That, and it would be in portrait mode, with a video playing. And ads taking up a third or the screen.

That's why I asked. There's tons of hardware out there that's works fine but doesn't have TPM2.0. Replacing every windows machine with new hardware would be an environmental disaster, not to mention the expense or supply issues it would create.

Upgrading hardware for software requirements is understandable for performance reasons, but doing so because of a security feature of no practical benefit for the average user is absurd.

What percentage of windows machines are even considered compatible with Win11?

My family just got a dog recently. When people ask me what he is, I always have to fight the urge to reply "He's a dog".

For me, it depends on where I am going exactly. For example, I rarely bring more than a single pair of shoes, unless I'm expecting to go somewhere formal or sandy. One set of clothes per day is usually enough, unless I'm expecting adverse conditions or laundry access. As far as space vs weight, space is fixed by the bag whereas weight is limited by what I can carry and for how long.

Just running through the days and any plans you know of should help, taking the expected climate into consideration for quantity of spares.

I actually mostly agree and was being a bit sarcastic. Training on newer systems is prohibitive anyway as you mentioned. Sending personell is clearly provocative and should be avoided. I just find the argument that the military industrial complex ran out of the bullets to help is laughable.

Obviously, production increases with demand and lags it causing stockpiles to decrease until output increases. Hopefully the quoted assessment is talking about that dip and not a more serious problem.

Really though, Russia knows the US is obligated to help. They signed the memorandum too, after all. It's hard to argue with someone that does so in bad faith, but continuing aid is hardly a provocative act.

Pretty sure the US is sending old surplus stock, and I'm sure the military industrial complex is salivating at the chance to resupply. Maybe if they send slightly newer stuff it might be over quicker.

At any rate, US support for exactly this type of situation was agreed on in the Budapest memorandum as part of Ukrainian nuclear disarmament. Russia broke their end of the bargain and started a war under false pretenses. It is up to them to end it, exactly like it is up to the US to do so when doing the same thing.

If the world can not unite to stand up to countries starting such conflicts, we shall never know peace.

If I was in his shoes I'd frame the email of Linus apologizing because he wasn't aware it wasn't in linux-next already. Everything else is just process crap that should be expected dealing with large organizations.

Is it really? I figured it was just another textbook example of convergent evolution, as that is where I learned about it. I know my comment should have said 'evolved crab-like bodies' instead, as they'd still be genetically distinct, and not taxonomically true crabs. Now I feel like I have to read up on what the exact nature of the debate is.

Fun fact: Through a process of convergent evolution called carcinisation, crustaceans have evolved into crabs several times.

Weirdly, I saw it normally immediately. Then I stared at it until it made no sense at all, as I tried to figure out why people would be confused.
