Builders in America don't understand what the dead-latch is for and over-size the strike plate to save time. If the dead-latch is able to fall through the strike plate, the lock can be opened with a shim. 2/3rds of the reason for the deadbolt on top of the locking latch is widespread installation error of latching locks.

Submission + - Does AI really exist? If so, is it in charge of YouTube? 1

I know some people have accents that are a little hard to understand, but the YouTube process for generating captions is about 20 years behind the rest of the planet — particularly in failing to recognise the context of videos and adapting its dictionary accordingly — you would thing that Russian and Ukrainian names and places would be recognised in videos about ware in Ukraine, even (especially) if not in British football chants.
I was led to believe there was a thing called AI — I can believe the Artificial part, but Intelligence? Not to much!

If you're not confused about what company they're talking about, then what's the problem?

I remember the days when people were talking about Compu$erve.
The problem is that I want a full and intelligent discussion that can stand on its own merits without resorting to name-calling. If you have a valid argument (and there are plenty of valid arguments against TPM) then It's just not necessary to get the point across.

It's hard to take someone seriously when they can't even use the proper terms for things they are talking about.

Sure, you may not like what a TPM is and what it does, but to call it a "Treacherous Platform Module" instead of a "Trusted Platform Model" shows me that you need to resort to name calling just to try and get your point across. Similarly for people who refer to "Micro$oft" or "Winblows", look, I get your point, but you're talking about technical things where correctness matters. At least use the proper name for something and then tell me in a clear and concise fashion exactly why it's no good.
