It’s a Stargate Universe plot, even

Just give it a grill faceplate

Just realized my post could be read wrong.

I meant that the above would be forced onto candidates as they sign up for an election.

Move all control of all business into a fully independent trust, or something. Maybe even one controlled in a different country if you’re really paranoid.

Somebody’s gotta mod one with a companion cube shell. The memes won’t stop

Scalpers’ pit

You need any type of review and scoring mechanism to show the source of reviews.

Both

They extended Proton with instruction translation (FEX)

Yup, FEX to translate x86 to ARM.

Not seeing anything about the price point. I’m guessing Valve will try to keep it low, but that could be anything between $500 to $1000 considering the competition

I’m not concerned about the core OS. The driver situation is moderately uncertain (a whole lot of components that could have open source drivers, but which ALL need to be configured just right to work well). It’s certain stuff on top, especially Steam Input for handling inputs, which I’m concerned about. Removing all proprietary code would probably leave it usable but very inconvenient to use.

Unless your models have weird drivers you absolutely can have multiple disc drives

Most of those things would only be possible by hiding them in a system update

It’s possible but complicated.

Since apps have access to the TPM API they can encrypt their own data in such a way that only the app’s own authorized processes can retrieve the decryption key from the TPM chip

There’s measures they could use in theory, but if you switch keyboard app away from Google’s and set private text mode, enable screenshot protection, etc, then you should be good.

Do you want to keep the original file size or reduce it?

It’s possible to compress with minimal quality loss by transcoding (since you can switch from the old inefficient DVD codec to a modern one). But just ripping the ISO image of the disc is the easiest thing you can do and it preserves the original perfectly, so if you have enough disc space you could start with that and maybe compress later if you start to run out of space

That works well if you’re OK with using default options, not very user friendly the second you want to tweak stuff.

OTOH that’s mostly a paper democrat

But I’ll take the win

Surprise trinary!

For sites you visit occasionally, it’s better to enable tab isolation (use the containers feature) and then enable JS only for that domain (note the difference between allowing JS from that domain in any tab, vs only allowing that tab with that domain to use JS, you should do the latter)

If you’re switching to a different browser you may as well use the same browser but a second clean profile and use private tabs so it doesn’t retain history. Using private tabs in your main browser profile does also help but isn’t perfect because there’s still some metadata leaks occasionally.

Using a different browser could ironically make you easier to track - how unique you are is the main signal used to track you (user agent, OS, language, etc), and going for an even more rare config will help their tracking even if you delete session cookies. Especially if they have a tracker across multiple domains you visit from different browsers from the same IP, with similar device fingerprinting results across browsers. That’s a strong signal those sessions are linked. You want to NOT stand out to maintain your privacy.
