AI is a metric fuckton of cons and a tiny pinch of pros. Typically we allow bad things to happen if they come with a greater amount of good, not the other way around.

Some scientific studies have found that permanent DST is about 2/3rds as good as permanent standard time:

And others have found that permanent DST is the worst option:

Considering Trump is pushing this it's probably lucky that he's not manually adjusting the time zone to suit how he feels with no warning.
As we used to say in the security profession, the weakest link is not the software, or the hardware, it's always the wetware.
Because unlike software-based solutions, it can successfully hide the information from the user (barring any hardware vulnerabilities). The problem isn't just that hidden information can exist on the system, the problem is that the root user can't access the information. Being able to access the information is what made DRM crackable. Without that, it could be possible to make a DRM system that actually works, which would be the worst invention in the history of computing. If the user can clear it but not see it, that does nothing to make that less viable.
No strawman, it happens almost every time I express concern at the possibility of TPM enabling a working DRM system.
Riot's "Vanguard" anti-cheat system traditionally runs deep in the Windows kernel and starts with the PC, but a June 2026 update allows it to launch with a game if security features such as TPM and Secure Boot are enabled.
Anyone care to once again reassure me how TPM, a system for hiding information from a computer's user regardless of privilege level, can't be used for DRM again?
Just be evil . . .
Hint: Find out what kind of government Henry Kissinger considered to be a greater threat than communism.
I find it difficult to believe that you are quite so uninformed about the real situation on the ground, but if you're a professional troll you're really bad at it.

each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary,
Exactly.
Oh, you got a job as one of the Pentagram's force of "Cyber-warriors" I take it? I'd rather live under a bridge than become a war-whore, but to each their own I guess.
It's between Chums Corner and Interlochen (Interlochen State Park also hosts one of the few stands of virgin white pine in the state.)
Perhaps you missed it, so I'll bold the important part:
1) Article 5 only requires other NATO nations to respond as they feel appropriate to their own national interest. Full involvement is not required.
What national interest does the the US have in any Estonia or any of the Baltic chihuahuas, other than as a foil to annoy Russia with?
Two considerations:
1) Article 5 only requires other NATO nations to respond as they feel appropriate to their own national interest. Full involvement is not required.
2) Estonia is small enough that Russia could overrun the entire country in a couple of days, long before the NATO bureaucracy would be finished dithering about whether to respond or not.
As has been demonstrated in Ukraine and Iran, the US is now a paper tiger, with a military armed with finicky, high tech weaponry which is easily overwhelmed by a flood of low cost disposable drones. For example the multibillion dollar THAAD system protecting (for the gods only know what reason) Israel was disabled by some drones costing about the price of a used BMW attacking the long range radar systems it relied on.
It seems intuitively obvious to me, which means that it might be wrong. -- Chris Torek
