I can't speak for all the products, but from what I have heard it's pretty bad. Pay close attention to the shitposts on UC, they regularly get taken down but have some interesting information in them.
Yes, it does. Wine lets you register a VEH. They do other stuff to prevent Wine and virtual machines in general that I am not fully aware of.
Even then it's just a fancy party trick, you can suspend the process call the decryption function enumerating all the pages and take a full dump to get the binary
FYI; Theia is a very bad product. It absolutely tanks binary performance and does little to prevent a moderately competent engineer from cheating in your game.
Faustian barging, the worst part is people are simple unaware of the dealings
Let's rephrase that statement. My game probably works fine on linux and if it doesn't there is an active community read to support it BUT the person, I purchased this game from said no.
There is little difference these days between the government spying on you and your own device spying on you. The difference is one only cares if you do something wrong, the other one will steal pilfer and sell your data despite already purchasing a product.
It is not kernel level, they use a number of pretty fancy user mode tricks to prevent people messing with the game.
They encrypt every page and register an exception handler that decrypts the page when a fault is reached to keep memory secure. They do cache timing checks to see if a page was recently in the working set outside of the expected control flow and will flag you if you fail the check too many times because it indicates tampering.
They don't officially support Linux, but they allow the community to continue playing using Sober. Honestly it's probably better that way
It is likely a fraction of a fraction of an already small fraction. Textiles, tires and food packaging are the biggest contributors. It has yet to be proven that microplastics are directly linked to any harm, it is mostly unknown.
If you care about that kind of stuff the best thing you could do is stop driving.
I might also point out that Finland has very good social programs, probably some of the best in Europe
One issue is that if you plan to have an expanding family your home needs to retain its resale value to allow you to sell it and move into a larger home to suit your family needs.
The issue is that housing should not be an investment but due to rising labor and materials costs and also more restrictive code, they are now an investment.
This is the first time I have heard of ESPNow, this looks absolutely amazing for situations where I want an esp32 to control something but I don't want to use home assistant as a bridge with esphome
One big thing about steel is actually traceability, certain industries require very specific steels. One example that always comes to mind is Sheffield Forgemaster's who are one of the few places in the world that can make absolutely gargantuan sized castings for nuclear reactors and marine equipment
"Why on earth would they give funding to research if the people who pay for that research (you) actively think it's scam?"
First of all. I never specifically said that the research is a scam. I am fully onboard with real research into the topic to explore the effects on health
"You are arguing that the government shouldn't fund research on this problem (it's a grift)"
That is NOT what I said, I specifically believe the so called "health and wellness industry" is capitalizing on largely unfounded beliefs that microplastics are already proven to be hazardous (not true).
If it turns out that microplastics are actually a serious health hazard, that doesn't even mean that the health and wellness industry is right, they just got lucky on another grift. They operate thousands of grifts every year often selling things that are blatantly dangerous.
I am pro good research. I am anti unregulated bullshit quackery like the below videos

The reason why the price is so high is due to megascalers, production is gearing up more and more since it looks like this is in for the long haul. I would imagine in 5-10 years there will be cheaper prices for consumers.
I cannot find any evidence to back this up that lies in the data of actual pirates.
"Can you describe exactly how (by what mechanism) the government" They give funding to research, that research is published and a scientific consensus is established.
I don't expect everyone to have the same attitude as me, I am an engineer and work on my specific engineering problems that I am most educated and qualified to work on. I would not expect microplastic research scientist to start doing my job. That's the wonderful thing about this planet we live on, there are many different folks with many different skills, and everyone's lives are better for it.
I find your speech hereto be very reductive and confrontational for essentially no reason, and possibly because you skimmed over a phrase in my other comment "personal consensus"
I have not seen any conclusive evidence that microplastics have large, long-standing effects on humans.
"Also, are you suggesting that a pharma company like Philip Morris, with a yearly revenue of $40 billion, part of the TRILLION dollar pharma industry, is somehow less influential than the health and wellness industry?"
Unironically yes, because they are heavily regulated since the early days of the tobacco industry.
I am not a scientist; I would consider myself not informed enough to make a paper.
I have read many papers, I know about microplastics and my personal consensus is that they are not a big deal and the biggest sources of microplastics are from water contamination.
"The fact that like damn near ever regulated issue of the 20th century some big moneyed interests will leverage that concern to create a regulatory moat for themselves, drive business to themselves by force of law, etc, etc. The bone the public will be thrown will consist of making the regulated problem some trivial amount less worse for a little while before the Nt order consequences screw us harder than the original problem in a few decades."
This is a much more elegant way of wording prior to describe it.
If microplastics do turn out to be a big issue it's a public health thing and the government will be required to clean up the groundwater with extra filtration ect. Not something worth spending my time thinking about
This whole issue around microplastics has just become another grift for the health and wellness industry. The supplements industry is worth over $150B dollars.
The main contributor to microplastic ingestion is in the water you drink, this water is contaminated with either parts of your car tire or the synthetic clothes you wear
It's not a flexible specification, its straight up bad engineering. The specification literally says if you do not want negotiation, you must add the resistor.
Buy yourself a handful of good cable for charging. (I quite like the silicone anker 643) And throw everything else away in a box.
For data transfer you can just pick up one or two thunderbolt 5 rated cables, they will do max transfer for USB4, or any other spec in the near future. The LTT true spec cables are fairly priced but there are other big brands that sell the same thing.
Keep a shitty USB-A to C for those devices that do not have the correct pulldown resistor to support 5v 2a charging.
There are barrel jack USB-C adaptors now that you can just glue in place. Very useful for homelabbers.
I would happily be a USB-C enjoyer if manufactures stopped forgetting the stupid CC resistors meaning that you device will not charge with a C-to-C cable.
It should be considered a defective design and recalled, I have been burned several times by this.
"The system does not utilize facial recognition and does not have automated functions, such as automatically running license plates through the state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or Law Enforcement Data System (LEDS) databases. All license plates must still be verified by an investigator and then individually queried through the appropriate database."
This sounds like a lot more than your average flock installation at a local PD

OpenALPR is not open source despite the open name, sigh
Well according to Flock, the data is actually owned by the city and they are already responsible. This is just private sector loopholing
It's astonishing to me that the largest tech hubs in the world do not have the money to invest in developing a camera system that is sovereignly owned by the city. There are a lot of very talented engineers who would work on a project like this. Also simply putting a person in between the information would certainly reduce the profile for abuse with stalking and harassing people
I don't think this is true. With the advent of body cameras, cellphones with cameras and FOIA requests you can build a good case if someone violates your rights. The bigger issues are that there is little to no consequence of a flagrant violation of rights because the police union is VERY protective over its members.
This is false. the HOAs and LEOS have access to the data. Even if the contract specifies that the data is owned by these organizations, they are not the true owners.
I would like to see some evidence of this demonstrated. I feel a large majority of high-profile cases that went unsolved for a long time most often hinged on incompetence or negligence rather than lack of information sharing.
Also, once crime does cross state lines the local FBI gets involved and they have a lot more resources than a small-town police force
