There were two lines of enigma machines. IIRC the naval ones were much more difficult to crack, which is what Turing was instrumental in solving.

Wind has the same problem, because the actual generator is not spinning at line frequency. It has a rectifier plus inverter.

From what I've seen it's mostly related to just losing weight in general (less weight -> less musculoskeletal stress -> weaker bones and muscles). Weightlifting can counteract it.

My hot take is that wealth inequality is the least bad problem we could have, if it is even a problem at all.
What people are actually experiencing is not wealth inequality, but cost disease. Vital things (housing, healthcare, education) are more expensive - and that's mostly the fault of state action.

History shows that the "fundamental change to power relations" is just a shift from moneyed interests to political/bureaucratic interests. Which is worse because while moneyed interests have power money can buy, political/bureaucratic interests have the power of state coercion.
"They will go as far as to kill people for this" is rich coming from someone preaching Marxism, for which millions have been murdered.

on Friday December 19, 2025 @01:30AM (#46322842)
I'm not more "in the know" but it makes sense that new drivers could require it. New drivers, after all, are pretty much always written for newer platforms that Rust has support for. The main issue with enabling Rust (let alone requiring it) is that Linux still supports platforms which Rust does not.
