Yeah sadly now it’s the 6 o’clock news.

The original at least had some levity.

But you also failed to provide any concrete examples of what is supposed to happen to my Windows 7 machine connected to the internet.

What security threat, exactly? If you can show me that, I’ll buy a new PC with Win 11 this afternoon.

I feel like watching Disturbed’s cover of Land of Confusion again.

Wow, so when you cut yourself shaving, it bleeds like in the WWE, you go to the ER, and it takes months to heal?

It nicked his ear. He bled a bit. It healed. Besides, he’s old, how could you spot a scar among the hair, wrinkles, and moles?

We’re big bags of water, but ears are thin flaps of skin. Guess what? That pressure wave probably moved the ear out of the way.

Sheesh, what personal soap opera are you invested in so that you can’t see the absurdity of your position?

You have provided no substantive evidence of what I can’t do with Windows 7. You have provided nothing but vague fear-mongering while inflating your chest about what a biker bad-ass you are.

Yet you refuse to see that other people also make trade-offs. My tradeoff is that sometimes I can’t install piece of shit software like KiCAD that somehow requires Windows 11 to move lines on a screen.

No big loss.

What is it defying?

I don’t think I’m “at par” with Microsoft, what kind of sickness is this? Your brain fascinates me.

“There is a reason no one serious uses win 7 online anymore”

Oh I see, you are a serious person doing serious business. Serious serious serious. Meanwhile not a single concrete example has been given to me about these serious things I can’t do.

“Same reason cars without seatbelts are few on the roads.”

There is no overlap between the physical world and software delusions. There is no physical safety hazard here. Meanwhile, millions of motorcyclists use no seatbelts.

Again, your brain is fascinating.

So basically, you derive your identity from this.

Bad news if you’re a tiger, I guess.

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.

Imagine pirating all that, not paying for it, AND having Blurays?

What else are you doing with those 15 minutes, working on world peace?

Imagine going to thrift stores for 15 minutes after work and ending up with all of these on DVD?

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?
