Depiction != Endorsement. Are we going to require all future fictional portrayals of the Salem witch trials to feature token minority characters too because we need to hold people in another reality to the same standard of the ones we are i

Microsoft indeed make their sources available for review by major customers including governments. From what I heard this is done under NDA and reviewers are forbidden from taking the code away from MS facility.

This has been known since Ryzen's release - it struggles a lot with AVX2-heavy codecs such as VP9 and x265. If hashcat was compiled to take advantage of AVX2 then this is expected.

I don't think it is unreasonable to assume everyone already has a 64-bit capable PC considering the most recent mainstream 32-bit only CPU is 2004's first gen Prescott Pentium 4.

I've seen plenty of badly designed mobile websites over the years and these sites seems to have turned out okay - most mobile browsers keep the option of "Request Desktop site" very accessible for a good reason. The worse cas

Conceptually this isn't all that different from having a website that works in browser A but not B due to insufficient testing. Why did they not fix it?

Not the case in China when you could buy a "customised image" of windows that installs in 10 minutes and without all the nagging notification about activation and patching. There is a huge shady industry of preloading applications

No, there is a good reason why they cannot be updated without issues and it has little to do with product activation or anything on Microsoft's part. A lot of these cracked copies of Windows were installed by cloning a master image, wh

Can somebody explain how this will work? AFAIK it does not even check for obvious things such as vmware processes running in the background.

Indeed. In 1825, France demanded a sum of 150 million francs to be paid by Haiti for the loss of French property during the war two decades ago and threatened miliatry invasion in the event of non-payment. The sum was later reduced to 90 mi

Yeah, most low load power consumption measured from the mains socket is hogwash - my current PSU regularly pull 50W or more during standby. The alternative measure is to put a clamp meter on the EPS12V line, but this is unlikely to be accu

Yes, more reasons to avoid seafood coming out of Asia. As I mentioned above, polluted feed from Europe is already adding to the problem.

The western shore of Jutland may qualify as the North Sea but the other two regions definitely don't. Morever, the top layer of the Kattegatt has a much lower salinity compared to the ocean due to significant outflow of warm brackish w

Not really, similar techniques were developed as early as.the 70s and there are sufficient doubt that the student project in the news did not go as well as they claimed, nor was there any report of reproducibility in a controlled laboratory

This arises from a mixture of two things: A strong agrarian tradition where no piece of human waste is going to be left festering in the sun - somebody is going to pick it up and make good use of it. In all seriousness this has been the cas

Custom built PC is a small slice of a shrinking market. Until AMD recaptures the server and OEM markets they won't be unseating Intel anytime soon, and they just don't have the resources to get started yet.

Falun Gong is not an ethnic group, and a lot of their stories don't stand up to scrutiny. Organ harvesting from prisoners still happen, but the extent has been greatly exaggerated.

I am not going to contest that, but nothing has came out to support the claim of "systematic organ harvesting in tibet". I work with surgeons who specialise in liver transplant and you usually want to position donors as close to r
