Why not, if copilot writes the code and tests, then the tests can be passed so much more easily!

Recently someone lamented that just asking for an alarm to be set cost them tons of money and didn't even work right..

It was foolish enough to let LLM go to town on automation, but for open ended scenarios, I at least got the logic even if it was stupidly optimistic.

But implementing an alarm? These people don't even have rationality to their enthusiasm...

Broadly an "everyone is shit here" scenario.

Eh, I'm not really interested in disc based copies, really the disc is there for ripping and then stored, jellyfin to stream it to watch as I please. Once ripped then I can handle the resultant file nice and easy.

plastic crowns, I'll settle for nothing short of genuine gold and gems, thank you very much.

Pro tip to BK: I probably wouldn't even notice the lack of 'please' and 'thank you'. I would, however, be significantly happier if you stopped making them say "You Rule". Seems like they have to say it as both greeting and a "your order is finished". It's just unpleasantly cringey.

It's a bit trickier last time I did it to be confident I can rip a Blu-Ray.

I actually don't want to juggle discs to watch stuff, I like the general concept of streaming, but I don't like paying eternally for it, for shows to jump between providers and for my access to cut out part way through and/or even if I have the new service, my progress being forgotten so I have to try to look for where I left off.

So I want to rip content. DVDs are always dead simple. As I rip blu-rays, MakeMKV is kind of a hassle, it wants to expire itself all the time, and like right this second the place to update from seems down. Maybe someone will comment with some easy way to rip blu ray that internet search doesn't make obvious.

If folks sway me, might go buy a 4k friendly Blu Ray drive and hop to it.

Sure about houses, but retirements are balances built upon the expectation that debt continues to grow and remains serviceable. If the debt is a problem, retirement accounts go poof

The problem was that things started breaking at scale under the gold standard. The great depression happened under the gold standard, and financial institutions had no ability to do anything to fix the mass hysteria.

Yes, the house as an investment vehicle rather than a house is a problem, but it's not because of fiat currency per se. The population density increasing under a capitalistic system pretty much guarantees that housing becomes a speculative asset regardless of the specifics of the currency system.

Meanwhile BTC has been wildly unpredictable and when it's at its most hyped, massively deflationary which is also a terrible thing.

The thing is in such a case secureboot doesn't help and is unnecessary. Secureboot only does anything for the concept of "trusted suppliers".

If the system has available signing keys for itself, well, hypothetical malware could sign itself using those same keys The OS security mechanisms are the only things protecting that, and in which case the signature validation is redundant.

You can have trusted boot, e.g. LUKS volume sealed to TPM PCRs, but secureboot just doesnt make sense as a mechanism for a user to only trust themselves.

I have seen some platforms locked to Microsoft first party keys only. They boiled the frog by starting with it being optional, able to enroll your own keys, and Microsoft signing third party bootloaders, but now there exists a Microsoft-only certificate regime that at least some vendors have selected, or at least made a selectable option. The pitch being that Windows shops that don't trust their users can be assured they aren't deviating from the blessed windows os their IT trusts.

Nvidia can't meaningfully sign their Linux drivers. A distribution can, in theory, include Nvidia drivers in their build and sign it, but the logistics of out of tree drivers is just impossible.

Redhat toys with the concept of a whitelisted ABI for some limited range of kernels, but I've never seen a driver actually roll with that.

Basically Linux would need to embrace some form of ABI, and there's been zero interest in doing so.
