I’ve worked with Windows environments from 2003 until still today migrating to azure. The biggest skills gap with technicians and engineers administrating Windows is actually networking. This single point connects every single service server and user and yet dns, dhcp, routing and it’s protocols, link layer technologies like vlans interface configurations aggregation and more is so poorly understood that engineers and technicians often significantly mistake problems. Almost all issues happen around network layers 2-4 or layer 8 (the end user).

It doesn’t need to be first but no matter what os or component, networking is core and the single biggest return on investment for systems admin types.

Sure other basic skills are required but just being able to test TCP by telnet or understand each hop, and is the server listening? What process ID is listening? Did someone configure rdp off 3389 and that’s why it doesn’t work? Was the host file edited and that’s why it’s resolving some old ip for this hostname? Why is it going out the wan interface of the router when it should be going over an ipsec tunnel?

All this and more has nothing to do with Windows, and yet, anything that isn’t just user training or show and tell about how to do something, there’s a good chance it requires you to follow the networking layers to make sure behaviour is expected.

You could retire off this pun.

They could be, but I assume say like an apple device won’t install a ccp root authority unconditionally. Huawei and xiamoi probably could be forced, but the browser too, like Chrome, Firefox and safari need to also accept the device certificates as trusted.

But the pressure in Europe would likely be to trade within Europe, you must comply.

It fundamentally destroys the whole trust of PKI if this did go ahead. We just need to hope it does not.

If your browser and device has a state sponsored CA certificate it’s not trivial to bypass. Transparently all certificate traffic could be intercepted by an ISP. Look at Europe already trying. Once someone malicious (to you) is a trusted certificate issuer you no longer can verify either the destination nor the privacy of the content.

Ssl based vpns are also decrypted. And vpns which use public key for identification would no longer be trusted.

A country for example could enact their mandatory certificate authority that they control. Then have ISPs who are in the middle use what was mandatory a trusted CA to act as the certificate issuer for a proxy. This already exists in enterprise, a router or proxy appliance is a mitm to inspect ssl traffic intercepting connections to a website say Google, but instead terminates that connection on itself, and creates a new connection to Google from itself. Since the Google certificate on the client side would be trusted from the proxy, all data would be decrypted on the proxy. to proxy data back to clients without a browser certificate trust issue, they use that already mandated CA that they control to create new certificates for the sites they’re proxying the proxy reencrypts it back to the client with a trusted certificate and browsers accept them.

It’s actually less than theoretical, it’s literally been proposed in Europe. This method is robust and is already what happens in practice in enterprise organisations on company devices with the organisations CA certificate (installed onto organisation computers by policy or at build time). I’ve deployed and maintained this setup on barracuda firewalls, Fortigate firewalls and now Palo alto firewalls.

Right up there battling broadcom for worst.

My kind of guy.

My glasses usually get worn

I usually wear my glasses before the next appointment too.

Perhaps an anime with an ex-cop, ex-yakuza, a corgi, a young hacker, a gambling thief fugitive, and possibly the best intro and music in anime?

I’m trying to figure out the gap in the market you’re trying to fill other than “for steam fan boys it would allow us fans of steam games that already exist in a native place, in a non native place!”

Correct me what is going into it that isn’t already somewhere, and who that appeals to?

Or is this just thought experiment?

What would you suggest they sell on their Android store that users would be so encouraged to install a new store and then what they want?

Steam already has a store on Android, you just can’t play games there because most games on steam either already exist on the native google play store, or aren’t compatible with mobile architectures like Arm64. Most mobiles unlike a arm laptop, have no x86/amd64 emulator which is what those games are compiled as by their developers.

So what’s left?

It’s dangerous making conclusions from big assumptions.

Is the kind of reasoning that leads to bias.

Is that different from this one I remember watching years ago? https://youtu.be/OZzIvl1tbPo

Note I’m not really… Good at math nor really understand it.

I’ll still watch an entertainer and someone good at what they do for entertainment either way.

What the heck is my Tuesday night doing posted here?

If you didn’t learn it only for this project, that cost is already sunk regardless.

Either way the post itself contains the answer for those who haven’t already sunk that cost.

I’m in Australia, generally, we have cooking instructions and microwaves that talk about wattage and time. Never duty cycle.

Eg a sauce packet says 600w 30sec. Press power button until 600w and put it in 30 seconds.

I know there’s duty cycles, you can hear them. I don’t know if that’s how it’s converted as a fraction of the 1500 watt maximum (40% duty cycle = 600w) but you hear it turn on and off most on the defrosting preconfigured buttons.

Either way, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all just the same underneath with regional translations.

Let people enjoy thought experiments as a tangent.

By your definition I should be called a footballer because I play football once a week casually. Ignore the 50 plus hour weeks of my actual job. I got $50 from football as season champions (it’s a gift card, for the bar, at the place I play). I better go update my linkedin!

You’re funny, good one.

I thought this was an onion article.

This sounds unbelievable, like the turning of a ship to avoid an iceberg. It’s an unbelievably light sentencing, showcasing the country’s lack of interest in protecting women’s rights while declaring the intent to do so in the ruling.

If my partner was attacked, lost her hearing and had to attend court multiple times to defend her rights to safety, and the perpetrator got 3 years? I’d be furious.

I know she’d be devastated. The times she felt unsafe already leave such a big impact, let alone a realised attack.

Anyway. I do hope it’s just a positive sign, that all it will take is a bit more time. I want to believe it’s positive. But it’s wild to compare what I’d like to believe as obvious human rights; to not be attacked to the point of disability from an unprovoked human, then believe in the justice system in arrears to punish and (theoretically) prevent.

Anyway, long rant. Processing it because I probably believed Korea was better than that. Not all the humans, just at least the culture and law.
