This would only happen if you tried to delid the quantum CPU. So, not only is it bricked, but you also voided the warranty!

Can't trust curses these days. If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself.

Yes, I don't agree with the no way to mitigate statement.

I suspect on windows the only real defence is something like.

  • Check if the network has suspicious multiple routes setup from the DHCP
  • If so, either use the IP/Mask/Gateway with manual IP config (to not receive the CIDR routes) or steer clear of an at best questionable network entirely.
  • Maybe use the windows firewall to block all traffic outbound EXCEPT from the firewall program (with perhaps exceptions for local networks as per below linux example). For whatever reason the windows firewall doesn't seem to have a way to specify an interface. But you can specify a program.

I did look for some way to control Window's handling of DHCP options. But it seems there isn't anything obvious to limit this otherwise. I do not know if the windows firewall has this kind of fine-grained control with its own fire

For linux, I used to have my own blackout firewall rules. That only allowed the specific LAN range (for mobile use you could include all RFC1918 ranges) and the specific VPN IP out of the internet facing interface. Only the VPN interface could otherwise access the internet.

If no-one pirated any Sony game do you think they would.

A) Lower the price of the game to maintain their existing profit margin.
B) Set a lower price that increases their margin.
C) Keep the higher price and just make a fuck ton more money.

I would agree. It's useful to know all the parts of a GNU/Linux system fit together. But the maintenance can be quite heavy in terms of security updates. So I'd advise to do it as a project, but not to actually make real use of unless you want to dedicate time going forwards to it.

For a compiled useful experience gentoo handles updates and doing all the work for you.

Pretty sure I read this book a few years ago. It was called Jennifer government.

Release the hounds. I mean lawyers.

I want to see the first DMCA takedown for a comment "pirating" another user's comment.

I don't know. I'm suspecting the question was asked in some very weird way. I refuse to believe this is true. Maybe I'm out of touch, not being from America. But this just seems so unlikely to me.

Even people that like the guy, must have heard his opinion on women many times before now.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 11 points 1 year ago

Wait wait. Do you seriously believe most men actually think Trump respects women? Do you honestly really believe that? Because that is precisely what this thread is all about.

Make one :P

Then I suspect you'll find the answer is money. The ones for women simply just make more money.

This is, I think his train of thought. He thinks Twitter is a utility that people need. Meanwhile, many of us never had an account and moves like this will just move people away. Before twitter there was other social media, and before social media we also got on fine.

There are literal alternatives to this service, I cannot believe people are still using it now. But surely this kills it?
