Every time people hear what it actually involves is outrage and opposition, at least all the way back to when Intel first announced that they wanted to hardcode identity numbers inside CPUs in 1999. But the corporations involved have been relentless, and have sunk countless billions of dollars steadily forcing it forwards, and building front organizations to obfuscate and whitewash it.

With Windows 11, Microsoft was finally able to FORCE Trusted computing hardware into every new computer. Not just every new Windows computer, but every computer.

Every new Intel PC CPU has built in Trusted Computing enforcement hardware. Every new AMD PC CPU has built in Trusted Computing enforcement hardware. Every new ARM PC CPU has built in Trusted Computing enforcement hardware. The only processor lines that DON'T have it are the microcontrollers.

There are some unlocked smartphones available, but as far as I can determine it's literally impossible to buy a smartphone that doesn't have hardware trusted computing built in.

I specified that enforcing Trusted Computing at the internet access level is still a long term goal, they couldn't get away with it today. However they are well on the way to success. Virtually all new hardware supporting trusted computing, all the front groups rolling out standards and systems, and as it gets incorporated into things everyone is going to increasingly running into situations where they get locked out of stuff if they're not Trusted Computing compliant. Streaming already restricts you to the worst quality if you're not compliant, and it's only going to get worse as pre-Win11 computers fade out and as more things require it.

I'd hardly call exact date of birth "low information content".

And yes this does reveal exact date of birth, regardless of the bullshit obfuscation that it supposedly only reports age range. The server simply tracks the reported result every time the user connects, and on some specific day the result CHANGES to announce their date of birth.

This is based on SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts), brought to you by the same fuckers making Trusted Computing and the TMP (Trusted Platform Module). It's part of the same shitstack to prohibit you from altering your software and to lock you out of your own files, and to send spy reports out over the internet so you can be cut off if you "fail" the Trusted Computing check.

The software can use a TPM's (Trusted Platform Module) Sealing function to encrypt your data such that it's impossible to access your own data if the software is modified. It can then pass control over that data only to software updates that carry a signed security certificate from Broadcom (or any other company using this system).

It is no longer open source, your system no longer works as you can no longer access your Sealed data if you change so much as a single letter of the code. Even recompile unaltered code won't work, unless you magically manage to get your build environment absolutely identical to the company's build environment and get byte-for-byte output. Even that may be impossible with the newer levels of non-deterministic compiler optimizations.

Also, with TMP's Remote Attestation feature can be used to transmit your machine's software configuration over the internet, so that you can be cut off if your system doesn't match Broadcom (or other company's) cryptographically signed certificate.

And then of course there's Network Access Control (NAC) / Trusted Network Connect (TNC). In the long term, the goal is for ISPs to use NAC/TNC to interrogate your computer for Trusted Computing compliance, and deny you any internet access whatsoever if your machine isn't compliant. Software with this sort of "security" certificate would pass inspection, while any attempt to alter the code would be detected as "tampering". You then get "quarantined". What "quarantine" means is that you are denied internet access - with the exception that you do get very restricted access which can only be used to download the approved software to "fix" your computer into Trusted Computing compliance.

QUAD DAMAGE!

The broader dataset also shows July dominating the hottest days of the year while January owns the coldest..."

What an epiphany it must have been for them when they "discovered" Summer is hotter than Winter in the USA.

I heard that every windmill saves 2 million burrowing owls every year.

We MUST be able to inspect and age verify every AI slop porn image to protect the fictional children!

If you read the article carefully, they are talking about lenses THINNER than a hair. I see several of the posts here thinking the width/radius of the lenses is this small, a reasonable mistake given the way this was written. Having a radius that small would severely reduce their light gathering ability, requiring very bright light or very dim images or very long exposure times.

Saw a website that lets you rate pics of the outed Tea women and let me tell you, it was uuuugly!

Sure, but you wont find forgotten musical gems like the following unless you use youtube.

I know of two:
Floorp Browser. It's based off the ESR version of Firefox.
It restores some of the layouts settings that Firefox previously took away such as sidebars & tabs top/bottom, and they added a few more preferences in Settings for fine-tuning some UI options.

Waterfox has been around for a while now.

Democrats definitely got alot of criticism for STACKING their presidential nomination process by forcing out Biden. Then, without a having a primary, annointing and injecting some accent-changing & race-changing BIMBO who obviously F'ed her way up the ladder, who had the lowest approval rating of a VP in history, who cannot formulate a sentence more coherent than "Trump! Trump! Trump! Hitler! OooohKayyyy....OooohKayyyy....cackle...cackle...cackle".

BTW, Obama heavily pushed for US manufacturing to be moved into China.

The first time I installed & used Windows 11, which incidentally was yesterday, I couldn't find the shutdown button. THE SHUTDOWN BUTTON FFS! Searching on the Internet told me in Win11 you now have to right click on the Start Button to find the shutdown/reboot button-more stupidity from the "change for the sake of change" religion.

Dumb unintuitive designs like this is what happens when you hire for DEI charity instead of hiring for talent.

BTW, if you use Win11, install Open Shell; it will reduce your Windows 11 Start-Menu frustration by 99%.

You are missing the point. Dozens of those forest fires in Canada were intentionally set by ecoterrorists to make it look like the effects of climate change are worse than what they are. Many of those terrorists who were arrested admitted to setting dozens of fires each!

The main story regarding those fires should have been "Climate change supporters are comitting arson to made the fire season appear worse than normal." but right on queue, the subjective legacy media,in Canada, US, and the world, mostly ignored it to push the narrative once again.

In a sense, climate change is causing more fires because those unhinged religous climate change zealots did start those fires in the name of climate change.

Venus gets hot enough to melt lead, it exerts a pressure 100x more than normal, it continuously rains down burning sulphuric acid.

Venus sure sounds like a place women would come from.
