600megawatt is not much and you cant call something that leaves nuclear waste behind clean.

It didnt help that they outsourced some of their engineering to russia before ending that in 2022 either.

zoom free version. phones, tablets, laptops or pc with built in cam or reasonable quality webcam.

Well his pay for "verification" is almost certainly collecting him a lot of money (indirectly) from the kremlin who want these bots to appear more legit and are prepared to buy that tick to do so.

Or install enough grid scale storage to level it out.

The way my employer tells it they say TPM is good to make it harder to steal data by physically cloneing hard drives (bitlocker/windows). If it just boots no further input at a minium an attacker needs to know how to sniff the lpc data at boot or attack the login to pop up a shell and ask for the keys. Possible. But if someone is serious about protection and you are a business person or have state secrets, and are doing it right then tpm wont unlock without further secrets, so the machine wont decrypt a bootlocker hdd when powered on and attacks against local login wont work. So if it gets taken out the back passing through an airport and hdd cloned the clone remains encrypted and they cant copy the high strength key out the tpm and dont have the time to attack password or boot process that collects the user secrets. This is what TPM is for, and for that it works.

Bingo. This is how you get the trust. AI reports, no way. There is enough reason to not trust some police now, add AI on top of that, and it is a disaster. Relying on anyone to do anything they don't have to is another disaster. Police will be pushed to make quotas, and they wont have the time or interest in cleaning up an AI draft when it's good enough and they don't care about the results and just wan't to move on.

Well it was never found to actually be sending this much data. This article is just clickbait nameing 2 companies who's equipment was probably fine, and a guy who could have made it up for laughs or at least didnt know enough about computer networks to monitor the traffic any other way to prove anything. Yet here we are. Did you know my toaster is sending 7TB a day according to the foobar app on my phone?

Bingo. you know what you're talking about. And the main threats against the integrity of our elections are well funded, technically capable nation states. They have their own AI, I am sure. They don't need to pay a subscription to law abiding US companies. The solution is actually in education. Think now about advertising campains to educate adults about the risk and how to fact check information. Put the same in the school education system, and fund the schools better. Make sure enough people can see they are being manipulated. This is not solveable at the source and such a law promotes a false sense of security.

They said contractors could plug in usb sticks while not being watched. There is 1 ingress. They also said they're airgapped but I bet against nation state attackers they have a way to bridge the airgap. Maybe someone plugged 1 network in to another they shouldnt have, or maybe with sound or light or maybe something as braindead as compromised machines on both networks with wifi hardware under attacker control.

In Australia Dab exists but its expensive and few people care. AM and FM exist and thats good enough. I only ever swap over to bluetooth and stream from my phone when FM radio drops out, or there is nothing on. For the most part fresh 92.7 is good and easy and its a nice way to hear something new and learn about the good local events.

Bingo. Cloud makes sense for the small to maybe medium operator where the 1 offcl costs and staff costs blow your budget. If youre big enough to employ some skilled staff and run enough hardware at 2 sites for sufficient DR, this will be your best option provided you have the right culture to attract the right staff who can and will do it right.

I do agree, but know that you can mostly avoid the bloat now if you just find the inf files on or in the 200gb package and right click and install the .inf file then install just the drivers when manually installing the printer. Dont run that setup.exe that installs the junk.

Surely the defacto standard for desktop linux is ubuntu? Its the flavour most provide first in the list of packaged apps for linux, often the only one. Now redhat have done the damage wrecking centos, lots of users from there have come across too. The other distros wont go away, but if you want standard desktop linux its gotta be ubuntu. you want something else, not a problem.

Yep. But you can do both. I bet there are millions of bot farms in the USA and elsewhere seeding and spreading conspiracy and division on the socials and comments everywhere. And then more of them hosted by other countries too. So many bots causing huge social problems.
