Yep, that position is either kept open for a specific candidate (probably already working at the company), or it's only there for legal requirements...

If you want a NAS specific case, check on AliExpress - a bunch of $200-300 options with SATA backplanes, EATX support, and your typical 8-16 front-loaded disk bay with disk caddies.

It's not even just games apparently. Any activity with friends that doesn't involve the consumption of mind altering legal substances (yes, coffee IS a mild altering substance), is apparently off the menu.

And it's not even her refusal to do these activities that's mind boggling, but the fact that she thinks it's okay to enforce it. Honey... you're free to ruin your social connections with your stubbornness, but wanting to legislate fun out of existence just makes you a cunt.

There's one upside to this:

From a legal standpoint, if regular people can be de-legalised, so can be billionaires.

Anyone who amasses more than 1bn should have their citizenship revoked, assets and properties confiscated, and dropped onto an all inclusive resort island where all their needs are met, for life. Put 1% of their wealth aside in a fund, the interest on that fund would easily cover all operations regarding the island, the rest, use it to support those most in need.

Well, that's kind of the problem of a fully open OS where the system administrator (root) can fine-tune everything.

The (technical) purpose of DRM is to ensure the stream goes through a certified channel. This means encryption on the wire, as well as ensuring that the image data, from the point of decryption to the point of display, isn't intercepted.

For this, the DRM module needs absolute, un-overridable control over the process. With root access, one can easily load a modified GPU driver that funnels the decoded image data not just to the output display, but to a separate buffer (a file). Or not even go that far but simply snatch the encryption key from memory and decrypt the streamed media directly. The list goes on.

Yep.

I can see his reasoning, wanting to reduce polarisation in the nation.

But one thing we've learned from WW2 is that Nazis cannot be appeased. They cannot be depolarised because their existence hinges on a polarised people, to be able to create new enemies. Because at the end of the day, Nazis aren't FOR anything. Their current argument might be cloaked in them being for national security, for better life (for a select few), and so on; but in reality, they're defined by what they're against.

People coming together and debating policy, coming to a compromise, finding a solution that benefits everyone, is antithetical to fascism.

It's quite simple - by allowing this type of genAI to take hold and have no guardrails, any and all future allegations against the Epstein class can be dismissed with a "fake news, that's AI" claim.

And since AI is getting better and better at generating images while getting worse and worse at recognising AI generated content...
