ok, full Office Outlook certainly had/has a ton warts but lets get real about it being 'good'.

Rewind to 1997. There were some other really capable mail clients out there that really could manage very large 10k+ message mailboxes offline (key word for the time), the space got pretty rarefied as you started looking at elegant support for things like shared mailboxes or 'public folders' and of course mail integrated calendaring..

Of the few options that remained suitable for large corporate mail deployments Exchange 5/Outlook was certainly as good or better than much of what was left.

Of course Notes/Domino was massively supperior in terms of capability and security, but by 2000 Microsoft go so very much better at mail/calendar and UX that all the rest of that capability and reliability still could not cut it. That and Notes cost to damn much..

100% this -anyone allowing the device to start up without a pin/password was box-checking their way thru some FDE compliance mandate not taking device encryption seriously as a security control

Western governments have been ensuring that general public does not have access to encryption since clipper chip and likely before. Once computers got powerful enough and electronic communication got cheap enough they got worried and have been working to sabotage any true E2E ever since.

Which is why taking advice from government agency, let alone allowing them to set enforceable standards should be opposed, and to the degree advice from NIST/CISA/FBI/NSA etc should be followed it needs to be run thru the common sense test and smell tests, and independently evaluated BEFORE implementation. In most cases it is good advice. As long as the threat model isn't - keep your data away from a 5 eyes agency.

Realistically nobody controls the software stack, it does not matter how good your crypto is if you are auto updating and installing code that can send the data home after its already decrypted even if the keys do remain a secret in some secure enclave.

Realistically for most users the best place to keep the real keys to your personal the kingdom and your most private conversations, is probably a second mobile device from a reputable vendor that mostly remains at home and use something like iMessage or Signal. Reboot the device often only install the handful of applications you need, don't use it for browsing. That really should keep your stuff beyond the reach of most threat actors. Will dear old uncle Sam still be able to get into if the situation becomes serious enough they are willing to expose methods and practices, perhaps after some public theater where they pretend to need Apple/Samsung/Alphabet's help and/or that they have to really coerce that cooperation, certainly. However we probably really are into if you have not done anything wrong you have nothing to hide territory there...like if you murder 10s of innocent people in a night club or something f-u I hope society does rifle thru your stuff.

sure, these are choices that stem out of another choice, namely out of the choice to have private ownership and operation of property. If the factory is private property, then it is operating in an environment that promotes and defends private property rights. This means nobody us forced to work there also, not just that nobody is owed a job there. In this environment competition is inevitable and it is competition for the purchasing power of individual buyers. So the demand and purchasing conditions are at least partially dictated by the totality of individual choices of all market participants. This is a policy choice, this is the choice I personally prefer as well.

I guess the real question is whether people are more or less likely to show up in court on cashless bail, since that is a major purpose of bail in the first place (if you don't show up in court, you lose the money).

That's OK but the only reason many people buy American cars and trucks is to support American jobs.

When it's all robots might as well get a Tundra rather than a 1500. Or maybe BYD will come in with something soon.

We'll see how that goes.

Oh yeah, that's also a really good possibility.

And yet you're still here. Thanks.

Says the guy who's never read the source code. What a dumpster fire.

Not you, the systemd source code.

The guys who built those giant ovens could have told themselves that somebody was going to be baking a whole lot of bread ... very inefficiency.

Somebody wired up all those ICBM missile silos too. The ones who do think all of the above is just fine. There will always be someone.

Randal's argument was never legitimate. It supposed those trades people were free agents who could turn down the job without getting force choked.

Skipping the paywalled article I found these specs and was underwhelmed.

Sure it looks fine for playing mid games but my guess was something unique, unified RAM or a clever bus or something. It seems like a decently tuned Ryzen build. I do like the lower TDP on the CPU which should be doing less work.

A nice form factor for those who don't build their own.

Hopefully this is their entre into the PC world and v2 will have more innovations.

What's most cool is the generation of teenagers who will have default Arch/KDE instead of default Windows.

The most virulent racist on this forum is you!

Every other comment of yours is some form of bigotry toward white people or older people. The relative handful of posts that are not that are some kind of christophobism.

You are really sad, small, terrible person. I only even both commenting because I worry someone might otherwise come to this forum unfamiliar with unhinged anti-social, nature and think it represents any significant portion of broader thinking here. I like Slashdot, and I hate watching you destroy it.

No that is too strong a claim. The best you can say is, "There are people we don't know how to rehabilitate."

Our understanding of the brain and psychology is so weak that over the next century or so, our knowledge is going to increase dramatically. Not long ago, people were seriously doing lobotomies (there's an argument to be made that we are still doing it today, but with chemicals. Certainly our understanding and treatment of ADHD will improve dramatically in the future, and what we do now will seem archaic if not barbaric).

Oh this should be good. Do tell where and how is Trump going to get the votes in Congress for such an appropriation even if that is his plan. How would the treasury/DOD/IC etc move such a large amount of money without an accounting that would get even Trump impeached if he does not go to congress for it.

The problem is 37% that thinks it is going to be tax dollars going to Iran - by the way this "deal" isnt going last a month if by some change it does actually get inked anyway - the problem is 37% that has such bad TDS they believe he could gift Iran $300B from the treasury even if he was really deperate to do so. Trump is in fact not King, the GOP is not nearly united enough whip the votes for something like that.

Ideally the recidivism rate should be zero. It's not easy, though.
