Exactly. When the person who holds your purse strings decides they don’t like something, they can influence you by simply… taking away your financial backing.
Who hides in a Pineapple from the FCC?
EDIT:
…and once again, warnings stating “DO NOT BUILD THE TORMENT NEXUS” go ignored.
Oh no, just like if you were actually hired to do a red team simulation for a business! They would have strict rules of engagement and certain systems would potentially be defined as off-limits.
How terrible of Hackthebox to *checks notes… promote industry standard Red Team practices.
provides more security than windows.
Doubt.
Yeah, if you have a fucking clue what you’re doing which most casual users don’t. (That includes me.)
The only significant advantage it has security-wise over Windows is not defaulting to an admin/root account and instead requiring an elevation of privileges.
…but even modern Windows does the same now.
Exploits exist for Linux and other open source products, corporations with Linux servers and GNU utilities get hacked… I mean fuck just go look at all the CVE’s, they don’t make them for nothing.
Thanks, my point is simply just that data is still physical, no matter what.
A document locked inside a box that I personally don’t have a key to doesn’t make the document inside of it non-existent, just inaccessible to me, personally.
Still there for the duration. Being encrypted just makes it akin to being inside a locked box. Being in RAM is like it being transferred in an escrow service.
I guess hard drives and SSDs don’t count as physical somehow?
Even on a streaming service, the files are stored physically somewhere.
All media is still, technically, physical media.
Even when you stream it locally and don’t have access to the file itself, it physically lives in your RAM for the duration of the stream.
Is it that or is it that the laws are selectively applied on little guys and ignored once you make enough money? It certainly looks that way. Once you’ve achieved a level of “fuck you money” it doesn’t matter how unscrupulously you got there. I’m not sure letting the big guys get away with it while little guys still get fucked over is as big of a win as you think it is?
Examples:
The Pirate Bay: Only made enough money to run the site and keep the admins living a middle class lifestyle.
VERDICT: Bad, wrong, and evil. Must be put in jail.
OpenAI: Claims to be non-profit, then spins off for-profit wing. Makes a mint in a deal with Microsoft.
VERDICT: Only the goodest of good people and we must allow them to continue doing so.
The IP laws are stupid but letting fucking rich twats get away with it while regular people will still get fucked by the same rules is kind of a fucking stupid ass hill to die on.
But sure, if we allow the giant companies to do it, SOMEHOW the same rules will “trickle down” to regular people. I think I’ve heard that story before… No, they only make exceptions for people who can basically print money. They’ll still fuck you and me six ways to Sunday for the same.
I mean, the guys who ran Jetflicks, a pirate streaming site, are being hit with potentially 48 year sentences. Longer than a lot of way more serious fucking crimes. I’ve literally seen murderers get half that.
But yeah, somehow, the same rules will end up being applied to us? My ass. They’re literally jailing people for it right now. If that wasn’t the case, maybe this argument would have legs.
But AI companies? Totes okay, bro.
…but then how will they rent you services like heated seats?
They need to be able to turn cars into a glorified gacha machine so that they can make money from Whales, too! /s
We’ll see how this fares in the face of Chevron being rescinded. Will they even recognize FCC authority to do this?
Pretty sure all new rules like this must be made my congress now…
Hoo boy we are fucked.
Yep if the MB has a PS/2 slot this is the solution.
You can also get a usb to PS/2 converter so you don’t need an extra keyboard.
Oh agreed, wholeheartedly. I really just meant that if you’re going to push crypto to consumers, giving them nonsecure options is pretty bad.
GIFs exported in the original file resolution are usually pretty damn big, but I don’t like giant GIFs myself, so I’ve found the 480x270 to be a good size to keep most of them below 25 megabytes.
Convenience and security is a balance.
Everything that is convenient is not secure.
Everything that is secure is not convenient.
Crypto that is “easy” screams “these people will lose all their money because it isn’t secure.”
When I realized I could just make high quality GIFs with KDEnlive it was a game changer.
And this is literally why people like myself hide my cancer from my employer.
US discrimination laws are a fucking joke.
Money talks and Israel has the money, Palestine doesn’t. Same as it ever was.
