Well, if you need something that a simple tailor can help you with… like high-stakes negotiation with foreign governments, data exfiltration, intelligence analysis, or other such trivial tasks that don’t require contacts or secret knowledge, he’s the man for you!
I don’t know about you people, but personally, I always write programs at work by removing boards from my computer and plugging them in a different order.
Hum… I have a 75MJ varistor on each phase of the main wiring of my house. Those are not fuses (because fuses don’t have a total energy specification) but I can certainly get a few more for the Enterprise it they want.
Well, it really wasn’t. You’d program by punching the cards, and then insert them into the computer. If they brought the boards from a terminal (or replicator), and switched the old ones to the new ones, the entire thing would make sense.
It’s a bit similar to how people programed analogical computers at the 50s. But it’s actually a lot like programing old sewing machines. The thing those have in common is that their programs were always an order of magnitude smaller than this comment.
They are 35 years model, with a measurable age of 35 years. But the researchers actually got brand new products, of current models from the store yesterday.
You don’t have to go very far. There’s an episode on Discovery where Pike just goes and say something like “Enough with the problems with holograms! From now on the Enterprise will have only flat screens!”
As soon as everybody is speaking it, the word itself is already meaningless and the context has all the information. So, yeah, ignoring it is quite efficient.
Anyway, I suspect that when you notice those things happening, it already means that you are old.
Hum… Either the brain bugs that started being created weeks prior discovered some mechanism they have been using to bombard the Earth for decades… Or the military speakerheads and the news that lie about literally every single thing we see happening lied about something else.
I’m finding it very funny, because I though it was incredibly obvious on the movie, and nobody would ever disagree.
Indeed, the movie is way too busy, so it’s easy to miss that there are no insects on space, or that the bugs weren’t even aware they were been systematically attacked until “now”. But it’s one of those things that I expected to be completely obvious once pointed out. It’s even more obvious than what you are narrating from the book, because on the movie Earth has been receiving those rocks for decades.
I imagine people missing the point is part of the point of it. It’s like that gorilla video.
The entire computer is throttled into a power consumption you can sink through air coolers. So, unless you are overclocking something, it should always be enough. That will hold until companies start to design the components specifically for water cooling.
But the people claiming it can be quieter or thinner are quite right.
There are some speculations about TPM uncontrollably sending data to manufacturer servers if a laptop has any Internet connection. Others say it’s not intended/capable of that, like this answer for example (which is 5 years old though)....
You are looking at the wrong place. The TPM is a very standard piece of hardware, that shouldn’t even need firmware (it would completely cancel the entire point of it). It enables a whole lot of shit, but it isn’t the thing that does the shit.
Now, you can go look at the always-on network enabled uncontrollable management unity that exists inside your computer’s processor… Intel pinky swears they can’t access them in any way and will only activate them if you pay extra¹; AMD AFAIK doesn’t even try to say anything.
1 - Makes sense to you? Well, how do they activate it if they can’t access it?
But if Windows is sending all of your data, including stored files and passwords for some third party like its TOS says it can, than that’s Windows breaching your privacy. Or if the remote management hardware that comes with every computer is allowing some third party to access it with more capabilities than even you have, like they are normally designed, than that’s your CPU’s manufacturer breaching your privacy (but those are supposed to be turned off).

How bad is TPM on a laptop for privacy?
