Kurt Schuschnigg, Austrian Chancellor, went to talk with Hitler in 1938, and under his pressure added Austrian Nazis to his government, for example on the Interior Minister post.

France officially complained about the re-militarization of the Rhineland in 1936, and later about the Anschluss of Austria in 1938.

Poland talked to Hitler and rejected their demands to hand over Danzig in 1937.

So I guess yes, on specific points at specific times. But I’m not sure if that’s the kind of thing you meant?

I forgot about that game. What was it again? Some sort of shooter moba?

It would be very funny and well deserved if they invested on his pressure and in a few years Venezuela just nationalises everything again.

the next president will basically dedicate their career to undoing Trump’s BS

And don’t forget half the time Trump undoes his own purported industrial policy.

With the tariffs he was so inconsistent and capricious, that nobody could rely on having an edge over foreign competition long term and so nobody would dare to invest in manufacturing in the USA. If he felt like it he just cut them off from their essential foreign inputs too. Not to mention how he threatened pulling back the CHIPS Act subsidies from Intel, or how he raided Hyundai.

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

My best guess is that since BCS-East was finished 1995, and both countries only had telecom liberalisation in 2003, maybe there was a time where it was easier to build through the water, because it wouldn’t encroach on the monopolists market on the land.

Or it was a sort of easier starter project before the BCS-East-West Interlink was built until 1997 from Lithuania over to Gotland, while also allowing Alcatel to sell access from/to Gotland from/to both Lithuania and Latvia.

FWIW, this has NOT disrupted the local internet significantly.

That’s good to hear. I figured between Lithuania and Latvia there should be enough terrestrial routes for redundancies to work out fine.

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.

Emergency thermal shut-off is a very common function in various pieces of computer hardware. And if throttling doesn’t help it should indeed shut down, rather than cause damage.

Since the graphic is counting sales in units sold I guess free to download “live services” wouldn’t really appear.

Would be interesting to see the same counting revenues.

No idea, since I have no way of knowing how the second hand market around you looks like. I just looked for a similar (in performance) card, not of the newest gen so there would hopefully be some used models around.

You’re re-opening the microkernel vs monlithic kernel debate with that. For fun you can read how Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Linus Torvalds debated the question in 1992 here: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.minix/c/wlhw16QWltI

Maybe the RX 7600 XT.

It’s in the second to latest generation (7000 not 9000), should be slightly faster than a GTX 1080, and doubles the VRAM capacity to 16 GB so you wouldn’t be in danger of running into limitations with that too soon.

Good analogy. It also brought to mind the bumpers you can enable for kids in bowling.

When I was a child I used to ask my dad to input the invulnerability cheat in Doom. I was way too bad at movement, aiming and basically just everything, that I could have had fun otherwise. Likewise for Anno 1602, there I needed the money cheat because otherwise I’d just go bankrupt. I didn’t understand the income balance yet but I still had fun building economy chains.

I’m not sure I have a point here. Just remembered cheating as a child because I needed it. Probably haven’t cheated in 18 years now.

Yeah they are fun!

Also pretty easy I’d say.

Yes there is also device managment for them. Our company uses Jamf. Not sure how it compares to AD group policies in power but some restrictions, settings and updates get pushed on the regular.
