One more reason to go off grid

Honestly, insider trading laws should be removed since they manipulate markets. If you know things, make moves that are public, that would price things _more_ accurately.

It's easy to know something accurately when you are the one causing it.

Seems like he needed more Op/InfoSec training...

If you wander around the gencon halls this seems less true than people think. The number of innovative things or even kids ish games that are actually pretty interesting for all is _expansive_. The smaller stuff just doesn't get all the marketing splash.

I came back from last year with a few things but one of the hits was a physical area control game with just cards. The 2 play version is a pack of cards.

That’s even worse then. I’ve never bothered to go to cons. But this means that almost none of the games that deserve attention get any air time.

In theory BGG should help here, but I agree there are discoverability issues. Not sure what a better plan would be though, the margins on some of the small games are not that great. Outside of working on distribution deals with big stores, going to cons with a booth and word of mouth ends up being the main way...

Doesn't this miss some of the big things that are being neutered? Cyber research? Chemical processes (eg: explosives), Bio (eg: weaponizing agents).

FWIW You can put a rpi in gadget mode and use nbd kit to mount nfs/smb shares..

Having mobile downloads work in any kind of same way. Honestly just offering a download file with quality drop downs would solve the issue for most people

Secure boot is the first thing that gets disabled on any machine of mine. Why is this a bad thing?

Essentially secure boot is supposed to validate that only properly signed drivers are loaded on system startup. That allows you to block malicious/cheat drivers from being loaded because a signed AV/anticheat driver was loaded before and now it can properly control drivers that are being loaded after it.

Without it you are risking that the malicious driver will be loaded first and then make itself invisible to the later drivers.

Of course there are ways to bypass this too, but it adds a whole other layer of complexity.

Tldr

Secure boot is there so drivers loaded at boot time can trust that nothing was tampered with before they were loaded.

I really do appreciate the sentiment, and in a flippant sense I agree, but if we're being real, the potential for harm to innocents, at least in the short/near term, is far greater if society devolves into vigilante mobs; study the Cultural Revolution if you want a realistic picture of some of the failure modes here. On the other hand, a period of chaos might be beneficial in the long term; that's the accelerationist position. Worth considering, but be careful with that mode of thinking. The ends justifying the means has gotten a great many people killed for ends that never manifested.

Neither are acceptable, so a third way must be found

Data governance compliance is a huge issue for some industries. "The days can't leave the country" will drive AWSs normal customers to demand bespoke regions setup and turned on

Yes, I'm surprised no one else has commented on this. Some regulations require that at least some backups be located in the same country or region.
