But, not surprisingly, "For most users who are emailing, reading some web forum, social media, and maybe office that matters very little." don't understand or know how to do rolling backups or operate a VM, so keeping their O

You're equating our currently accepted laws of physics as being the only true set of physical laws. How naive to assume that what we know now is the only truth.

It always amazes me why historians and researchers start with the assumption that any tale from the past is fanciful until proven otherwise. We have little to no proof that our very distant ancestors sat around making up stories for the fun

An upside to cloud gaming (the same for any cloud use) is that you can take advantage of the providers upgrades for little extra cost. So if AWS upgrade to Tesla V-series you don't have to spend the money to buy that new card, just spe

Well the UK creates laws so that banks can't lose out, why can't we do it for the rest of the country instead of just the fat lazy bank owners?

And that's the attitude that leads to the cure glut of IOT hardware with significant security bugs or no security at all. Build it fast and ship asap is not a sound plan for any software,and even less so for something that needs securi
