A slightly better soccer player can add millions of spectators to each match that team plays. So, the player is indeed causing a production that corresponds to his cost.

Finger print scanners are fooled by gummy bears.
Where I work, the scanners are quite high. Way beyond the reach of even the tallest gummy bears.

I'm ready to switch passwords for anything else as long as:
1 - It can't be extracted from me by an easier method than torture or blackmail.
2 - It stops working forever if I'm dead.
Otherwise, some blood will have to wash away the naivete. Again.
Even Baskin Robbins knew to stop at 31 flavors.
Indeed.
99% of games have absolutely no performance issues on a Mac. They also take waaaay less space in a Mac's SSD. And they are also way cheaper.
