Windows 10 is just fine if you disable all updates and never install anything suspicious.
I have 3 copies. My oldest and first Windows 10 dates back from 2016. Never updated since. Works like a charm even today. Never had a single issue with it. While it kept crashing every times I did the few updates before I decided to throw the towel and disable every single update service and update hooks.
The best way to control a company or a small country is to buy the CEO/President, in the shades.
Firefox was on top in the past. It got trojan horsed.
lol are you kidding ?
The US is fast becoming a bad example for everything.
Even the Justice is being weaponized. It is really sad for the world. And they go around the world lecturing people.
yep. You still have a critical mind.
This feature has been lost in the Western world among the majority.
Now the Russians are saying Zelensky is bombing his electric power plants in order to blame Russia.. while they sarcastically know full well its the Russians who are bombing them.
ok so we have to believe the lies from NYT then ?
the NYT knowingly said the Hunter Laptop was fake news in the runner up of 2020.
March 2022..oohhh sorry... it was in fact true.
You and your party destroyed any credibility in the news Mister Obama
Understanding where Russia is coming from is a thought crime now. beware.
If you are not AC, your life will be canceled.. Your account seized.
You are not free to express your opinion anymore.
the resident slashdotters said Bitcoin completely useless.
Ukraine is using it now.. Its legal over there!! Millions pouring in.
Russia might use it to sell its gas.
Slashdot still saying Bitcoin is useless ?
what happens to them when Putin decides to use tactical nukes.
It seems to me, Putin is all-in.. Do we want this ?
POS networks will not be attacked by single persons.
They will get controlled by a cartel of token owners.. So OP was right by comparing it to the banking cartel.
And they will not attack it to lose money. They will not attack it. they will take CONTROL. Just like the current banking cartel.
POW networks don't work like that. Miners are living on the edge of profitability in order to just validate txs. That's it. They have nothing else. And they need to shop for the cheapest electricity.
They keep the hashes, ditch the blocks. Once downloaded they compute the hash for the block and compare it against the stored one.
The computed hash must be valid against the stored hash.
and so what?
You have a wrong hash. But you can't recreate the data. Its lost forever unless someone gives it to you. Imagine that all available historical nodes give you the same corrupted data. You are kicked out. game over.
In the end the decentralization of the network will be based on the number of historical nodes, which in Bitcoin is called Full Nodes but Ethereum pumpers decided to change the meaning to suit their agenda.
51% attacks already exist on PoW networks. Not sure where you're going with this. The only way PoS fails where PoW succeeds is if too few "small" parties agree to stake. 51% attacks under PoS will only happen if everyone just throws their hands up, says "no thanks", and hands control of txn verification to a few small parties.
Small networks yep. But not on Bitcoin. Because in the end POW is protected by ENERGY. The energy available on earth is finite.
POS works differently. If your entities under your control have 51% of the stake (similar to a company where if you have 51% of the shares you take control), you have absolute covert or overt control. Depending on your strategy for profits.. covert or overt.
That power allows technically to change the past covertly or overtly depending on the number of nodes on the network and the ability of node operator to influence to politics of the blockchain.
PoW transaction history cannot be changed without doing the work again. Energy protects the data. It is based on the assumption that anyone is able to run nodes and be able to keep in check the miners. You as a miner cannot change the difficulty. Its part of the algo.
That is why most Bitcoiners are small blockers. They want african laptops to sync the chain and be a node. this unable them be work as a full peer.
POS client don't have function to change history of course. It would happen by the works of insiders who own 51% of the tokens being staked. The assumption also being that there a few nodes in the ecosystem to keep them in check. That is what big centralized blockchains are .
this has been in the works since 2017.. so why pushing the narrative now?
Besides the author conveniently avoid the cons of Proof of Stake.
POS is similar to the banking cartel, except it uses a blockchain to keep track of who has the decision power.
POS networks are effectively controlled by a cartel of big entities who control 51%+ of the stake.
POW transaction history is protected by real energy. Txs on a POS blockchain can be rewritten at will by a majority.
There are already many POS networks. EOS is one of them. Ethereum is riding the hype of POS but once reality sets in, people will see the limits.
Fix the Money. Fix the World.
Bitcoin is fixing the money. And thus will fix the world.
Next step is Silver Market Cap.
Easy money on the table slash dotters.
