I don’t think ice completed any of the games since BL2. TPS and BL3 just don’t have the charm of the second one. Probably won’t even care about this one until it’s on sale for $10

Ooooooh, I’ve always wanted a monorail!

They’re probably assuming the chats aren’t encrypted because telegram doesn’t encrypt those. Source

Multi-device End-to-end encrypted chats are a mess

The concept of End-to-End Encryption has no limits for the number of communicating devices. However, if you want to access your end-to-end encrypted chats from multiple devices, you’re facing many technical difficulties, especially when it comes to connecting new devices, loading chat history and restoring backups.

Most of our competitors (notably, Whatsapp and iMessage) solve these problems in ways that make their end-to-end encryption useless (this is a big topic, so requires a separate manual [poster note, that link goes to a ‘manual’ that hasn’t been filled out lol]). To solve them in a secure way, you’d have to sacrifice usability and some of the features you’re used to – the result would never be as fluent and simple as what we offer in Cloud Chats.

Telegram says they don’t encrypt them and tries to imply that people who actually know how to use cryptography failed to solve this problem because they couldn’t solve it with their shitty self rolled ‘encryption’ algo that hasn’t been peer reviewed (unlike the signal protocol)

This paper released last summer makes the argument that quantum computing is in a similar state, and that any of the claimed numbers that were factored by quantum computing above 21 have basically been bullshit. I was listening to Security Now episode 1034 recently and they discussed the paper in reasonably understandable terms, but basically it boils down to factoring big numbers by picking numbers that are disallowed by modern algorithms because they’re binary weak primes.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait…

Are you trying to tell me that the activists who said for decades that legalizing would reduce youth use because it would be regulating the product and making it harder for the black market to thrive were right this whole time???

Color me fucking shocked. Next you’re going to tell me that it was really just criminalized because of racism and the right wanting another way to attack and imprison their opponents and minorities.

Whelp, looks like I’m spending my PTO week installing a new OS in my pixel and trying to make bank/payment shit work.

Right, but none of that is enshitification or contradicts that 7 was an improvement over vista in most every way. As you stated, there were numerous kernel improvements going to 7, as well as improvements on locking logic, memory access and (let’s not ignore the most obvious) driver support. The two operating systems were very similar, but saying there are no major differences other than aesthetic is not accurate. There were less major differences than xp > vista or 7 > 8, but it was a bit more than just aesthetics.

Also, fuck Server 2016. All my homies hate Server 2016…

Heh, I’m a windows sysadmin, so I use them often enough to know it from memory. I’m almost entirely Linux at home these days as well

Ncpa.cpl > right click > properties and go from there is my main method.

Otherwise, Win+X > G (devmgmt.msc) and look at the network adapter in device manager

Other than the win+x chord, that works on just about every version I have to touch

Vista to 7

enshitification

Lol, lmao even

7 was better than vista in just about every way.

I hate how the settings app is taking over control panel entries to make them worse and show me the original control panel window after going down 3 levels because the stupid fucks can’t design UI for shit.

Thankfully, you can still get to a lot of them if you know the name of the control panel applet.

Yeah… The Iran war is why the bubble will pop… Damned Iran destabilizing the very healthy AI market!!1!

When you don’t have a real response, responding as if you’re a moron doesn’t help your point.

I’m assuming they have, but it was just links to the Microsoft help articles. And as we all know, every single one of those is a 404.

The number of times that MicroSlop’s own AI has given me links to MicroSlop’s documentation that no longer exist is almost as high as the number of times I’ve had that happen on the MicroSlop help forums. Only, this time it doesn’t have an ironic warning near other links talking about how non-MicroSlop links are unreliable and may disappear at any time.

You cannot reliably get the URL from an IP, there’s no direct mapping, especially with shared hosting.

So if they were going to do an attack like this, they wouldn’t do anything like the DH attack you’re talking about, they’d have a custom CA in the browser’s SSL root store. That root cert means they can generate a certificate for any website you visit, and that custom root cert would be how they decrypt your traffic.

Afaik there isn’t a current attack on proper DH key pairings, but you can’t block the custom certificate path at the browser level without some serious server side work/client side JS to validate

Make a crypto wallet add on. Make a VPN with crypto payment channel settled once a week.

Go use brave if you want to use a crypto trash browser

Yeah, but then you give them something to complain about afterwards. Pissing them off by being kind is sooooo much more rewarding. You haven’t experienced pettiness until you’ve gotten a customer to a boiling rage by being nothing but saccharine and professional to a pissed off customer looking for a fight.

I used to work retail cell phone sales for a now defunct reseller, and we’d frequently get people in who got pissed off when they found out we couldn’t do a lot of carrier functions, and boy was it fun winding people up by being kind, courteous and professional.

I wasn’t as bad as the South Park ISP dudes, but same vibe lol
