Steam is different from the Google or Apple stores, because they aren’t the gatekeeper of a platform.
But yeah maybe 30% is a bit high for games that don’t use any of the steam features, just the payment processing, review section and download servers.
I just know they said from the start that you could buy three years at escalating prices. Then later, closer to the original end of support they made the first year of ESU free for users in the EEA, and then they made it buy-able for reward points or something like that for everyone.
tells me that free ESU support for private users will end in Oct 26
You’re probably right on that
I think it would be fine for me. Ever since I helped a surgeon to hold open a piece of human pelvis that was donated to science so he could experiment with our Hololens app some more, I know that I can apparently deal with dead people okay.
I was the programmer not any sort of medical staff, but since the assistants had left with the other senior surgeon for another assignments the remaining one asked me to hold on to one of the grips and pull a bit for a moment, so he could follow the bone with our 3D marker. Surreal situation.
The entire article is based on a false premise:
With ESU, you can still get security updates and minor fixes or improvements, but the catch is that extended support ends on October 13, 2026.
Not true, there are three years of ESU updates available.
Not sure what you are saying. With the order of the meme reversed it doesn’t make it obvious which point is supposed the clearer point of view…
Zettai ryōiki, the absolute territory, is the area between skirt and over the knee socks
Nowhere in the given scenario do secret keys leak.
I understand perfectly well, it’s you who doesn’t.
If the illegitimate access happens on the client which is the endpoint of the e2e-encryption then it doesn’t say anything about the e2e-encryption working or not working. On the endpoint the content is always available decrypted, for user consumption
Even if that’s all true, it’s not evidence that the end to end encryption is broken.
That sort of debug access could simply be included in the clients.
A movie is not software. It can’t control the device you own.
Ha you have no idea. They use new BluRay releases to distribute key revocation databases that block your BluRay drive from decrypting disks with older host keys.

Grid scale storage doesn’t strike me as an area of application where high energy density is important, so wouldn’t batteries with less conversion loss do an overall better job? I think grid scale Lithium-ion battery stores have become somewhat common.
I’d see gasoline from CO2 capture of interest more for airplanes, drones, ships, maybe even certain modes of long haul terrestrial transport where weight and volume is important.
The article speaks of a “Windows 365 suite of productivity apps” but that doesn’t exist.
There is the “Microsoft 365” suite of office apps, and there is the “Windows 365” offer of a Virtual Machine as SaaS.
It seems the thing that went down was the former and the ill timed announcement concerned the latter.
Still a good idea for specific cases though. An example from current news close to me: We have line ships on lake Zürich that can’t be electrified because either they are too old to sustain a major internal rework or, for some, they can’t carry the battery weight.
For a case like that I’d prefer if they put some CO2 capture stations up to keep running the ships rather than scrapping them prematurely.
… if the capture stations work, that is. Can’t trust the word of a startup too much.
You gotta get on Alan Wake 2.
Bit cruel after they just said they can’t run it 😄
Don’t make the mistake of looking at one region and generalising to a universal. Where are you looking at?
Here in Switzerland practically everything <1kV is buried.
For high voltage lines they have only built one section to experiment so far. It’s pretty expensive, heats the ground a bit and blocks water with all the concrete, so it’s not so clear if it’s a good choice for agriculture happening above.
I’ve wondered a lot why they don’t bury more infrastructure in hurricane regions in the US for example.
I’m just wondering how many devices still use dedicated TPMs, instead of the ones integrated in the SoC by AMD and Intel. Sniffing a bus inside the SoC must be significantly harder or impossible.
All the other discussions I found on Lemmy dismiss it because they find the idea of a second phone ridiculous. Or because they don’t buy into the “dumb phone” concept.
Looks like OP made a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Microsoft is being a dick. Booting from an external USB-attached SSD works fine once you work around the installer limitations.
When I did this I ended up basically partitioning the disk manually with diskpart and installing Windows manually using the command prompt. I used this blog post to guide me:
But I remember I had some issue that made me start over… what the heck was it. Something like the modern Windows 10 image being larger than what the author had encountered. Ah - I think the issue was the WIM file was over 4GB and wouldn’t fit on the authors 4096 MB “Recovery Image” partition. So make that one larger (check the iso for the wim file’s size) if you plan to create a recovery partition.
Another bookmark I made at the time was this, I think it was mainly for the command listing the SKUs supported by the WIM file, but no guarantees, it’s been a while: https://gist.github.com/Alee14/e8ce6306a038902df6e7a6d667544ac9
Good luck if you decide to try!
That’s for MBR partitioned disks, where they fight over the first sector of the disk which is used as the boot sector.
Computer models starting from around 2013 should support UEFI boot. If you boot in UEFI mode you use a GPT partitioned disk with an EFI System Partition. In there Windows does not overwrite grub. In mine for example grub was in the ESP under /EFI/fedora/ and Microsoft found the ESP and put its stuff in /EFI/Microsoft.
The worst I’ve experienced is that Windows puts the Windows Boot Manager back on top of the UEFI boot order, to fix that, I wrote a comment before, that I’ll just link here, if it’s really just the order you can also just change it back in the UEFI menu.
Another bad thing is that some laptop UEFIs, especially early ones are utterly broken. They ignore your boot order, or your entries in the UEFI boot manager, sometimes they just load the fallback path defined in the UEFI spec, which is \EFI\Boot\BOOTX64.efi, but that’s the OEMs fault. I’ve seen both Fedora and Microsoft write their loader to the fallback path. I’m not sure if they clobber the other ones if it exists already, because I never boot from that path, so I wouldn’t notice.
In the old post from when the update was released a Heise article is linked, that contains indicators of compromise, and in turn links to Kevin Beaumont for the details of his analysis:
