I don’t buy the argument the GPUs aren’t powerful enough. They are orders of magnitude stronger than the original hardware.

All communications were unencrypted because encrypting them would have incurred unduly burdensome processing. Nowadays computers can encrypt and decrypt on the fly for virtually free.

They don't have the right to do this. Oracle safeguards the JavaScript trademark against abuse with it's powerful legal teams and has a track record of good stewardship. These guys want to hijack their property and let it loose to the wild west. Who knows what unethical actors will do with it..

Ask workers of cell phone stores and you’ll find that figure is way off. Not everyone wants a case. Having a case significantly changes the feeling of the device in hand.

Some people consider that a security feature.

Having a house burn down is comparable to 25-75 years(most people get a mortgage) of labor toil loss, which is enough to push most humans to the point of debilitation, or at least they can only do that amount of work once or twice per lifespan. It’s hard to quantify suffering but yes I’d agree the physical suffering toll on their body and mental facilities required to work that long period of time does seem somewhat roughly comparable to the acute loss of a major limb.

Your own definition of violence includes damages to property. And besides, damaging someone’s personal property is effectively the same thing as damaging their person. Because property takes time out of a persons life to earn, therefore depriving someone of their property is almost exactly the same thing as depriving them of their life / health.

Not 100% sure this counts but I noticed that yesterday Reddit.com, on a default signed-out profile, was recommending me a /r/ "Cyberstuck" subreddit via the front page which was actively condoning and encouraging violence against teslas. Given that tens of millions of people view the front page daily, that could probably reasonably be construed as mass inciting of violence, and Reddit is well known to be a primarily Democratic instituion.
