Ooooooh, I’ve always wanted a monorail!

They’re probably assuming the chats aren’t encrypted because telegram doesn’t encrypt those. Source

Multi-device End-to-end encrypted chats are a mess

The concept of End-to-End Encryption has no limits for the number of communicating devices. However, if you want to access your end-to-end encrypted chats from multiple devices, you’re facing many technical difficulties, especially when it comes to connecting new devices, loading chat history and restoring backups.

Most of our competitors (notably, Whatsapp and iMessage) solve these problems in ways that make their end-to-end encryption useless (this is a big topic, so requires a separate manual [poster note, that link goes to a ‘manual’ that hasn’t been filled out lol]). To solve them in a secure way, you’d have to sacrifice usability and some of the features you’re used to – the result would never be as fluent and simple as what we offer in Cloud Chats.

Telegram says they don’t encrypt them and tries to imply that people who actually know how to use cryptography failed to solve this problem because they couldn’t solve it with their shitty self rolled ‘encryption’ algo that hasn’t been peer reviewed (unlike the signal protocol)

This paper released last summer makes the argument that quantum computing is in a similar state, and that any of the claimed numbers that were factored by quantum computing above 21 have basically been bullshit. I was listening to Security Now episode 1034 recently and they discussed the paper in reasonably understandable terms, but basically it boils down to factoring big numbers by picking numbers that are disallowed by modern algorithms because they’re binary weak primes.

I love her and am not interested in anybody else while she claims I should just find somebody else while getting very aggressive when the opportunity presents itself. (I obviously don’t partake)

Friend, have you considered that your wife may be asexual and gets nothing from sex? Or potentially is dysphoric about her body/sex? Asking because I have friends like this (and a partner to a much lesser extent).

I would seriously consider taking your wife up on the offer, if for no other reason than to make sure your needs are being met, which is very important. I know you love your wife and don’t see interest in others, but a dead bedroom can generate all kinds of resentment that your kids most definitely will see. My wife’s parents had a relationship that sounded very similar to what you described, and it blew up like 3-5 years ago and we’re still dealing with the aftermath, including mom going bugfuck and developing Munchausen’s.

I would at least find a therapist and discuss it with them. Your needs are important too, and there are ways to get those met without sacrificing the relationship or disrupting things too much for the kids.

While accurate, that’s also misleading. While true, there is not a single American education system, there are certain federal regulations, and the disparate systems tend to all use the same or similar books. The fun part of that is that large states like texas can influence what is(n’t) printed in them, which affects just about all districts. The educational quality received by students across the country is degraded by the politics of one of the largest Republican states.

Yeah, this ends up with one person getting progressively more wasted as the night goes on while the others are barely buzzed. I watched it happen to people many times while I was in college

I used the pullout method for a decade without issue, but that’s just an anecdote. I understand I’m one of the lucky ones. I was a dumb kid, and you really shouldn’t count on being one of the lucky ones that only has a ‘pregnancy scare’ and nothing more.

To your question, if you think you might have gotten cum in and don’t want a kid, get plan b, it’s not worth the risk imo. Kids are a lot of work, and depending on your risk factors, having one can really mess up your body.

Quantum super-pup-sition

Right, but none of that is enshitification or contradicts that 7 was an improvement over vista in most every way. As you stated, there were numerous kernel improvements going to 7, as well as improvements on locking logic, memory access and (let’s not ignore the most obvious) driver support. The two operating systems were very similar, but saying there are no major differences other than aesthetic is not accurate. There were less major differences than xp > vista or 7 > 8, but it was a bit more than just aesthetics.

Also, fuck Server 2016. All my homies hate Server 2016…

Heh, I’m a windows sysadmin, so I use them often enough to know it from memory. I’m almost entirely Linux at home these days as well

Ncpa.cpl > right click > properties and go from there is my main method.

Otherwise, Win+X > G (devmgmt.msc) and look at the network adapter in device manager

Other than the win+x chord, that works on just about every version I have to touch

but if she did, I must have done something awful to deserve it.

I had that happen once with a former friend, and she shut her mouth awfully quick when I responded “yeah, or maybe it was what I was wearing”. Granted, she’s a rape survivor, but it baffles me how she basically used the same dismissal she dealt with against me. At least it helped her realize how stupid she was being, but still, damn.

Vista to 7

enshitification

Lol, lmao even

7 was better than vista in just about every way.

Too bad epic is just trash and lacks basic functions that should be standard for any competent storefront. I used it for a free game once a few years ago and I couldn’t even play the game when my Internet died after I’d already played it.

Nothing like being so mad a shit service giving you a free product that you go and purchase the same product later from a real games store that had basic functionality.

I hate how the settings app is taking over control panel entries to make them worse and show me the original control panel window after going down 3 levels because the stupid fucks can’t design UI for shit.

Thankfully, you can still get to a lot of them if you know the name of the control panel applet.

Yeah… The Iran war is why the bubble will pop… Damned Iran destabilizing the very healthy AI market!!1!

It’s a bondage thing, so the car will lock him in and set itself on fire.

Tell me when he WASN’T like that

Especially when you can just undo your upvote
