Your hardware is incompatible

I think you'll have an extremely hard time finding any hardware that supports Windows but can't run linux. With Win11 requirements it's much more likely to be the other way around.

Your applications/games only work well on native Windows

Personally, every game I care to run works perfectly fine on my Steam Deck. I refuse to play any games that require kernel-level anti-cheat. It's officially distributed malware if you ask me.

Well, it's an order of magnitude less force than the "server room" experienced, considering the whole rack of computers was compressed into a solid mass.

SanDisk SD cards are actually rated for up to 500Gs, and with how light the SD card is, it can survive these indirect impacts more easily. "1000s of Gs" is just a completely random estimate considering how some of the other heavier internal camera parts were damaged (a circuit board connector sheared off).

They used 3 mini PCs with SSDs, which all of them were completely smashed and unrecoverable. the flash chips were all cracked or missing.

The SD card was from inside a titanium cased underwater camera that was mounted outside the hull. It wasn't actually in the implosion, it just survived the shockwave (which was probably 1000s of Gs, so still impressive)

Yeah, I'd expect this to be similar latency and accuracy. Lighthouse can do full 6dof tracking at a room scale too, not just sitting head tracking for a seated position like it seems opentrack does

The user does have to log in again to access the second TTY. I don't know exactly what Hyprland's settings do, ~~but "allow_session_lock_restore" doesn't sound like something you want turning on randomly while an attacker is sitting trying to access your computer.~~ It's very possible the crash itself was caused intentionally by the attacker in that case.

Edit: Nevermind "allow_session_lock_restore" is just for saving open windows and stuff, so not really an issue. Restarting the lock screen however is very much not something you want to do while trying to keep an attacker out of your computer.

These steps require logging in again. I don't think it's secure to have it automatically try and fix the lock screen, since it just introduces more ways to potentially bypass it.

LLMs have a bit of RNG sprinkled in with the if-else to spice things up.

Ah okay, so not really anything other than their word then... I was kinda hoping there was more to it, but I guess we can hope this ceasefire lasts.

they cannot heavily bomb Gaza

I'm out of the loop... what's stopping them right now?

I don't know how it went down, but I'm pretty sure they didn't have to give the Sheriff anything. He'd have time to go over the subpoena with a lawyer the same as if it was just mailed. It doesn't sound like there was any warrant for the Sheriff to perform a search or do anything other than drop off the papers.

What does any of this have to do with the government forcing backdoors into otherwise encrypted chats? The point is that nobody but the recipient should be able to read it, not even governments.

 

I was on a road trip through the prairies and had to stop on the side of the road to watch the northern lights. The entire sky in all directions was lit up. I was able to take this shot with the big dipper visible.
