I’m experienced in the field of cyber security

So... go lookup the CVEs. Go have a look at what the actual threats against the old device are. What's the method of attack and do you care.

If you decide you're happy with the device. Then remember to keep going back and seeing if any new attacks against the device exist.

Whatever happens, we're not protected against 0day attacks (by their very nature).

I guess there is some reason to worry about "unknown" attacks against the device. But like 0day's, there's probably unknown attacks against patched devices as well.

Remove the romance element from it.

If the bottle spins, someone has to spend time in your company doing something you enjoy. You and your friends all agree. The bottle lands on you, and suddenly whatever it was you enjoy is not just "unenjoyable" but is actively repulsive to the other people. Ironically, I'd expect people to be repulsed by having to do half my hobbies, so this isn't a perfect reframing.

Apologies if I'm not being sensitive to your thought patterns. But there must be a way of reframing this that you can see why someone would be upset that their "friends" find them actively repulsive to even be around.

AI's current writing style on topics like this, is to repeat the same thing in subtly different ways. If you find yourself reading the same paragraph 3 times in a row, then it's probably AI.

Im being a huge guy - can go to the women bathroom

OK

People will exploit this.

Do you? Who is currently stopping you?

Why would someone who wants to batter, rape or abuse another person be stopped by an unlocked door with a little cartoon sign on it?

You're crediting him with far too much competence.

His handler has said he has to continue, and he'll obey

Yeah... I can see how owning "owning it" works when someone has been convicted of standup up for Human rights or something...

But, his convictions are mostly "being a lying sack of shit"

Are people really taking pride in "voting for a convicted felon"?

I'm not particularly surprised.

I've had a hp laptop provided by work before. There were DVI ports on the laptop and fucking station. I'm Windows, the ports on the laptop were disabled when plugged into the docking station. I presumed they were hard wired over to the dock

On Linux, all the ports worked just fine and I could hook up every port on the laptop and dock just fine

Na... Honestly

Baldurs gate and bgII had an open world where you could go anywhere. Go to certain places early game, you'd get hard fucked up. Go there later, you could make progress.

I loved the feeling of getting more powerful and that was what unlocked more of the game.

Or calling the NHS expensive and inneficient. Underfunding it would be extremism as well.

Treasure hunt. One night they are all in the attic and stumbles across an old map. They set off and later realize that they have to go through a creepy building to get to a secret passage to the caves. As they try to get into the caves one of them gets lost and he is left behind. He then meets another boy with a messed up face. He befriends the boy. Will the kids ever find the treasure? Will they ever meet the pirate one eye Willy. Will Chuck ever meet up with them again? Will they all accept Sloth for his needed up face?
