  1. Re:The real (and very bad) message: no updates on EFF Calls On HP To Disable Printer Ink Self-Destruct Sequence (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Last week, after her HP Printer rejected her cartridges, I had a client text me, furious and asking me to disable all Windows updates because she can't live with her computer changing all the time and just wants to get some work done.

    Security updates are important - I'm questioning disabling everything else by default.

    Vegans aim to minimise their use of animals as far as is practical and possible.

    It's not about being perfect, it's about trying to be less abusive by cutting out as many products which cause suffering as possible.

    interesting theory, could vegans use buildings made of this material? Or does their highfalutin standards only apply to multicellular creatures?

    Aww I was going to answer your question, but found it too highfalutin. So you'll have to do your own googling now.
