I wonder how much (if at all) the new Windows 11 security features would protect against this sort of thing. Given the fairly vocal resistance to the TPM 2.0 requirement, if the answer is nothing, then I wonder why it is even necessary. As

This is a really good point you make. A simple example for me is how the ATM replaced the bank teller, but the ATM has been replaced with cards with chips in them. It’s a subtle, but huge change when magnified across society.

If we’re lucky, we’ll end up where we need to be - performance per dollar. But that’s probably a big “if”.

That you are linking to a bootleg copy of video on this thread is...ironic, to say the least.

My son has my old computer for playing fortnight. :) So I'm reading up on TrueNAS to see if that's the way for me to go. Frankly, I love my Synology, but it at EOL (can't do the new version of DSM) but my needs are pretty sim

Probably common, but connecting that function to the web (via PHP in this case) is pretty stupid. I would think it would run a firmware function to do the resetting, and if not that, then some sort of sell script that is not callable by the

This makes no sense. They could do a simple transaction transferring it to a 401c3 entity and be done with it. The idea of a public company, a public benefit company, a university, a nonprofit, and 800 million dollars changing hands in th

Thanks! You know, as much as I see people complain about their jobs or companies they work for, Chris Roberts has been able to figure it out. His delivery isn’t the best, but many people love the work he does, and that gives him a job for

This is incorrect. I live in Houston and am intimately familiar with power in the state. The priorities are (generally speaking) as follows: 1 - Critical infrastructure (hospitals, etc); 2 - Interconnects on the T&D infrastructure; 3
