The inverse is often true thanks to Linus’s Law.
The article you linked seems to suggest that Linus’s Law is a mere suggestion, at best.
No one is suggesting that open source is inherently less secure, just that the vulnerabilities are easier to find, and thus easier to get exploited. For a third party reviewer there’s a lot of incentive not to report bugs they would find in banking software.
If your software makes your clients’ life easier and your internal operations cheaper/faster/whatever, it’s a competitive advantage. Why would you give it away? Corporate greed or healthy competition, I suppose, depending on your point of view.
I just might, maybe after I finish the current playthrough. Collecting achievements is a job for plague runner.
Although I probably should play it once before the update hits. Then I can join the complain-train, when the new mechanics ruin everything /s
what does annoy me (dunno whether it changed after the patch) is that things like legendary sandevistan heatsinks are only available via crafting.
I’ve never used sandy, but now I’m annoyed, too.
Actually, the whole idea of crafting annoys me, especially how it’s implemented in CP2077. I can suspend my disbelief for a while, and accept quickhacking as advanced tech, no problem. But dismantling an ashtray, a pack of condoms and a shotgun, and turning the parts into a leather jacket, while sitting on my bike in the middle of a highway? CDPR, you owe me an explanation.
Such things should be available (at stellar prices) from shady dealers at high enough stats and street cred.
This is the way. I wouldn’t be sad, if this was the only way. It just doesn’t make sense, that some pampered corporat learns, in a matter of days, the skills to build smart rifles and kevlar vests. There apparently are people in NC, who make a living as techie. How is that possible, if acquiring the skills is so easy? Same goes for every smith in Skyrim, etc.
I do. 2008, Sims 2. I owned a legit copy, but the DRM was too much of a hassle, plus I didn’t want my kids to scratch the discs. So I pirated a playable, child-proof version.
