Not all of us will do it to the same degree though. IT security has always been a sliding scale between security and convenience. The most secure data is stored in a locked safe without being turned on or connected to anything. That’s not very practical, so we make concessions based on how often we need such data and other convenience metrics.

I’m not as paranoid as the OP, though I agree with some of the stuff said. Reasonable security measures are fine; you don’t need to look like a digital version of a prepper with a bunker, for most people.

Edit: for instance I don’t use my TV all that much, but it is a “smart” TV, meaning it has apps that connect to Internet, and I have some online libraries.

Ahh, right Acts/Luke, not Peter. Thanks.

Wasn’t the pork thing in the Peter books?

That is/was a legitimate conspiracy theory going through tiktok, at least a told to me a few weeks ago.

It doesn’t really; it’s hyperbole by comparison. The distance from my home to the moon is vast and unwalkable, but if you compared it to the distance between the earth and the center of the galaxy, someone might say it looks like a short walk in comparison.

It obviously still is not possible, but it’s a way to stress how big the comparison is.

Honestly similar things can be said of windows systems, though there are some exploits that get through. Most do rely on the person launching having admin rights.

I definitely don’t honor my father, because he’s a rapist. Which, of course, is not against the 10 commandments.

The purpose of these questions people ask conspiratorially is not to get answers. It’s to foment doubt. They don’t want answers; if they did they could look it up and find an answer. They just want people to start questioning the official story, then they sell their own conspiracy to them. It’s an old playbook, and people like Alex Jones have been using it for decades.

CGPGray mentions this in his older video about encryption. Locks are a deterrent, but a motivated person or government forces can bypass relatively easy. The reason it works is because of the personal danger to people trying to break in getting caught. He used it to contrast how digital locks need to be much stronger since they can be “picked” from across the world without any physical danger of being caught or arrested.
