notes on your thumb.

Is this supposed to be a joke about storing data on your thumb? Also thumbs are not cheap, probably…I hope.

Imsure there would be a million options, yours sounds quite fancy, and it will work great until Disney decides to sell giant mouse shaped drives ruining the whole thing.

I like to think that if streaming didn’t take over, the industry would have shifted to selling USB sticks with the media/game. Even if they did something goofy to “lock” it, at least being on a thumb drive would be more durable, compact, and have faster read time.
Imagine a nicely organized self of DvDs turned into nighmare pile of flash drives of different shapes and sizes as each movie tries to make theirs stand out to make up the lack of a cover.

And I say fuck that way of thinking.
It was largely the democratic side of people that pushed for green energy and to stop polluting with gas cars. People listened, found Teslas were a great EV option and now the same people are telling Tesla owners they are Nazis for owning one.
It’s getting stabbed in the back by the people you supported because some rich guy is a piece of shit.
And truthfully I don’t own a Tesla, its my trans sister that has to deal with harassment and people telling her “they can’t accept her as trans woman because she’s own a Tesla”. Fuck them and their exclusive “inclusivity” club.

People bought into the marketing hype pre-2020, and it was pretty much the only viable full EV in North America due to the charge network. A lot of people got them with good intentions for the environment.
Most people take out loans to buy new cars. When you sell or scrap a car the loan doesn’t go away. If you have 30k left on a loan, scrap the car for 10k - you’ll be left with a 20k loan and no car.
Regardless of a car’s financial worth, having a functional car is worth a lot more.
What your asking people to do is about as financially crazy as if someone told you to sell your car for $500, spend a thousand into maintance, and then go to buy a new one the leftover cash. In other words - blow your a sizable chunk of your own money because the owner of the car is a shit person. Who does that help? Musk already got his money, reselling the car does jack shit to him and completely fucks over the seller.

No excuses now, and no bumper stickers will dissuade me. It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.
Hard to sell them when the only potential buyer market is people you want to avoid at all cost or a used car place that will buy it for an insulting fraction of it’s value.
And buying a replacement in this economy? We can judge new buyers all day long, we can judge people with 200k salaries that keep them, but the folks that can’t sell it are stuck with a car that no one will buy; maybe they got laid off, had to take a big salary cut to keep living, can’t afford a new car, and because they can charge the car for free at work they have extra moey for food.

Yeah, your right. I guess a better way to put it would have been “don’t load shit that I didn’t tell you to load”.

Good morning Slazar,
Please do not reply all to corporate email chains. Please send all off-topic communications through our slack channels.
Thank you.

There may be genuine use cases to run a script, or whatever the attacker used. The problem is the browsers will auto-run stuff, the user isn’t aware and there’s no way to stop it. All unlock does is provide the missing security layer called “don’t auto run shit from the web”.

Another example why Unlock Origin should be considered essential security software, not just an “ad-block”.

Yes, let’s blame the victim and not the data hording mega corps that advertise their crap to collect more data, make big promises, hide the better options, and actively undermine open source in every way they can.
I’m pretty sure the average person hears “open source” and think “oh that’s insecure apps by hackers, I need to only use software from trusted sources”. It’s still a good idea, but unfortunately the trusted sources of 2002 have betrayed us.
