It would also require effort and a degree of hand-eye coordination not typical for those in his age group with his degree of mental deterioration.

This isn’t even necessarily for nefarious reasons. I’ve actually had a case where HR was trying to help by putting in the words that they were stupidly required to find in a resume.

Still not a good sign of a properly functioning organization.

That’s a tough nut to crack. Even as a video game platform, they don’t write most of the software that they sell today. They would need to find some way to convince developers to write software for something that’s not the platform nearly all users are running.

I’m not sure that Microsoft ever did halt going down that path. My wife recently bought a PC that came locked down by default and required some fiddling to allow running unsigned apps. This was Windows 10, not sure about 11.

I think it could be more that broad compatibility with everything is their main selling point, and by doing so they were undermining their own ecosystem.

However, this is mere speculation on my part.

Successful open source software business model at work. Way to go.

It still feels like your intent, but you’ve been rendered massively ineffective and it may take ages for someone to suspect magical involvement.

My first thought was: that's it? Really that little?

But we continued to use the substances anyway because it was cost-effective.

What happens if I say it’s not OK?
