Wrong, it's a slight of hand. This is not about individual cameras, this is about the network that uses all cameras together to follow you no matter what you do, no matter where you go, people shouldn't have a government that follows their every step by using AI and networked devices. If this was about individual cameras you would have a point, it is not, it is unreasonable to allow a government to exist that creates a panopticon of this scale, citizens shouldn't feel like they are inside a prison and the warden is watching.

It all depends. How much "weaker"? If the weaker version is... half as difficult to break, but you found a way that speeds up your attacks by 200%.. Then you do have a real problem..

And sometimes we have those weaker encryption routines forced upon us. Do you remember the encryption hoopla of the late 1990's and early 2000's?

I do.. I remember when some websites had 128-bit encryption and some had 64 bits.. There was a whole distributed computing system that attacked a 56-bit version of DES? and busted it in.. I don't remember the amount of time it was.. But a few years later, a single computer did what took tens of thousands of machines working in tandem.

That's the question.. how much weaker? The algorithm stays the same, it's the key space that changes.. So. this MIGHT be a problem in a few more years. Better get ready to upgrade.

You retards think you know so much when you know so very little.

The ONLY thing the Constitution says about Religion is that the government can't establish a state religion nor can it prohibit you from practicing yours. It doesn't say a goddamn thing about keeping all religion out of everywhere.

I'm an atheist, but I know my fucking history. This is absolutely a CHRISTIAN NATION. There's a reason why only 3 Presidents have taken the oath of office sans-Bible and two of them simply didn't have one available at the time (assumption of office after the assassination of their predecessor).

I've seen what happens when atheists take power in a country. Anyone care to relate what the usual outcome is?

I'd rather live in a Christian nation than one run by my fellow Atheists. We don't have a great track record..

MAGA is the epitome of "identity politics",

That's a good one.. Especially coming from you cunts who literally break everyone up in to categories of how they IDENTIFY.

Serious, you fucktard lefties have lost your goddamn minds. We're the epitome of "identity politics"?

The saddest part is you fucks are too stupid to see your own goddamn hypocrisy.. or you don't care.

The difference was almost entirely to FORCIBLY OBSOLETE a ton of perfectly serviceable machines merely because they came with TPM 1.2 or less from the manufacturer, or they had a CPU "not quite new enough," because OEMs were screaming "we need to force people to trash computers and spend money buying new hardware from us."

OEMs started salivating at Apple's "3 year old hardware? Fuck you, throw it in the trash and buy something new" sales model and demanded MS start doing the same thing.

If someone like MachineShedFred is getting a forced reboot in the middle of the day, it's because he's the Dumb Fucking Retard who's been pushing "delay" on the machine over and over and "sleeping" the machine during the mandatory reboot times rather than save his work and pick a sensible moment, and now he's run past the mandatory delay allowance. He's known this reboot was coming, he just chose to IGNORE it and be a whiny little bitch about it.

Most IT departments have no idea how to set up automatic updating properly so that it still gets the job done, but doesn't piss off the users that you can't really piss off...

Most Dumb Fucking Retard Users like MachineShedFred imagine that they are above the requirements that IT have been ordered to apply to everyone, or that they've found some magical "workaround" to the system. I have no sympathy for his bullshittery.
