The passport is more than sufficient as an actual ID. It is sufficient for ID in all situations. The Driver's License verifies the right to drive, and the ID at the state level. It's the driver's license which is insufficient as an ID, not the passport. The passport always verifies identity.

Welcome to capitalism.

That team is probably shitting their pants over this exact kind of thing.

Everyone is a coder is striking the same fears that BYOD used to but now it's even scarier...because it's new and there a known unknowns etc.

I'm sure that after a few large breaches and data deletions they'll figure out a way to make this sort of "Oh look I can create my own enterprise app" exercises safe in the future...

Meanwhile, wanna come see this new baking app I chat prompted AI to make for the finance team?!

The USA has national ID, it's called a passport. (Real ID was supposed to be a national ID, but it's been watered down so that it effectively isn't one.) The passport or passport card is the gold standard of ID because it verifies both nationality and citizenship.

The USA also has national online ID verification, it's called ID.me. It's shit, but it exists.

Google pulls out of China rather than help China crack down on dissidents and then... they do this kind of shit.

All they showed is that the only kind of fascist regime they want to cooperate with is home grown and white supremacist.

That and the price per op, which was alone enough to make it a flop.

Redhat will be subject to this requirement because their license places additional restrictions on the GPL and they are therefore in violation and have no right to use the code covered by that license

Girl scout cookies are made with child slave labor palm oil and chocolate. Nothing makes more sense than that they get funding from the baby killing industry.

Obviously unless your a whale like Kerry Packer who is bigger than the casino and knows how to tip - however I digress.

I know there is charitable gaming however I've never understood, beyond organized crime, why all casinos profits aren't regulated into charitable causes and institutions to put people's desire for a non-lethal adrenaline rush to some good use.

Most modern servers have more than one core.

Not that hard to treat each core as a separate machine, all using another core as something like an internal router to access memory, graphic cards, keyboards, etc.

The hardware changes would be minimal. Basically take 4 motherboards, put it one metal box and put most of the real memory, etc. on the 'host' motherboard that allocates between the other 3.

There would be real speed penalties to doing this, but totally possible just using hardware. Duplicating it with software instead of hardware does not sound all that innovative to me.

It is more of a question do you really need to do it with software? If you want this kind of setup, do it with hardware. What advantages do you get by doing it with software - besides the real risk of someone targeting the host that determines resource allocation. I would bet actual hardware separation would be 'safer' than whatever software separation you created.

Or a backup for that matter.

I would depend on my own hands and not someone else's camera to secure the laptop away from the show floor

Usually you're slamming the hood though.

yeah, the Iroquois held most of the land of present day New York State and inhabitable parts of Ontario and Quebec provinces.

It means "Great Lake" in their language - the one their nation surrounded.

However, let's not be trolled by Trump and Google who are both fighting a losing war for foreign interests and want us distracted from $7 diesel.

I just went shopping and the $30 can of shellac primer I usually get is $95 now. Imported ingredients.

It's probably just encrypted, that provides the security-focused part of write protection, at least while it's not been unlocked for boot.

Computers used to have stuff in ROM, stuff used to be a lot smaller, you used to be able to burn your own ROMs and put them on your own boards and have it be meaningful. But none of that is true today of course any more than that you could put a useful amount of storage on a floppy.

Read/write protection on flash is mostly done in firmware and therefore could theoretically be bypassed, I wonder if there were floppy drives before LS120 where that was also true.

It seems like a better solution would be to virtualize the Windows installation in the first place, and then you can do whatever you want with it later if it's compromised. While IT is checking it over to determine whether it's time to revert it to a snapshot or actually try to gather data from it, you can be using an alternate system of whatever kind. The user ought to ideally be basically unaware that anything has happened (why would you boot into Linux when a user is used to Windows?) except that they don't have access to some files.
