In the list of apps he was using I don't see any mention of a VPN. How much you want to bet he raw dogged it with encrypted apps over the clearnet so it was trivial to leak his real IP address

Ian Cutress shared on his YouTube channel that the owners saw it as redundant to Toms Hardware even though Anandtech was far more focused on architecture. He went into some detail about how Anandtech was pushed to become more generalist and consumer oriented, so basically it was redundancy that they themselves created

But Ford in their infinite wisdom ended production of all sedans. They do not make a single sedan right now

I've been slowly reading through rimworld and honestly I love how Pratchett balanced out the existence of magic by making it such a pointless persuit that wizards are basically just beurocrats

However, that’s not the only way to use Secure Boot; I enroll my own certificates in addition to Microsoft’s, allowing code that I sign to be booted into. This requires some UEFI setup once.

Do you by chance have a guide or documentation you followed to do this that you could link?

Did she ever finish her manuscript?

When I was working my way out of retail jobs I took a job at a callcenter making a pittance. It beat retail and came with actual responsibilities and expectations which I liked. A few months in some management type shared a random feelgood blogpost by someone who stated they've been working in a callcenter for 6 years. I remember commenting at the time "yikes why would you keep working in a callcenter for that long?" (I think at the time I hadn't even been an adult for 6 years)

3.5 years later I put in my notice from that job and started rocketing my career upward. I spent my last year working part time while I worked on an IT degree, and had become very relied upon at the callcenter. My old boss from there actually keeps asking me to let her get me a job on their IT team, but I know that I can get better pay and benefits elsewhere. But most importantly, I kept my initial horror at the idea of working in a callcenter for 6 years in the back of my mind and made sure to get out long before reaching that point myself.

In my current job I encounter people in similar positions. They're underqualified and living in small towns with limited employment options so they put up with pretty nasty working conditions in (for example) meat packing plants in order to take home the best pay and benefits they can. I heard one of the field employees I support mention that they haven't been home for over 6 months, and they said this to me whilst I was sitting in my cushy office job working from my own home while my toddler slept in the next room not 8 feet away.

Wasn't it because a couple of anti-porn politicians were outed as having renting porn tapes (yet another thing that doesn't really exist anymore)

These are problems that require legislative action to fix, which is why he is encouraging the nerds and hackers who will be most affected by tech policy and understand the tech the most to start meeting with their legislators to discuss tech policy as it comes up for votes

anyone who’s focused on privacy would tell you the same but in way fewer words.

Corey Doctorow literally wrote the books on privacy. He coined the term Enshitification. He's even been portrayed as a guest character in a couple of XKCD comics. Generally he's someone to listen to on anything security, privacy or tech policy related

The last time Congress managed to pass a federal consumer privacy law was in 1988: The Video Privacy Protection Act. That’s a law that bans video-store clerks from telling newspapers what VHS cassettes you take home. In other words, it regulates three things that have effectively ceased to exist.

Corey Doctorow always hits so hard

I’ll never use that shit OS.

Good luck come October of next year when Windows 10 goes EOL

Personally I'm just treating Windows 11 as a 2025 kind of problem...
