I will note, the bypass was entirely incidental and I was locked in to beating up Ridley without wave beam or varia suit so I just rolled with it all the way to the end
I commented "laptops don't get slow, software does" on a video on upgrading your laptop and WOW was I taken aback by some of the response.
People actually believe degrading thermal paste is to blame for a messenger app taking half a gig of RAM?
That the Epic games launcher takes ages to launch because it has so many features?
That a news website is downloading and interpreting a small operating system worth of code for-what-reason-exactly is the march of progress?
I was told, "if you boycott every game that is made using any AI stuff, this will probably be your last year playing most games."
Two years back a bunch of photographers and musicians I followed decided NFTs were the future. I stopped buying their stuff.
NFTs died. Blockchain and crypto are dying.
It's within our power as consumers and creators to say "no."
When someone puts a knife to your throat (and that's what "AI" is to many creatives), you're not obliged to point out your carotid.

A creature whispered.
« Yes, it is safe. He is sleeping! »
Once these words have been uttered, more creatures tip-toed into the room.
The first one points to a red book that lies in front of the sleeping inhabitant.
« That's the book! We have to be as silent and quick as possible! »
Now, one of the other creatures took a book, a quill, and a bottle of ink out of a bag they had been carrying. They set to work to copy the red book.
The work was almost done when the human awoke.
"What kind of creatures are you?" he asks.
« We mean no harm! » They say. « We are Goblins. »
Now the human wonders. "But why are ye here?"
« You are the only one with this tome of knowledge, we need it, so we have to copy. If you could let us finish? »
"Oh sure!" the librarian said. "And if you need to copy other manuscripts you can just ask me, I'll gladly help you!"
This is why you may see a goblin here and there in that library, copying ancient manuscripts. Preserving it for goblin generations to come.
It is brighter than ever.
@autisticadvocacy personally I have an app called DeafNote. It's made for Deaf folks but is the only app like this I've found for android! You type on one side and the words appear upside down on the other. Great for ordering food/coffee/etc or communicating with someone standing in front of you. It has a text to speech function as well. Iphone version is called FlipWriter. Here's what mine looks like:
