That's not good: https://develop.trustedcomputinggroup.org/ is only a default web server info page, and a mismatched SSL cert. Not reassuring.

Don't see any utilities there for reading my TPM chip. I don't trust these chips at all, seem like something to put other people's data on and keep hidden from me, even though it's my machine. Do not want.

I am not anti-bitcoin, but that is completely pie-in-the-sky thinking.

This! G3 is just pointless to me, cannot stand it.

Never heard of it before, but it's not bad, I like the look! The opposite of looking at (the new and old) Gnome 3 - Some kind of abortion of a Mac interface, it sucks horribly. WTF is wrong with those people? Gnome 2 was my favorite at the time, Cinnamon for me now.

> TPM is under control of the user. It's on your machine.

Oh really? So please explain how I look at any of the data stored on my TPM.

Huh? No, not at all, what the hell are you talking about?

I imagine that the first question after installing Linux would be "Now how do I sync albums that I bought on the band's Bandcamp page onto my iPhone?" As far as I'm aware:

- iTunes for Windows uses the Apple Mobile Device Service driver to sync over a USB cable, and drivers don't run in Wine.
- libimobiledevice on Linux can write files to an iPhone but not the music database that the included Music app uses.
- Though the VLC app can play music from files, nothing but the included Music app can make playlists containing both purchased music and rented music from the roommate's Apple Music family plan. Not all bands are with a label that's on Apple Music.

I left Windows on her laptop and turned off S Mode.

Many new computers with Windows 11, such as a Lenovo IdeaPad that my roommate received as a birthday gift, come set to "S Mode" and will not run applications from outside the Store. There is a way to disable S Mode permanently on a particular PC. This shows a sequence of alert boxes whose wording may be scary to particularly nontechnical users such as my roommate.

As long as they are license manufacturing chassis, plan to replace the software with domestic products and not buying knock down kits from China that should work out well for everybody ... except Americans, they'll be stuck with gigantic pickup trucks that start at 80.000 USD and underwhelming and overpriced ICE powered passenger cars due to protectionist import restrictions.

Unfortunately for every one of you there are at least ten others that behave the exact opposite way.

In my part of the United States, both Kroger and Dollar Tree impose a surcharge for cash back on a debit transaction. Walmart still does not.

The claim was that trade deficits were the closest thing to an emergency that the President could find as a justification. I explained that the fentanyl use epidemic was the other justification, which some people might have an easier time accepting as an emergency.

As I understand the executive order abolishing de minimis entry, the tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China aren't based on trade deficit as much as on these countries' failure to cooperate in preventing fentanyl and fentanyl precursors from getting smuggled into the USA.

Is he the Commander of Keen Technologies?

There is danger to the user's bank accounts from running an app that was made for the primary purpose of enabling financial scams, social-engineering the user into draining their life savings. The previous featured article states that the initial set of countries where Google plans to put this policy change into effect (Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand) are hotbeds of scamware distributed through unknown sources.
