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 😄
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.
The weirdest part is that Minneapolis (44.9778° N, 93.2650° W) is further south than Milano (45.4685° N, 9.1824° E)
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.
Probably yes. Dionysius Exiguus invented numbering years since the supposed birth of Christ, instead of counted by era of Roman consuls. So by 1066 the practice would have been common throughout Christian Europe. The only doubts I have are around the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar later, and whether the 14 October 1066 would be counted as the 14 October 1066 in their system. But I think the year would be right.
check-out “model extraction attacks”
The search results I’m seeing for that term point to people extracting (a clone of) the model, through interacting with the available API of an otherwise closed model. I’m not really seeing anyone interacting with a model to extract its training input data.
Is there a better search term, or do you have a more direct reference to lossless extraction of training data from model weights?
Or Swiss, it sounds very familiar. My French sucks. I did get DELF B2 level at the time, but damn do I struggle when I need to work in Lausanne with locals nowadays.
I forgot about that game. What was it again? Some sort of shooter moba?
Especially in zombie survival movies. Except in Zombieland, there it’s just the sister I think.
Her left handed dad - who grew up in a country which had no left handed things - wasn’t able to use the scissors.
That’s interesting to me. I’m a lefty who’s used to both types of scissors. That means I know how I need to pull sideways with the knuckle of my thumb in the right handed ones so they still cut well. But with the left handed ones I feel like I’m doing way less, I just pull and push up and down without needing the additional deliberate sideways pressure.
Can confirm, Firefox with uBlock Origin works. The OS doesn’t seem to matter. I use that combination on Linux (Fedora 43), Windows (10), macOS (15) and Android (16), no YouTube ads anywhere.
on YouTube (on my TV, still need to get a piHole up and running
Unfortunately that won’t help. The Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos, so a DNS based blocker is inherently powerless.
you can only run executables on the primary boot partition
lol
Have you tried asking ChatGPT or Gemini ?
lmao
That was a rhetorical question after I pointed out the inconsistency: The author claimed they keys were for verification and then also said they were used to decrypt.
That’s most likely bullshit, and if it isn’t they should explain the unusual setup in detail instead of glossing over it.
Yeah agreed especially further down when it’s just randomly rehashing old history. It’s also mixing up decryption and verification even in the beginning of the article. First they write:
BootROM (Level 0): The CPU runs code burned into it at the factory. This code is immutable (cannot be changed). It uses the ROM Keys to verify the signature of the next loader.
Then just two paragraphs below:
The ROM Keys change everything. With these keys, hackers can decrypt the Level 1 Bootloader.
So which is it? Usually bootloaders in a chain hash the next stage. That hash is compared with the signed hash the stage presents, and the signature on the signed hash is cryptographically verified against the locally stored trusted keys. No encryption or decryption takes place. Maybe this is different for the PS5 but then that would be noteworthy, not something you just assume readers to know.
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.
