You got some reasons. But the picture as a whole is different. Many can't make enough money to take care of their loved ones. Many are not lucky to have a grandma that pushed their dad to study. Also one doesn't need to be burned by fire to know it's dangerous.

Wow that's actually really sad. Imagine that happening to people without backups (means many regular people).

The way I do it is I format the drive on Linux. Then format it as ext4 with LUKS encryption. Were you on Windows?

The thing is even if people don't wanna repair themselves they might wanna change a battery. Or get something minor done cheaply by a 3rd party. But Apple goes so far out of the way to kill third party repair. They even put special screws in their machines to screw you.

Edit: The EU pushed right to repair, right? Now see what Apple did to screw France [1]. Their latest and greatest devices somehow have a repairability score of around 6.5/10. How is it possible?

Does that measure have an inherent bias? Is it like saying kids with parents that tolerate each other are successful? When they don't tolerate, they separate and are not a two parent household anymore and so don't show up in the measure. Maybe it just means kids in peaceful households fare better?

I usually agree with leftist views and I feel like having both parents is good for the kid. Maybe only fringe leftists believe otherwise. Or maybe it's lacking context, for example the discussion might be about abusive partners, or single people who don't want to marry but want to adopt a kid.

A bit offtopic. All AMD, Intel and ARM processors come with binary blobs that can't be disabled or removed which could potentially control your whole computer (Intel Management Engine, AMD Platform Security Processor).

Really powerful desktop and server-grade processors are available with fully open source firmware and hardware (even fully open BMC). It's not that expensive, comes with PCIe 4.0 and other modern features [1].

They are POWER9 processors, not x86_64. But many software work on it, checkout 'talos-workstation' on IRC to chat with the users [can access IRC through Element Matrix app] - someone is running Android Studio on it (yeah so much for privacy but still).
