    (and) ...releases an exploit to prove it.

    I find this extraordinary. This is the smartest online place I know, and I would like to know what the smartest people I know have to say about it.

    My reaction to this shocking revelation is to mention my recent awareness that Win10 will continue to give you security updates as long as you get your data involved in OneDrive, which I would never do under any circumstances. I hate these people, and there is no punishment too draconian for them.

    Also, yesterday while having a casual IRL conversation at the dining room table, I notice that my Android phone is lighting up while we are talking, and discover that Chrome Gemini (AI) is participating in our conversation, giving it's opinions and helpful information on whatever we were talking about, and so I immediately shifted the conversation to how we should round up a protected class of people, put them into camps, and do you-know-what to them, as my personal way of saying f**k YOU to these people. I was never a political radical until they started shoving their noses and fingers into every single one of my orifices, and again I say there is no limit to what should be done to them in retaliation. Currently watching "Napoleon" and IMO those methods were an inadequate starting point and should be improved upon for maximum pain and horror, in order to set an eternal example of what happens to people that do these kinds of things, so that 20 generations from now, the story of that horror will be told to children in their beds as a warning as to what can happen to them if they repeat the mistakes of their ancestors.

    Is how I feel about it.

    I guess it is time to switch to Linux.
