Why do i want a copy of something I am only going to watch once? And why should I keep a copy if I can just stream it again from the same or some different site for free in the future?
Streaming is just more practical. Doesn’t matter if its legal or piracy
Edit to clarify: I am not saying this opinion is good, it is an example of how many people think and the reason why pirate streaming sites exist
Congrats you managed to skip over the first and second sentence in my 2 sentence comment.
A VPN is not like a physical product. YOU ARE BUYING TRUST. You shift the point of trust from your ISP, network provider, government etc to the VPN provider. You say “I trust this company more than I trust these other players, so I use their VPN which hides my traffic from these other players but puts the VPN provider in a position where they can see all my network traffic”.
When the product is “trust” there is no separation. I do no longer trust the CEO so I will not use the product that relies on that trust.
So due to the nature of it beeing riddles it is quite possible the answer is bugged and the hash wrong. But because nobody “knows” they have the solution nobody can say it is a bug.
The votes are always political even when the show doesn’t highlight it. Who wins and looses is mostly about which country the artist is from and the current events in that country. The music, performance, composition etc. barely matters
They do better about privacy because they make enough money from their inflated prices and blind brand loyalty where they dont have to become an ad company like google. Google is very good at protecting their users data from third parties, as long as they can still collect all of it.
Apple (currently) doesn’t collect a lot of data which allows them to design products with security as a primary component instead of as an afterthought
Fines as a percentage of income is a good idea for individuals but I dont think it works for coorperations.
A more reasonable approach is:
This third point is the important one. Cooperations comit crimes because they are reasonable monetary investments. If the expected fines are always higher than the expected earnings, crimes become a bad investment.
Only if they can be turned off (same as the cryo sleep). The whole ship either has to have enough energy to last potentially 100000 years (no theoretical power source exists like that) or enter a state of 0 energy consumption. Solar/radiation collectors dont work if you are to far from a star. Synthetic life still needs energy
While I agree on the facts I want to offer a slightly different (possible) conclusion: a organisation like wikileaks needs resources and supporters. If they are targeted by all the “good guy”-countries and the only one willing to support them is “evil guy” Russia, then they are not in a position to resist. They chose to compromise their integrity instead of just not existing.
If the western world wants a whistleblower/leaks organisation that follows journalistic integrity and ethics, they need to fund it even if it leaks their own internal documents.
Dont think its quantum. Its all deterministic and based on the music of the ainur. So its analog.
Would you need a power source? If you aim your ship correctly, then put everything alive into cryo, the ship could go completely dark, vent all heat and become a frozen rock. Then after [very long time] the ship enters the vicinity of a different star and can be reactivated and unfrozen using solar energy. You dont need energy to maintain cryo if the whole ship is at 1° kelvin.
(Of course that relies on cryo sleep being possible)
here is how to opt out.
Proceeds to never say how to opt out
Deleting a file does not overwrite the data. It just marks that area of the drive as “free”. Using forensic tools (or simply dd) you can read data from “empty” parts of the drive. To be save you have to overwrite each file. You can try tools like shred to scramble the data of a file before deleting it, but as they say themselfes, unfortunately your filesystem might not actually let you do that (scroll to the CAUTION section).
You can use dd to write bytes to arbitrary places of the drive, but again, the filesystem might lie to you where a file is actually located. The ONLY way to be entirely sure is to wipe the whole drive. And if your IT does not do that before handing a system to a new employee, then they are not doing their job correctly.
Not legal advice: just tell them you installed a few viruses (while the system was not connected to the company network of course) and they should nuke the system before handing it to anybody else.
(You can also wipe the drive yourself by booting from a stick and overwriting the entire drive)
It doesn’t matter if AI is run on green energy as long as other things are still running on fossil fuels. There is a limit to how fast renewables energy sources are built and if the power consumption of AI eats away all of that growth, then the amount of fossil energy doesn’t change.
All increases in energy consumption are not green because they force something else to run on fossil energy for longer.
A big part is groups selling Yoda plushies to star wars fans, telling those fans to kill people buying bb8 plushies so they don’t loose out on sales. Many (most?) of those deaths are about money and power
Blender is widely used in many industries. digital images, movies, TV series, games, marketing material, and many more.
There are most definitely studios (indie and corporate) doing cool stuff in blender
