xradeon@lemmy.oneto News@lemmy.world•Delta CEO says CrowdStrike-Microsoft outage cost the airline $500 million1·1 year agoI think what I was hearing is that the CrowdStrike driver is WHQL approved, but the theory is that it’s just a shell to execute code from the updates it downloads, thus effectively bypassing the WHQL approval process.
xradeon@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employeesEnglish2·1 year agoCorrect. In fact many, many companies have ASNs. Little companies all the way up to large ones. The key difference for an ISP is they allow you to route traffic through them. Almost every company that has an ASN blocks traffic from being routed through them, assuming they know how to configure that and that they have different peering points. Valve most certainly does not allow you to route through their network, they already have enough traffic just doing their own CDN stuff.
xradeon@lemmy.oneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When did Microsoft stop developing Windows to be good?2·1 year agoWindows Defender is actually really good for the common person. If you’re doing highly risky things then perhaps getting better software would be warranted. But if your doing low risk activates, Windows defender is pretty great.
Also, that’s not what VPNs do; you can still download ransomware through a VPN tunnel.
xradeon@lemmy.oneto News@lemmy.world•Treasury, IRS announce 'major milestone' of $1 billion in past-due taxes collected from millionaires9·1 year agoLet me guess, Congressional Republicans are going to hate this…
I think you’re still misunderstanding how this would work. So this battery swap setup is like the equivalent of going to the gas station. Basically, when your battery is close to being dead, you head to this place and get a fully charged battery. So it doesn’t matter that the battery is used, you just keeping swapping batteries out when you need it. Sure it would be annoying to know that when you bought the car, it came with a fresh battery that would get swapped out with an older battery, but you would have bought the car to get into the swapping system since this is mainly for folks that can’t do charging at home.
I think the battery swap is more like this.

No need to worry about pervious owners or anything. The system charges and maintains the bank of batteries you swap with.

xradeon@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Blizzard locks you out of account if you don't agree to new terms; no ownership, forced arbitrationEnglish81·1 year agoIf I don’t own the product after purchase, the button shouldn’t say “buy/purchase” it should say “rent”.
xradeon@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Blizzard locks you out of account if you don't agree to new terms; no ownership, forced arbitrationEnglish5·1 year agoI do like the idea of industry standard license.
My thoughts are:
- They need to limit EULAs to something like 600 words.
- Make them binding and non-changing to the product purchased, only newly purchased products can get the updated EULA.
- They should make a Ethics Policy (things like no cheating, be kind, no swearing, etc.) separate from the EULA. This Ethics policy can be updated whenever.

xradeon@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•BitLocker encryption broken in less than 43 seconds with sub-$10 Raspberry Pi Pico — key can be sniffed when using an external TPMEnglish1·1 year agoWhat do you mean by that? Generate a new private/public key pair every time you setup a new TPM? Or when you boot the system or something?
xradeon@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•BitLocker encryption broken in less than 43 seconds with sub-$10 Raspberry Pi Pico — key can be sniffed when using an external TPMEnglish1·1 year agoYou can’t do that since vulnerability is the connection between the TPM and the CPU, you need to encrypt that path.
xradeon@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•BitLocker encryption broken in less than 43 seconds with sub-$10 Raspberry Pi Pico — key can be sniffed when using an external TPMEnglish8·1 year agoThe private key would have to stored in clear text somewhere. Potentially if you had non volatile space on cpu that to store the private key, that might work. But if you’re going to do that, might as well just use an ftpm.
xradeon@lemmy.oneto News@lemmy.world•The FAA is tightening oversight of Boeing and will audit production of the 737 Max 971·2 years agoFAA and Boeing are basically the same entity at this point.
xradeon@lemmy.oneto Technology@lemmy.world•Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To FirefoxEnglish36·2 years agoHoly crap yes, honestly I get so tired of these firefox posts. I only get a Lemmy once a week or so now just cause every post is literally just how bad Chrome is and why you should switch to Firefox. XD
Hmm, probably not. I think it just has the single 120mm fan that probably doesn’t need to spin up that fast under normal load. We’ll have to wait for reviews.
