It sounds like you are unfamiliar with the concept of a protected class. Those characteristics that are protected by (US) law are generally the ones that companies focus on in this kind of data collection.
So rest assured, companies won't treat chin diameter the same way they treat race and gender in an imagined "agenda towards absolute equality in all aspects of life".
I find the language itself to be pretty clear, but since it would be absolutely insane* if crossposting the same content was prohibited, you think that they simply must have meant something else with that statement. Hence the confusion.
[*] To us, but apparently not to them, so let's see where this train is headed next.
> Ex: we have a pretty clear innocent until proven guilty justice system.
The high bar of "innocent until proven guilty" (and "beyond a reasonable doubt") only applies to criminal cases, though, and not to civil ones. The present situation is much more analogous to a civil case where you have to weigh the interests of two parties (i.e., Kiwifarms and their victims) against each other.
It was an example to show it's way too simplistic to view the situation as only "kiwifarms bad". The example cannot be mapped to the situation as you are trying to do. And it wasn't intented as an analogy.
Besides the two parties are not kiwifarms and their victims. The people who are against it make arguments about free speech and whether platforms should be responsible for the content hosted on them. If it was as simple as just kiwifarms vs the victims it would be an open and shut case.
It sounds like you have never been a moderator for an online community of at least moderate size.
If you've never been in that role, it's easy to not only underestimate the sheer amount of garbage that you need to remove, so regular users won't be turned off and leave, but also the dedication and finesse of some of the trolls, who love nothing more than asymptotically approaching that line, without ever fully crossing it.
What you propose is effectively giving these guys a doomsday device (i.e., "if you censor me erroneously, your platform will be dead"). In that scenario, there is a 0% chance that a place like Facebook would not turn into an absolute cesspool.
In this scenario, the server would have already been shut down for maintenance but the company would still be debating whether to hire someone for actually doing the maintenance.
With these cheap computers, the manufacturers typically cut corners on things that are not listed on the spec sheet, though, especially the quality of the trackpad.
We have a bunch of $400 Lenovos at work and their trackpads are absolutely atrocious. When someone is using one of those, they almost always use an external mouse with them, because otherwise, mouse cursor handling is just too frustrating.
The webcam and sound are decent enough for casual usage. The keyboard was surprisingly good.
I can't speak for the trackpad. When setting up the laptop I found it to be ok but I only have 2 occasions of using it for 20 minutes (2 different laptops) which isn't enough time to really evaluate it since so many things can be hit or miss with trackpads. The people who use it do use an external mouse, mainly because using a trackpad is too foreign to them.
Both Lenovos are IdeaPads that were purchased a few years apart. The latest one wasn't to replace the first one, it was for someone else. The first one is still going strong. I had forgotten I even picked a Lenovo the first time around and ended up picking the same brand / model when researching "what is a really good budget'ish laptop for general computer use".
And you clearly need to use sarcasm in a way that is not invisible to everyone but people familiar with the subject matter.
According to the OP, CS:GO is too hard for their new employees to get into, so Eve, which is famous for its brutal learning curve [1], would be a terrible choice for them. After playing it for four years and having created dozens and dozens of notes, I still felt like I understood only 70% of its mechanics.
I struggle to understand why you are so sure of this. Traveling by train is already far, far more popular than traveling by plane in most parts of the world, but you don't see security checks there.
If you keep your files only on your devices and a home server, you are making yourself vulnerable to scenarios like the one discussed here very recently:
In a heavy fireproof box along with the birth certificate, and other important papers. If you want extra protection put that box in a larger safe. This really isn’t a difficult question to answer. If you are trusting a third party to store your things, when something happens to their service or they terminate your account randomly you have only yourself to blame.
The main issue is, as the article points out towards the end, that you only receive all macOS security updates if you are on the latest major version. The two major versions prior to that one receive some, but not all, security updates. Once you are three major versions behind, your Mac does not receive any macOS security fixes anymore, which of course is hugely problematic.
So yes, unless you are completely ignoring the security of your system, losing macOS support is a kind of soft kill switch for the hardware.
There's another way which you could see this, which is that the cost of maintaining backward compatibility for every prior piece of hardware only increases the surface area for vulnerabilities to emerge.
Also, if security is your #1 priority you should pay the cost of the upgrade. Monterey is compatible with Macs as old as 2015. That means that Apple will sunset security support for it in 2024. That's nine years of supported life for your computer – not bad.
So rest assured, companies won't treat chin diameter the same way they treat race and gender in an imagined "agenda towards absolute equality in all aspects of life".
