I'm still not sure this is a good idea. Workers should simply be paid a reaeonable wage and not have to rely on customers t pay more then advertized.

For how long though? How do you know these are real people?

Encrypted "archives" like zip or similar will not be crackable by quantum computers. They use (if strongly encrypted) a well known stream cypher like AES. Those are not severely impacted by QC.

Only asymmetric crypto like RSA or ECDSA (elliptic curve) are easily cracked by a powerfull QC. These are used in communications like https.

Internet cummunication is fucked with qc. Stuff encrypted with a strong password is not.

Oh no the wires are a mess. Usb3 cables have extra wires and pins for super-speed. IIRC usb-c has said extra pins for usb configuration like pd or displayport alt mode. The wires can also be different. Some can carry more current, most cables are insufficient for really high data rates...

USB-PD is only specified for USB-C. I think they use an extra channel for this configuration, so it's not possible to use PD over A plugs.

There were competing standards like Qualcom quick charge. AFAIK they never went above 20-ish watts on USB-A, while PD is specced at up to 240W.

They have an exclusive deal with Epic. So no Steam/GOG for the forseeable future. They say the game would not have happened wnthout the money from Epic.

I guess the DRM-free version was the best deal they could get...

Imo the most important thing is the separation of what you do. If you're logged in on facebook, you can do that from your public ip. Anything you're not associated with your name you want to use a diffferent browser identity and maybe a different ip.

If you use Torrents or do anything illegal or whistleblowing or similar stuff, use a live linux iso with no persistence and a vpn bought with monero.

They have a demo. Played it with my youngling. It was too much for him.

The game is great - if you like suffering.

The Steam reviews are hilarious.

Soo they added webp and AV1, which aren't that much better then old jpeg, especially with the modern jpeg encoder JpegLi. But JpegXL is out of the question.

Those examples all have a good reason that does not apply here. Browsers already support multiple formats and added a few in the last decade.

While I also noticed my webcam showing up with 3W in powertop and disabling the uvcvideo module removed that entry, it doesn't affect the reported battery discharge rate at all.

I can see the files being opened with lsof and not so with the workaround. But again the discharge rate doesn't change at all ...

To me it seems the power consumption is misreported.

Ich würde SMS/mail ja nicht mal als TOTP bezeichnen...

Ja da hast du recht. Ich war beim Lenkrad.
