Because you did it the wrong way round! DISM first, to have a good image to compare against THEN run sfc to compare your system to that image

That’s not the Chinese models we were talking about…

Headlines called it an approval, and technically it was. But the vote covered one amendment during the first reading of the 2027 finance bill, only 35 of the Assembly’s 577 deputies took part, and the government opposed it. Nothing here is law.

Keep inflating - line must go up exponentially. It has worked for the last months/years, so why change?

Remember when MS said it’s impossible to remove Internet Explorer as it’s vital for the system?

Hey, handsome! Wanna go for a few beers?

Yeah, but either Linux could do the same (maybe not as a default and with a scary warning in the config file if you turn it on) or it’s against the rules and MS should also play by the very same rules.

If someone has physical access to your devices you reach a game over state quite fast usually - so much more options to tamper things than with traditional malware. You can make things harder for them, sure. It’s always a trade off between comfort and security. A PC at home has another thread model than a notebook you carry around all the time and which might get lost/stolen/… easily (NOT saying encrypting your disks is useless!)

Are you sure that you cannot tamper with anything with a password in the UEFI bios? Does the UEFI encrypt and sign everything correctly or could you just exchange/ probe a flash chip on the mainboard and still get access? Or - in case of boot priority: How does your UEFI react if I disconnect all internal drives and only plug a bootable USB drive in? will it happily boot from the only possible (and new) option? Might it save that option for the next time? How does your password work, when I reset the UEFI with the little jumper/button? Etc.

As long it’s an intermediate platform that can milk the sellers and buyers with endless junk fees, count me in!

So as always - MS imposes the rules like Secure Boot and then gets to break them for convenience.

They already require a TPM. They already use it to manage keys. Why not set up a key for bitlocker for that one specific file?! Or at least sign the file header containing the checksum with a key from the TPM?

I do use secure boot, I do dual boot (rarely, but Windows is not yet deleted). My windows partition is not encrypted. Still Windows does allow hibernation. And reports a clean secure boot state afterwards.

Then there’s Secure Boot. With Secure Boot enabled, the Linux kernel runs in lockdown mode, and lockdown blocks hibernation because the saved image on disk isn’t signed and could be tampered with.

I wonder… how does Windows solve that problem?

I despise those companies that filter their domain or company name in the email address at signup and don’t allow you to do that. It’s rare, but some do. That being said - those are usually hardcore and can regularly be defeated by a strategically placed underscore or dash in their tld or company name.

Wait… Do we also count deaths from air pollution because of our energy production/consumption? How many deaths are that over the training and lifetime of an AI model?

So one human live has just been valuated at 20 million dollars?

1? No

2? No

3? No

95% of hackers quit before they crack a secret key!

Not fair - I count 7 possible colours and 5 places to put them. That’s 16.807 combinations. That’s roughly 14 bits of information. That’s too hard! eMudhra only had 8 bits max!!!

If you’re ok to reduce the steam client to only a list of your games and sacrifice some features:
