Why do you want to inflict an annoyance and deliberately waste 0.1 seconds (or whatever amount you deem appropriate) of everybody's time? Slowness should be a deliberate, individual choice. I'd be happy if there was a global cfg v

Absolutely (well, if you add the missing comma :) ), just less efficient. That 0 has to come from somewhere, while in the other case XORing a register with itself does not involve loading any data. It's also shorter.

I know Homeassistant can be somewhat polarizing, but this is (once you're familiar with its syntax) fairly trivial. For example, a condition triggering when the sun is 10 degrees over the horizon: trigger: - platform: numeric_state

It is. It's just that compromising the last line of defense, without compromising the ones which come before it, is not the end of the world. It's like if I could wave a magnet over your encrypted backup tapes, ruining your restor

Indeed, at higher speeds it would waste an awful lot of time waiting for ACKs, and that's why XMODEM ACK Spoofing was a feature of higher end (error-correcting, obviously) modems. They would recognize the protocol, immediately forge AC

You're not wrong, but this is exactly the use case for a USB security stick. The key is in there, cannot be extracted in any way*, can only be "used" (not accessed or copied, just used for crypto operations) while the stick i

ICF is pretty much bomb research masquerading as civilian fusion research. Always has been. Any money spent on it is not at all badly misdirected, it's rather accurately directed, you could say.

Uranium, being so energy dense, is quite practical to ship from anywhere in the world, and there are stable and democratic countries with ample reserves - so please don't use such a lazy argument here.

This is an enormous stretch. Binning mostly allows manufacturers to avoid having to throw away ICs with certain defects, selling them instead as a different SKU (fewer cores, lower clock, worse power consumption etc). I think Intel abused t
