You already pointed out reasons, why people might lack the necessary judgement in one moment. The issue is that it is enough if one person fails to abide by the security rules once. So for the attacker all that is needed for a large enough organization is persistence.

So for practical matters:

Lobbying takes time and effort, but it can be effective if done resiliantly.

Find out who in your local community has money and power. Find issues to reach out to other people and politicians on. Maybe there is a new school that would need to be build, butthe guy holding the land refuses to sell at a fair rate? Maybe there is an elderly women being kicked out of her house?

One problem is people havinga detached and abstract idea of super rich people and dont see how their immediate lifes are affected for the worse by it.

There is many people who look into the big picture, like we saw with the Panama papers and other investigative journalism. Did anything tangible come out of it? Why not? I think it is because people are not demanding for it politically. It is some abstract accepted injustice.

But through local action you can steer your community and by this you can force your political representative to adress these issues. That also means looking into the way they voted on issues and holding them accountable. Imagine they voted against an education spending bill and the next week there is a "moms for education" protest in front of his local office and it is all over local news.

Apply the pressure from the bottom up. No billionaire cares what John Doe from Springfield thinks. But they care what congress thinks. And congress cares what the members think. And the members care, what their electorate thinks. And that is where you, or everyone really, can make a difference.

Also land ownership is literally extracting money from having arbitrarily exclusive access to an "inert" ressource.

Yo just mind your own business. You see a fly and want to gulp it down as you always do. Suddenly the fly drags you towards the riverbank. You fight and fight but it is futile. You are pulled out of the water only to stare down the eye of a men, who proudly tells his son "ye see thee big one? Thats how ye do it."

If they secdee it is not "your own infrastructure" for the main country anymore.

How is "about two years" more clear? about two years for me subjectively means everything between 20 and 28 month. Do you know how much time that is? about half a year. But for someone else it might mean 22 and 26 month. Or 18 and 30 month.

This is brilliant.

I meant in the sense, that if you had to install a new OS on a device, doing a beginner friendly linux distro is easier than bypassing TPM requirements and then dealing with the fallout of that in Windows 11.

I trust you not to ask your aunt to install an OS by herself.

That sounds a hell lot more complicated than installing a linux distro like mint or ubuntu.

90 weeks is more like 20 month and i could calculate that off of my head by knowing that a year has 52 weeks. I would have struggled more with days.

You could make this criticism about any date metric that it gets more or less easy to translate into a different metric.

Weeks are perfectly fine and most commonly used in the business context.

I found it quite interesting, but we had a more theoretical focus. It is still a good bit of "magic" to me. Especially the whole Kernel stuff.

Just two weeks until Christmas. You thought about which gifts to get yet?

Pasteurized products are not sterile.

Sterilization should only be used to describe processes that leave no living microorganisms or fruitable spores behind.

Because these cost relevant money.

Do you know why BMW proposed the subscription for the seat heating? Because it was cheaper to just build it in than to alter it repeatedely during production.

But the board computer will be the same. Communication devices will be the same. The backend servers at KIA will be the same and running services for each car anyway.

There is no relevant cost associated with it.

150$/year, so about 1500$ over thelifespan of a car is far beyond what it costs to implement and maintain these features. If everyone would pay it in the base price it would maybe cost 100$ in total. So already the people paying the base subscription are getting ripped off.

Millihertz are used for gravitational waves in Astrophysics.

Then include it in the base price and be done with it. Why do they put it in subscription? To mask the actual price and through this pull off a massive price increase for the customer.

Most certainly not.

He was both a key actor internationally and in the US, to stir anti-semitism. The US was on a good trajectory to become fascist themselves too, if it wasn't for the war with Japan starting. The reluctance to intervene as well as to take jewish refugees.

Tens of thousands of the millions of jews that were killed by Nazi Germany could have been saved if the US didnt impose strict limits on immigration as the result of lacking public support.

Sniper and Medic are the peak COD classes though. Assault rifles/SMGs with infinite self-heal or sitting somewhere back one-shoting people.

I felt the game move away more from COD since not everyone is running Medic with Vector. Also Sniper and Medic are still the most popular classes, so they were certainly not nerved into oblivion.

How is it different?

They programmed all the features. The technical systems are the same and all that is required for an unlock is them flipping a digital button. There is no real cost on their side to provide these features to non subscription customers too.
