No I don't think there really were many so your point is valid

But the law works like that, things are in a grey area or in limbo until they are defined into law.

That means the new law can be written to either protect consumer privacy, or make it legal to the letter to rape consumer privacy like this bill, or some weird inbetween where some shady stuff is still explicitly allowed but in general consumers are protected in specific ways from specific privacy abuses

This bill being the second option is bad because typically when laws are written it then takes a loooong time to reverse them

Sadly the study itself is paywalled so I couldn't go too deep into it but reading some other articles and also some other news articles covering this study, the way I understand it is so:

Heat buildup in electronics cause a reduction in performance, and is a direct result of electricity flowing through the electronic circuits. Therefore it is unavoidable (at least until we achieve room temp superconductors - which conduct electricity without causing heat build up).

So far we have relied on passive heat flow to keep electronic circuits under their max operating temperature. For example, a heat sink attached directly to critical locations of heat build up in the circuit. In this example, the heat cant be controlled, it is always flowing into the heat sink.

When the circuit is first activated the heat sink is at room temp and can conduct heat out of the circuit at a high rate. However, the sink has a maximum rate of heat dissipation, so once the sink heats up, the rate of heat flowing out of the circuit and into the sink is decreased, which necessitates a reduction in the circuits performance to decrease it's heat production

Think of it like a kitchen sink. The tap can blast water into the sink at a high rate but the drain cant drain the water at the same rate, so once the sink is full, you have to turn down the flow of water from the tap. The tap is the flow of heat from the circuit into the heat sink, and the drain is the heat dissipating from the heat sink.

Apparently, this new device will form a critical part of a different, more controlled method of heat dissipation.

The way I understand it, you could perhaps have 2 heat sinks with the device directing the flow of heat to only one sink at a time. When the first heat sink reaches critical capacity, instead of reducing the performance of the circuit to reduce heat production, the new device can efficiently and rapidly switch the flow of heat into the second heat sink, which has been inactive up until this point.

The first heat sink no longer has heat flowing into it and can cool down rapidly, while the newly active heat sink can conduct heat out of the circuit at peak performance until it reaches capacity.

At which point, presumably, the new device from the study would switch the heat flow again, back into the first heat sink, which can perform maximally once more as it has theoretically returned to room temp.

To use the kitchen sink analogy, it would be like having two kitchen sinks, and the newly created device allows you to switch the tap to the second sink once the first is full without decreasing the flow out of the tap. The first sink then has time to drain without any further water input while the second sink can handle the full output of the tap.

I think it was somewhere in eastern Europe, and the carving translated to 'if your seeing this there will be another famine'

Unless your talking about something else

Yes, also one says 'Niugini' which sounds to me like New Guinea, and the other two mention 'Pacific' as well so I'd say your deduction is astute hehe

Should learn yes, but are they? Who is teaching them? In my experience, many people who don't seem to think they know how to judge accurate information online.

They seem to go by how convincing it sounds and how smart the person sounds. So convincing pseudoscience is all it takes to have a bunch of people sure it must be legit and no one is really teaching them otherwise.

Amazon is feeding into this by taking advantage of peoples trust in large companies. People also seem to assume that well, it's amazon, they're a big global company, they must be trustworthy and thus most of what they sell is too.

I don't think that most people are even aware that alot of the things on amazon are from third party sellers either.

Same as the s9+ and I loved it, I miss it so much

What's the name of the feudalism pokemon?

I imagine it has more to do with phones being the most common and main way GenZ becomes familiar with tech, with which you mostly just open an app and it knows which files and where they are, presenting them in a way that skips the whole file/directory experience for 95% of use cases

I know right, it has its uses but for me at least the written word is so much more efficient... I almost never watch YouTube videos but I consume hundreds of articles every week

I always use dingusi, now I'm just confused

TIL

Yeah I can't wait for the day that securing my privacy on my car cripples it to the same extent that disabling bloatware cripples my phones functionality (literally couldn't send/recoeve calls or texts or use any browser)

Doesn't seem far off with that Mozilla study honestly

Those two communities have 3 subs total, and two of them are me (just subbed now)

You should let people know that you actually mean enable developer settings and that's what's behind that link you provided because some might get turned off if they don't get your joke (of they don't know anything about it, how could they get the joke) and not even bother to open the link, assuming you actually mean they need developer skills or some sort of accreditation hehe

Because it's open source i.e. fully upgradable and repairable, and the mission behind the company is something I would want to support.

It's a prebuilt company that doesn't use proprietary garbage to force each and every customer to buy an entire new system when their original purchase starts to become obsolete.

I don't own anything from system76, I've built my own my whole life, but I still believe prebuilts should be for people who can't build their own, not a timeless and somehow socially acceptable way to scam your customer and still have them come back for more

Firstly, if it's taking you to the programs website, you don't want that, you should block the program from accessing the internet using Windows firewall. Create an inbound and outbound rule blocking the program. It's good practice to always do this with cracked programs, after install but before opening the program.

Secondly, look for a file with the type .NFO in the torrent files and open with a text editor like notepad (right click, open with, select notepad) and that file should have instructions from the cracker on how to install the program and crack properly

It would help if you mention which program your trying to install. Screenshots of the pop ups your talking about would also help me help you since I'm not sure I understand what your referring to exactly.

Let me know if you need anymore help

Yeah that's been almost my only complaint for my last 3 Samsung phones... Damn north american models!
