AI's current writing style on topics like this, is to repeat the same thing in subtly different ways. If you find yourself reading the same paragraph 3 times in a row, then it's probably AI.
Im being a huge guy - can go to the women bathroom
OK
People will exploit this.
Do you? Who is currently stopping you?
Why would someone who wants to batter, rape or abuse another person be stopped by an unlocked door with a little cartoon sign on it?
You're crediting him with far too much competence.
His handler has said he has to continue, and he'll obey
Yeah... I can see how owning "owning it" works when someone has been convicted of standup up for Human rights or something...
But, his convictions are mostly "being a lying sack of shit"
Are people really taking pride in "voting for a convicted felon"?
Na... Honestly
Baldurs gate and bgII had an open world where you could go anywhere. Go to certain places early game, you'd get hard fucked up. Go there later, you could make progress.

Ironically I work in Linux and use Windows and the os to do it. I deploy lots of container Linux from a work provided windows laptop.
And I use Linux at home playing windows games through wine/proton.
Yeah, I'll go with name people here and say such with Windows.
If work provide you a machine, then use separate machines for work and home needs. If you're freelance, when you need to upgrade, plan it well and buy a second machine that is better for gaming/productivity. Now you have two machines and can separate your life.
So... go lookup the CVEs. Go have a look at what the actual threats against the old device are. What's the method of attack and do you care.
If you decide you're happy with the device. Then remember to keep going back and seeing if any new attacks against the device exist.
Whatever happens, we're not protected against 0day attacks (by their very nature).
I guess there is some reason to worry about "unknown" attacks against the device. But like 0day's, there's probably unknown attacks against patched devices as well.
