We can’t even teach humans a coherent world model.

Didn’t other Tesla models have catastrophic exploding suspension problems? Glad to see they fixed that.

ICANN controls TLDs. Nobody can “register it.”

The article is literally about how there is precedent for eliminating a country’s TLD when that country no longer exists, in the .su and .yu domains (for USSR and Yugoslavia respectively).

It won’t happen overnight, but it’ll happen.

The solution must be a hammer, because I have one!

Windows 95 had sleep mode and hibernation. Sleep mode, then as today, writes the system state to RAM, then shuts down power to everything but the RAM. Hibernation works in a similar way, except the system state is written to disk, then the computer is powered completely off. There’s no “do stuff in the background” mode.

Bad actors can afford $50 the same as good ones.

The difference between $0 and $50 isn’t really relevant.

LetsEncrypt is legit. A downside is that the certs expire after 90 days. However, that also carries an upside in that it limits the damage in case a certificate is compromised. There are procedures by which you can automatically renew/request (I forget whether they allow renewing an existing cert or require a brand new one) LE certs and apply them to your application, but that can be fiddly to configure.

If you’re not comfortable with configuring automatic certificate cycling, a long-term paid cert would be more appropriate.

Shits.

Gorf.

You must have watched some other video than I watched then. He blathers about (paraphrasing) “if you link to any firearm accessory, even a holster, they will delete the video and your channel.” That’s just not true.

Maybe OP did that, but that’s exactly what Rossman is saying in the video.

Maybe he’s saying that those people have an unusually short distance between their armpits and their hips?

Rossman apparently doesn’t know how to read.

It’s also possible to have Windows log in as a specific user at boot, without user input. Regardless of operating system, your logged on session is in the context of some user account, whether you interactively log in or the system does it for you.

The PIN is stored locally on the machine only. It doesn’t get synced with anything anywhere. It’s actually much safer to use a PIN for authentication because it’s four digits that you (well, maybe not you) don’t have to write down, and the only time it works is on the physical machine. The user account password can be long and/or complex, but if you’re only ever authenticating at the keyboard, all you have to remember is the PIN.

No.

If you’re talking about desktops, there is a huge cost involved in switching to an entirely new operating system. I’m not just talking about “How do you get it installed and configured on n laptops for users to then use?” Those users will require training in order to use it - and allllll of the new and different applications that run on that new operating system. (Users are mainly just button pressers, and when you change the buttons …) The alternative to the above would simply be to disable Recall via group policy. Done and done.

If you’re talking about migrating Active Directory to some Linux LDAP centralized authentication, that’s going to introduce a whole lot of other complications. Not impossible, no, but it would be a very long, time-consuming, and costly process.

If you’re talking about servers, you surely know that lots of companies run Linux servers on the back end. When you’re using Windows servers, there’s a reason. You want/need to use MS SQL, or Exchange on premise, or SharePoint on premise, for example. Are there other mail servers, database servers, collaboration servers? Sure - but again, switching from an existing platform to a different platform is costly.

These transition costs get exponentially higher when you consider whether companies actually have the in-house expertise to be able to pull off such a thing (Narrator: They don’t.)

I’m guessing that alternative front ends (piped, FreeTube, whatever) don’t give YouTube the same metrics they would get if I was using YouTube directly? I will continue to deny them the data they so desire.

Do people avoid Chromebooks for the same reason?
