German also has a few other interesting ones that refer to actually real places.

• Buxtehude (small town near Hamburg)
• Timbuktu (ancient town in the Sahara)
• Pampa (grassland in agentinia)

The last one makes historical sence since many Germans migrated to that region of south America in the 1800, and then more Germans got replaced in the soviet union and moved there and then many Nazis fled there after the surrender. So its just a synonym for a place very far away. Not sure where the rest come from

I hate what AI has done. This is cute and I want to like it but I just can not shake the feeling that it is AI. Even with the linked author. There are so many wierd things with perspective in this image

Sricker

Its not about the things depicted but about the art style. It is primarily uses by giant corporations to appear "hip" and "modern". You will see it on the PowerPoint slides talking about the company values and his nice they are as a workplace. You see it when you open Microsoft teams and it tells you about "the new features to connect with your team".

It is hollow and soulless. It literally lacks any depth both in meaning and the very colours. It is through and through corporate

They can absolutely 100% be offensive: "Why are Americans always so stupid?", "Why do companies even hire when they can never be relied apon to do good work?"

How? Is "ch" pronounced "mt". What?

Pretty good litmus test on whether they're good musicians or just corporate karaoke.

Is a book of short stories or poems not art, just because it is not a monolithic novel.

An Album with 10 independent songs can still be a fully artistic package. Maybe each song is ment to be experience on it's own. Maybe the art form is to deliver a succinct and complete piece in 3-5 minutes?

Every year the forests get smaller and more fragmented. More land gets turned into lawns, and fields or covered with concrete. The air and the ground water gets poisoned. The native plants replaced by invasives.

Most likely, there are just fewer deer.

The phase of the moon determines its position in the sky in relation to the sun (well the position determines the phase).

Full moon: sun and moon completely opposite. Moon rises just as the sun sets.

Half Moon: 90° from the sun. Moon is at the horizon as the sun is at the highest point. Depending on waning or waxing moon, it will either rise or set just at noon.

Crescent moon: moon very close to sun. Will rise/set within hours of sun rise/set.

Tldr: the moon is in the sky 50% of the time. Of that time, 50% will be at day and 50% at night. 25% of your live has a daytime moon, it just isn't always visible because it is much dimer than the sun so if it is just a bit cloudy you still see the sun but not the moon anymore.

At least that's the theory at the poles (I think. Maybe at the equator) so depending on latitude it might be a bit different but the 25% should still be true.

That is not the point of TPM only unlock. Tell me, can you access the files on a windows system that automatically unlocks bitlocker and then boots to the windows login screen? What can you read without a user password? If you try to boot a different OS and read the data from there, the bitlocker encrypted drive will not be automatically unlocked.

Bitlocker TPM only mode is ment to protect against a stolen hard drive and attacks in which the whole laptop is accessed by attackers (like someone breaking into your hotel room while you are at breakfast). Now bitlocker is broken in TPM only mode and many vulnerabilities exist, but conceptually its purpose is not only to protect against a stolen hard drive.

To expand: both bitlocker and LUKS (what OP probably uses on Linux) can unlock without userinput from TPM or require a user password or use the TPM and a password. Its just the defaults are different. In all cases, the TPM/passwords are used to decrypt the Volume Master Key that is used to de/encrypt the actual disk. If you change your password you don't have to reencrypt 2TB of hard drive and wait 20+h.

With TPM only unlock, secure boot/verified boot is used to ensure the hard disk is accessed using the correct operating system and no meaningful changes have been made to the system since the last boot. With bitlocker, several vulnerabilities in bitlocker allow full decryption in TPM only mode because windows is fundamentally broken. So you should always use pin+TPM unlock.

PS. about the encrypted user data: that is not part of bitlocker. It encrypts the whole drive and that's it. DPAPI is a windows component that encrypts some user data with the user password. For example chrome cookies are saved in DPAPI so even an administrator can not read your cookies while you are not logged in to the system (if you log in they can read everything)

Längerfristig wird sich die Todeszahl wieder einfangen und sinken. Dann ist einfach die Lebenserwartung 5 Jahre niedriger als es jetzt ist.

Mit 85 stirbt man dann halt entweder an Lungenkrebs vom vapen oder an der Hitze im Sommer ...

Scheiß Zukunft
