This is a symptom of the absolutely insane way digital payments work.

You give a company your card details and they're able to charge whatever they want, whenever they want, by default. That's like paying at a restaurant by handing the waiter your entire wallet and telling them to take out the cost of the meal.

A lot of crazy "supernatural mystery" stuff consists of listing a bunch of things that are more-or-less true, but omitting one or two really important facts in an attempt to make the other details seem odd.

It's not ai generated for what it's worth, it's a really old meme screencap that's been badly ai upscaled for some reason.

Well, Fromsoft had a good run.

Maybe we'll get one more game out of them.

Redfall being a prime example. We kept hearing how Microsoft was happy to leave those studios to it, to give them the time and resources they needed and they still released dog shit.

Yeah, the studio that developed Prey (a dumbass name that zenimax forced them to use) went on to develop Redfall after Microsoft bought them.

Clearly they were a bunch of idiots before the acquisition who had no idea what they were doing, and the only problem afterward was that Microsoft didn't boss them around enough.

I learned better in 2012 when they tried to put an Amazon search bar in their start menu, the same thing people are complaining about with windows today.

If I wanted to use corposhit I would have stayed with windows.

It only breaks asymmetric encryption like SSL and PGP. The strength of symmetric encryption, like you have with password protected files and drive volumes, is reduced somewhat but should still be more than sufficient.

And like the other commenter said, there are asymmetric algorithms that are quantum-safe, they just aren't in widespread use (though apparently just this year NIST announced a standard for lattice based cryptography).

Most diagrams don't include the mesentery, so people just think their intestines are sitting there like a pile of rope inside their torso.

It needs a port that you can attach your bag of caffeinated noodles to.

I don't think I would have brought a new person into the world during any of the other time periods you mention either.
