  1. They use that as an excuse for everything An excuse that frankly I am sick of hearing. “Think of the children”, is such a vague and overly broad justification, for me to give up my own civil rights in order to be able for our society to prosecute individuals that might exploit children. There are plenty of laws that can be used to prosecute those sick and deplorable individuals that might exploit children that don’t involve in my civil rights being violated.

  7. Trump is rightfully banned, the bs Fauci narrative your pushing isn't a valid reason to ban him, but IMO a great reason to warn/ban you. Please leave it.

  10. No it doesn't, it cites an older 1953 Supreme Court ruling that protected journalists from having to give up phone numbers of sources. "Journalists", "journalist sources" and "readers" are not the same people, you know. The FBI's subpoena was targeting readers, not sources or journalists. I doubt any court would protect readers against such a subpoena based on a case that was not about readers. I do, however, expect the court to quash the subpoena. The "phone number" part of the subpoena was questionable. How does USA Today even get the phone number? I suppose their app may extract it from the readers' phones. Edit: Your Politico and The Washington Post sources do not mention "phone numbers" at all. Page 10 of the linked subpoena (https://storage.courtlistener....scourts.dcd.231951.1.1.pdf) outlines the scope of information requested, and includes aspects of the mobile device used to access the article (should the article have been accessed via mobile device). The court protects the "journalists" and their direct "sources" (insofar as the journalists choose to extend such protections) which is why the argument was for the FBI to first ask the journalists for information disclosure, should it be available. The "sources" and "readers" may overlap, so this might actually be grey area (whilst under some protections as informant, one may not be under protections for unrelated or different types of crimes.) So the leaker (who might also be a cyberhacker) might be both a source for information for publication (protected First Amendment by the press) AND a federal crimes suspect for cyber-hacking (not protected because they're adversaries to the gov't). Maybe there's a financial trail between parties, so somebody had to read the officially-published article to make sure the info was properly published... and that's probably the device the FBI is seeking to validate. As stated, their procedures are to ask the journalists first to get their response on record relating to this case. The "issue" is both the effort to silence USA Today from making this public, and of the federal regulatory/legislative technicality that USA Today may be legally obligated to disclose their readers' data even when their readers ARE their journalist sources**. ** This is why this is a story. Everything else is distraction to the point and a lesson to all cybercriminals of the future: do not consume the channels you help populate because you'd get outed THAT way.

  11. Notification area icons randomly disappear on primary display

    I just uninstalled it, restarted the system, reinstalled Display Fusion and suddenly the notification area is back, so it must have been KB5003214 causing the issue.

  12. VideoProc v4.2 (worth $78.90) is free to download until next Tuesday

    So I installed it sandboxed with Sandboxie. Registered it. Zipped up sandbox .. installed Sandboxie on another computer. Extracted the sandbox to that computer and ran the app. When it opened it was already activated. No activation needed on the other machine Then I installed the app from outside the sandbox on that machine and it prompted me to reigster. I used the same email address and code I used to activate it on the other machine. it activated just fine. Then I installed it on my other computer outside the sandbox and it wanted me to register it. So I copied the contents of appdata\roaming\videoproc from the sandbox to the same location outside the sandbox and it opened up and was already activated. So it looks like it stores the activation information in AppData\Roaming\VideoProc. So back that directory up after registration and you will probably be able to use it on other machines or after a reinstallation. I'd like to try to activate it after June 17, 2021. Once it fails I would like to restore that folder and see if it still says it's activated.

  15. Are you getting vaccinated, or have been?

    Had my second dose of AZ on Thursday. Felt rough after both doses, although more fatigue than anything else for the 2nd. Was fine after a good night's sleep, Does it make me more confident about going out where there are lots of people? To be honest, not really.

  16. Are you getting vaccinated, or have been?

    Changed my result to have been vaccinated. I was expecting the UK government to announce under 30's could get the vaccine at the start of last week or the end of the week before but the announcement never came, that, coupled with growing case numbers and me learning that other countries allowed people to claim leftovers, I decided to get in touch with my local GP surgery and asked if there was a leftovers list. They never explicitly said yes but they did take my details, two days later the local vaccination centre called me saying they had some leftover Pfizers and I was free to come for my jab but I'd have to hurry because they were closed now. So darted down there on my bike, made a mess of the consent form thanks to that energetic bike ride and then got the vaccine (I didn't even go dizzy!). The next day I had a sore arm but that has gone now. Next one was scheduled for eight weeks later.

  17. Why’s that? Because it serves no purpose. Every website on the planet tracks what IP addresses access the site. It's critically important for a lot of things, including security of the site, to know who's connecting to your servers.

