Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

Oh a knight in shining armour trying to defend my dialogue partner?

Did you ask anyone needed defense? Because I'm pretty sure they don't.

If you read carefully I wrote "or something" at the end implying that I don't know exactly what they believe. It was not that subtle of invitation for them to agree with my first assessment or correct me. I will try to be really blunt in the future, so that you don't missunderstand again.

? I'm not defending anyone, I'm calling out bullshit when I see it

I don't really care that you like watching kids through their bedroom windows or whatever

If that doesn't accurately describe your views, no worries—I said "or whatever," so it's fine

What a dumb and petty response.

Bye.
