The technology is there and 100s of peer reviewed studies say the same. You use a combination of over provisioning and storage to mitigate intermittency. Here are here are 89 papers by 37 groups & >210 authors finding 100% renewable grids feasible worldwide w/o nuclear, CCUSP, H2 - t.co/BxtqRUaVbu

Nice to see them suing over something other than emulators tbh.

But sure, ID verification everywhere online makes us all safer right?

πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈOf course weakening encryption is equal to spying on everyone. They aren't just going to weaken it for shits and giggles are they? The suggestion that these powers won't be used or abused for mass intelligence gathering and surveillance of people is preposterous. You can't be that naive, surely?

06.03.2026 19:10 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

There's no way for the government to look at just one person at a time without weakening encryption for everyone, that's correct. What are you going to do, give a less secure vault to people you think might commit a crime in the future?

They're both analogies. Given the amount of lives people live and record on their devices too, seems a pretty apt one to me.

It's called an "analogy".

Again you simply don't understand how this works. Everyone's data is encrypted. There is no "back door" way in. If you add one, you have to add it to everyone's encrypted data, which makes everyone's data vulnerable to spying or simply theft (since you can't just add a back door for the "good" guys.

06.03.2026 18:48 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

A back door in one persons account means a back door in /everyone's/ account, that's how it works. You can't just target bad guys, it doesn't work like that. The govt know this, but push ahead anyway.

06.03.2026 18:32 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

and you think the govt should have a master key to everyone's house too? I mean doesn't mean they're going to use it!

"Look, just because I put a hidden camera in your house didn't mean I was going to use it, stop spreading conspiracy theories..." that's how you sound πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Again, that is not how encryption works. You can't only break encryption on "certain files" any more than you could only unlock "certain parts" of a safe. It's a draconian power to spy on anyone at any time the government chooses.

How's it gone in the past? Windows Media Center remember that? Not super optimistic to be honest but hey looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Hope this means Xbox BC for any Windows PC now too.

They want the ability to break Apple's encryption (and anyone else’s that offered a similar service), you can't just break it for "certain files" that's not how it works, anyone with a basic understanding of encryption will tell you the same. This govt want draconian spying powers and that's a fact.

We already saw widespread abuse of RIPA powers by local councils, you'd be naive to trust any government, let alone the current one.

πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈYou can't break encryption "just for law enforcement" that's not how it works.

Played through this one Christmas, it was a nice little game, graphically good and cosy without being too easy either. Great fit for Switch 2, I'd recommend it.

Andrew Neil lives in a mansion in France that he moved to using EU rules where he doesn't pay any tax in the UK.

And he spends his time moaning about the EU he chooses to live in and the poor state of the UK, which is due to tax dodgers like him.

Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row Customers' photos and documents stored online will no longer be protected by end-to-end encryption.

Not spying on us? This government is demanding companies break encryption, leaving UK internet users exposed to hackers and data thieves just so UK govt can spy, absolutely awful. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Resist β€˜dangerous and socially unacceptable’ age checks for social media, scientists warn Computer scientists are campaigning against the global march toward age checks online.

Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe.
