Yes, you can get around it by playing the video in a virtual machine and capturing it from the host. For widevine videos playing in browser it is also as trivial as disabling hardware acceleration from the browser's settings.
Microsoft does sell operating systems (and user data from those operating systems). Those operating systems are typically bundled / installed by default on computers.

It's in their best interests to have everyone using the "latest and greatest" for those features that weren't present (at least to the same extent) in prior versions.
Space debris weighing over 1k pounds reportedly crashes into village in Kenya
Yeah, but pirate groups are getting the original streaming service's compression without re-encoding (so-called "WEB-DL"), even of 4k content. There's a weaker link somewhere.
He seemed upset about today - but I’m not sure where he’s from in the world. Was he upset about the terrorist attack in the US, Ukraine war, the ME, the South Korean airline crash, AI, climate change, american politics, etc etc.

So I picked a relatively benign occurrence of Ohio state winning and jokingly misinterpreted his original comment.
And how are they best convinced? Besides personal benefits like bribes, public opinion (re-election) and consumer habits (company profitability) seem to matter significantly. Please do add the options that I am forgetting.

Most of the people using Microsoft have OEM licence. When people buy new hardware, people are buying a new license of Windows as well.
Yes, it has a ton going on but most of companies I've found using it are using primarily as RDBMS and thus MySQL/Postgres could replace it. Other stuff it did could be replaced by tools more geared towards specific function and most of time, at much lower cost.

Licensing isn't cheap. For anyone wondering, before discount, it's 876/yr per core for Standard and 3288/yr per core for Enterprise. Also note that Standard is limited to 24 cores and 128GB of RAM, if you want to unlock more of that, you must move to Enterprise.
Sorry, I overlooked part of your post earlier - I'm tired. As I previously alluded to, I don't use passkeys due to concerns about their implementation. Whether passkeys are better than TOTP really depends on the individual user's circumstances.

Which service is it? Do they ever use that password?

If I were used to signing in with a passkey, I'd find a password prompt suspicious. While the average person might not, it's also possible they would have forgotten the password entirely. There are other services that force TOTP even with hardware keys enrolled. Technically they can be phished, but it would not be successful in all cases.

Unfortunately, varying behavior and support for multifactor protocols (along with risky reset flows) makes it hard to give blanket recommendations.
It would depend on what else was in the spreadsheet.
Is not like we have a lot of options.

But I tried Firefox forks: LibreWolf, WaterFox and Zen, in that order. I came back to using LibreWolf because it's available in apt which makes it easy to install. I had errors when installing WF on windows, couldn't use it. Zen doesn't support horizontal tabs.

Hell the only reason why I turn on my computer these days is for videogames. I wonder if the decline of the desktop has someone worried at Microsoft.
This sounds like a very good solution but how about eggs? I would imagine that those can survive longer than a month. IIRC I once heard that the eggs would be usually on the underside of your mattress, so you should keep the plastic cover on until after the eggs have hatched and the bugs died. Is that correct?
Lots of interesting ideas, a lot of the same methodology is used by bug bounty hunters/pentesters. It gives me some perspective to build something in my tool.

Yes, I read the article - just venting - I would love to get a Linux or Haiku OS installed on this machine that is able to use the nVidia Quadro K2000M hardware and drive an external monitor configuration - but so far, nothing has worked. This is an older machine sure - and should run just about anything well - i7, 32gb RAM, 1TB SSD. Seems a shame to just junk it because nothing can handle the discrete graphics card except Windows.

If you believe that normies deserve computing freedom (this doesn’t seem to entirely be consensus in the scene), it ought to be a goal to explain the benefits of it in a way that they will understand. Some may still not care, but my experience is that a good part actually does. If nothing else this is good leverage to influence change for one‘s own interest.
This is a much more accurate statement than the hate on the TPM. As the article describes, it is the GPU that has its own separate memory space that it can show on the screen without the CPU being involved at all.

