Years ago you needed to send them a check every month. You also mostly got paid with a monthly check.
For some (historic) reason bank transfers are very underutilized in America. I think it gets better though? I don’t know am not 'murican.

Yep. That’s why I stopped distro hopping years ago.
Once set-up it just works™.
The “this would never happen to me” mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.
I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.
Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.
“Of course it can’t be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them.”
I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It’s a huge deal.
The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it’s not only traditional advertising but viral and “astroturfed” advertising.
Not surprising. The Netherlands has way more money per square meter.
You only need to ask yourself why the PSU manufacturer would bother including the second connector on the same cable if it wasn’t ok to use it.
If you use a third party extension/splitter that would be another story but it doesn’t look that way in the diagram.
Only if you buy a shitty PSU. Quality ones have lots of protection circuits so worst case the PC would randomly shut down in high load situations.
Even then if the manufacturer put two connectors on the end of the cable they made sure to put large enough conductors to handle at least the max load of the connectors specifications. Again if it’s not a shitty no name brand. Probably with a good safety factor as well.
It’s not like 300-400W is that much energy in the grand scheme of things, so thicker wires wouldn’t even be expensive.
In my case that would mean that over 70% would be in the DMZ… It would be the main network
Yup it is contrary to normal economic principles, read up on luxury goods and in particular veblen goods and how price finding works there.
In the end humans are not at all times rational. There is no homo economicus. Economics is as much math as it is a social study.
I once moved ~5TB of research data over the internet. It took days and unfortunately it also turned out that the data was junk :/
I can’t resist. I’ve been indoctrinated by my math classes: “A vector is an element of a vector field.”
A bunch of numbers is not immediately a vector. To be a vector you need the defining functions of a vector field also. Like addition and scalar multiplication.
And with crowd strike we have seen how reliable Antivirus is.
I mean if your goal is to normalize this then this is the way to go.
Yea spoilers are broken on lemmy. There is no real standard on how to interpret the markdown. That’s why there are multiple flavors of spoilers that each work on a different set of apps / endpoints.
Edit: For example on eternity there was no spoiler in your post
Well you do need to trust the checksum provided. That is the one you are checking against. Better would be a signature from a key you trust.
In the end a modern torrent is just a hash.
Google takeout is the best gdpr compliant platform of all the big tech giants. Amazon for example lets you wait until the very last day they legally can.
Also they do minimal processing like with the metadata (as others commented) as it is probably how they internally store it and that’s what they need to deliver. The simple fact that you can select what you want to request and not having to download everything about you makes it good in my eyes.
I actually see good faith compliance with the gdpr in the Plattform
