Ugh! Now I have the desire to play Super Star Trek. Because the cool kids in the computer club (they had very limited space in the computer room and I didn’t get in) got to play it on the mainframe teletype.

It’s never work in the US because holding private companies accountable for how they spend public money and maintaining well regulated competitive markets is communism or something

It did work in the US for many years. During the 90’s the Internet was regulated like that. Phone lines, t1’s etc were infrastructure that the ilec was required to provide at the same cost to isps they used internally to sell service to consumers.

Then Bush came in and ruled that fiber and cable were immune from those common carrier laws.

As others gave said, the solution is a VM but once setup correctly, you won’t notice.

If Windows is your primary computer, install HyperV, the built in VM manager for Windows. Then create a Linux VM for your NAS.

Once setup, you won’t even notice. HyperV auto saves and reloads the VM whenever you reboot. You don’t even need a window open for the VM, it runs in the background until you run the manager to connect to the VM and see it in a window.

If Linux is your primary OS, do the reverse and put Windows in a Linux VM.

Don’t hassle with Proxmox, etc. That’s for running lots of VM’s and toggling between them.

You might want to consider that backups only protect very old data from ransomware.

Ransomware works by getting on a machine and sitting for several months before activating. During that time, your data is encrypted but you don’t know because when you open a file, your computer decrypts it and shows you what you expect to see. So your backups are working but are saving files that will be lost once the ransom ware activates.

The only solution is to frequently manually verify the backup from a known safe computer. Years ago I looked for something to automate this but didn’t find it. (Something like a raspberry pi with no Internet that can only see the PC it’s testing, compares a known file, then touches the file so it gets backed up again.)

Just because you can break RSA doesn’t mean you instantly get access to all private databases.

Encryption by itself isn’t important. You know all those big company data leaks that seem to happen every month? That data was very likely encrypted. But it doesn’t matter because when you control a computer, you can see the encryption keys being used and decrypt whatever is stored.

What does it do that you can’t get by typing something into the chatgpt website?

I don’t know where the 20 million comes from Estimates are 4000 qbits for RSA 2028.

We can’t have access to these things now, but we used to.

??? There was no change. It was always illegal. This was a petition to change it to be legal and the petition was denied.

Despite it being illegal, Internet Archive has hosted and I hope will continue to host rom collections like tiny best set go.

Agi and LLM are two different things that fall under the general umbrella term “AI”.

That a particular LLM can’t be censored doesn’t say anything about its abilities.

50% of the US wants Trump. I have no doubt that 50% would sign up for Musky credit.

Physical rentals are still legal. This is only about the legality of online rom downloads.

It’s impossible to specifically target Facebook and Snapchat without also affecting Lemmy and YouTube comments.

They’re all social media with minor UI differences.

Yes but that could be added in a W10 update just like they’ve already done with previous W10 updates.

They’ve been adding spyware and ads into W10 so it’s not the money. They could easily add all W11 ads/spyware into 10 with an update. Older CPUs have several hardware vulnerabilities unrelated to the TPU required by W11.

IMO, they should add a startup message listing the hardware vulnerabilities of the installed CPU and leave it up to the customer.

He can’t get the money to find it so he is suing the city to take the risk.

If he prepaid the $50 million to excavate, sort, and rebuild the landfill, there would be no problem.

It’s not a dump but a landfill. There’s a liner to keep toxic trash from leaking into ground water. There are venting tubes for methane. There are alternating layers of trash and compacted soil to keep it stable.

There is no such thing as an airtight contract when dealing with Musk. He simply ignores it until you sue.

Why did someone downvote you? I don’t understand Lemmy users.

Even a no name sound bar from Walmart will be a major improvement.

Yes, they asked, “Supreme Court?” But I clarified that is not what I meant by next level.

I meant escalate the number of people being disconnected starting with the court that made the ruling. Or perhaps the judge wants that so as to force ISPs to be declared as utilities.

ISP’s want it both ways. They want the protection of utilities without the regulations.
