Encryption does not ensure data integrity, sigh...

Translator jobs aren't really getting wiped out according to the stats (in the US). Growth is still projected at 2% in the next 10 years. They also have this to say about AI: >Comp…

They've been in a stop work since April 2025 so that buildup is likely all gone or already reallocated. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/rwe-ha...

They'll certainly continue wind projects, just not likely in the US and not with this money.

>RWE said that it will now reinvest the sum into conventional gas projects, including $900m (£669m) in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal project in Louisiana.

If the design is so inflexible that a single requirement shift destroys it, then it wasn't a good design.

This is contingent on the sealing policy including PCRs that would change as a result of booting a different operating system, like PCR 11, which, when booting a UKI, contains thos…

The keys can be indirectly sealed against specific system and software configurations such that this attack is not possible. Additionally, as you noted, using custom secure boot ke…

The disk encryption key(s) isn't typically stored in the TPM, it is sealed by the TPM. A sealed key can only be unsealed if the TPM is in the same state as it was sealed against (s…

Modern process nodes with smaller feature sizes are likely to fare far worse under radiation than the nodes of 25 years ago. Additionally, total dose is only one part of the equati…

Yes, the Xilinx space grade devices are engineered and qualified for radiation tolerance. These are FPGA socs and share no heritage with AMD desktop and server processors.

This is an economic problem due to the poor level of interconnection between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe. It is also something that is actively being worked on. Wi…

To my knowledge neither AMD nor Intel ship any processors that are rad hard or rad tolerant. For aerospace applications this is a very specific type of device which requires specif…

I am a bit confused about your situation. Did you have a stolen card used to make a purchase at ebay that was not under your account? Or did you make a purchase at ebay and have an…
