You know how I know you don't know anything about security or computing?
Because I have reasonable views about security drawbacks? That when I see a vulnerability, I also look at the whole situation and decide if that's an acceptable risk, rather than screaming "Security issue!" at the top of my lungs and pretending that patching this one vulnerability somehow makes a difference when there's always another found the next week??
Security isn't free, it costs us by making it harder to get work done. "Security researchers" only know how to cover their ass. I can do that without their shrieking cries of wolf.
"Might as well not bother patching this actively-exploited security vulnerability, there'll just be another one in the future, " LMAO
You lack nuance in comprehension of complicated subjects. Are you a security researcher?
