TPMs are exceptionally effective at preventing the threats they are designed to mitigate, when used correctly.
A TPM is a device specific hardware security module (HSM). HSMs are a key component of modern enterprise security. You might think that's far removed from your PC at home, but it's a difference of scale, not of kind.
Anti-vaxxers don't understand the science behind how vaccines work and they dislike how vaccines are implemented, in their perception of society.
If you dislike TPMs on face value it's because you also don't understand the science behind how it works and you dislike how it's implemented, into your perception of society.
Microsoft is a PoS company for mandating TPM compatibility as a baseline for their OS to function. It's a security feature, and not one that's important enough at this juncture to be REQUIRED for an everyday consumer device. It has trade offs. It can be argued that the trade offs aren't worth it at this juncture.
But, as I said, TPM is not inherently bad. It's inherently good, in fact - but shitty implementation is shitty.
TPM is not a marketing gimmick, it's a legitimate security feature that helps combat modern types of viruses.
Microsoft is a shit company that used TPM nonsense to justify a wave of forced obsolescence, but that does not mean that TPM is inherently bad at all, it is not.
Disabling it can boost some speeds, yes, but that statement is true of disabling any feature that runs code... Because the device is doing less. Closing programs does the same thing, but then programs aren't running.... So.
TPM has nothing to do with AI adoption, again that's Microsoft being a shit company.
The spirit of your anger is valid but it's misdirected. Don't trash TPM because we want people to understand that it's a good thing to have if you can enable it for your use case and want to accept any trade offs. Threats evolve and security evolves with it; TPM is part of that.
Advocating against TPM is analogous to being anti-vax.
Minced always means very very finely chopped. That's a mince; it's a preparation technique, not necessarily just for garlic.
Crushing, at least in the context of garlic, generally means using a garlic press (most common in western cooking) or using a mortar and pestle. You can also crush with the side of a knife, bottom of a glass, etc but that's a pretty rare method because you'll usually end up with large globs or chunks and it's very likely that people will get big ass mouthfuls of garlic, which most people don't like (I do like, but most don't)
I can't think of a time when I've seen a serious recipe call for crushing garlic in an uncontrolled manner like with the side of a knife. If you find a recipe that does so, just assume they mean to squeeze it in a press, unless in your judgement the recipe benefits from big clumps of garlic (mashed potatoes is a good example imo).
But yeah, it's either mince or press, if the recipe is unclear. I usually just press no matter what because I love garlic flavor and it's easier than a mince - not because the cutting is hard necessarily, but because it's extra cleaning of the knife, your hands, and cutting board takes more time. Easier to just rinse the press and toss it in the dishwasher.
Using a garlic press or a mortar+pestle by FAR exposes more surface area and expresses more oil and aromatics.
Not sure how you can think that flat, cut surfaces on the exterior of undisturbed interior areas can somehow have less surface area than an amorphous blob of crushed matter.
Wow ok you can hate the term but I think it's nuts that you're laying its prevalence at the foot of FOX news. It's standard corporate buzz speak. There's no politics here.
Big, efficient companies work 24 hour jobs by having 3-4 overlapping shifts with usually at least two general foremen, often more, and a team of PMs. Skilled planners and foremen can manage the jobs, and overlapping shifts helps with continuity instead of a whistle blowing and everyone on site tags out like a wrestling match.
These are the companies that get the biggest and most expensive contracts. They have all the equipment, they can hire the number of people they need, and they have the experience. They do massive jobs that destabilize entire areas while the work is being done and the customer/city/municipality/government is willing to pay to get it done ASAP because letting the disruption last 2-3x longer is worse than the price tag.
Some places with harsh winters and short construction seasons also habitually work 24 hours.
It really depends on what you're doing and where you are. In general, small to medium sized GCs and companies for single builds will not work 24 hours. Once you start getting to big projects within an urban area or major road construction, that kind of thing, it can change.
I will say that it's MUCH better to do construction in natural daylight, full stop. No amount of flood lighting gives you the amount of visual acuity as the sun does for something like construction. We generally always planned to leave easier work for night shifts, not because they sucked, but because it's just harder in most ways. More dangerous, colder, your best paid people don't generally want to work those shifts, businesses are closed so you've got to deal with on call POCs which slows stuff down if there's problems... Yeah.
Saline filled implants are different than "silicone" implants (even though they both have silicone - "silicone" implants are filled with a silicone gel, saline have a silicone exterior that's filled with saline).
Saline is the older type and are becoming much less common these days.
Wireless cameras offer an easier vector for people to get into your camera feeds. Biggest risk to this is a poorly secured network in the first place, but the risk is still there.
Also, wireless is going to be inherently a worse quality video stream, and constant video traffic being sent over your Wi-Fi bogs down your entire network.
All that being said Wi-Fi cameras are just fine and as long as you have strong Wi-Fi security you're really not at a real risk unless someone very savvy is specifically targeting you, in which case you've got bigger problems.
I have probably a dozen cheap wireless cameras in my house (to keep an eye on pets) and I have them spaced over two access points and honestly I don't notice a difference on my Wi-Fi at all, but I'm sure it's worse than if I didn't have them. All my exterior cameras are wired, but that's more because I want better quality streams and I'm running a wire anyways so might as well be PoE. Only exterior wireless camera I have is my doorbell but that's because I didn't want to run a new wire to it.
Overall wired cameras are much better quality, but they're not as convenient. Make the decision for yourself based off of your priorities. Real tough to get a wireless camera with the fidelity needed to capture license plates clearly, but if you don't need that then why worry about whether your gear can achieve it or not?
Not saying I necessarily disagree with you, but for the sake of discussion: why do you distinguish between AI coding and AI art?
They were both trained on the backs of skilled professionals and businesses seek to outsource the human skill set for AI tools. What makes an artist's skills more sacred than a coder?
It fit my hands really well. C stick was entirely game dependent, some used it heavily and others ignored it - sort of similar to D pad, but that's been pretty common since games started supporting 3D environments - D pad was only the primary movement control in a 2D game or menus, and occasionally used for ancillary stuff. That is the same to this day so it's kind of a moot point with this controller specifically.
Personally I loved the asymmetric letter button controls. Was goofy looking but way less awkward thumb movements to reach stuff.