I expect next generation workarounds will involve virtual GPUs.

That only works with the weaker tiers of DRM which are typically only allowed to stream low resolutions. As mentioned in the OP article, the stronger DRM tiers never make the cleartext visible to software and those are mandatory for high quality streaming.

Not to say the stronger tiers never get broken but it's a lot more involved than just recording them with OBS.
The user mapping may be read only, but the kernel will likely use other writable mappings to the same page.

Linux for example maintains a big writable linear mapping of all RAM at all times (on 64-bit), you can corrupt read-only user pages through it all day and never fault. Code running in the kernel generlly uses virtual addresses from that mapping.
> Youtube toxicity is real for me. No matter what I downvote, the same kinds of radicalizing videos make their way through.

I don't have that problem. I think it is because I subscribed to a bunch of nerd channels and those have more influence that watching a few seconds of a random video in the recommender they have.
And this is how we do science? How is that a good basis for scientific reality? Seems there should at least be transparency and oversight, or maybe the whole system is broke: open reviews on web not limited to a small committee sounds better.

Science is about the unknown, building testable models and getting data.

Even an AI review system could help.
You could record multiple exposures and merge them after the fact

Trump won both the electoral and popular votes and won all the swing states.

That's not what "landslide victory" means.

In fact Trump's electoral total was scarcely different from Biden's in 2016, and his popular vote margin was far narrower. Historically speaking, both of these are much closer to dead heats than they are to what are generally considered to be landslide victories (like Clinton's wins in 92-96, and Reagan's in 84-88).

You're only saying it's a "landslide" because Trump keeps saying that in his speeches.

But as usual he's either simply lying, or has no idea what he's talking about.

What advantage does this have over just criminalizing the underlying infringement regardless of DRM?

Also, how does criminalizing it actually help anything, since the difficulty is in the scale of it happening and the difficulty of detecting it rather than the severity of the penalties, and imposing draconian penalties on random kids only turns the public against you?
Microsoft makes Xbox and the Surface. They are one of the largest consumer hardware manufacturers in the space.

Anyways Microsoft was clearly very irritated when everyone wanted to stick with Windows 7, perceiving that Windows 8 was worse in every way, and that Windows 10 wasn't a significant enough upgrade to justify the effort especially considering all the added telemetry they added to the product.

It's very reasonable, given this, that they would seek to force the upgrade cycle to occur where it clearly otherwise might not.
There's no misunderstanding on my part; it's why I said that their ignorance is totally on-brand.

>more like the mainstream has abandoned free software.

Indeed, because free software development is largely driven by ideological purity rather than feature parity. Mainstream users see Free Software people as irrelevant kooks, and thus easy to dismiss, which is why Free Software has so utterly failed as a movement.

>You know, the FSF would probably argue that our computing habits are the peculiar one.

I'm sure flat-earthers feel that my belief that earth is an oblate spheroid is peculiar, too. Of what relevance is that to anyone?

>And unless you can tell me about the code your iPhone runs in detail, they're probably (albeit begrudgingly) correct.

We'll have to agree to disagree. The emacs developers don't even understand how large chunks of emacs work (per emacs-devel), for example. There's too much software out there for one person to keep in their head. This is not a reasonable heuristic.
It doesn't matter at all how out of reach it is for most people. As long as one kid in Russia can do it, the torrent is available for everyone in the world just as soon.

This has already been shown with videogame DRM like Denuvo. It's so hard to crack that only a handful of people know how, and yet they end up racing eachother so eagerly every time a new game comes out that it's usually done in under 24 hours. Unless you can beat "so secure that only a handful of people in the world can crack it" the situation will always be the same.
> I’m also not sure how much time you imagine one spends on setting up CI. In my case it’s just one file with about 20 lines in it, and I usually just copy and paste it from previous projects.

