They intentionally choose to handle errors poorly.

Just like they intentionally choose to handle updates poorly, DON'T YOU WANT TO REBOOT FOR THE FIFTHEENTH FUCKING TIME AND LOSE YOUR SESSION WITH 29 PROGRAMS OPEN ACROSS 8 DESKTOPS WHILE RUNNING A RENDERING PROCESS?

Meanwhile, Linux: why yes, I'll update the kernel in-place without rebooting and keep your 784 day uptime.

I'm 36 and if you want to call me, then fine? Who cares? I don't get why it's such a big deal.

Mmmmmmnaaaahh. Let's build apocalypse bunkers and burn this planet to the ground while civilization descends into hunger games.

No, it isn't. Anal sex is a known high risk factor for STDs and infections. It also applies to everyone, not just gay/bi men.

What happens if you spoof the user agent?

Tories really trying to cause as much harm as possible before they get voted out so they can blame the next party for mismanaging their mistakes.

That's the conservative M.O. It's literally the only thing they do.

But they do care about their money. Explain it in ways that will resonate with them.

Without ad blocking, they'll encounter "scam ads" that take over the browser and demand calling "support" that collects their credit card info and costs them hundreds of dollars in fraudulent charges. At the very least, it's a pain in the ass they have deal with by calling their credit card provider to cancel the charges.

Security extensions from antivirus/antimalware applications won't work and subject them to even more of the above.

Malicious "attestation" services can falsely verify unscrupulous websites as legitimate.

Betteridge's Law

To be fair, factory resets are a huge pain in the ass. Might as well try other things before busting out the nuclear option.

Well golly gee, they're breaking promises they never intended to keep?

I hate that everything useful is being thrown out the window for "water proofing." Fuck that, people need to quit being so lazy and careless with their shit.

And I'm calling bullshit on the dust thing. I'm not saying it's a negligible consideration, but it's not something they need to start gelding features for. That's just a horseshit excuse to effectuate planned obsolescence and sell you overpriced accessories.

I still use an 8 year old phone with a tool-free replaceable battery, headphone jack, and microSD slot. I live in the country, there's dust everywhere and it would be dead by now if dust was such a problem.

This kind of horseshit is CONSTANT with Windows updates. I see customer PCs where I know I've set the default browser to Firefox or Chrome, and lo and behold, suddenly everything is opening in fucking Edge.
