CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Based on years of experience with @protonprivacy ... they take baby steps, to ensure nothing breaks. But they also give access to new features to users earlier as well. So if you want to join the fun earlier, you can opt-in.

Visionary users (not an available plan any more) gets access much earlier as well, and can often opt-in there too. When Proton opens up for opt-in at this stage, more publicly, they've decided to expand the scope further.

I expect that PQC will be enabled by default in 6-12 months - and then after some more time (2-5 years?) you can no longer create non-PQC keys at all manually.

Proton have far over 100 million users to care for. If something broke badly in the first transition, it would end up very bad for both Proton and all their users. This way they do more a controlled way of enabling new features while reducing the risks as well as lowering the consequences if something bad happens.

While I understand the annoyance of enabling it manually now, it the very end I'm pretty sure you'll see it will become the default with time.

Most likely just a tiny pre-configured base Debian and RHEL images, with the smallest desktop environment available. Used to kick off a disposable VMs to test exploits in a safer and more controlled environment. Once the testing is done, the image for that particular VM is deleted.

I wouldn't expect a minute more than absolutely needed was spent to configure the desktop.

At least that's what I prefer to do.

@Viss Tried to not lick your fingers afterwards?

@neilmadden I've heard some tricks here .... place them in a room (can be a bit colder, but give it ordinary daylight) for 3-6 months or so without caring much more for them (do not water them). Then they often wake up to life again.

They seem to never really die.

I only know this because of some people panicking when I was about to throw a few in the trash a while back. The new care takers brought them back to life.

The speed limit is now 20 km/h, at least in Oslo

@babe When I'm in a "good mood", I answer these surveys in the most negative way possible. In the comment field I write something like:

Loved your service/product all until you sent me this survey. That you need to beg for feedback like this shows me you completely lack any kind of confidence in what you provided me. I've taken notice and will look for alternatives as soon as possible.

Punkt to som gjør NRK ganske så ubrukelig: De har begynt å resirkulere gamle artikler, hvor artikler fra uken før (eller eldre) som nå havner sammen med nyere artikler.

Artikkelen om John Harald er fra 19. april. De andre rundt er fra i dag.

Har begynt å lese mer på abcnyheter.no istedet for på nrk.no.

Faksmilen under er en del av problemet NRK har nå. Slikt skriveslurv er bare så slitsomt å prøve å lese seg igjennom. NRK har droppet helt kvalitet over kvantitet.

Det er ting jeg heller ikke liker med abcnyheter også. Som at alle titler har minst litt "click-bait" over seg. Og det er ikke lett å se fra siden med artikkeloversikten hva som bare er en liten notis eller en fullverdig artikkel.

Men det som er av fullverdige artikler på abcnyheter virker bedre bearbeidet og ser ut til å ha mer journalistisk integritet enn "lekestua" til NRK.

Have you looked at the price for the T203 unlock kit? AliExpress has them for $275 and upwards.

Probably makes more sense when recovering quite some devices. But nothing likely what someone does for a 2-5 Macs. And then you need the appropriate hotglue gun and a functional Mac along side to reprogram the T2 chip.

Might be worth it if you got a pile of macs which the OP picture shows.

But it is clearly not good for the ability to repair/fix used machines. Quite good for device security though.

Just wondering if this approach renders previous data completely unreadable or if it's possible to scrape off data from the device somewhere in this process.

Men altså ...

– Appen, som vil være kompatibel med både mobile enheter og datamaskiner, vil kreve at brukerne laster opp passet eller ID-kortet sitt for å bekrefte alderen sin anonymt, sa EU-sjef von der Leyen.

Hvor mye har man drukket for å kunne si noe sånt? Hva i all verden er det som er anonymt i pass eller ID-kort?!?

Dette er så dumt at jeg håper journalisten har misforstått.

@pheonix I would consider it if was open source, all the way. I would never pay for a closed source software unless there are absolutely no other viable alternatives.

I am willing to donate to projects I use regularly, which I also do from time to time. But for me to donate, it need to fill a need I have over time and I need to agree to the development path they're headed.

You could say I'm a fan of «vote with your wallet».

@stux such a policy (which I don't mind at all!) is kinda ironic on masto.ai ....
