I'd be more interested to know if the PHBs home world was issuing visitor visas

You can setup Certificate Authority Authorization in your dns to do just that.
Add a "CAA" record for your webservers domain with "issue your.chosen.ca.here"
You can add multiple records too when planning to switch CAs.

A browser receiving a cert signed by any other CA will fail SSL validation.

Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all check these. I only assume Edge does too but never actually checked that.

It's only been part of the TLS standard since 2010 so depending on the client application, it's possible it goes out of its way to not check this validation step. Most TLS libraries do check by default however.

Some people see a picture of an HDMI overlay, others only see a rabbit.
Try relaxing your eyes and letting them cross naturally. The important thing is to not give up!

When I was in the xbox xcloud beta, they initially only released an Android client, which I ran on a samsung galaxy s20.
It used a snapdragon cpu, and a family-matching gpu (Sorry, I never really memorized the chip names in the mobile arm world)

The big deal with xcloud was that all the heavy 3d rendering was done server-side, and only the final video frames were streamed to the device.
Basically if your device can watch youtube, it has enough power to play xcloud.

MS stated after the beta they would also release windows, iphone, and xbox one clients for xcloud.
It seemed a tiny hdmi stick akin to a fire stick or chromecast would be an obvious end-goal, which is why the article here is so strange.
There's no real reason the hardware needed would be a cost problem.

Here's an article from a month ago that has more details
https://www.protocol.com/enter...

No FET transistors made with "14 nm process" or better technology, which is a FET with a gate size of 20 nanometers or smaller.
No memory with gate sizes of 18 nanometer or smaller.
No flash storage with 128 layers or more.
No fab gear or any other equipment that aids with photolithography.
Plus no services or tools to use any of the above.

So in a sense, yes, we are saying it's against the law to give them the hardware needed to do math faster.

They will eventually figure out how to build the fabs to make such hardware themselves, the same way we had to figure it out, but they are hoping the development and design process takes longer than signing a purchase order, and slow the progress down.

A counter argument is that "art is in the eye of the beholder"
Not just the properties of that art, but even if I consider it art.

You say intent behind it matters.
When I look at some cable harness assemblies, I see beauty and art.
The intent of the assembler was a functional system that is easy to maintain and diagnose.

Why shouldn't I see that as art, simply because the creators intent was not to make art?

Moreso, not all assemblies look like art to me. A google image search on the term provides plenty of ugly examples.
Here's one of those I find to be beautiful

Haven't you ever looked at something that occurred in nature and thought to yourself "wow that could be a work of art!", despite being completely organic with no intent behind it at all?

What does this mean for paintings of flowers? If flowers in nature can't be art due to lack of intent, why would an artist ever have an intent of duplicating such a scene? Only for it to just then become art?

I don't disagree with your statement regarding curating of art, except in that the curator curates. What is curated (those things being art or something else) isn't changed by the curating of those things.
But yes, the curation as a whole, a different thing (sum of the parts), can also itself be art.

Shh! I think this is a great idea!

Now I can just go to some .eu website, keep hitting refresh, and send the website a bill for the bandwidth consumed over my in house Ethernet!

The European Commission would never pass some unfair law that doesn't apply equally to all network providers... right? ~

The last 486 system I worked on was early last year.
This was an embedded SoC of course. The modules are about $60 USD and only about $10 of that was to license the CPU core. It even came with onboard ISA (for pc-104) and PCI controllers.

We had to support an old latency sensitive BacNET TSR library with the additional requirement of fat32 support.

It used to be based on FreeDOS, and was DOS 7 via Win9x before that.
It didn't utilize any of the Windows shell or GUI at all, it was just an unfortunate MS licensing thing.

Those older ones were the 128 MB RAM versions, but today they also have 1 GB chips.
Here we still use Linux kernel 2.0 and DosBox to host the TSR and DB2 engine.
(A nice legacy stack of turtles all the way down!)

In the SBC/SOC world, Free DOS and MS DOS are king.
Windows 95/98 are trivial to run on a 486 with full DOS support, but isn't common due to the RAM requirements. Windows compact still works fine.

Anything with an NT kernel would be both surprising and very specialized indeed.
At that level the more common options are Linux, QNX, OS/2, and VxWorkx instead.

That said, you're quite right that this will have little to no impact.

Embedded systems are still manufactured with the 486 core. It's an easily implemented core and licensing it is surprisingly affordable.
However these systems are rarely network facing in any way a kernel security patch would be helpful.
We already custom built user-lands since their purpose is very different from what desktop distros aim for.

There was video of a white agent provocateur calmly smashing windows at a retail establishment prior to one of the BLM protests.

Iâ(TM)m not defending damaging property and looting.
The insurrection, by comparison, had people that knew what they were there to do, and did it. I think youâ(TM)d be hard pressed to argue that Antifa secreted members among the insurrectionists and manipulated them into an almost successful coup attempt.

My biggest qualm with Netflix is that their model seems based around producing more hit shows than they are willing to bank toll for the long term. I'm generally not a consumer of the newest must see lastest TV. Compund that with Netflix canceling shows left and right, and now I have no reason to subscribe until the series finale. If the show gets axed, then I don't sub, and I don't get left with an unfinished story. My other qualm is the autoplay snippets when you're browsing content. I might have kept my previous subscription longer (after Stranger Things S3), but I couldn't get over the constant chatter when I was looking for another show to get into.

Perhaps you're thinking of the "workgroups" flavors of client OS?
"Workstation" was used somewhat interchangeably with "Client" starting with the NT kernel.
The head developers of the NT kernel were previously DEC engineers, where the client/server model used in the PDP/VAX world was long solidified before Microsoft existed.

I still have a few boxed copies of NT 3, 3.5, and 4 up on my shelf as mementos.

Each one has a number of fancy certificate style papers inside that are titled "Client Access Licenses", or CALs for short.

Some are called Device CALs that license device clients, aka windows desktop OSes, to access the NT server.
Some are called User CALs that license a user account from a client to access the NT server.

Client access licenses is still the term used today:

The PC as in "Personal Computer" the "branding" was pushed by IBM, and the idea of a computer that is personal was pushed by many companies in the old 8-bit days.
Yes, this was originally to break from the Mainframe model.

Microsoft however has been pushing for the old mainframe licensing model from the very beginning of NT.
Or at least the mainframe model of getting paid per client device and per user account.

I don't think there is any vestige of "personal" at the root of any of their software since the golden MSDOS days.

The point however is that using "workstation" and "client" interchangeably is as old as the PC industry itself, and doesn't carry any hidden meaning or is evidence of any recent changes in ideology.

Anyone in tech who's been paying attention for the past 17 years has heard of RED. They've been making cutting edge digital video cameras for years, and it's hard not to encounter media that gives mention to them and shows off their capabilities.

If a geek, not just a movievideonerdgeek, was going to geek out over a video camera, It would be a RED. Or a FLIR, I suppose.
FLIR is not an everyday product for most of us, but I would expect most tech enthusiasts to be familiar with them. Granted, they have been around longer.

Your correction is too sparse and confusing. Do you mean the one minute this month was actually during last month? Or was the minute this month during next month?

In other words this bill doesn't require filtering similarly to how the DMCA doesn't require responding to takedown requests.

I wonder then if auditing of the filters for accuracy will be treated equally to the DMCA counter-notice process too?
