Not exactly. Security patches aren't like bugs or features where you can just roll a new version. Often patches need to be backported to older versions allowing software and libraries to be "upgraded" in place with no other c

Imagine if one day someone came up with a "better" way to chew food, but you had to learn how to do a super complex jaw movement and it wouldn't work in restaurants. It has no obvious benefit to you. The only motivation is th

It all seems like a backdoor to let tech companies build power generation on site without all the red tape and sell the excess power to consumers. This indirectly allows them to offload some of the fixed operational costs onto consumers. We

It is a simplification, not a strawman. If you want to make the decision to install Hay Day, the user should be able to know that it is the Hay Day from Supercell or from Sketchy McMalwareson. 99.9% of apps should have no issue with their n
