Hasn’t Sabine been getting in some hot water about promoting academic skepticism and making authoritative claims on fields well outside of her expertise?

TLS handles security for the email sent from your device until it reaches the server, and various HIPAA compliance rules mandates security for that data once it reaches that server. It’s not alarmingly less secure than other HIPAA compliant methods of communication, unless the email provider on your end has poor support for TLS emails.

Editing to include the disclaimer that this is for communications sent from your end. For communications sent from their end, this protection doesn’t necessarily apply (it depends on your email provider at that point, which may not be compliant), so for them to send you protected info via e-mail, they usually ask for your consent first, and usually the e-mail is just a link to a portal where you can access that information more securely.

HIPAA prevents providers from handling your information insecurely, but I don’t believe there is any rule that prevents you from handling your own information insecurely. You are allowed to refuse if you do not feel comfortable with a method of communication of course.

The only reason why consumers like you and me get to enjoy free software on modern PC hardware is because of the expectation of open standards and interoperability set way back when the industry was still growing and computer users gave a shit (or rather, when only the people who gave a shit owned a computer).

Much to the industry giants’ enthusiasm, mobile hardware stacks were developed without this baggage, and so unless something fundamental changes, all mobile devices trying to focus on free software will be doomed to failure by abysmally poor hardware support and aging hand-me-down hardware.

Not just your two android apps, any program on your system that is aware of your waydroid installation could potentially use it as a path to escalate themselves to root, which is generally regarded as a bad outcome. If you don’t care about that kind of thing, or don’t think that could ever happen to you, that’s certainly within your rights to hold such a viewpoint.

Whenever you see a linux phone advertise both security and android app support, you should be wary, since it’s likely waydroid or a waydroid fork, and their design goal of running android in a container instead of a VM has lead to some interesting security decisions.

Since OneUI 8.0.

Well, until we abolish capitalism, that’s the state of things.

I can see that things are the way things are. Accepting it is a different matter.

Unless you feel like Nazis MUST be freely given access to everything too?

To me, the “access” that I am referring to (the interface with which you gain access to a service) and that “access” (your behavior once you have gained access to a service) are different topics. The same distinction can be made with the concern over DoS attacks mentioned earlier in the thread. The user’s behavior of overwhelming a site’s traffic is the root concern, not the interface that the user is connecting with.

How “open” a website is, is up to the owner, and that’s all.

As someone who registered this account on this platform in response to Reddit’s API restrictions, it would be hypocritical of me to accept such a belief.

DoS attacks are already a crime, so of course the need for some kind of solution is clear. But any proposal that gatekeeps the internet and restricts the freedoms with which the user can interact with it is no solution at all. To me, the openness of the web shouldn’t be something that people just consider, or are amenable to. It should be the foundation in which all reasonable proposals should consider as a principle truth.

Nah, that would also mean using Newpipe, YoutubeDL, Revanced, and Tachiyomi would be a crime, and it would only take the re-introduction of WEI to extend that criminalization to the rest of the web ecosystem. It would be extremely shortsighted and foolish of me to cheer on the criminalization of user spoofing and browser automation because of this.

Steam installs a system level background service to avoid UAC prompts. There was a privilege escalation vulnerability exploiting this service disclosed in 2019.

If you have evaluated the statement for its correctness and relevance, then you can just own up to the statement yourself. There is no need to defer responsibility by prefacing it with “I asked [some AI service] and here’s what it said”. That is the point of the article that is being discussed, if you’d like to give it a read sometime.

Do you not see the summary text in your front end, or did you just not read it? This is what it looks like on the default web front end on my instance:

but I imagine it would be hard to get Linux to work well with the surface - especially the touch screen.

There’s a dedicated Linux kernel for Surface devices. Surfaces are your best bet for installing Linux out of any of the Windows tablets.

Needless to say, PS5… normals, or whatever, are going to be even weaker than the ‘somewhere between an rx 6600 and rx 6700’ rough equivalence.

There is no need to speculate or dial anything in, the article above literally compared that exact game side by side with the base model Playstation 5.

Cyberpunk 2077 in the 30fps RT mode on PS5, but a part of the market in the Phantom Liberty expansion definitely has issues - but not as many issues as the RX 6700. The PS5 outperforms is by 45 percent - a remarkable state of affairs that is not matched in performance mode, where the 6700 seems much the same as PlayStation 5.

People are not trying to replicate the Sony’s console hardware layout, they are trying to have the same gaming experience. I’m not sure how I can make it any clearer than pointing out an article which showed that the 6700 has similar performance across 7 separate games to the base Playstation 5. Not the Playstation 5 Pro, the base Playstation 5. If you believe that the tflop numbers are more credible than just running games to see how they perform, then I believe your priorities are misplaced with respect to the end goal of playing video games on this hypothetical PC build.

Short version: The PS5Pro would be a wildly lopsided, nonsensical architecture to try to one to one replicate in a desktop PC… 2 GB system RAM will run lightweight linux os’s, but not a chance in hell you could run Windows 10 or 11 on that.

Fuck, even getting 7 to work with 2GB RAM would be quite a challenge… if not impossible, I think 7 required 4GB RAM minimum?

It’s shared memory, so you would need to guarantee access to 16gb on both ends.

The RX 6600 in the partpicker list is fairly close in terms of GPU performance.

I don’t know how you could arrive at such a conclusion, considering that the base PS5 has been measured to be comparable to the 6700.

2060 super for 300, and then another 200 for a decent processor puts you ahead of a ps5 and for a comparable price.

you’re going to have to really scrunge up for deals in order to get psu, storage, memory, motherboard, and a case for your remaining budget of $0.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zYGmJn here is a mid tier build for 850

This is $150 more expensive and the gpu is half as performant as the reported PS5 pro equivalent.
