I personally would only use the original phrase to imply what you're saying. This is why context matters so much I think; some people just use it as a thought terminating cliche, I'm afraid.

First one is saying there's no point fixing anything, just get over it. Second one saying fixing it might suck, let's fix it anyway.

Very, very different...

Huh, didn't realize that. I understand a lot of the physical servers for those kinda companies are in the upper Midwest, but I never thought about where thire HQ is at; you make some excellent points.

There is definitely a fight brewing over who has final say in regards to what happens on the Internet. Gonna be interesting seeing how this plays out.

The difference is, I think, just how much of the content or there is hosted in America. If they succeed in forcing local companies to follow some new draconian measure, it'll likely have a disproportionately high effect on non-US traffic.

Well, they're the ones that know which pizza shops have pedophile sex dungeons hidden underneath. So, I guess they're fighting themselves. (As I typed that out, it occurred to me how true is a statement it was...😝)

Lol no.

A baby is a baby until they're a toddler. An infant is a brand new baby.

What am I missing, here?

Well, for starters, you seem to be missing anything resembling a coherent argument... 🤪

Umm, no. Just...yeah, no.

The main problem with this theory is that Microsoft is absolutely abysmal at user end security, and they always have been. Frankly, they do not understand the issue.

But, more to the point, the whole TPM/secure boot stuff is a compromise; originally (I think this was about the time of Vista), they partnered with OEMs to have them include a DRM chip that made it literally impossible to install any non-windows OS on your laptop. They've managed to still get an implementation of TPM that makes switching your OS too confusing/difficult for the average user.

Anyway, bottom line is they only care about money, and they neither care or even understand the security needs of the end user.

But... they've long since figured out how to monetize without the content. So, that's a hard disagree from me...

I just switch to desktop mode and never had any problem...

Um, please source specifically the entirety of your claims...???

What are you even talking about?!
