Ah yep that makes sense though I'm following now

Oh okay, I see.. Or rather, I see I don't understand lol

Wait so, if your kettle fails, your fridge loses power for example?

For me I want to know how much frame latency there is since I'm suspicious and I want to try things to see the effect and I just don't know how to get that information in an OSD like I can with msi afterburner.

If someone knows what can do this in Linux, please reply!

Instead I just stopped all competitive and cooperative gaming. Which is a bit of a shame. Sometimes I'll load up windows to join friends but usually by the time I've updated whatever game I've gotten over it.

Don't get me wrong, hiccups aside I'm very happy which is why I'm in Linux most of the time. But it's not always a wonderful world.

That would surely only power a single circuit (due to isolation) and if you have to be selective, a critical circuit like your fridge isn't really likely to have a wall port on the same circuit near where you'd happily have your fume emitting generator..

I'm no electrician but I've generally installed automatic transfer switches (ATS) for mine site server cabinets that then power UPS racks and the transfer switch automatically or manually can switch from mains to generator if mains power goes out (which at a mine is all the time). I feel like a similar and safe system must exist for homes. Or something no different to switching solar to grid and back.

But again, not an electrician.

At this point we want antivirus and anticheat out of windows kernel. Microsoft killing access to it will genuinely fix Linux compatibility issues.

It couldn't be more win-win.

Microsoft is trying to test that approach. The company tested restricting kernel access to third party security vendors in the past, with Vista OS in 2006, but had to backtrack the move.

Symantec and McAfee then claimed Microsoft’s decision to shut off access to the kernel amounts to “anti-competitive behavior.”

Without kernel access, this software may struggle to perform in-depth behavioral analyses of processes and applications, to meet its objectives, said Varkey. “Blocking this access can limit the software’s ability to detect and prevent sophisticated attacks.”

They can't be trusted, kick out everyone's access to the kernel. Everyone must use API and that can be interpreted.

This will be able to do cross site (apps) information collection within other sites (apps) in this profile. The way this works is one of many, and complicated so: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/cross-site-tracking-lets-unpack-that/

The idea of profiles is to stop this behaviour and other behaviours through isolation. Along with other practices makes up a privacy-in-depth (layered) approach. It doesn't solve everything.

For example if you are in the same house sharing an internet connection, it is possible to say "at least one outstation in this house (IP) are interested in 'x' and therefore I should target everyone in that house because people who live together are interested in similar things". Even if you isolate, you could still teach a data hoarding company like meta you like something simply by them by necessity needing your IP to communicate.

Some people try to say 'I've got a VPS with a VPN to communicate all traffic through' but that doesn't add any privacy, your exposed VPS with its IP is an IP only for you and still all collected information about you would be able to be thumbprinted to that IP across many services (eg instagram whatsapp and Facebook). A public VPN provider in this case adds a layer of obfuscation since you can change your IP rapidly and it's an IP that's shared with other unrelated users. Which is exactly why many services like reddit are banning access from them under the guise of "oh training data leaks from VPN, and we want to sell it" bs.

Anyway it's a tough world out there to be private. I'm at an age where after 10 years without Facebook and I never had instagram, everyone knows I'm contactable via sms. It's not secure, it's barely private, but I don't really "chat" except at the pub. So that's where they ask me to visit. Lol.

So one logical reason they even bother calling placements is because if both yuki and Max took replacements and upgrades that both would drop them to the back, who would really be at the back?

On a different point, a bad PU maker can't even be replaced until 2026. They're locked into their makers by the FIA until then. So they can't really change off redbull to say Ferrari until after next season.

Imo let him start from the back, no big deal. We'll get a good comparison of how well yuki in the vcarb can get through the field, if at all, compared to perez who will probably put himself out in q1 and attempt yet another recovery drive.

Fun for all

Giving you an up vote instead of myself leaving a snarky comment.

I keep asking the pets for their owners secrets but they don't tell me? I've tried pats, compliments and treats? Am I doing it wrong? How are you getting them to tell you about their owners?

I checked too, it's not a valid public DNS record, so then the question is, does Oktas internal DNS resolve this. Even if it does, how does okta even sit in this? Are they the identity provider for Twitter? Surely even if it's identity, it's got nothing to do with content moderation? So many questions.

You know it's stuff like this that forces me to rewrite dns on the firewall, but that's probably not even possible if they use DNS over TLS.
