Bitlocker was developed entirely inside MSFT. Upon further review, there is a chance that this is all somewhat normal behaviour. Part of MSFT safeOS to make it convenient to recover bitlocker access, and update windows.

does bitlocker encrypt whole volume, or userdata folders? It’s a performance issue to encrypt anything that doesn’t need to be.

100% certainty of backdoor. Is bitlocker developed outside of MSFT? Would seem to need MSFT cooperation to implement.

It is medical policy in the US/west to lie to husbands on such matters.

This was always a multi $T project, and $1.2T is lowball, but can’t be accused of initially set at $200B. There is 0 chance of 2029 operation. Pretending that is a deadline, would make costs rise astronomically.

Russia and China (and Iran) have hypersonic missiles, and the US does not. Israel/Ukraine are incapable of stopping hypersonic missiles, and have elite US defense systems. Needs hypersonic space based interceptors to deal with hypersonics is simply 2 technology gaps the US must close in absurd timeline.

Does not make sense for alleged cargo. Just wait till summer and use arctic route, or use a train.

The time and donations can be a wash for possible enjoyment of sermon (ok not likely) and community ties/togetherness benefit from membership. The cost is assured loss of soul. Best Church business models are to collect your soul to sell to/serve Satanic evil tyrants instead of teaching truth/humanism. Since Charlemagne, you are not allowed an independent conscience to assess whether your Church/Emperor could be doing evil in the name of your soul (Holy spirit is same matter as divine right to warmongering/genocide of your ruler, and whatever they say in the name of god is axiomatic). But if you do not have the more obvious responsibility for not selling your soul to evil, as path to heaven, then every random person who convinces you the path to heaven is through the sacrifice of virgins or minorities, is a proposition you should consider if there are no social consequences.

Public support for the church may be a very small effort/price to pay. But, contrary to expectations, it is a pledge of demonism that if not necessarily, 90% certainty, damns your soul to any existence of eternity.

Pascal’s wager: It costs me nothing to believe that Jesus believes in a Yahweist god that supports zionist, roman, and all empires afterwards claiming full divine authority for their genocides. Supporting the church’s favorite tyrants must be the path to gaining everlasting rewards if any exist, because that must be what Jesus meant.

9gw if run 24/7 (capacity utilization is actually low on average in US) is 551.88 twh/year. 1500x. Natural gas is not that much cleaner than coal from co2/ghg warming perspective.

I would have considered this over a mini pc. Most ergonomic setup is keyboard and mouse in a drawer. Fairly small USB monitors that are placed at edge of desk is a field of view similar to 30+" at end of desk, and even closer than a laptop monitor. These are also fairly portable, lighter than a smaller tablet. Mini PCs have much more ports including 4 monitor support, that this may not have.

its 9gw of consumption. 19gw of total heat generation.

17gw of heat is both under and over estimate.

3,600 of those industrial-scale generators to power Stratos

Caterpillar 2.5mw generators have maximum efficiency of 45%, and so 19gw is peak thermal power. that is roughly 26 hiroshimas per day.

It’s an over estimate because datacenter cpu/gpu capacity utilization is on average under 10%. It could still produce all that power for export to trap all that heat in a valley.

Georg Levin got somebody new. 2nd Chorus punched up quite innovatively, and better drum track. Nothing taken away or interfering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LOEMSuxYPQ

Harder better (daft punk) – piano intro, more pop format, but also more advanced dance beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwu-m39ek-w

woodstock - csny is a cover of Joni Mitchell

Like all other wars, Taiwan would be a US proxy push to suicide Taiwan. There’s a reason people would be cautious, and as recent as a couple of years ago, 80% of population favoured some version of status quo.

It’s a government alliance/colonial control arrangement. People are the ones being surveyed and have clearer picture. IT would be interesting to see how close Russophobia propagandized EU countries are close to the correct answer.

isn’t 4d a line of cubes? would need 6d for cubes of cubes?

its ok for coastal mediteranean too. He did use it through canals of northern europe to get down to spain.

Styx would like a word.
