Maybe not once quantum computers become more common.

Our current encryption methods can be represented as wave functions. This allows a sufficiently large quantum computer to solve for the keys in very little time.

There are new algorithms being developed that should defend against this. So you may still be correct.

Post Quantum Cryptography

Found this. I think it’s pretty new.

Edit: the app link, not search results.

Do someone else’s point. HP does have a custom BIOS they develop themselves.

Not sure about GPUs and desktops, but they did lock out all but specific wireless adapters in the laptops. This was done in the custom BIOS.

Sign into it at least once a year.

The device manufacturers have to send the driver to Microsoft to get them signed. Windows needs some sort of drivers available out of the box. Might as well keep them up to date with the signed versions.

It’s been this way for some device types for at least 20 years.

I think a more important difference is that Apple isn’t involved in the transfer of the card from one person to another.

It sounds like Roblox is involved in each transfer and could cut off access to the third party site once they find out it is actually a gambling site.

I think the didn’t have a full time HR until recently.

Phones are not like computers (unfortunately).

Others mentioned, but I wanted to point this out more specifically. Each phone model is unique and will require a different ROM. Generic instructions won’t work. Sometimes different ROMs are even need for carrier specific versions of the same model.

In the very late 90s or early 2000s there was a leaked “October papers” or something like that. It detailed Microsoft’s plan to move to Windows as a service. It seems like it is taking longer than they thought, but they’ve been moving this way for a long time.

I wish I kept a copy or was better at searching the old internet…

Starfield? 😀

Windows 10’s end of support is October 2025. I wouldn’t use an OS on the internet after security updates stop.

Edge has vertical tabs!

Th Galaxy S5 and the Active versions before it were waterproof and had a removable back to get to the replaceable battery pack.

As an added bonus, the back had a rough, soft plastic surface so you could actually hold onto it without a case.

It was early in wireless charging, but the back could be replaced with one that haf the charging coil.

Same but different. The site sold out and made some changes that were good for investors, but bad for users. It also happened to slashdot. When that went bad, we all went to digg.

Looking back, I’m surprised reddit lasted as long as it did. Digg and slashdot still exist, but aren’t what they were in their heyday. I’m sure reddit will continue in some form.
