I’m a bit confused by this.

Does this imply that the human race is drastically more sexually fluid than most species when allowed to be without oppression? Or that the culture gen z has grown up in helps cultivate a more fluid preference?

I grew up in the 80s, so I’m trying to understand, but it’s tough meshing statements like this with my experiences.

Please don’t misunderstand this post as disapproval. Just confusion.

Dad?

:(

I am a contractor for the federal government. When it shuts down, we stop work, and don’t get paid. There are 3 major contract companies that do the IT work for my agency. None of them do what you claim. General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, and SAIC. There are over 2,500 of us that simply do not get paid until work begins again after the shutdown. I’m not sure where you got your information. I have personally been through 3 complete shutdowns in my tenure with 5 different contact companies over 10+ years.

We only THIS YEAR implemented an option for critical services which do not require federal oversight to continue having support staff, but that’s only at a half capacity and not guaranteed.

Contractors don’t get paid. Most government agencies employ as many contractors as feds, if not more.

I wish this was talked about more so people would better realize the actual impact on lives. Contracted workers just get the middle finger. No retro pay whatsoever. And if it lasts long enough, no health insurance either…

Agreed 1000%

Or if page 6 has 1 single post that loads because the rest are on page 7.

That was exactly what I thought too. It sounded as though the crowd loved his rhetoric, giving me the impression they either accept it as truth, or at least makes them feel that their displeasure with progress is validated…

Disheartening. It’s the only word that fits. Fucking disheartening.

Without dealing with side loading, is there a trick to force a pixel 6 to update OTA on Google Fi?

I know in the past you could clear the storage for certain Google services on the device and it would magically find an update that it claimed wasn’t available 10 seconds prior. But I’ve been out of the game for a bit. Do those tricks still work? My Google Fi pixel 6 doesn’t show an update is available and I’m still on 13. I’ve only tried rebooting and trying again so far.

Disappearing scroll bars.

Not for federal contractors, which makes up an enormous percentage of government employment.

Computers, the Internet, and the whole of IT have been moving too fast for regulators to keep up since the 90s. They are slower than a tortoise walking through molasses with a blindfold on.

But what can you expect when those who make regulations over IT still don’t know how to change the time on their VCR?

So the title is that it provides zero practical security, then the article goes on to talk mostly about 1 hypothetically less secure feature… Followed by several practical security use cases for TPM? Virtual smart cards, Window hello… You know certificate private key protections where the user facing impact exists?

What a stupid sensationalist title.

How about something more accurate: TPM provides plenty of excellent security features that, when leveraged properly, provide great additional security, but still isn’t foolproof.
