For now, but DP and specially DP over USB-C is becoming gradually more popular for computer hardware, someone paying 400 euros for a GPU doesn’t mind paying 10 bucks extra on an adapter if they have an HDMI monitor. But most monitors nowadays come with DP anyway.

Avc (h264) 8bits video, with AAC audio, hardcoded subtitles and .mp4 container.

That should be warrantied to work on every dumb device built this or last decade.

It’s just that society has much bigger problems than the price of ram sticks.

Like the price of housing, the price of food, transportation…

I don’t find this even worth mentioning, that’s just it.

So just another day in capitalist society. Nothing to write home about imo.

Thanks! So literally a nothing burger.

I hate YouTube clickbait.

This seems really cool. Gonna try it out.

Better if they don’t leave your device in the first place, encryption should always be considered a last line of defence, just because some encryption is unbreakable today, it may be easily broken in the future as breakthroughs in computers and mathematics advance.

Instead of paying for cloud backups just buy some hard drives, it’s cheaper in the long run too.

It’s a museum, it’s only natural.

Drive is full, that’s the problem!

if you’re using proper encryption it’s going to be difficult or impossible to decrypt the files on the drive, so the data should be secure even if the drive is stolen, copied, etc.

Encryption should always be the last line of defence, encryption that is unbreakable today may be trivially broken tomorrow. Which is why I also I still prefer to overwrite drives with random data instead of just trusting the sanitise command (Even though I know that a big chunk of the data stays unoverwritten as part of the drive’s “provisional area”.

(Which raises another issue that “deleting” a luks keyslot or the whole header doesn’t actually warranty it’s deleted, may have just be moved to the provisional area. So if a key somehow is compromised it becomes nessesary to physically destroy the drive.)

However, when you’re actively using the drive and have files decrypted, and then you lose physical access to your devices, you have a problem. IIRC that’s how they got Ross Ulbricht’s files - monitored him until he unlocked his laptop in a cafe and then grabbed it (and him). If you’re worried about that specific threat profile it makes a little more sense to have an easily accessible physical DELETE EVERYTHING NOW button that only operates when the drive is running.

In that case I rather use something that will reboot the computer and shred the ram as it would serve the same purpose with the bonus that contents can’t also be recovered from ram. Something like an usb drive with a string wrapped around the wrist.

Now, in the situation that the keys have leaked somehow, (like recording the keyboard from afar while the user types the passphrase) then the self-erasing hard drive makes a lot more sense, assuming the user has time to trigger the mechanism.

Now the issue is, that overwriting even a fast ssd takes time, so I’m assuming the device works by destroying or erasing a security chip that holds the keys for the main storage, however the data is still there if the adversary cuts the power before overwriting the whole drive. Ofc encrypted, but like I said before, encryption may be broken tomorrow. A physical or chemical solution that grinds or dissolves the chip somehow seems to me a better option, with the bonus that it can be made to work without electricity.

So, let’s see if I understand, the device only destroys the data after it’s connected to a computer.

So an adversary can just not connect it to a computer and extract the data through alternative means (like unsoldering the chip and reading it directly.

The device should be able to destroy itself either from an internal battery or some physical or chemical mechanism.

Think Leftists And Conservatives Are Equally Bad

The word Equally here makes it sound like the author agrees that leftists are bad, (just not equality as bad)

Assuming they honor the opt-out, most of the other gmail recipients won’t opt-out, so they can still read your emails on the other end.

Raspberry pi + kodi

Too bad they stole the word “libertarian” :(

My mother still uses a tablet with android 4 (and the last firefox version to support it) and I can’t convince her to spend money on a new tablet for anything.

Also, imo using an outdated browser is much of a bigger problem than using an outdated OS, as it’s the browser that connects to thousands of random untrusted servers.

I don’t usually recommend this, but since you are in a situation where you really can’t afford a VPN or a seedbox and live in a country where torrenting is prosecuted then I think that grants a free pass to abuse the tor network a bit and torrent over tor.

There are some guides online on now to route the traffic, note that it’s very easy to leak traffic if you don’t know what you’re doing. Look for a good guide . I’m guessing the safest way to do it is by using Whonix.

If going that route avoid downloading big torrents if you can find smaller ones or try to search for direct downloads first.

And also, I don’t usually say this, but, avoid seeding. Yes leeching is bad, but saturating tor is probably worse I think.

Last time a fake id worked, just searched for an id sample online and gimped it to match the name and the date on the google acc.

Didn’t even have to change the default photo.

This was some years ago, idk if it still works tho.

I hate to be the one defending companies but this time I have to align with the ISPs.

As a “fake fiber” client myself, there’s virtually no performance difference between the two. But “fiber” has become such a marketing slang that most clients wouldn’t signup for an ISP if they don’t sell “fiber”.

Alternatively the ISP would have to replace perfectly functional infrastructures purely for the sake of marketing, resulting in waste.

But Telegram doesn’t even support e2ee for groups or web or desktop clients.
