"Normal" user can not disable update. The reason people complain about the updates and reboots they can not stop is because it works. MS surely has tons of statistics about how many % of user actually manage to run an outdated sys

Your answer isn't in weight but I asked how heavy it is, I expect a weight as answer. Also I just doped a 1KG block of iron on my head from 1mm distance and it didn't hurt me. Then I cold rolled the block of iron into a 4x4m sheet

Have you ever tried to correct something on Wikipedia? I did, many times its reverted by some account that has more rights than you due to the fact that he wrote more than you. The system rewards people who write more with more power so the

I can disagree with someone calling something "evil" but there is no disagreement possible if people feel the need to mix politics or other unrelated topics in their way to express an opinion. Ccryto can not be right-wing just as

How heavy is 1KG of iron? Asked because not asking is apparently stupid but the question isn't.

A slot machine in Vegas is objectively worse then a decentralized slot machine simply by the fact that someone takes a cut (Up to 25%). A decentral gambling system can be truly "fair", no third party that always wins. Regulations

But decentral system are useless and everything works better if centralized ryt? Funny how "blockchains" solve problems exactly like the one you just pointed out.

Thats pretty much the default state of any blockchain like systems. You need a private key to write to it. Its just that in most public blockchains can have an infinite amount of new private keys can be generated an and some kind of token i

Not sure what you mean with "safety critical". I made no such assumption. Also since the topic is about a (write-only) log it probably doesn't need such low latency. What it more likely needed is final states so once a entry

The whole reply I post here is made from letters that I copied out of a Harry Potter PDF. Clearly that's not how copyright works.

Far more likely this would be done by "criminals" and they dont care about the law especially the law on the other side of the globe.

If a system is critical it should run on multiple machines in multiple locations and "sync with checks" kinda like the oh so hated and totally useless blockchains. Then if such a bit-flip would occur it would never occur on all ma

Funny how the BTC maxis suddenly accept the fact that China could do an 51% attack, now that this is about to change. But in the years and years since China hosted over 50% it was always denied by the same people who know point out why this

Such a large attack would likely be the end of BTC so the strategy better would bet on it not coming back a better stagey would be to sell the hardware but make sure most of the units sold operate in a pool you control you can have multiple

In theory yes but it takes while before difficulty adjusts and since the price also doped it likely doesn't matter much. Its more of a problem security wise. There is now guaranteed hardware out there that can produce more than 50% of

But no one actually cares if it meats the requirement. What matters is only if it runs. Unless you need some kind of MS verified system. The fact is the leaked version runs on a 10 year old toster. the only limit is 64-bit CPU.
