You're arguing a completely different point. Windows isn't Microsoft's only product by a long shot, so I don't see how their money (whatever you mean by that, specifically) is the answer here. Also, every few years there's a new Windows version which again costs money - almost like a subscription with bigger installments at longer intervals.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't see a problem with subscriptions for commercial software. Fixing bugs and security issues after release is an ongoing effort that costs money, so a one-time purchase isn't really economically viable in the long run. I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable using unmaintained software that might contain known but unfixed vulnerabilities.
Well yes, but it's weird that the article mentions Web3 in particular.
One small correction: There is no EU office responsible for GDPR enforcement, the EU member states are responsible for handling GDPR breaches within their jurisdiction (Art. 51 GDPR). As an individual you can also file a complaint against offenders (Art. 77 GDPR).
Once again, you're going off on an unrelated tangent. If you don't want to listen, I can't help you. We're done here.
Funny how you claim to know so much about security but can't even seem to comprehend my comment. I know root shell exploits exist, that's why I wrote that it takes additional time to get root access, not that it's impossible. And that's still a security improvement because it's an additional hurdle for the adversary.
There weren't even any insults there, unless you think being a Lemmygrad user is one. Come to think of it, you may be onto something...
On a serious note: They're also spreaing Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine, which is enough to discredit them anyway. Did I say war? Of course I mean SpEcIaL MiLiTaRy fAiLuRe!
I think you're interpreting too much. Security is about layers and making it harder for attackers, and that's exactly what using a non-root user does.
In that scenario, the attacker needs to find and exploit another vulnerability to gain root access, which takes time - time which the attacker might not be willing to spend and time which you can use to respond.
An egg is already liquid, so it can't be molten. It's the same way you can't melt water.
There is no age cutoff.
Technically, there is - it's just that the cutoff also goes up every year.
That's not how statistics work. The article is talking about the entirety of Gen Z, inferring that the same must be true for any subset of that group is just wrong.
Edit: Your downvote doesn't change statistics, @[email protected]
Perhaps unintended but very much relevant singular. Unless you're doing RAID 6 or the like, a simultaneous failure of two drives still means data loss. It's also worth noting that drives of the same model and batch tend to fail after similar amounts of time.
