Your response was to go completely into the weeds. On what planet is $250k in equipment a lot anyway? Saddest brag ever.

Hahahhahahahhahahhaha

Never heard of Fox or Sinclair huh?

They're the two most popular "news" networks and both are ever so slightly rapeublican-leaning

But after 10 million compute hours it's still setting up the board.

Don't suck a billionaire's dick and tell me it's a lollipop.

I explained what I was thinking in the prior comment.

So it sounds like you know specifically how they identified the user's CPU. What means was actually employed?

It's all been over since we got processors with microcode, which could have something like a TPM in them. I'm not saying all of them do or anything like that, only that any of them could.

If you really want a computer you can trust, you're going to have to get vintage about it.

FWIW, I have two user accounts for different purposes. I once had three, but I stopped doing that one. My main user account has read access to the specialized one, but that one doesn't have any access permissions to the main one. It can be a bit of a nuisance, but it feels (and should be) a lot safer.

In 2026 you can just say democrats. We don't have to pretend the Republican party or anything else but batshit crazy religious lunatics and fascist psychopaths anymore. The Democratic party isn't perfect but we are so far past both sides bad at this point that you can just say Democrats and we aren't going to get upset. This isn't 1993 we don't have to pretend partisanship matters anymore.

As for the Democrats fixing shit not a chance. Not because they aren't going to try but because holy living mother of Christ where the hell do you begin? They are going to have their hands full, assuming Trump ever leaves office, just trying to keep everything from collapsing. And in 2 years the dipshit voters who put a pedophile rapist in the white house twice are going to vote Republican because the Democrats won't have fixed every single fucking problem in their lives that they caused by voting Republican.

70% of baby boomers voted for Trump and 65% of the older Gen x voted for him. There are days when I'm not at my kindest and I really wish the Boomer remover had done its job. I also wish the American left Wing would stop blowing off young men and calling them small dick mediocre rapists... It would be really nice if the left wing would stop bitching about patriarchy long enough to remember that not every single dude on the planet is a fucking rapist pedophile and that maybe they ought to do something about the fucking economy and jobs or at least mention it in passing in between blurting out dumb shit like defund the police and then having to spend 30 minutes explaining what the fuck that means to nobody in particular

Basically the center is too busy trying to fix the messes caused by the right wing and the left are too busy playing around with their dumb hobby bullshit. We don't have a chance of breaking up any of the trusts.

Although private equity is made the healthcare system bad enough that the doctors who have real money and real time for lobbying or starting to step in because it's affecting them directly.

Because there's less choice every year. They don't have to care about what you want or what you think. Because it's so much easier to just be the only game in town and if you don't like it well you can't even go fuck off to the mountains because they own that land too.

I remember reading a post from a guy who moved from super liberal Oregon to the land of the free that is Texas expecting it to be a lot cooler because there would be less government regulation and he'd be able to do all the cool stuff he wanted to do like drive his ATVs and go hunting and shit. Only to find out that any of the land worth doing any of that on was already owned by other people with a lot more money than him and there was fuck all for him to do in Texas. You didn't have to worry about following the rules when you were out in a public park because there weren't any. At least not the kind he was used to it from Oregon.

I guess what I'm trying to get out here is you don't realize what you lost until it's gone. We lost antitrust law enforcement and we still haven't realized what we lost...

No. Larry Ellison is a well known piece of shit. If you support him then fuck you too,b because you're also a piece of shit, just like everyone who voted for the orange child rapist.

IME it mostly works now. It's always slow and stupid and the UI is crap, but most of the features work most of the time

No, most people do not have a motherboard TPM, it's in the CPU.

Spying is a primary use of AI and it makes spying on more people more feasible.

It's the rapeublicans who are raping children. Literally marrying children so they can rape them.

Did not read your defense of child rape
