I don’t want to get into specifics because ultimately it just comes down to the logical argument that just because a strategy is not by itself successful against all possible threats it doesn’t mean it’s worthless. By this logic you wouldn’

This is not relevant to memory encryption, after all the police could just plant any false evidence. You use video camera/CCTV and other evidence gathering to document such illegal police action. Suing after the fact is a valid strateg

AGPLv3 still has the termination clause which is at least in the worst case (total failure to comply) entirely self-contained. I'm not however convinced they are really in violation by calling a binary plugin. GPL itself does not forbi

SEV-SNP would actually be a very good outcome. But the Intel equivalent does not exist on desktop SKUs. Meanwhile there's a campaign to make sure every "P"C has a TPM module.

Building out for 100% of theoretical capacity makes no sense but you can still easily accommodate the small handful of power users with plenty to spare. Most ISPs will not drop or throttle users trying to get their money's worth if it’

Right, that's why I recommend linear switches. But they're marketed as a gaming switch and they don't deserve this harmful reputation. They're simply the only non-stupid type of switch. Low profile scissors are a comprom

This is the marketing mythos I was talking about. The best typist keyboard is regular linear switch. Typing without bottom out is impossible. Clicking is just audio. Of course most mechanisms of producing clicking mean some degree of tactil

Most people and companies just use the keyboard that shipped with the computer. I don't think noise is as much of an issue as people make it out be. Marketing made up this story about linear switches being for gamers. So now every mech

You can simplify for your use case (only B2C or you refund VAT afterwards for B2B, you only ship from one location, custom invoicing), but that’s what it takes to implement it correctly on platform level.