  18. Not really. If your VPN company happens to have an exploitable system or is sitting on a backbone that these agencies already have tapped, they your VPN is essentially nil Don't buy a VPN from an american company then As the leaked files from years ago showed, they have taps in far greater places than just america... and that was a decade ago Yes, a decade ago. And I would expect this problem of the US government illegally mining data in America and the world to only get worse with time, not better, unless there's a massive massive overhaul to the US federal government which isn't happening in the foreseeable future.

    Well the other party did not lead people to storm capital and called election process a hoax cause they loose, nor did they spread misinformation about pandemic (as a leader you can't just downplay life threatening issues for your own gain) ... what utopia do you live in? they created hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across of the entire country. destroyed federal buildings, took parts of town under crontrol... but that is all fine.. nothing happened..

  23. Windows 11 (or whatever it's going to be called) will be a major update to Windows 10, but it'll still be mostly the same under the hood. I doubt if they will intimate the ISVs before announcing it. Also, it must be noted that the version will go through Insider testing rings before launching later this year, so ISV won't be informed yet. Hello, Software which performs low-level access (direct writes to hardware) typically needs to be updated when a major update to Windows comes out. Examples of this include security software (antivirus, encryption, firewall, HIPS…), backup software (especially if it writes to optical media or tape), utility software (defragmentation and disk optimization immediately comes to mind), and occasionally device drivers from IHVs like AMD, Intel and Nvidia. There are also game developers, including companies that support game developers with specialized tools like anti-cheat and copy protection, are a part of that ecosystem as well. In the case of day one compatibility, Microsoft typically works with the folks who develop these types of software, as well as their largest enterprise customers, to ensure that all of that third-party code works day the new update becomes available. If not a single one of these companies is coming forward to mention that their products will be compatible with Sun Valley, then it is likely the changes are not likely going to be that radical.

  24. The thing that would bother me about this design, versus my current watch, is the FLAT face. My current watch (gear 3 frontier) has a recessed display, which is harder to smack the display against something, causing it to scratch.

  27. Galaxy S21 FE design leaked with several colors on the way

    Honestly, if the FE edition replaces the Note series on the regular, I'd be less appauled by Samsung's prices. 20 FE had no (or at least, fewer) gimmicks and was actually a good phone for the price - too bad I already went with Xiaomi which I grow annoyed with more and more.

  29. The largest part of the magic in DLSS comes from the data it's fed by the game engine. Motion vector data is the secret ingredient - it lets the scaler collect data from prior frames and reintegrate it into the current frame precisely despite having changed location, and reduces smearing and grain artifacts that other temporal scalers suffer from significantly. If FSR collects this too, it has a chance at being competitive in quality, but there'll always be a tradeoff without tensor cores (ie: otherwise-unused silicon) around to handle much of the performance hit. Without motion vector data, it's just another temporal scaler. That's not a terrible thing to have, but it would leave DLSS standing head and shoulders above by most, if not all metrics.

    I must've missed when Fauci was President of the United States? Furthermore, whatever "lies" or misleading statements made by Fauci during the pandemic pales in comparison to the 30,000+ lies told over 4 years by Trump, and the hundreds of lies told from November 2020 until... well, he's still doing it.

  34. And when your web provider shuts you down for "hate speech"? What will you do then? To directly answer your question. I'd just make another website. To further answer your retort; You can host your website with any web provider around the world, you can buy a domain name from any of the registrars. You don't have to use a host provider that doesn't allow free speech, you don't have to host your domain in a country that'll seize it. In the case of Nigeria there are plenty of hosts located in there, and you can buy a .ng TLD from the Nigerian government. The Nigerian government has it's own network infrastructure, they host their own gov.ng websites already. No one is going to shut that down. And when the DNS provider cuts you off? When your ISP cuts you off?

  37. Nah, it's other way around. These social medias are perfect example of Socialism. You get it for free, they control the flow of the information, you have almost no say how it works, if they don't like something you express, they will ban you, shut you, delete you. They set their own terms of conditions, if you don't agree, get lost. Meanwhile, democratic govts are elected govts, they are answerable to the people and leadership can be changed by voting them out if they try to pull something. And when you complain you get morons (like here) defending it "buh muh private corporation"

  41. Going to have to test it out on different cards to see. I figure it'll work best on the newer RDNA 2 hardware for sure. And while it can run on the older stuff it'll probably be subpar. It isn't like DLSS, but then it being more of a software based upscaling feature means it can be added to games with little effort. Adding DLSS to your game isn't as simple as just adding some code.
