Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.

This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.

Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.

Oh, do you happen to be a physicist or an analyst?

Same. Maybe I… gasp… like trains?

I wonder if we can really trust the TEEs. Isn’t it their hardware where they are quite free to do what they want? Also it looks very vulnerable to the side-channel attacks.

I feel like they are confounding LLMs AND general AI/ML. The latter is useful in many areas, while the former is mostly hype imo.

That’s such a way to dismiss the theory and academia

You know that is a lie, a lip service for the gullible mass. Samsung just does not care about security and privacy because it does not boost their profits.

Maybe I should admit defeat and go back to reddit… Perhaps everyone is supposed to be slaves to the shareholders

Do you mean python has something to do with functional programming, or did I misread? Because I would say e.g. Typescript is (slightly) closer to FP than Python.

This made me realize that I am a nerd. Sad.

Fuck, what do I do when they inevitably discontinue support for 20xx? Just cry and accept that I no longer have a computer, as every component costs as much as a house? D:

Since they leaked data, here’s more sensitive data to leak for them? Dafuq?

Yeah, the 2nd monitor briefly turns itself off and on in the same moment the 1st monitor tears. I will try to follow the steps.

It only happens in one monitor, another monitor is completely fine - although another monitor flicker when the monitor tears. I will check the monitor with other hardware (e.g. laptops). The connection type is HDMI, sadly the monitor does not seem to have DisplayPort connection.

First of all, thanks a lot! I should try different ones. To try the different ports, I need to open up the case, right? That sounds like work, but maybe that’s unavoidable. Guess I should check if the tearing occurs with laptops first.

Strangely, the tearing seems to happen more frequently in Linux. I am not sure how… Also, turning the monitor off and on briefly fixes the tearing. Does it say anything about it? Plus, it only happens in one monitor, another monitor is completely fine - although another monitor flicker when the monitor tears.

Wait, so that was also Microsoft? Oh no… I just gave away more money to them :/

I relate to others, but isn’t the Rubix cube quite common in STEM people? Dunno what that has to do with autism

I mean, thoughts on nuclear waste? They certainly need management, and I dunno if humans are good at waste management.
