AMD has an equivalent called PSP.

As far as I know framework only has open source embedded controller hardware NOT EUFI.

Either way there isn’t a way to neutralize/disable Intel ME on those machines.

Lmk when they’re corebooted.

Otherwise I’ll stick with system76 or starlabs.

I’ve seen some online powered by ardupilot/inav controllers.

Disposable virtual machines.

Whonix generates a new one at boot by default.

I guess but having DRM free installers does more for ownership than a proprietary (currently) impossible to duplicate disc.

I don’t think physical media is the end-all to physical ownership is all I’m getting at.

Even if you keep your machine offline, many discs have required updates included.

Any one of them could brick your console.

If its not running freedom respecting software and standard hardware, you probably didn’t own it anyways. (Unless you airgap everything and risk assess all new software with a test machine, like the feds.)

Why not replace those two thumbs with two fingers and get an extra joint out of it?

Yeah the supreme court is getting ready to fucking undo assault rifle bans next year, this shit ain’t lasting.

JESSIE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU MOVED THE GOALPOST BY TALKING ABOUT MAC, AFTER I TOLD YOU PROTON FIXES THE WINDOWS DEPENDENCY!?!?

Where’s the feral passion in getting off Microsoft’s tit?

^Those are your words, that’s the goalpost I was responding to. Its been stuck in concrete the entire time.

How delusional are you, you think the answer to fixing this was moving from Steve Ballmers nipple over to Tim Cooks? Obviously the answer is a free, community made OS anyone can install.

Not another fucking corporation.

You can move the goalposts with your words, but I can’t afford to follow with my wallet, and I don’t want to move backwards anyway.

What the fuck does your wallet have to do with this, Linux is free as in freedom and beer.

Also the idea that moving from Mac to Linux is backwards just because your computer doesn’t handhold you is a joke. Convenience over function isn’t an upgrade, its a crutch.

Your original comment was about sucking Microsoft’s teat.

What the fuck does proton on Mac have to do with that?

Did you think the answer to dumping Microsoft was buying a Mac? Lmao.

My devious plan to make the queers thicc as a bricc is going absolutely Milhouse!

Basically every windows games except for a few with kernel level anti-cheat that I wouldn’t install anyways runs fine on proton?

Shit fex is making that work for ARM too…

What fucking rock have you been living under?

Mini-14 ranch rifle: cool and okay

AR15: Evil Dangerous Machine

They both fire the same size bullet just as fast, with the same magazine capacities.

But ones wooden and doesn’t look scary so its not an assault rifle.

As someone who’s had a family member eat their own glock, and another point a handgun at me:

Can we fucking focus on something that matters to most gun violence victims, like red-flag laws and mental health awareness so people like them don’t shoot themselves because they’re so fucking afraid of therapy/being openly emotional they’d rather fucking kill themselves. Or so others with no sense of reality or emotional control can’t access them.

Like assault rifle bans are a waste of political clout for those who actually want to curb gun violence, full stop.

Wanna really fix it? Give us free medical care, UBI, and end the war on drugs. That should give people enough reasons go not fucking shoot eachother.

If mass-shootings are still an issue after killing the societal woe that drives so many to violence, put a moratorium on all gun-related credit card purchases for dudes under 30.

Most school shooters are dudes under 30 buying arsenals on credit card debt they know they won’t have to pay off.

I can hear it now:

“This isn’t an easy instant solution”

It was never going to be, and fuck everyone for acting like we can just put a band-aid on major, inter-connected societal issues.

Here’s hoping for a leftest democratic sweep this November.

Tbf he’s got an awful track record of introducing and voting for things like internet age verification.

Do games even fully come on disc anymore?

Not tryna be a dick but like, haven’t touched a modern console in a bit cuz PC.

Don’t all new games need like a giant day 1 patch to work anyways now?

The only technology developed after 2021 was LLM’s and Stable Diffusion

This is the understanding of a “tech enthusiast”, not someone who’s actually interested in how computers work.

No, I have taste.

Manufacturing their own sticks would onlympush the problem to the price of RAM chips.

The resources it takes to start manufacturing modern RAM chips is such that THE ENTIRE FUCKING NATION OF CHINA is finally getting around to it.

I know Valve is a big company, but that’s a pretty bite to chew and swallow.
