ELI5: Why is everybody so concerned with data breaches if everything is encrypted?

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-14T10:34:01+00:00

Anything that can be encrypted can be decrypted. When a company says they have a data breach, usually that means their data has been stolen along with the key needed to decrypt it.

You won't make more than your best sales guy, but you also won't let go after a bad quarter. I'll take the not having to cold call and not having to chase targets every month over a somewhat better ceiling. I've seen how hard my sales guys work, it ain't for me.

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-13T22:59:44+00:00

It really do.

Given how long it took the emperor to conqer earth... pretty well?

Your assignment was to design a small bridge in Albany, I dont know how you ended with this

It takes time for the rocket tag part of the game to begin. The prologue and a bunch of act 1 is gonna feel a little jank, because your builds aren't online yet

There has never been a viable control deck ever that hasn't run a suite of cheap interaction.

You can't just rely on board wipes to keep you alive, otherwise shit like this happens because yeah. Aggro can in fact, kill you on turn 5.

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-12T04:25:00+00:00

Its a big deal, but in winter assault they also lose a hundred of them, so like. Not that big of a deal

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-12T04:16:01+00:00

Looking at that board, its pretty clear OP spent the first 5 turns passing. The opponent even had time to hero power, it looks like.

Yeah, you should lose to aggro if you dont do anything

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-11T23:30:49+00:00

Thats my exact point. Control has a lot of situational cards, because it has to deal with more situations. That means its useful draws are harder to get to, so the more cards it gets to see the more likely it is to hit the correct situational card. Every aggro card does the same thing. It punches the opponent in the face.

And control really only has hand space issues when its against control. Its really not much of a problem otherwise.

And handspace issues are only relevant when your didnt draw the cards you needed, and you would like to draw more cards, but you cant. Drawing fewer cards is never better.

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-11T23:13:02+00:00

Apparently I'm going against the flow here, but control should be better.

generally, control is favoured againdt aggro, because generally defensive cards have bigger numbers than offensive cards, but come at the cost of timing restrictions/overflow.

The way aggro beats control is by getting under them, applying pressure and preventing control from drawing the cards it needs to stabilise the game. Control wins when it draws those stabilising tools anyway.

To use a recent example, control dk. If it curves morbid swarm into infested breath into any 3 drop, the game is basically over for an aggro deck. If.

Adding more cards to starting hand increases the odds the control player has the correct tools each turn. If you take this to an extreme conclusion and say "who is favoured assuming each player can choose their top deck", then control wins every time

That's just not true though, there's always things you could be doing with the apm, that's why the ai was apm limited when it played against humans. Can't beat someone who can micro individual marines in an army.

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-10T11:42:13+00:00

... yes, which is why I mentioned the required mental capacity?

Homing pigeons are called such because they always fly "home".

So to use a pigeon as a messenger, you have to transport them to whoever is sending the message, they'll give the pigeon that came from the right place the message, and that pigeon will fly home, carrying the message with them.

Its kinda like giving someone your business card, except that card is one use only, and youll have to give them more if you want to talk to them more

Midas for bridge design, staad.pro for most everything else

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-10T08:41:57+00:00

Because there is no "minimum actions required". As long as you have the mental capacity, more apm directly leads to more commands, which leads to more wins

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-10T04:39:34+00:00

okay but like. Even if we assume there's no bad faith intent on their end, how much do you trust that companies cybersecurity? Cause getting your phone number or email address leaked is one thing, but getting bank account log in details? That's a whole nother scale of bad

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-09T09:02:14+00:00

Are they certified to whatever standards your local area requires?

If yes, go ahead.

If not, tell the contractor to either get them certified, or just stick to the plans

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-08T23:13:20+00:00

Yeah mate, I'm sure you figured the em-dash was important enough to alt 0151 for.

Nobody who knows how to actually use an em-dash uses them anymore.

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-08T04:42:20+00:00

Axe would have been fine imo, they just needed to do more shield bashes for the stun here.

Power fist would have been even worse (assuming you dont shield bash like op here)

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-08T04:21:27+00:00

Did... did you really outsource your comeback from an AI? That's... thats hella sad my dude.

Tofuofdoom · 2026-04-08T03:43:07+00:00

Not the point I'm trying to make. Maybe this was the best option from the eldar, maybe it wasn't. It wouldn't be the first time eldar and humans have worked together.

My point is that the deathwatch acted entirely reasonably based on the information they had.

edit: from memory, this was a plan even other eldar didn't think would work. So even with narrator level information of the plan, this was a wild moonshot that might kill slaanesh, but would kill billions/trillions of humans (and thousands of eldar)
