It's when $$$ started being at stake that all of a sudden people gave a crap.

Plus I'm just salty about some of the BS Microsoft got away with early on. Ping of death, autorun.ini, file preview, and all those painful experiences wrangling Windows in the 90's and early 00's.

I disagree with their line of reasoning.

I would put the genesis more at the foot of computers in general entering the business world more and more. When it was just a bunch of academics and nerds trading bits of gossip and tech info there was no monetary motive for the criminals.

I’ve gotten back from vacation and I’m going to start all over this weekend. Likely play a Forest Elf Ranger.

Played it past the opening with all the brain worm stuff but that’s just about it. Been two weeks so not sure what I had originally picked.
