Have to agree here, you can buy a Samsung branded 4TB USB-C drive that fits in your wallet.

I doubt the copy the theater is receiving is any higher quality than a Blu-ray release though, so aside from George Lucas style editing there seems to be little value in transporting the encrypted copy unless you first have a decryption method.

Agreed. It's like, c'mon guys, we're all friends here can we agree that we need to do better next time?

My understanding is that they withheld evidence and fought a court order to turn it over. It wasn't an accident.

More likely avoiding a smackdown from the EU

I don't know if they're conflating rendering with display or just assuming those GPU are at max TDP 24/7, but they're way off on actual energy consumption.

There seems to be a lot of recent articles attacking datacenters, particularly those involved in LLM "ai" work. This feels like one of those articles.

I'm not saying we shouldn't keep them in check, but I also don't like being manipulated by "grass roots initiative" marketing companies, particularly on Lemmy.

Using the max power use of a video card to math this is ridiculous. It's not at full TDP pushing this content. They aren't playing max FPS 3D raytraced gaming, they're playing videos.

Under normal circumstances I wouldn't expect any privacy between processes on a desktop OS under the same UID.

If you use Chrome's password manager on Windows your password database is unlocked with your password upon login and is available to every process you run.

There's only so much you can do, as an app, to protect against OS deficiencies.

The desktop app on Windows is a sacrifice of security for convenience.

TeamViewer sold out long ago, formed a new company (AnyDeak), fooled us all, sold out again, and there's still people trying to use the same business plan.

There's zero money being spent on security, this is pure profit extraction.

Texas already owns all its oil, including ocean mineral rights. This was part of the terms of statehood.

They were allowed to keep their unallocated lands and mineral rights in order to pay off their debts and become a state, rather than the United States assuming the debt.

This turned out to be a huge financial boon for the state and continues to be.

I don't understand how people don't see this for what it is. It's a political response to drag queen story time and spicy books at the school library.

Who knows where it will end, I'd prefer it if everyone stopped using children to further their agenda.

The states probably need to opt in for state income tax filing or data. Red states typically don't have income taxes and wouldn't need this to begin with.
