I suppose it's possible to build a system that would let you specifically allow a VPN IP to be green-listed on your account, but you'd probably have to allow it by signing in from a known good IP first.

I think it seems like lot of work for something that isn't really private and is still probably vulnerable to exploit.

Abortion rights advocates have been gathering signatures for a ballot measure that would enshrine abortion access up until “fetal viability” in the state’s constitution.

On Monday, the statehouse was thrown into additional disarray after a presentation leaked from the House Republicans’ general counsel, outlining detailed plans to undermine that initiative. The document outraged Democrats who saw it as a deliberate attempt to mislead and confuse voters who want to support abortion rights.

Funny how most conspiracy circles probably wouldn't talk about this even when the plans are open to the public.

The issue is that you don’t want to give some random untrusted process root access.

It's been awhile since I've used anything but Magisk but usually you have to set root permissions per app, or you can get Magisk notification to request access.

A camera and GPS are two very different technologies with distinct capabilities that do not overlap.

In modern x86 CPUs, POPCNT is implemented as part of the SSE4 instruction set. For Intel's chips, it was added as part of SSE4.2 in the original first-generation Core architecture, codenamed Nehalem. In AMD's processors, it's included in SSE4a, first used in Phenom, Athlon, and Sempron CPUs based on the K10 architecture. These architectures date back to 2008 and 2007, respectively.

That effectively bars mid-2000s Intel Core 2 Duo systems and early Athlon 64-era PCs from booting Windows 11 at all, not that they officially supported it in the first place. This means the change should mainly affect retro-computing enthusiasts who spend their days making YouTube videos in the "we installed Windows 11 on a potato, let's see how it runs" genre rather than users of actual systems.

You can check if your CPU has SSE 4.2(Intel) or 4a(AMD) but it sounds like unless you're running some real old stuff you shouldn't have to worry.

Printing like to dead trees?

You could just use the system print dialog instead of Firefox's if that works better for you, I think it's possible to set it as default.

Two Israeli officials said the Israeli war cabinet approved ten days ago the parameters of a new proposal for a hostage deal, which are different from past aspects of deals rejected by Hamas and more forward-leaning than previous Israeli proposals.

This stuff really doesn't happen that quickly.

The push to live services, online DRM, microtransactions, DLC and other such things is because they have identified that there is more money to be made as a 'server operator' than a 'game developer.'

They don't really care about getting paid for the game, they'd rather give it away for free if they can make more money off controlling the servers.

They have sold two 'tiers' of kindles for awhile, the one with ads on the lock screen is discounted.

It's not my favorite thing but iirc the lock screen is supposed to be the only place with ads.
