Because TPM takes the users computer and makes it Microsoft's. It is a builtin, pre-installed rootkit. It was never about making the computer safer for the user, but safer for Microsoft.

I havent seen a blue screen in 10 years, except deliberately when trying new boundaries for over clocking.

I assume it would too, but here's what I'm wondering: Can we use these microscopic structures to make solar panels more efficient somehow?

If you ban SUVs people will drive converted full sized vans and large cab pickup trucks.

My suggestion is not ban SUVs entirely, but require additional permitting heavily discouraging of consumer use. Restrict who can drive them when and where at what speed, and what for purpose. You may need an expensive permit, And take additional training to certify to a higher class large vehicle driver's license, for example.

Full sized vans and large cab pickups for personal use outside licensed work trucks or delivery vehicles etc would carry same restrictions tied to vehicle size and risk levels.

To deal with the affordability crisis. It doesn't work because if you get hit in one of those by an American SUV you might as well have gotten hit on a motorcycle.

That's a reason to ban "American SUVs" not the Kai cars. One of the flaws in the crash safety rating for personal passenger vehicles is we are only considering how well vehicles protect their passengers, and not how much risk vehicles pose to other vehicles in a crash. We should be banning or limiting the speeds and restricting highway use of personal vehicles that are overweight or pose a danger.

You stand corrected after making a bunch of excuses. GFY.

It's a lot of work, and Japanese has a lot of characters.

That they probably use a small subset of, And can have a bot scan their game's text assets for all characters presented in a certain font
and build a font with only the ones used in their existing program.

Shut up dipshit.

It was already an X-Files episode.

Fuck off with your "whataboutism."

You're trying to frame this as a bad thing but the truth is that protecting children under a certain age from the brutal horrors of reality is as vital to their healthy emotional development as protecting them from physical danger is vital to their physical growth.

I would suggest you look at Kagi, or something like SearXNG. I pay for the former, and occasionally use the later.

Kagi can be configured to leave out the AI bullshit, and even in the default mode (currently) does it with a light touch. I don't believe searXNG even has AI search as an option.

This is supposed to be the value of the internet, that if a site starts to suck, we are simply a new URL away from one of their competitors. Google just is not that good anymore in my experience. I occasionally have to use it when using someone else's machine (sons PC, kids school Chromebook, etc.), and I'm frustrated the whole time. There really are better alternatives for search. You just need to be willing to kick the tires on them.

I agree with you on the points about Android and ChromeOS; they're less "Linux" than a Tivo. You're wrong about SteamOS though, it passes every one of your qualifying tests.

to be fair they are italians. Just writing in English is worthy of praise.

Maybe, but these figures already basically match my evaluation of the situation.
