No, only peasants on foot trying to annoy our wheeled overlords and their owners.

This is just another attempt to divert from the actual issue.

No, it's not AI. It's desinformation that is the problem. People who believed and parroted badly spelled bullshit lies from some troll farm will keep doing so. They will not suddenly fall for AI generated propaganda because AI evolved to be that indistinguishable. They already fell for everything long before.

Sure... let's discuss the risks of AI and how we need to regulate it instead of finally acknowledging that the problem is a lack of education and media competence in general.

which was subsequently deleted

...by him.

Only to repeat it again on tv. While crying that he isn't allowed to say what he was just allowed to say.

Actually yes.

Because absolute Freedom of Speech is absolutely stupid.

No country should allow you cry fire at a crowded event without consequences because of free speech.

No country should allow you to lie in court without consequences because of free speech.

No country should allow you to make death threats without consequences because of free speech.

No country should allow you to tell lies in verbal or written contract because of free speech

Because there are certain rules our society is build upon.

Freedom of Speech is a right granted to you by the democratic society and framework of laws. Those intentionally leaving the implicit agreements of democratic society or established law behind (and literal nazis qualify) should lose protection of the same.

It's also no surprise we get this story when journalists at the exact same visit tell the exact opposite. Because only the narrative matters and we have long left reality behind...

For reference: "I was also present at that workshop visit: They did not complain about lack of spare parts and personnel. On several requests for damage patterns, those responsible were even impressed by the robustness of the vehicles."

Also: Isn't it funny how other countries first contacted the German industry for support in spares and repairs but exclusively the German ones are problematic and lack spares? Nothing to do of course with the always same German media wallowing in doom and gloom until they are finally getting rid of the government and get their corrupt buddies back.

Malware for desktop users is the low hanging fruit with little rewards. You just hear about it because it's so rediculous easy.

The real money is on servers, so that's were real money/work is invested to develop malware for much higher gains. How successful are they again?

Simplified version: SSDs or more precisely NAND flash memory has some technical quirks. You can't just overwrite stuff like you do with magnetic hard drives. You have to actually delete things. Also you can usually only delete full physical blocks.

But data rarely fits neatly into physical blocks, so instantly deleting data would mean every time you delete something that partly resides in one block, you would need to save the data in that block you want to keep, wipe the whole thing then rewrite parts of it. That's a lot of unnecessary stress on the hardware and also more work in teh writing and rewriting process.

So SSDs use a similiar approach as old magnetic hard drives. Blocks aren't physical deleted but marked as no longer used. Which works well for hard drives where you can just overwrite data, but for SSDs this is also far from optimal as with every new write you want to commit you have to pre-check if this unused part of a block is already deleted and usuable or not? In the latter case you either need to do the "save some of it, wipe the block, rewrite" oparation you tried to avoid before or simply go on and try to find another actual free block to use. Which decreases performance obviously. And at some time you would have a lot of wasted half-full blocks and would need to organize your data to reclaim these

Enter TRIM... where periodically (usually when the system is idle anyway) the blocks that are marked as deleted are checked if there's still used data in it (those are then copied to a completely free block and the whole block is wiped to free it up for the next write.

In layman's terms it's basically anolog to defragmenting a hard drive in the brackground. When the drive isn't doing anything important it spends time rearranging data only partly using a physical block to wipe the whole thing and also to wipe blocks that are completely marked as deleted to keep everything neat and organized with fully used blocks and wiped blocks available for re-use.

PS: so-called continues TRIM is available also. That will basically do the whole "everytime a part in a block is marked as deleted write the other data to a new block an wipe the whole block"-routine in real-time... but after the regular writes are done to not clog up the system. But periodic TRIM is easier on the drive and usually sufficient.

PPS: TRIM is part of the drive's set of commands. So all the data handling involved doesn't need to be handled by the file system. You just issue the TRIM command to the drive and it handles everything internally.

Because the actual plan was to build-up solar and wind, then phase out nuclear and coal.

But the conservatives intentionally sabotaged solar power and wind (see here and here) and also blocked grid imporvements and extensions to keep their beloved coal alive. After more than a decade we should long be past the point to not need coal anymore (Just look at the graphs and extrapolate the amount of solar and wind without their de facto destruction of the solar (2012) and wind (2016) industry via overregulation), it's still a big chunk of the produced energy.

Nuclear was simply phase out because the existing capacities were rediculous low (~5% of the production top), the shutdown was already decided and planned for years and keeping them few reactors alive would have costed rediculous amounts compared to their value. And completely restarting nuclear basically from scratch makes zero sense today, when you won't need it in 15 years anymore.

This is pure and simple the result of corrupt conservatives pushing coal and their propaganda (killing 100k jobs in solar production to protect 10k coal miners for example). And instead everyone now eats up their propaganda again and blames the current government, not only for the problems but also for a nuclear pahse out that was actually decided and prepared since a decade ago.

Non-Internet analogy:

You communicate via snail mail with someone. Both ends know the address of each other. So does the postal service delivering your mail. Everyone opening your letter can read (and with some work even manipulate) the content. That's HTTP.

Now you do the same, but write in code. Now the addresses are still known to every involved party but the content is secured from being read and thus from being manipulated, too. That's HTTPS.

And now you pay someone to pick up your mail, send it from their own address and also get the answers there that are then delivered back to you. The content is exactly as secure as before. But now you also hide your address from the postal service (that information has the guy you pay extra now though...) and from the one you are communicating with. That's a VPN.

So using a VPN doesn't actually make your communication more secure. It just hides who you are communicating with from your ISP (or the public network you are using). Question here is: do you have reasons to not trust someone with that information and do you trust a VPN provider more for some reason? And it hides your address from the guy you are communicating with (that's the actual benefit of a VPN for some, as this can circumvent network blocks or geo-blocking).

Long story short: Do you want to hide who you are communicating with from the network you are using to access the internet? Then get a VPN. The actual data you send (and receive) is sufficiently secured by HTTPS already.

Funny... how they always -just accidently of course- forget the context in these reports.

Yes, LNG increased from basically nothing (15mil m³) -because they used pipelines- to 22mil m³.

At the same time pipeline gas was shut down with capacities going to the hundered (just Nordstream 1 alone had a capacity of 50mil m³.

Also it's exactly the countries not getting pipeline gas before that are now buying LNG because it got cheap as fuck (the biggest importer is Spain with ~8mil m³ alone) as Russia is struggling to sell it at all.

Wow... Where have I read that lie before? Oh, yeah. 20 times in this thread already, because you all get your alternative reality sppon-fed by the same lobbyists.

Actual reality:

The "massive" amount of nuclear shut down

The "coal" that replace nuclear

The actual historic low of coal use

Okay, we won't tell them...

And we also won't tell you that Arch actually is one in the category of "it just works", so you can keep parroting memes.
