Fair enough. I was speaking towards the perspective of op. We were encouraged, not required, so there were definitely some folks who would do that.

That sounds like poor IT policies to me. In previous office jobs I’ve had, our computers were configured with our working hours and we wouldn’t shut them down at the end of the day, so that any updates could happen off the clock and minimize that sort of disruption.
No, Ted Cruz’s pecker started pouring out beans… 😭
This is why we need a corporate death penalty.
There’s also WSL though your mileage may vary.
Probably for the best that they cut themselves off from the Internet.
We’re going to need a lot of them, they’re only worth $10
There are already plenty of companies that sell managed data removal like this, Mozilla claims to be doing it better and perhaps they are incrementally more trustworthy than the smaller no name ones
What are you talking about? There are endless services where you can get a free email address without spending a cent. Verifying that an email is genuine is a much harder ask than you might think.
Electric Collage would be a great band name.
Silicon and silicone are two very different things, just FYI. But that does make sense
It’s still bonded to silicon carbide…
Don’t get me wrong, it’s an important advancement in semiconductor technology if the claims they’re making hold up. But it’s grown on silicon wafers. “Post-silicon chips” feels somewhat misleading here
Yes, enforced pseudonymity would work much better. You can have up to three, or some number, of identities, they’re not linked to your info but they are all linked to each other.
While I appreciate the nitpick, I think it’s likely the case that “kills a bunch of people” is also something we want to avoid…
For every single-family home a hedge fund owns over a certain limit each year, it would be subject to a tax penalty, the revenues from which would be used for down payment assistance programs for those seeking to buy their first home from a hedge fund.
Sounds like even if this gets passed, whatever penalties get assessed are just going right back to the hedge funds anyway? And it’s a 10-year plan… Kinda sounds like a whole lotta nothing. Disappointing.
Why are you calling other people in this thread dumb for not reading the article when you haven’t done the most basic amount of looking into it yourself?
Here is the sentencing memorandum from June (a few weeks prior to his sovcit outburst mentioned in the article, if I’m reading correctly) where the 21 day sentence was initially requested. It’s reachable in two clicks from the article, and it describes in excruciating detail all of his participation in Jan 6, as well as the broader context around his social media posts.
He pleaded guilty to one of the four counts he was originally charged with, and the AP notes that over 400 Jan 6th defendants have done the same. It’s unclear from the filing whether a plea agreement was offered; I would guess that it was, and that this is probably an effort to reduce the overall burden on the court system, because a) there are over 1200 individuals charges with crimes in connection with the events of Jan 6, and b) there is plenty of damning video evidence of most of it.
He’s still getting less than four months. It should be a lot worse to reflect the severity of what he did.
If a malicious actor has physical access to your machine, you have already lost. Been that way since the dawn of computing. Full-disk encryption can potentially protect your data from unauthorized access, but it can’t really stop a thief from wiping the laptop and making it their own. And if you get it back you probably want to wipe it anyway.
According to your link, hosting an exit node was not a crime by itself, this person pretty much encouraged the illegal activity
The Austrian Court found that this activity may lead to criminal liability for aiding and abetting of a crime of distribution of child pornography when coupled with other circumstances. Of course, mere provision of Tor Nodes would not be enough to establish at least indirect intent (bedingte Vorsatz), which such aiding and abetting under criminal laws usually requires (§ 5 StGB).
In order to find such circumstances, according to PCWorld, the court cited transcripts of chat sessions uncovered during the investigation in which the Weber told an unidentified correspondent “You can host 20TB child porn with us on some encrypted hdds”, “You can host child porn on our servers” and “If you want to host child porn … I would use Tor.” Weber defended himself against this on his blog saying: “Yes, this logs existed – Yes, i recommended Tor to host anything anonymously, including child pornography – Yes, this is of course taken out of context.”
Front trunk. It’s aggravating slang, but it’s been in use for decades, well before Tesla.
