What from this decade can I not do? You seem to think this is fashion. It’s just technical crap.

Computers stopped solving real problems a long time ago. “Something from this decade” like what? Endless games for children that stunt your mind? AI fart videos?

So even if it’s 4mm away? 5mm? 6mm? 7mm? 8? 9?

You argue as if you can be equally injured in a car crash by being a bystander because of the energy of a speeding car. Like, no?

You just like reading what you type, not making sense.

Then it wasn’t a graze wound. What if the bullet is 0.1mm further out than would be needed for a “graze”?

You’re playing with words. We have video of what happened.

Maybe you’d prefer it was a Sasquatch with a directed energy weapon.

No. They either ricochet off the drywall to make a cool peeeinggg sound effect, or splatter you like a bug in Starship Troopers. Even a .22 short.

But every gun is a M2 or Barrett.

Huh? And what does that have to do with running Windows 7? You can, you know… install all the patches even if Microsoft doesn’t supply them.

They’re called Service Packs.

If this is too difficult to grasp, we can talk about something else.

It grazed him. What is difficult to understand here?

A bullet would have to actually hit the ear for what you describe. But I guess you have a vested interest in not at least trying to understand this.

You understand that the space-time we inhabit, or at least I do, has a very high resolution? The bullet can be any distance at all from the ear as it flies by.

Is this clear?

Where did I say not to get bugfixes for my OS, which is Windows 7?

Well one did fuck me in the ass while the other one stole my favorite underwear right out from the delicate cycle. Total animals.

But it sounds cool! Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock are waiting for me in my apartment to hack the web!

When you get your IT knowledge from the '90s movie Hackers…

Very simple: I’m one user.

Like dude how am I supposed to order burgers through skip the dishes if I don’t have Windows 11 and a 64 core CPU with 256GB of DDR18 super RAM running terabytes of vibe-coded AI slop!???

I just connected my Windows 7 machine to the internet and two Russians jumped out my serial port! One is holding me down while the other one is stealing the CPU from my washing machine! Send help!

same for doctors

This requires little more than a 286. It’s an elevator. Responding in times measured in seconds. What kind of computations do you think are required here? Imaginary quaternion matrixes? Squared?

But how else can it be safe to connect to the internet?

Luxury. All I had was a 186.

Why do people keep repeating this tired propaganda? What exactly do you think will happen?

Why would Windows 7 not be “safe” to connect to the internet? Do you understand how any of this works?
