Looks like I got the wrong kind of filter, but eh 🀷

Tldr minerals capture it, the filter capture minerals

Because if the community solutions are good enough then half the articles about the shutdown will mention it

Boiling plus filtering (like the metal grid filter in many kettles)

Linux is currently having parts of the kernel rewritten in memory safe languages like Rust, eliminating entire classes of exploits. Wayland is being developed with a far more secure architecture than the old X.org window manager. One important reason why they can do this is because the whole industry follows and stuff like drivers can be updated at the same time to keep everything working, and it doesn't even need to be the original developer patching it.

Microsoft's opacity makes it near impossible for them to do the same thing, so much of their security improvements are essentially hacked in on top of old code to not break compatibility. Instead of eliminating bug classes they rely on tons of techniques to make them harder to exploit instead - yet not impossible.

Closed source doesn't prevent people from reverse engineering it to find exploits, it just makes it harder for others to contribute to fixing it

If they're profiting more than they're paying for maintaining this standard as the default then they don't want it to change

You can make it sooo cursed lol.

A KVM usually have circuitry that can handle a specific total bandwidth and a specific number of HDMI or DP ports (I've seen a few where using 2x 4K displays would disable the remaining ports until disconnected due to bandwidth).

To make this work as expected for a KVM you need circuitry to handle all ports being used for either standard (expensive, lol), and have each physical port connected to I/O on both the HDMI and DP controller. Or support half and half, but connect each port to even more I/O ports and start doing switching...

They don't track username history and don't have a server side list of plaintext usernames, and others can't find your phone number from the username alone. That makes it harder to confirm which account is yours.

It was released 2003, but yeah. My 2004 account is still active, and I have an older Hotmail address

Too late, take a look at teletext and RDS for radio, and also literally the very first cable free TV remote controls

There has been multiple breaks, like the good old 2^64 bruteforce attack when they used too short session identifiers, malleability issues that could let the server/hackers change your messages, reordering attacks, etc.

Whatsapp is built on the Signal E2EE protocol, Telegram has a terrible homebrew encryption protocol with a ton of weirdness and it has had a long history of weaknesses which they lied aggressively about
