That is what secureboot is used for, however it can be used for real useful purposes.
The most important step is to take control of the keys, which with framework you actually can do: I removed all keys but mine, and the machine works beatifully...
I believe a requirement to open ALL specs + code and complete access to the device would be better.
Imagine the terror of manufacturers that a discontinued device could become better than their new replacement through sheer user power.
The calories you ate 10 years ago are no longer supported, your life will now be terminated for a previous lack of calories hitherto unknown.
This is how stupid it sounds in my mind.
Because number must go up very fast in this AI bubble market.
> Also, the hyperbole of "breaking inboxes" by sending a few hundred emails - what is this, 1993?
The Czech electronic id system collapsed during last week's elections when it got to the insane rate of 100 requests per second... (averaged - 1,5 million in 4 hours)
Never underestimate how these systems fail under higher load.
> Crowdstrike supports MacOS endpoints as well so there's no reason this couldn't happen on a Mac.
yes there is: 3rd party kernel extensions are not allowed on mac, so to get the machine into an unbootable state is quite unlikely.
All security software can do on macos is hook itself into apple's APIs (System extensions and Network extensions in Apple nomenclature), which provide it with events.
From what I heard, MS will be going the same way long-haul.
Think fanotify and nfqueue APIs on Linux.
In KMail I have the "download messages for offline use" option, accessing cached messages offline isn't an issue.
Remove from server is still an issue, but again "archive" plugins exist. (that is NOT user friendly, I'll grant you that).
Thunderbird has both these options too. AFAIK the "full cache" is called "synchronization"
I use IMAP because I have my main machine with offline cache and all the archiving bells and whistles, and then I want access on my phone, with synchronized
IMAP also supports server side search, so even mobile clients can search the whole email database quite well. (except encrypted mail, few and far between)
I agree that IMAP's most dangerous feature is the server propagated message deletion. But if you don't trust your provider to not do that, you have bigger problems to solve.
Use quality mail clients; on mobile that's a challenge...
I'm not saying it is, I'm saying the author shouldn't have final say on how the work gets reused.
> I don't think the original author should have allowed that (as an author has final say in whether/how their work is adapted).
I disagree, once you put something out into the world, you lose control what people do with it (unless the derivative project is tailored for financial gain, then it gets a bit more complicated).
In your case parodies shouldn't exist without the original author's consent. That's a sad world...
> An ID card is a far more practical solution.
Not for proof of residence... For that a {gas,electricity,water,internet} bill is better.
You'd be surprised by the number of people not living at the place listed on their ID, for any number of reasons*.
Off the top of my head:
Living with partner and unmarried, exchanged flat parent/kids, not wanting to go through the hassle of updating ALL information everywhere after moving out from parent's...
Let her rip, and may the strongest and luckiest survive. And also richest, because as the black plague proved in Europe, the rich have the capability to do social distancing from society.
> What are we supposed to do with that information?
Your doctor tells you that you have terminal cancer, what do you do with that information?
Pedantry accepted. 9 and something years: built in 2016. Sorry.
Europe is an overregulated innovation stifler. Stop being proud of it.
A relative just recently bought a used car, an 8 year old car.
I had a fit of laughter when the screen booted up proudly announcing "certified for windows Vista" .
Nothing physical can keep up in novelty with software, stop trying to make it so.
All great ideas are controversial, or have been at one time.
