Why not count people waiting on each floor? To add to the algo? A simple camera with basic computer vision will do.

For this you dont need TPM. Just a LUKS key in rootfs /etc. He said TPM :)

> combined with LUKS, TPM keys

Does it work? Server can reboot and use TPM to unlock rootfs? What about /boot - encrypted and tamper proof? Resists evil maid attack?

Rabbit hole, I know, but so fascinating if you solved it all :)

It all started when they took a stand against DoD on autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance usage. Feb 2026.

After that details don't matter, they've shown their "enemy" colours, once is enough. This is just punishment and it will continue, until they bend the knee.

iTunes Match still exists, one of the handful of subs I pay for.

Lame. I got 12, just by using iOS iCloud Private Relay and Wipr.

But they do call the election results, in live broadcast. Authoritative election result. This is the target of this acquisition. CBS is done already.

> Why do people say crap like this...

1. Third-party cookie blocking by default — 2003 (Safari 1.0); industry first.

2. Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), using on-device machine learning to identify and limit cross-site trackers — 2017; industry first.

3. Storage Access API prompts for embedded third-party content (e.g., social login widgets) — 2018 (ITP 2.0); industry first (co-developed by WebKit, later adopted as a web standard).

4. Full third-party cookie blocking (no exceptions) — 2020 (ITP in Safari 13.1); industry first for a major browser.

Nope, FF is being infiltrated by adtech for last year or two. Last holdout is Safari now :)

Mods, plz change title to Guy Who Made Dust 2.
Helps if there are support case numbers with attempted diags, maybe.
Ahh, true, I now have 120Hz top, but it's fine, why I said fixed :) I now recall in Catalina I had full 144Hz and VRR options! Monitor is Dell G3223Q via Caldigit TS4 DP.
Send it to Tim Cook email. It worked for me fixing DisplayPort DSC bug. After Catalina, later MacOSes lost ability to drive monitors at higher than 60Hz refresh.

Apple support tortured me with all kinds of diagnostics, with WontFix few weeks later. Wrote email and it got fixed in Sonoma :)

One used Lenovo micro PC (size of a book) from eBay will serve you well.

Peak hours (normal usage): 8 AM – 2 PM ET → 12 AM (midnight) – 6 AM AEDT (next day)

Off-peak hours (2x usage): All other times → 6 AM – 11:59 PM AEDT

Just do a fresh OS install erasing full disk first. Then be careful what apps you add. Done.
Hmm, Full Disk Access perm is not enough?
Is there disable auto-update setting in GUI? Last time i looked there was none and i had to create some settings.json file for that.

Apple should build Google search.

Google should build Windows.

Microsoft should just die.

Yet he did not bother to walk in nearest Apple store to fix the issue. Why?

Btw, this won't work with Androids, no physical Google stores :)

Re:Compare Single Board Computers on Sunday October 19, 2025 @08:39PM (#45639244)
After that, have a look at pcpartpicker.com, motherboards section. They have feature selectors, like number of usb ports, power connector type and so on. Very useful to find boards.
If evil maid attack, and you see this prompt, you a) re-enable secure boot, if did not work b) throw away the device.

In any case data stays secure.

Edit: Hmm, you have a point, how do I know secure boot was disabled in the first place? Anyway, still works for servers and unattended reboots.

You get a prompt to enter Bitlocker recovery key if you turn off Secure boot in BIOS.
