That is known pretty well: The TPM won't release the the volume key unless the correct PIN is presented to the TPM.

The text he wrote makes a lot of sense under that prompt because that prompt provides the frame under which to read it. Knowing the prompt makes it obvious that his general observa…

Just out of curiosity: How exactly do you imagine Germany looked like pre-WW2?

Rest assured, he's also trying that route. That mastodon article links to parliamentary requests for clarification of aforementioned quote. In article 1425 he responds (google tran…

Asking somewhat obscure hard data (like a date) from a LLM is pretty much futile even without knowing anything about LLMs: They are smaller than all the factual knowledge in the wo…

That is kind of doubtful. The video clearly shows a small puff of smoke presumably above the ejection port when he fires the gun for the first time. The Welrod and its modern desce…

"The bottom line is that arsenic is a heavy metal, like lead, and all heavy metals are dangerous and carcinogenic." Gold, iron, tin are are all "heavy metals" and are certainly not…

Mentioned in the article, the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 has an interesting history. It came about due to the work of Harvey Washington Wiley who used healthy volunteers to tes…

> Physical access to the computer meant ... ... game over. That's one well understood fact back then as it is today. Where's the security nightmare?

That was in fact one of the promises of IPv6: Restore the network of peers where every host is in principle a server and a client and communication between peers is unhindered unle…

Weird that you have to do an extra step for IPv6. Other ISPs in Germany have enabled it for every customer at some point. Unless your router asks for IPv6 addresses, nothing really…

That there is no such mechanism can be explained pretty well with this extreme scenario: - Browsers would come with the no tracking signal enabled by default (why wouldn't they?) s…

Golden rice is a solution which works in a specific context by virtue of it being rice. People who will benefit from it already eat rice, know how to grow rice, how to store it and…

Golden rice attempts to solve a real problem: Vitamin A deficiency in many parts of the world, where rice is also a food staple and where the poorest cannot afford a diet with enou…

I don't think that anyone from that community would ever stoop so low. For years now Germany is having an issue with organized trolls who target live streamers with swatting. A liv…

Because pretty much everyone on the internet tells you to disable SELinux instead of trying to understand it. I'm always rolling my eyes when I open some deployment instruction for…

As this particular issue of DNS blocking pertains to Germany: By law (EU Commission Directive 2008/63/EC and national law TKG § 73 Abs 1) the ISP must allow the free choice of rout…

The solutions are just a Google search away and easy to implement. If that stops anyone even slightly motivated I must wonder what they are generally able to achieve with a compute…

Is is from a movie and a novel which the movie was based on. Both go by the title "The Name of the Rose". The author of the novel is Umberto Eco.
