you can safely use Windows 10 PCs connected to the internet for the next decade.

Do not, absolutely do not, hook an OS that is no longer receiving security updates to the internet. Out-of-date machines can get pwned simply by being on a network or loading a website's ad, no user interaction required. Vulnerabilities are discovered, never patched, and thereafter every script kiddy can get into the old machines with little effort.

Yeah, they are still on the NFA. So all other rules around them apply, such as the application process with the ATF, fingerprinting, etc.

The other commenter mentioned above that this does open legal challenges against this portion of the NFA, however. As gun registries are illegal and if this is no longer a receipt of tax payments...

Suppressors are literally a hearing safety device and noise pollution inhibitor. To respond with a comment like this is baffling.

Well, I'll certainly take the win here.

It's a bone that either party could have thrown gun owners for a long time now. It amazes me it has taken this long.

According to Steam: in the last 3 years there has been 150% growth in Linux users

And according to Pornhub, in 2024 there was a 41% growth in Linux users.

I don't think there is a Steam entry for the game, but you can install it with Lutris, which does the setup for you. I don't actually play the game, so I can't speak much more about it.

And the most “bloatware” are just windows apps

The Windows 11 Pro edition at my work had an entry for Whatsapp in the start menu after a fresh install....

This "Pro" edition had a popup ad for one of Microsoft's games pushed as a notification. Literally a popup ad for a game coming from the Professional edition of Windows. Something my company paid extra for.

I have 0 “ai integration” on my PC.

I'm constantly playing wack-a-mole with Copilot. It's even in Notepad by default..........


Yeah, there is a reason my home PCs are all Linux Mint.

Looking to buy a new home right now, and every time I see one of those I see a multi-month project in my future to remove all that crap. Because I know they aren't going to do it themselves....

I'm just happy I don't have to think about kernel-level anti-cheats now. No way in hell do I want any game to have that much power over my machine.

That's the required amount for it to continue in the UK legal system, correct?

Edit: I noticed the EU one also progressed significantly in the last few days.

It's absolutely sexual harassment.

But, to your question: you can't just say something has underage nudity when the nudity is of an adult model. It's not CSAM.

 

According to an unnamed Israeli security official, speaking to Fox News, the success of the airstrikes that eliminated the IRGC Air Force leadership relied upon tricking those officials into gathering for a meeting, and then keeping them there.

“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the security official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”
