    Because I have reasonable views about security drawbacks? That when I see a vulnerability, I also look at the whole situation and decide if that’s an acceptable risk, rather than screaming “Security issue!” at the top of my lungs and pretending that patching this one vulnerability somehow makes a difference when there’s always another found the next week??

    Security isn’t free, it costs us by making it harder to get work done. “Security researchers” only know how to cover their ass. I can do that without their shrieking cries of wolf.

      "Might as well not bother patching this actively-exploited security vulnerability, there’ll just be another one in the future, " LMAO

        On a laptop you bring everywhere I think it’s ok if you seriously think somebody might try to steal your data. On a desktop computer with the drive screwed onto the motherboard who’s going to steal it?
