Apparently it’s literally in the standardised tests… that’s what’s causing the problems! 😉

It would almost be funny if not for the whole “fate of American democracy” thing.

Sure, the Democrats are Doctor Evil and his minions. But the Republicans are literally Hitler and the nazis.

Vote accordingly.

Because they think they’re helping stand on other people’s necks, and that’s just fine in their book.

Then they act all surprised with the “I never thought the leopards would eat my face!” when it happens.

The last time I tried to install Windows 11 on a VM (Nutanix AHV), I had to fiddle with a virtual TPM and lost the live migration feature as a result.

Dos this mean I can install the LTSC version, not need the TPM and have a working, live migrate-able machine?

Something to test next week…

It’s like… I want to disagree with you, but you’re making me think.

Why are we ok with having required services that are only provided by third party companies?

They’re not specific - No government says you must have a Facebook or Twitter account. But you’re right - you have to have a bank account and you’ll not get far in 2024 without email.

What about a step further? If you want a phone number, you need a landline or mobile. Both of those are only provided by private companies too…

While I don’t disagree with you in principle, I do find it a bit funny that you’ve picked one of the easiest services to change between as your hill.

There’s no reason you _ have_ to use Gmail, or Hotmail. There are a billion email providers and if you have enough technical knowledge, you can even run your own (I really don’t recommend this though, it’s harder then it seems to do it safely and securely).

If you pick a provider outside the US, your government can’t do dick about getting it shut down, and if you pick one in a particularly privacy-conscious country, you can have everything encrypted to the point where the provider themselves can’t read your messages.

Also, I assume this is similar in the States, but I’ve seen government IT projects in the UK and some of them are truly awful. I wouldn’t necessarily trust them to look after important emails for me. Plus a single source of email would be an awfully tempting target for hacker groups around the world.

Yes, a label is just a more versatile folder. If you don’t like that, you can just use a single label per email, but I genuinely can’t see any value in that. But you can if you want.

If the government can get your current email or bank account shut down, why do you think they couldn’t/wouldn’t do that on a government-provided one?

I read it as saying the current PlayStation exclusive content (apparently you get to buy a shop and there’s a whole Thing when you go in there) will be made available for everyone else.

So that’s nice. Those of us that don’t have a PlayStation can now experience everything we’ve already paid for.

Met Liz Truss.

Immediately dies.

Says it all really.

Unless there was something at launch that’s gone now, I can’t think of any. One totally optional cosmetic DLC and a couple of pre-order bonuses that don’t affect the story at all, but when I played it last month, I didn’t feel there was anything missing.
