China, Russia, Iran, have shared interests and are known to help each other out, in some cases finding ways to go around sanctions. It's wrong to look at it as one country "vs the west". It's two sets of countries. Even if you don't fully agree with the US, a western country will have much more disagreement with countries from the other group.
Even that is true, it still doesn't make the west one block, and such title makes it believe so. There are no chip makers in Europe, so why even include it on the title ?
Utter disappointment. The post was building up to this great reveal only to end up with the most mundane explanation. Anyone who uses a bilingual (or more) keyboard has had something similar happen to them a few times.
This seems to me like a form of social engineering, or to some extent, being a bit insufferable. And, rest assured it will not result in anything useful. The only result of this is that you will alienate your friends and colleagues if they work for an employer you don't like.
Because any resource which is thought to be safe from bombardment will be utilized. Sadly this is extremely common all over the world. In war zones, armed forces use hospitals, schools, etc, as a base of operation (which invalidates its protected status by international law), then cry fowl when their cover is eventually bombed.
Not saying Ukraine used Chernobyl for military purposes, but it would definitely not surprise me if they did, or if Russia wanted to rule this out. Either way, war is awful, too bad we are only going towards more war and more conflict. We're a dumb species.
Since we're discussing impressive PC games from the 80s, I want to bring up Alley Cat. Besides being a very entertaining game that still holds up (well, if you can bare the PC Speaker beeps and boops), it is also a PC booter like the games mentioned in the post (ported from Atari).
Alley Cat had a very neat trick on the PC: it implemented its own clock independent of the CPU cycles. At the time, many games relied on counting CPU cycles to tell the time. This caused a problem when the next generation of PCs came out with a faster CPU (XT with 286 if I recall), because now the cycles went by much faster, making the games run insanely fast so it was impossible to play (fun sidequest: the Turbo button was supposed to help in this sort of situation). Alley Cat had no such issue since it implemented its own clock, and it can still run today at normal speed just as it did over 40 years ago.
Well, some people needed it for work, or for university. Some people got it from work to be able to work at home. Others may have had experience with 8 bit machines and had money when the PC hit the stores.
I am still surprised to see people making any connections between HN to actual hacker culture. While this message board has great content and moderation, it is sponsored and operated by one of the largest VCs in silicone valley. This is not your underground garage BBS running on a borrowed landline. HN is about making it in the tech industry and making money for shareholders.
> you can choose to pause AI by adjusting privacy settings, disabling AI features in apps, or requesting data removal from companies.
This is mostly futile regardless if it makes you feel better.
LLMs have been trained on everything from your decades old forum posts, newsgroups, old social media posts, silly newgrounds comments or helpful stackoverflow input, reddit shower thoughts, 9gag memes, etc.
Opting out now might prevent a negligible subset of your activity to be used in future training, but there will always be other services, other startups or flat out just companies who don't care about your consent.
The time to worry about your privacy online was probably 30 years ago, when the internet started picking up pace. More so around the 2010s when social media was booming.
All along, everyone knew you are handing your data, text and pictures to shady actors. Nobody cared.
Now these same actors give you a silly toggle and promise they won't use your data for AI training after virtually all leading AI models used this data to get to where we are. It's a clown show.
From what I gather, this is sort of what happened and why this was even posted in the first place. The models were able to immediately detect a change in their internal state before answering anything.
I don't know, man. I'm just now hearing about this, but after quickly looking it up, I've concluded that I can't legally buy it, I can't install it as a straightforward upgrade, and some of my games won't run on it. So, if I'm going to be breaking the law anyway, I might as well use the hack to install Windows 11 for free.
Here's the info I skimmed
"Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is designed for devices that need to run a single task consistently and securely for many years, with minimal changes. Examples include ATMs, medical devices, point-of-sale terminals, and industrial control systems. This Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) version intentionally omits modern features and frequent updates to ensure a highly stable, unchanging operating system."
"The IoT version is sold exclusively through authorized Microsoft partners and has a different licensing model. It is not for internal use on general-purpose PCs and purchasing it from third-party resellers is likely to involve an illegitimate or stolen key."
"Microsoft does not officially support or recommend a transition from Windows Home or Pro to a Windows IoT Enterprise LTSC version for regular users. "
"Some game anti-cheat software has been known to have issues with LTSC versions of Windows, leading to potential game compatibility or stability problems.
Dependency on the Xbox app: Games distributed via the Xbox app or Game Pass would be inaccessible. Many newer games also rely on components from the Xbox app for proper functionality, potentially leaving you locked out of a title even if you owned it on a different platform."
1. First and foremost, if your only problem with Window 11 is the TPM check, just bypass the TPM check. My gripes with Windows 11 go far beyond this so regardless of the hardware, I am never installing Windows 11.
2. Microsoft recommendations serve Microsoft's interests, not necessarily yours. Look surprised when Microsoft "recommends" you dump your perfectly usable computer for Windows 11.
3. Microsoft will be fine no matter what you choose to do on your machine.
4. Look a little deeper into LTSC IoT. It's Windows 10 with security updates and most things work fine. Yes there are trade-offs. For me, who never installs aggressive ring-zero anti cheat software for games, it was a no brainer. I also don't care about Xbox or the Microsoft Store. Having these things stripped from my Windows install is a feature, not a nuisance.
