M$ is like a boyfriend - you tell him “No, don’t touch me there!”

and an hour later his hands are wandering the same direction again…

That’s M$ intention, to hide some settings from users and lose control of Windows.

As I stated in other reply

This is just some of BS public stunts, they are trying to hide and create misinformation to deceive people. The mastermind of the online gambling issue here, is one of their cronies. A businessman, this guy being protected by top military brass and former general including a new elected president.

My guess? This is just PR from their politicians to say “they are saving the country” or whatever bullshit without actually doing anything useful

If you need offline version of the sites you can save them with SingleFileZ

because today’s computer are so incredibly weak they can’t handle a few megabytes of text anymore.

I mean, sites today are more richer compared to earlier 2000s. We have css, more complex js scripts, embedded fonts, embedded videos etc. I’m sure you understand that it takes more than a few megabytes of RAM.

Microsoft : first time?

Mander is not the only instance having this issue. Other instances like lemmy.nz (it was), reddthat also aussie.zone, monyet.cc have similar issue since months ago. I assume the culprit is cogent’s de-peering drama not from lemmy itself.

And those lemmy instances are hosted in APAC.

Also you can check federation issue with this

And if I’m not mistaken our admin has solution regarding the issue a while ago, you may ask Dave.

Yes, and you can join R10C telegram group

You’ll find many tutorials and custom roms

I’m not sure this can be done more easily without root access as many Android services and Gapps are intertwined.

You can try this solution via ADB, this is just an example

pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.app

As for SMS app, I use QKSMS

I just saw this, it’s available on f-droid and play store

Deku SMS is an Android SMS app.

Deku SMS is being developed as a proof-of-concept for secure SMS messaging, SMS image transmission and SMS-Cloud communications.

The timing is probably just coincidence. He probably submitted a bug bounty weeks or months earlier and it just now got included in release notes

The fraudulent orders happened a few years ago, which was alleged recently

The indictment states that the pair attempted to fraudulently obtain over $3 million from Apple through more than two dozen fraudulent orders. For orders that did complete, they obtained around $2.5 million in electronic gift cards and more than $100,000 in “products and services.” The scheme started in December 2018 and continued until at least March 2019.

You are not really wrong, TPM was designed by Trusted Computing Group consisting of big tech companies like M$, IBM, AMD, Intel, Cisco and HP.

fTPM has a bug, don’t know if it’s fixed

Veracrypt also doesn’t recommend using encryption that relies on TPMs

Some encryption programs use TPM to prevent attacks. Will VeraCrypt use it too? No. Those programs use TPM to protect against attacks that require the attacker to have administrator privileges, or physical access to the computer, and the attacker needs you to use the computer after such an access. However, if any of these conditions is met, it is actually impossible to secure the computer (see below) and, therefore, you must stop using it (instead of relying on TPM).

If the attacker has administrator privileges, he can, for example, reset the TPM, capture the content of RAM (containing master keys) or content of files stored on mounted VeraCrypt volumes (decrypted on the fly), which can then be sent to the attacker over the Internet or saved to an unencrypted local drive (from which the attacker might be able to read it later, when he gains physical access to the computer).

Let’s assume the attackers were law enforcers

I do agree with you, the obstacle is that there are many applications that are not available on Linux or they’re not as powerful as on Windows. As for me is MS. Excel, many of my office clients use VBA in Excel spreadsheet to do calculations.

AFAIK, in order to fix outgoing federation issue, you need to restart Lemmy and DB every few hours. This is a temporary solution

I don’t like the idea of other people curating my feed.

I’ll leave fediverse, so many instances in the fediverse are still federated with Threads

“One More Time, One More Chance” by Masayoshi Yamazaki, first time I heard this song was when I watched the anime “5 Centimeters per Second”. Ever since then whenever I hear this song, it reminds so much of my ex.
