This might not be such a good idea as Vegas was begging Canada to come back. Their tourism isnâ(TM)t what it used to be and talk of 51st state has turned off Canadian tourism.

You can always make your own custom Secure Boot key database and sign whatever you want.

It's even easier on millions of Dell and Alienware computers that used the test key as their production Platform Key. You can just use the leaked private key to modify the keys without being easily detectable.

If what he did was so simple, why didn't anyone else do it before he did?

Despite his faults, he was still a legend. And his fanboys will still be his fanboys no matter what you say.

Knowingly.

climate alarmism always has a home on Slashdot.

Microkernel architectures still always involve doing a full context switch when moving between processes. All the registers need to be reloaded, importantly including the entire page table. The page table flush is particularly painful.

I live in rural Maine and it was taking 7-9 days, now down to 5-7. Same day or even next-day delivery here would really change life.

Water is pretty cool on the moon, but it needs more carbon.

There's always "powershell.exe -command ..." to get PowerShell to download an .exe from a web server and run it.

"PC" meant "primary cassette", the main paper tray of HP printers of the time. Other paper trays connected would say other things there when out of paper. "Letter" is the paper size.

...then you're built wrong

The only problem with this is you have to go stand in the sunlight to charge it.

Around here, the mountains make FM coverage spotty. AM never fails.

AM receivers are cheap and reliable. I think they should continue to me mandated in cars as a last-ditch mass communications method. If there were some licenses available around here I'd grab one and build a station. Alas....

They really should use quantum-resistant algorithms alongside a traditional algorithm for now so that you have to crack both. Quantum algorithms are very new compared to our old favorites. One of the NIST finalists for quantum-resistant crypto was cracked using classical computing near the end of the standardization process, highlighting the danger of relying on these alone.

Wake me when I can factor 1024-bit RSA keys. The Nintendo DSi and I have unfinished business.

I'm a pessimist, so I'm guessing--with no evidence--that we will find out that keeping N qubits coherent requires energy exponential in N, meaning that quantum computers are mostly useless.
