Or they consider it a birth defect or mental illness that must be forcibly "cured." Probably agrees with Trump that climate change is a scam made up by the Chinese.
Re: Cue the tiny violin solo for the crocodile tears
Maybe if they weren't so freakin' lawsuit happy then people would have been able to cut them some slack, but suing your customers over Steam reviews? What did they expect would happen from something like that?
Probably the same thing Metallica thought would happen from suing their fans during the Napster era. Which was... uhhh... yeah, I got nuthin'.
The dwindling options for those of us who don't want smart (stupid) devices like TVs has been frustrating, but is downright scary when it comes to medical devices.
I have been in a power wheelchair for most of my life and am currently in the process of buying a new one. While going over options with the sales rep, he got all excited to tell me about this new feature where the chair's controller could interface with my PC via bluetooth and double up as a mouse!
I looked blankly at the guy and said, "Please tell me this is optional."
Thankfully it is... for now.
He was utterly baffled as to why I would not want the chair I'm 100% reliant on for mobility and independence to be connected to my PC. Why wouldn't I want the on board computer system that runs the chair talking to my desktop; and therefore, indirectly, the net? Gee, I can't think of any logical reason.
Additionally, he could tell me nothing about the security of the wireless connection - although nothing would make the risk worth it for me. As it is, I worry some components for this will still be present regardless of me not choosing this option.
I really fear the day this 'feature' is no longer optional.
