How bad is TPM on a laptop for privacy?
There are some speculations about TPM uncontrollably sending data to manufacturer servers if a laptop has any Internet connection. Others say it’s not intended/capable of that, like this answer [https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/187820/do-a-tpms-benefits-outweigh-the-risks#187828] for example (which is 5 years old though). Lemmy, what do you say?
Where in history is the starting point of modern week day count?
I mean, if today i.e. is Sunday then someone long time ago should have said “Today will be Sunday” for the first time in a period from today that is multiple of seven. I was assuming that it was Pope Gregory XIII in October 1582, but looks like he is not. I failed in googling and duckduckgoing out the answer, so I ask for Lemmy’s collective wisdom!
Rant about Reddit (by Notion AI)
So, I asked Notion AI to write a rant about Reddit. Even AI should have something to say. And this was her reply: >Reddit is a popular social news aggregation and discussion website where users can post content, vote on it, and comment on it. While it can be a great source of entertainment and information, my experience with Reddit has been nothing short of frustrating. > >Firstly, the site is overrun with trolls and negativity. It seems like no matter what the topic, there is always someone ready to spew hate and negativity in the comments section. This can make it a very unpleasant place to spend time and can even discourage people from participating in discussions. > >Secondly, the upvote/downvote system promotes a “hive mind” mentality and often leads to popular opinions drowning out dissenting voices. This can stifle meaningful discussion and discourage people from sharing their own unique perspectives. > >Lastly, the site can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. There are countless subreddits and it can be hard to find the ones that are relevant to your interests. The search function is also notoriously unreliable, making it even harder to find what you’re looking for. > >Overall, while Reddit has its benefits, I find the site to be more trouble than it’s worth.