The problem is when it breaks due to some versioning issue or some other easy-in-hindsight problem that saps 3-6 hours of time that could otherwise have been spent talking to users and discovering/building real features. I start to question "did I really need CI in the first place", I think the answer for non-critical apps (e.g. with a small number of users; not healthcare/banking/similar) is usually a hard "no". Other than autonomously running tests what value does CI offer?.. to me, nothing that I can think of. Not saying everyone should denounce it, just that it's very okay to say 'nope, don't need it (yet)'.
While I broadly agree, I think it’s worth pointing out that they have made some compromises for practicality, the inclusion of MP3 software before patents had expired comes to mind.
I think you're confusing js with node. node typically doesn't run on the frontend, but can be used when developing the front but it won't be running on the users browser.
There are a lot of ways to break crowds up into 2 groups. One of them is the people who believe reality is more important vs. people who are convinced that The Narrative is more important. Really interesting debate - the narrative people are usually right and they certainly have the numbers but when the reality people have a point it is rather overwhelming. Narratives cannot overcome economics.

This article seems to be a narrative person's perspective. Once the Communists gave up control of the media, blam. Game over. The realist argument would probably be that reforming to a justice system with some integrity and adopting some policies to score consecutive years of 10% growth was all they needed to keep treading water. People do make reference to their actual real-world experiences when pushing for change in government.

> In fact, in 2006, Gorbachev pinpointed Chernobyl and the resulting media fallout as the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union.

I just struggle to accept that Gorbachev was being intellectually honest with this one. Is that really where he assigned the blame? The USSR had real economic and legal problems. The US had spent decades showing up just how bad Soviet policies were.
> x86 has no TEE

Is Intel ME TEE-enough for DRM?
They hate "losing" money more than they enjoy making it. It's worthwhile to mention that Hollywood was and still is a cartel system.
What's the pricing on it? Everything I see is "contact us".
It's true that known-compromised keys get revoked, but it's possible to avoid them knowing you've compromised a particular device.
Andy's ego is far too big to actually run a company and his focus is entirely on vanity metrics. You can see it in these database reviews where he spends substantial time pining over how much money CompanyX raised and shitting on the bread and butter tools used by those of us who don't have VC money to blow on whatever DBaaS is the current hype.
> It is a power thing. They want to have power over other businesses. DRM laws help them do that.

This is the argument for repealing them, which is why you rarely see them making it out loud.

Instead they come up with some rubbish about making it marginally more difficult (spoiler: it's still easier to pirate stuff than use legal services and the only thing actually preventing everyone from doing it is that some people want to follow the law). So it's good to knock those fake arguments down when you see them and leave no excuse to keep the bad laws that ought to be repealed.

Accepting their actual motivation like it's a legitimate reason to keep those laws is like saying the reason we should keep doing the stuff Snowden revealed is so the intelligence agencies can spy on the elected officials regulating the intelligence agencies.

Modern dedicated cameras have far more dynamic range than any HDR TV in practice. The movies have to be recorded somehow :)
Gorbachev thought Chernobyl was the death knell, but if it hadn’t been that it would have been something else.
Maybe they should add that to the swanky ads they put on TV to try and con you into visiting their, ahem, country.
But doesn't this limit you to 1080p?
Author here. That was definitely not my intent! How can a sea level rise of potentially 1.6 metres (approx 5 feet) within the next 75 years, possibly put you at ease, or sound "very manageable"?!
Ok, so the theory is that Microsoft is after the revenue from Windows 11 licenses? And the way they're achieving this is by forcing people who want to upgrade from Windows 10 to buy a new machine rather than install Windows 11 on their existing machines? If that was the motivation, there's a far more direct option available. Just charge for the upgrade.

For this theory to work, it would have to be that there's a significant population that a) wants to run Windows 11 instead of Windows 10; b) will buy a new computer to do that; c) would not pay the price of an OEM license for a version upgrade.
It's hilarious to imagine the meeting where they finally convinced themselves they could put worthwhile lasting encryption in consumer devices with a 10 year+ installation lifetime.

