They did the same by banning strong encryption. Never underestimate the stupidity of politicians

Semantics. The result is the same. The cause: no repercussions for missing the system that is in place is a bigger fallacy imho

It's basically converted sand. Most of that conversion happens in Taiwan at the moment. Which is considered, by China, to be one of their provinces and as a protectorate by the usa. Hence the interest in that region....

On infosec we call that airgapped. Pretty secure compared to what is normally done. Nothing caveman about it.

I read (but cannot find this anymore) that the information sent from layer to layer is minimal. The actual matrix work happens within a layer. They are not doing matrix multiplication over the netwerk (that would be insane latency wise).

Those can also be explained by favouring usa/venezuela oil while still supporting Russian politics. For example: in the Ukraine war he is constantly seeking ways and arguments to support putins position even though he is one of the few leaders worldwide who do this.

When using Lombok it will use a compiler plugin for this so maven builds have @nonnull generated as if-statements. I dont know if intellij uses their own plugin but they do support Lombok in maven projects, so maybe thats where this is coming from. Afaik intellij has no built in compiler but relies on java .

Debian user here: no nvidia here, but the printer (networked), wifi and scanner just work. As does my bluetooth mouse,

It's a stupid situation that banks and payment processors force their ethics upon while other companies take the blame (valve in this case). They should just dommoney transfers and as long as the transfer itself is legal should not have any opinion on the parties or product involved in the transaction.

Not divulging information with third parties seems a common theme, even when said business practices are questionable.

On US based sites mostly in my experience: privacy and user consent are pretty low on the priority list it seems.

What i know from the past is for realtime guarantees ethernet does not cut it. So you might be right.

Use an odroid h4: 2x2.5gbe and a 4*1 m.2 bifurcation card to get 4 nvme drives there. Performance is limited due to ethernet anyway.

Bmi is one metric but you need to combine it with a measurement of your belly circumference. I had similar numbers but the weight was al in the belly and got diagnoses as type 2 diabetic with high cholesterol etc.

It barely works on non MS platforms,has had many slightly incompatible versions so it's a non starter for many projects where I run into that might benefit from c#. I spoke to a manager recently who had invested in silverlight in the past. Based on that alone it was a no MS policy for his development teams.

My windows laptop disconnects my monitor sometimes seemingly randomly. A sign that windows is not ready for non-technical users?
