Huh? When the Moon's overhead, you can look at it and rotate yourself to any direction to change the apparent orientation.

Using a widely-available phone with good performance, decent quality, and long term security support, meant that more people could access it. I still can't buy a Fairphone without going through an overseas middleman, then hoping I have no warranty issues, because they don't sell to Australia. If something goes wrong with my Pixel, the shop I bought it from is minutes away.

My favourite recipe. (context is outbreak of covid in Australia.)

I made the mistake of creating a Windows VM and believing their minimum required disk space figure of 64GB. It won't upgrade. Asks to attach an external USB drive because it lacks enough space. It hasn't anything added to it, only some bloatware removed. Attempting to upgrade takes hours, fails (despite attaching the extra storage), then restarts the entire download and install process over again. I can only assume it's incapable of caching and verifying downloaded content. There's no offline installer option, like we used to have with service packs. The whole thing is slow as molasses yet it doesn't max out the 8(!) CPUs allocated to it. The host has plenty of spare capacity. It's a steaming pile of shit.

Linux guests run fine.

I'll be sure to tell my employer that my services are no longer need because some jerk on Lemmy thinks that File.readAsArrayBuffer() and SubtleCrypto.encrypt() packaged up in an extension that needs no special permissions, no companion app, and is limited to activating on a single named website, is like totally gonna scan my whole hard drive, man, what a drag.

You really are a dunce.

So you don't understand that, either? When your only argument is insult, that's ad hominem. You never addressed any of the valid criticism of your fear mongering, other than to repeat the same misinformation.

You're calling me wrong because you think I'm "full of it" without being able point to anything that's factually incorrect about what I've said.

Which don't exist unless you install them, too, which OP's extension wouldn't need. You're chronically unable to focus on the context, aren't you?

Sticking with the ad hominem, eh? Not the brightest choice.
