At rhat point it's time to stock up on improvised explosives because you'd be fighting an authoritarian tyrant in a civil war.

That's called save scumming

Basically any kind of encryption. It was considered munition by the US government and fell under that category of export control.

This is a propaganda op [0], all that's being done is keeping up a facade.

Banning math worked so great in the 90's with the cryptomunitions legislation.

Several of the farmers protesting at the Polish botder are borderline state actors on Russian behalf, with connections to government officials being proven. Make of that what you will.

Block any crawler that doesn't come from known ranges that you whitelist.

It's even default on MacOS

That's because of ML use.

How much energy is spent, and how much pollution is caused by traditional finance?

BREIN is run by lawyers, not IT professionals, and it shows.

What alternate universe? I saw goatse as a child and turned out fine.

Goatse is a right of passage and when my chuldren will inevitably stumble upon it one day I will be there to talk to them about it if they feel a need to. At the end of the day it's just a man stretching out his anus in bad lighting.

Not just ecommerce, basically anything that relies on confidentiality or data integrity.

It could be as simple as a microbe that eats an elementary molecule in our bodies that is so foreign our immune system can't spot it. No need to target us directly.

I'll offer a contrast. For me 10 minutes wasn't enough because it made me feel like I lived at work. Now that I travel 45 mins the increased physical distance results in mental distance as well and feels incredibly liberating.

Be proud of it! It's an asset. I know I can't get through that stuff.

Oh nice, I had no idea. I might pull the trigger on black friday then.

It's mostly just that I'm afraid I'll order a board that isn't on the latest bios, which will be a headache.

And an excuse to postpone.

Browser 0-days still often run on user priviledges. The moment you get code-execution on a vulnerable Intel CPU that turns into hardware level access.

And like the other commenter said, there are also JS implementations.

Yeah I'm looking into upgrading my 6500 to a Ryzen 3 3600. It's a shame there's no B550 boards yet.

Since it's Chinese vendors such as Huawei pushing their implementation. Supposedly it's resistant to such interference, now it turns out it's not. Surprise surprise.

Ah, yes, a bug, how unfortunate.

Oh boy here we go. What are the odds Chinese vendors have designed these as bugdoors? That'd give them a good motive to push so hard for this adoption.

Oh man, that article went from super wholesome to way too real. I feel so sorry for that man, I'm donating to his gofundme later this weekend. Something like a patreon would be a good way to generate more income perhaps?
