So it went from “consumers don’t know any better” to “if consumers haven’t aggregated all this data to prove it, it means they’re dumb.” That’s a big fuckin leap, you know, to go from “it’s because they lost a file and are too dumb to understand” to numerous people reporting failures of their drives, to where they are unmountable, and it’s their fault for not collating all the data first. One might even call it “moving goalposts.” I doubt people who are busy worrying about lost data have the time to be organizing a nationwide call to data harvesting for this.
For someone who ostensibly hates capitalism or something, you sure have a funny way of showing it by defending corporate malfeasance by claiming consumer stupidity. Which once again is elitist, and hypocritical coming from you, specifically. Maybe try practicing what you preach.
