    The new safety features all break down under stress and make the tool as safe as the 1996 piece as soon as you put them in a dangerous environment.

    Also, both the new and the 1996 pieces have hidden explosives that were placed there by the new tooling used to build them. Nobody will tell you where they are, you should know that already. Don’t hit them.

      Do they? As long as you use RAII and modern shit and keep to something like GCC, it should be safe, right?

      I don’t do C++ these days

        Are you phishing for an Anakin / Padme meme?

      Like a real powertool, if you unscrew the safety features because you feel they’re getting in your way, they no longer provide safety. Having the guard from a chainsaw in your back pocket does nothing to protect you from the chainsaw you’re holding.
