Oh, just wait when all these AI companies ask for a government bailout... Free market in action...

On some systems you can clear all secure boot keys, including Microsoft's, then provision your own and sign your bootloader or kernel with it. Windows cannot boot from such systems.

This is the MOK (Machine Owner Key), which is part of the shim bootloader, not UEFI secure boot.

The shim bootloader is signed by Microsoft UEFI secure boot keys, so Microsoft is the root of trust there.

On some systems you can delete all Secure Boot keys, and provision your own, then you don't need the shim bootloader and can sign your own bootloader or Linux kernel directly. Windows would not be able to boot on those systems.

You lost sympathy for the people of Ukraine, because their leader does the same as most leaders of other western countries?

Sure, my argument is that not the modality of the sense matters, but the circumstances of that power. The resolution, the filtering and the agency someone has over that experience.

Smell compared to sight would also cause generally less of a brain overload, since smell is low bandwidth compared to sight. So if future sight as a curse might be worse than future smelling.

Doubling the amount of information you sense just in two moments, now and the most likely future in 3 minutes, might be more bearable with smell.

All the same situation would happen with future sight. My point is just that if you assume that future sight has resolved those questions, situation and paradoxes in a beneficial way, because it is a super power, the future smell would be a super power as well, and not a curse...

If future sight has resolved them is a bad way, then it would be a curse, just as any other future sense.

Just imagine always having to see all possible sights three minutes into the future at the same time. There always is a miniscule chance of all air molecules bunching up in the corner of your room or you falling through the floor...

Are you well? Maybe you should sit down, get out of the sun and possible call your local medical emergency number.

That would be the same with future sight... Which people would argue is a super power...

How is smelling smells three minutes into the future a curse?

I mean if it works similar to other time powers like seeing into the future, that future would be preventable.

Smelling the future and acting to it seems like pretty awesome, and three minutes is pretty long... You have enough time to act and escape you death maybe, if you suddenly don't smell anything anymore... Or you can make sure that you only eat the best food available... Since tasting food is mostly about smells... You could become an awesome cook... you just have to deal with the five tongue senses...

Then why aren't they up-front about it? Why are they calling their thing "open source" if it isn't?

If they'd call it "source available" printer, then they are better then closed source alternatives, but if they aren't honest... I'd rather buy from someone that is clearly telling me what they are selling to me, instead of obfuscating or maybe even lying about it.

Nice one :D
