Finally a video where creator's face overlaid on top of the content actually contributes value.

Might be another hedge fund that went full-on AI (see Situational Awareness) is not doing great and is trying to liquidate their inventory.

I half expected him to propose renaming the country into United America of America (UAA).

It's perfect for his followers. Doesn't require mental effort and can be correctly pronounced while giving head.

Had to look it up, as this is very interesting. The founders together still maintain 50.1% control of the company through a separate entity.

He has already moved on and achieved SI. For now just once, but that won't stop him from trying again until someone decides that it's time to buy up some other country's domain names in bulk.

Here is another data point.

Muse is literally a beige Labubu with ears cut off and face swapped with a smiley. Labubu is a valuable trademark of Pop Mart.

Don't kick the man so hard. It must be at that point he discovered that ASM is not actually portable across CPU architectures.

That is true, but does Adobe have another Photoshop to build? And in how many hours will that be copied as well?

Real programmers write raw machine code, using a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

Last time I encountered it, I vaguely remember it was around a POST request. It went through and returned a 200, but the page then failed to react and redirect. Must be something weird in site's JavaScript.

> Seriously, do you not understand that this is a service that you would only enable if you need it?

There are broad classes of Linux-powered devices where you don't get to enable or disable components. They come programmed by the manufacturer to lock the user out of meaningfully owning and using the hardware. And if it is possible to alter them, the user will lose functionality like logging into remote services and running apps that self-selected to enable remote attestation. All the things that previously worked.

> It merely allows you to verify that the report came from one of your own machines... And by “you” I really mean large enterprises with tens of thousands of computers...

Following your exact reasoning, any computer manufacturer of a meaningful scale can indeed turn TPM signatures into DRM. All that is left for them to do is to provide some pre-approved kernel versions and updates to them. They will remotely verify integrity of the system and the system is going to verify whatever it is programmed to verify.

It can absolutely do worse things than your example of preventing Netflix piracy. How about checking that all the hardware components are approved by the manufacturer, down to their serial numbers? Apple and John Deere love that. With this tech, others will be empowered to do the same. Even worse, computers that were built independently will become useless for all of the use cases where such remote attestation is required.

There are many, many second-order effects of this technology and not a single socially positive one.

I should qualify that 50% is the figure for new websites I've never used before. They typically belong to smaller non-tech organizations who probably outsource the web work and don't get around to fix things unless they are broken for virtually everyone.

My first reaction is to disable adblock and other extensions, but lately that has not been helping. I blame the lack of testing/support from web developers.
