It’s also a tried and true strategy that brought Microsoft to the spot it is now. Evil and corrupt, but very effective. Only eee (embrace, extend, extinguish) is even more insidious because it requires companies to play the long con.
Then again in 2024, I automatically assume “con” first until I see evidence to the contrary.
Nothing will ever top the Dutch though. They once ATE their PM in protest. Not even kidding.
No, but there’s a big difference between a societal paradigm that overrides natural human compassion with, well, the exact opposite and then incentivizes the entire population to participate, or a society in which greed is greed rather than some overarching be-all end-all goal.

I guess my mistake was simply not being attentive enough to the road. I wasn’t speeding, I wasn’t under the influence (it happened as I was trying to pull in to my work’s driveway), I wasn’t sleepy or tired.

There was no malice involved, nor negligence, but it’s still my responsibility to pay attention to all hazards on the road and act accordingly.
What if my mistakes directly lead to someone else getting hurt?

On the harder and more strenuous days it might even include golf!
It resides on the MB itself in a separate chip, so no, although there are probably tools to make it possible.

I do not think Therefore I do not am.
Pretty sure this is configurable in the OOBE of the installer. At least, it used to be in older versions.
Mine is a FE and still chugging along great. I did replace the godawful stock cooler with an aftermarket cooler with a GIANT heatsink. Temps never go over 60 anymore.
Being actually liked and admired by hordes of nonexistant npc’s…
Sounds like a party.