What a complete and total waste of effort.
As porn has been a driver of technology adoption, like the internet, maybe we'll see a rise in porn manufacturing using AI on the PC (now there's a reason to buy an AI PC)?

Indeed, what stops kids from generating their own porn using these same tools? Do we need age verification on them too?
Put another way, the lifetime wealth—which is mostly notional stock valuations—of the people who founded the businesses that make products and services we use everyday, is less than the actual spending of the federal and state governments in the U.S. in just 12 months.
Oh, come on. This is such a dismissive comment. Not every negative news article is a smear campaign. Sometimes brands you love actually do shitty things. There is nothing patriotic about defending Turkish Airlines.

> It’s surprising to see The New York Times criticize them when there are countless horror stories that could be written about other airlines

Do you mean stories like these ones?

Strategies change over time, including Microsoft's. TPM was previously envisioned as a broader physical storage for secrets, such as virtual smart cards. Microsoft no longer likes virtual smart cards, but TPM is still used for storing data for measured boot attestation. Also, at the time Microsoft was attempting to broaden support for TPM where it is restricted, such as China, which does not allow foreign TPM chips.

The Soviet Union collapsed less than 5 years after Deng retired in 1989 and his economic model had only begun to bear fruit in the mid 80s. “For decades” is a wildly ignorant thing to say.

> deprioritizing glue work is actually smart.

In defense of deprioritizing glue work, engineers can invent an infinite amount of the it, burning time and salary, if you let them.
Many people choose what language to invest time in based on the labor market for that language. Companies shouldn't be so religious about the languages they use, but for small teams they usually pick one language for the entire company so that devs can hop between projects without any linguistic learning curve. Hence why there are so many Node + React companies out there; you hire a bunch of react bootcamp grads and they can quickly start working on backend features as well since they already know javascript.

In an ideal world, you hire engineers who have a breadth of knowledge of programming instead of specializing in one language/framework, and then it doesn't matter if a language is "dead" or not, you just pick the best tool for the job. Unfortunately, there's not enough good engineers to go around for such a strategy. As it stands, I would estimate that most people employed with the title of "Software Engineer" barely know what they're doing
A virtual GPU is useless if it's not provisioned with the relevant key material.
It does make me wonder why we aren't really seeing "guaranteed quality" brands pop up. There's an increasingly large market of consumers who are tired of getting screwed over by literally every single product they buy. Surely there must be a way to run a viable business which is 10-20% more expensive than its competition, but which isn't complete crap and willing to back that up with things like extended warranty?
Managed to complete the CAPTCHA without strafing but it took me 3 tries.

> I re-read this comment and it's embarassing I ever have to write this, because after 15 years of Redis history at such scale and popularity, pretty much everybody that was seriously exposed to Redis knows those stuff. Is tech culture really degraded so much that we have to restate the obvious?

I know you wrote OG and did a lot of Redis but...

Yes, Tech culture is that fucked.

In my past job I was hired semi-specifically to deal with a concern, namely that their use case 'fit well with Kafka' but the latency for their case sucked at least as much as the API pain. (Yes I did something better. No, IDK if folks will ever see it).

Now?

Now I spend my days trying to 'paper-over' patterns that drive me to insanity just trying to make it work from a 'people need to learn why things work on a starship' level [0].

On a real level you didn't fail, Redis has lots of great patterns. On a -practical- level it's a shitshow because you now have lots of folks 'glue-gunning' the Redis API on use cases that probably need tweaking or aren't the right fit at all, alas they all worked off the same example on GH/SO/etc and then did their own "this wasn't even the right way to do this so I'm adding glue, what could possibly go wrong" case.

(That said, Nats has decent stuff for this in form of KV CompareExchange style APIs, and I see the inspiration there, so that's something to feel good about.)
