Gives you plenty of time to contemplate your backup strategy

What does this have to do with security? Do they expect evil maid attacks on the PS5 people carry around to do their online banking on?

Granted. You should brush up on your tensor calculus, though.

Yes, the sad reality is that Windows is not quite there yet for desktop usage

The top is a left-oriented coordinate system (because the axes follow the left-hand rule, not the right hand rule). Doing anything related to e.g. physics in such a coordinate system is a pain.

Imagine hosting a software on your own hardware and still choosing the one that makes you dependent on the whims of a corporation lmao

Yes. By ‘VPN technology’ I mean e.g. wireguard, openVPN, which are infeasible to ban since companies probably use the same software stack.

VPN technology will never be banned, as most companies rely on it heavily, e.g. for remote work. The only thing I could see is ISPs keeping a blacklist of known addresses of commercial VPN providers, but that seems like an uphill battle

You’re right, that’s what I meant. Fixed it, thanks!

That’s not even an equation, just basic arithmetic

How is this done? Can you just re-enable the feature in the BIOS? And what about machines sold outside the US?

Why not make it a felony to propose laws that are ruled to be “obviously unconstitutional”? A citizen can go to jail for even trying to break a regular law, so it seems reasonable to do the same for politicians who try to break one of the foundational laws

Make it mandatory to institute a 5 year trial phase, during which encryption is broken only for politicians and public servants

That’s one of the major restrictions for casual use, yes. But if these measures are actually implemented, it might be worth it to have a second phone (or some other device) just for online banking

Decorative plants are great, but harvesting something from your plants (especially if that product is otherwise hard to get / of poor quality / very expensive) is extremely rewarding!

It sounds sophisticated to the layman

I’m curious, does EFT work on Linux now? I had a workaround with a windows VM years ago, but the anti-cheat decided that was evil one day and wouldn’t let me play anymore

No, that was my setup for some time. KVM with PCI-e passthrough to pass the entire GPU to a windows VM. Worked great, until EAC started banning me for using a VM.

But those don’t work right on modern windows, either

Mature applications as in tried-and-tested software that will not produce wrong results, right? Right??
