The right wingers here have been weaponizing the government by using unrelated grant money to control speech at universities. They've used regulatory agencies to force content changes at media networks, up to outright forcing a political commissar to monitor speech being installed. They got the Smithsonian to remove a factually accurate historical exhibit and now they're reviewing the content to ensure it "presents America in the right way", the kind of content censorship and rewrites they've already forced on national parks. The list goes on and on.
Nothing the left did even remote approaches the outright abuse of government power to forcefully suppress free speech coming from the right. But disingenuous fucking liars like you want to not even bothsides this, but say the right isn't doing it but the left is? Tell me, how bad is the panic attack when you have one of those brief moments of clarity when you realize how deluded and evil you are before you run back to suckle conservative propaganda to calm down?

This seems to be caused by "helpful" memory tricks. Windows just leaves everything in memory and marks it as some kind of status that's supposed to leave it available when actually needed for something new, but this doesn't work so everything starts behaving like there's zero memory available, thrashing the disk with huge amounts of page file activity as apps start behaving like there's no memory available. I find if I restart a particular service that is terrible about holding 'modified' pages, then use a memory clearing tool (I rolled my own but SystemInformer (ProcessHacker) has an option to clear all standby categories too), I can keep Windows (at least LTSC with updates disabled) stable and responsive for months (8, last time).

This is a marketing lie to drive adoption of Win11. Shame on /. for repeating false Microsoft claims as fact.

SOME VERSIONS have support ending on that date. Some versions are already out of support. Most importantly, some versions have mainstream, non-ESU support ending in 2027, 2029, and 2032. And not only that, for most use cases these are by far the best versions of Windows 10 (and for a lot of the cases where it's not, 11 can be worse because of them throwing out a lot of compatibility capabilities).

Stop posting this misleading marketing lie.

I remember people here on Slashdot trying to tell me SecureBoot then later TPMs couldn't be used for DRM. You were just some dumb paranoid troll who didn't understand the technology.

Horseshit. "Traditional media curators" brainwashing people like you for decades is how Trump won the general elections. Maybe if you said the first primary. But you had to get in your jab at "liberal" media Fox News, the largest news network and epitome of mainstream media, has programmed you to.

So the streaming services like Netflix and Hulu are social media too? They have an algorithm that curates a section of personalized recommendations.

Estimates don't fail in only one direction, and yes it's bullshit that someone 18-21 would have to submit a bunch of ID documents because the system thinks they're 16 or 17.

It's worth remembering too about that case: The government had a medical expert witness that testified it was impossible for the actress to be 18.
Using a system like this to try to tell one *teen from another *teen is insane. There's absolutely no possible way to tell 16-19 apart that would be more than a sliver above random chance. Then you're still going to have an unacceptable false positive rate all the way down to 12 or so.

Yes, spyware in products is of course an American problem, not a global one. The foreign companies that make all our crap turn off the spyware for models not sold here, I'm sure.

People had that hope for bodycam footage but police were hardly going to let themselves be held accountable... it's now routine to refuse access and cameras 'malfunction' and footage disappears so often to be blatantly deliberate. Good luck getting any footage unless it exonerates them.
With Ring here, just watch it become policy that once police request footage it's blocked for you if this actually started becoming a tool for accountability.

Europe isn't immune to rising right wing governments that absolutely care about what porn you're into because persecuting LGBT people is one of their top priorities.

There's enough ignorance on the prohibition side. If you support drug policy reform, don't do ignorant shit like blame Nixon for everything. Drug prohibition at the federal level began with the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act of 1914. It was racially charged from the get-go, the first target being Chinese opium users. In the era of the well known "Reefer Madness" film, the federal effort was led by Federal Narcotics Bureau head from 1930 to 1962 Harry Anslinger, who openly used racial slurs and promoted messaging alleging marijuana turned black men (hard r-s being used) into insane violent rapists, and caused white women to go to jazz clubs, among many other insane racist propaganda hurled at various racial and immigrant groups. This is the era the famous Nixon staffer quote is talking about. He laments that you can *no longer* just say n n n, but need to use the more subtle language and policies they used.
Nixon certainly expanded the targeted groups and continued the slow rampup that started in 1914, but it's false that drug arrests hit an inflection point under his administration or the laws passed by it. They continued increasing close to the same rate.
The major inflection points, where the modern mass incarceration drug war began as arrest rates spiked, came later, from bills introduced and sponsored mostly by Joe Biden, who led the charge making it a bipartisan issue and outflanking Republicans from the right on it. If you're looking for what single individual is more responsible than any other for the modern drug war, the harm Nixon did doesn't hold a candle to the giant blazing dumpster fire Biden spent his early and middle career kindling.

Millions? You think millions of actual humans saw some random police department's Facebook post about some mundane petty drug bust, before this became wider news after their denial? I seriously doubt it got millions of views even counting bots. That's off by several orders of magnitude if not more even for NYPD or other massive departments.

Even more impossible in this reality, Camacho was presented with evidence he was wrong about the plan not working, and actually listened and changed his mind based on evidence. That's completely unrealistic for any GOP president, let alone Trump, a man who makes every character in the movie seem brilliant and well spoken.
Idiocracy is now a story of hope; a much better functioning government run by smarter and more reasonable leaders than we could possibly hope to get from our current one.

The Enterprise LTSC versions don/t have free public downloads and they're the only useable version for anyone who wouldn't let MS put video telemetry in their bathroom.
