Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people’s lives?

I mean, that’s all true, and yet they’re still light-years ahead of the US…

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren’t buying a piece of software, you’re buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

As if any spyware worth it’s salt didn’t install itself as service with an innocuous name. Something like “Facebook” or “TikTok”.

radical răd′ĭ-kəl adjective

1. Arising from or going to a root or source; basic.
2. Departing markedly from the usual or customary; extreme or drastic.
3. Relating to or advocating fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutions.

I believe 2. is the most common colloquial use. It is perfectly possible to be a radical conservative; and I would actually argue that conservativism is a radical ideology, given that the world at large wants to make progress.

I think it also helps that it wasn’t intentional. Nobody likes the obvious corp whoring for a quick cash grab.

It undeniably does, but what would be interesting is a comparison of how much water is needed per liter of milk and various substitutes.

You’re assuming they’re suffocating, when the smallest fault in the hull’s integrity would make the thing implode, killing them before they realized what was happening.
