- Comment on Windows Defender Anti-vitus Bypassed Using Direct Syscalls & XOR Encryption 1 week ago:
They also suggest organizations deploy additional security layers beyond Windows Defender, particularly solutions that can monitor behavior at the kernel level.
Anything like this for the typical home user?
- Comment on What is anti-propaganda? 2 weeks ago:
Propaganda isn’t necessarily lies. It is just biased towards the author’s agenda with the goal to persuade a target demographic. For example: an article blasting Russia for summarily executing their own troops for retreating (or pamphlets being air dropped over their lines) would both be factual and propaganda.
That said, I agree with your sentiment. Facts counter the ‘undesirable propaganda’.

- Comment on YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up. 1 month ago:
You’d think so, but no. You cannot be punished as a juror for voting your conscience. So long as you don’t say “I intentionally lied during voir dire to sabotage due process” they cannot even ask you why you voted the way you did unless you volunteer for questions afterwards.
- Comment on YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up. 1 month ago:
so it’s tricky to nullify without purgery except for very very special cases.
Assuming you meant perjury, it is not tricky in the slightest. You vote your conscience and don’t say something stupid like “I lied during voire dire, nyah ah ahhh!”.

- Comment on How is my bedroom being heated? 1 month ago:
It sounds like my old place. So long as you don’t have a corner unit you’re not being heated. You’re being sheltered from the cold by the surrounding building. The baseboard heaters are only there to touch up if you crack a window or something.

Andreas Bjelland Eriksen, the climate and environment minister, said his job was “not to stop or close down human activity itself”
And whose job is it? FFS a government rep stating “we cannot regulate what people do” is both laudable and cringeworthy.

- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 2 months ago:
they may as well be turning humanoid waste into foodYeah, they are. Waste matter is reclaimed as energy/supplies for food production
It would imply that transporter and replicator technology are, basically, the same thing. I agree. This is supported by replicators and transporters having a very similar special effect on the show.
they’d have to be violating the laws of thermodynamics to get more efficient energy production than matter-to-energy conversion. I don’t follow here. Why do they ‘have’ to be? They could very well be spending more energy but the increased amount is ‘trivial’ from their perspective. This would not violate Thermodynamics.
Ah I think I see the confusion. They are using antimatter for energy creation. Energy to matter for transport or replication is ‘paid’ for by the matter to energy destruction of the og material (whether it be the transported individual, waste matter collected from the crew, equivalent amounts of reactor fuel, or some combination of these) and the excess cost of thermodynamics is paid for by the matter-antimatter reactions in the reactor.
Is the efficiency miraculous? Yes, ofc. Is it breaking thermodynamics? No. It’s easy to see how they are paying for the excess costs with reactor fuel and that is without any hand-wavium of subspace or dilithium crystals being involved.
- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 2 months ago:
IIRC there are 3 different methods seen for food creation in Star Trek.
Protein Resequencers (ST:ENT, ST:TOS)" which presumably take stored amino acids and combined them with supplementary minerals and flavouring into nutritious cubes that look like marshmallows.
Matter Recombinators (ST:TOS): capable of taking stored matter and producing ‘simple’ foodstuffs like drinks, iced cream, slabs of protein similar to chicken breast or steak, etc. I think these were sometimes called replicators but the distinction is the production is done elsewhere and the food delivered in seconds on request.
Replicators (ST:TNG +): I swear they described this as direct energy to matter conversion but I can’t find the source for this. The seemingly ridiculous energy demands this requires can be justified by the fact they use matter+antimatter reactions for energy supply. A cup of water would take a cup of fuel give or take.
Transports it’s been clear from the beginning the matter is being deconstructed into energy and sent to the destination where it is reconstructed using the original’s pattern. The ethics of it are dubious because every time you see someone transport they are being literally killed in front of your eyes and a new copy created elsewhere.

Sort of spoilerish
It’s the latter. The system can alter what he sees/experiences and does not want him to know what is going on yet as it’s too early. Part of why he can understand and speak Ice Elvish. His compatriots would not have seen the glitch and could know the truth if they understood the language. The monsters are real. He is not in a simulation.
