Games@lemmy.world•Time to bring back physical media on PC?English
0·2 days agoWe have physical media on PCs, we even still have full control of them and can copy and modify anything we want.
Now you mean we should be buying some kind of disk which will actually offer us no more control and in fact was historically used for DRM.
Adding physical distribution overhead will definitely not help publishers (especially small ones or indie Devs) turn a profit.
Vinyl is horrible for consumers. CD was a format we eventually could use ourselves to copy and mix music to our preference.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google preps Pixel ‘Audio Memory’ that ambiently tracks your ‘important conversations,’ like AI notetaker pinsEnglish
0·11 days agoSure a dumb phone won’t record for Google. Current ones don’t and probably can’t be made to.
But recording would be trivial to implement even on a dumb phone if it becomes acceptable to the majority. Hell it could become a legal requirement.
We cannot run away from these issues by using old phones, old vehicles, ‘physical’ media etc. Eventually they will be unavailable. Some, old vehicles, really should be for other reasons.
Or as others have pointed out, you might not be recorded by your phone but you will be by the others’.
We need to persuade more people to actively oppose such measures outright. Defend privacy, control of our devices etc explicitly.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL cheese is fundamentally just fat, protein...English
111·14 days agoNo it’s not. You misrepresented the sources you provided by omitting their references to milk and dairy. Though still cashews and other nuts are not liquids, so stuff made from them does not meet your own definition.
I also doubt that nut based cheese alternatives are denser in proteins or fats than the nuts themselves. Not sure I would call them concentrated.
But the most significant difference is the presence of carbs. You can rely on cheese to not have significant quantities.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Microsoft's new Outlook takes more than 10 seconds to open an email, while Outlook Classic opens instantly on WindowsEnglish
0·19 days agoYeah if you think the guest support for the fs on the physical drive is relevant for a network share you wouldn’t be really useful.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•‘Have you ever been around someone you just know is evil?’ Melinda French Gates on meeting Jeffrey Epstein, giving away billions, and her post-divorce peaceEnglish
0·20 days agoWe don’t need proof. There is no indication he knew Epstein or that he even is part of the class that could visit the island.

Technology@lemmy.world•UK’s Starmer gives Apple, Google 3 months to stop children sending nude imagesEnglish
0·25 days agoObviously protecting children must always be a priority
No it really doesn’t have to always be. Protecting children should be balanced against harm to the rest of society. The vast majority of children will thankfully go on to live far more as non-children.
They had female B ports and you usually connected them to the PC with a male B to male A cable.
Thumbstics forego the cable for easo of carrying so they provide what the cable would, USB A male for the host.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•White House honors Harambe 10 years after his death, hailing him as a “true patriot"English
0·1 month agoNo. Harambe was killed because a child fell into his enclosure. That child was black. Racists cake out in droves practically arguing that the ape’s life was worth more than the child’s.
The tweet is acknowledgment of that. The ‘patriotic’ moniker only makes sense for someone who believes black people are the enemy.

Technology@lemmy.world•A security researcher says Microsoft secretly built a backdoor into BitLocker, releases an exploit to prove itEnglish
0·2 months agoIf you actually read his github you would know that there is a different version of the responsible component between the recovery environment and an installation. Only the RE has the issue.
I’ve read the XZ vulnerability. The very same thing can happen in a closed source corporate project. There are many arrests of foreign intelligence agents that worked in big tech amd/government. It would of course be easier to cover up. As would vulnerabilities discovered by ai, since they can limit who can check their code.

Technology@lemmy.world•A security researcher says Microsoft secretly built a backdoor into BitLocker, releases an exploit to prove itEnglish
0·2 months agoWere they the developers of the ssh package? Microsoft is the developer of the vulnerable bitlocker package and the ones who chose to ship it.
I am employed, most employers are obviously not as corrupt as the biggest corporations on the planet, they simply can’t afford to.
I agree we can’t know. We can know for FOSS software. You are treating uknownable as being less than the known bugs in Foss software. That’s dishonest, lad.

Technology@lemmy.world•A security researcher says Microsoft secretly built a backdoor into BitLocker, releases an exploit to prove itEnglish
0·2 months agoWhat are the indications that the BitLocker vulnerability is already being utilized?
Microsoft shipping a vulnerable version of the recovery environment. It is the ‘exploit’.
Alleged by a guy who was fired from Microsoft. I’d take that with a pinch of salt.
Such is the nature of closed source software. You select people who will remain complicit till they have a grievance against you. Even if they don’t and talked for moral reasons do you think they would not been fired for it?
That being said, open source repos are being attacked constantly with attempts at intentional malicious code injection - I’m sure you’ve heard of XZ Utils? How many others went through and are being exploited without anyone noticing?
Who knows. How many more went through at closed source software a limited amount of people can test in the same way?

Technology@lemmy.world•A security researcher says Microsoft secretly built a backdoor into BitLocker, releases an exploit to prove itEnglish
0·2 months agoThey will be patched. There is also no indication that they 'be been known and exploited till recently.
This was allegedly deliberately non patched to be exploited.
Getting a system without bugs and security issues is impossible, you can at least avoid intentional compromise.

Yes, god isn’t real.
Religious people still oppose trans people existing because of religion, not because the operations are not efficient or not safe.
