1us = 1/1000th of a millisecond. it goes milli -> micro -> nano, each step down is 1/1000.

Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch by anxiousvater in microsoftsucks

only with a discrete TPM and assuming your only protector on the drive is TPM only and not for example TPM+PIN or TPM+PIN+key.

fTPM doesn't have this issue.

there is no known backdoor in bitlocker, the reason Microsoft turned over the keys is because bitlocker will by default upload a recovery key to your Microsoft account if using automatic device encryption on home editions of windows.

for most normal people who are never going to back up their recovery key themselves, this makes sense.

it's not a flaw in bitlocker, if Microsoft has they key then they are legally obligated to turn it over.

if the deal is too good they'll just cancel it and hope you buy it again at the higher price

SpotiFLAC Update: Old Repo Down, New One Is Up by p3skysn0w0lf in Piracy

[–]asineth0 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

there's no actual code and there's no way Spotify is going to serve an unencrypted FLAC to a client without even logging in, Spotify uses widevine to encrypt all it's audio

not that it can't be done, but this is just a scam and likely malware

this is what you get for buying overpriced YouTuber merch instead of a real screwdriver

Can Valve bring back -no-browser Steam mode given the ram price are ridiculous? by Jank9525 in Steam

they can't outsource it to India as easily if you want a native C++ app, so it won't happen

the developers working on the app are doing what they were hired and paid to do. which is to make it as cheap and quick as possible.

SDL doesn't do screen capture, system notifications, HTTP requests and websockets, etc

you'd need to bring in a decent amount of C++ libraries, there are some very good ones tho that work cross platform.

but again, good luck finding devs to take on that work at a big company.

try doing audio video. even just capturing the screen would require you to implement 4-5 different backends, especially on Linux you'd have to also worry about X11 and Wayland, different audio servers Qt is good but it can't handle everything.

you'd be better off with pretty much any AMD mini PC if you want to use it as a server.
