But this issue wasn’t found because of code analysis per se, but because of microbenchmarking.

Oh, we play dumb ad-hominem without any basis in reality?

I can play this too: Was your last school homework hard?

If the vulnerability is in the wild, what other security mechanisms do you have until it’s patched?

The only real downside on the open source side is that the fix is also public, and thus the recipe how to exploit the backdoor.

If there’s a massive CVE on a closed source system, you get a super high-level description of the issue and that’s it.

If there’s one on an open source system, you get ready-made “proof of concepts” on github that any script kiddy can exploit.

And since not every software can be updated instantly, you are left with millions of vulnerable servers/PCs and a lot of happy script kiddies.

See, for example, Log4Shell.

That does make sense. But still, making a powered chair is not at all technologically difficult. You need the chair, two motors and an input system that works for the user.

Sure, if there’s a lot of bespoke parts and manual labour, coupled with basically no economy of scale, it’s going to be expensive. But it’s not difficult.

It’s expensive for sure, but that’s mostly because powered chairs are made by medical companies and in comparatively low numbers.

A mobility scooter has almost all components a powered chair has, and these can be had for as little as €1000.

The technology behind a powered chair isn’t hard.

And even if we use the high price of a power scooter: How much does it cost to make a paraplegic person walk?

Another thing to consider here: the player characters are absolute heroes in most campaigns, not just the average rando peasant. So the stuff they have access to (magic skills, potions, money, …) is not at all an indication of what the average person has access to. Maybe that bias causes some players to lose touch with ingame reality.

In most magic systems (RPG and books/films) using magic costs the magic user something (decades of studying, exhaustion, life force, mana potions/crystals, …). So it would be natural that they want to be compensated for their work.

So depending on how difficult regrowing an eye is for the magic user that could be quite pricey.

Some magic systems also require the magic user to exactly picture what they want to cast. Not sure if anyone can actually picture all the connections of an optical nerve.

In our world we do have the magic to push a wheelchair around, and it’s not even hard to do this. Tinkerers can cast the spell of self-propelling wheelchair in their garages.

But magicing someone’s legs to work is still a far way off.

(Remember, when magic is well explained and documented, and people get used to it, they tend to call it technology.)

I thought the last one was going to be “…so I can talk with my boss.”

“I thought I was your old friend!”

Mini6: You rolled 18d6. Your result looks kinda high. You punch through the darkness and hit the wall you couldn’t see behind it.

Dread: You toppled the Jenga tower. You are dead now.

The word “dwarf” derives from the Old German word “dwurf” which has evolved in German to “Wurf” and is equivalent to the English word “throw”.

You want some stern words?

You are a useless peace of dead weight in this community. Your comments suck and you have no idea how people work and how to professionally communicate. I hope you never have a job, let alone one in a management role. You should leave and never come back. Get aborted retroactively! You make the world a worse place by your mere existance!

How do you feel about that? Are you going to change your behavior because of these “stern words”? Or are you going to think “What an idiot” and ignore everything I said?

And we both are just anonymous randos on the internet and while this comment is public, not a lot of people are going to read it and it will have zero impact to either of our lives.

Now imagine I was your boss, both of us are publically known people and I post this on the company social media account together with your full name.

And people still dig this up 10 years later to laugh at it.

Please reconsider your interpersonal behaviour.

I hope I never meet you. You really don’t know how to human.

And if you want both piracy and the convenience of Steam, there are always key resellers.

I did post an exact description a bit higher above, but you focussed on the one detail that really doesn’t matter in this equation (ARM vs x86, even though it’s exactly the same in that regard, and there are also x86 Android devices) and neither read nor understood the rest of my answer.

And you used that missing knowledge on your side to invalidate my answer without even understanding what it was about.

And you could, very big revelation, also just google before posting nonsense.

u/EatYouWell responded exactly the right way.
