  • A recent famous case that comes to mind is when some independent researchers found an ex-RAF terrorist on the run (or call her whatever your political inclination suits) via facial recognition of photos on social media of a capobeira club. I assume the reference material were some age old photos as she was on the run for decades.

    I don’t know much about facial recognition but I only heard it works damn well and considering OS and phone manufacturers employing it and are confident enough to not have their users locked out or compromise security let’s me assume that it works damn well.








  • Correct. It seems to be a given at every election now. This time in the most populated state in Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia in the municipal elections (local representatives in councils and governors). Their votes grew from 5.1% to 16.5%. That’s aggravating as AfD usually makes jumps that big only in East-Germany and NRW is usually center left. But it was expectable that the sheep let themselves lull in by populists and eventually choose their own butcher again with some very promising & sane alternatives opposed to the US two party system e.g.

    Luckily we have some good liberal and leftist influencers who have managed to pull a lot of younger people out of the grip of the extreme right, but I fear it’s way to less influence. We have our Nick Fuenteses too.


  • Better install Windows 10 IoT and get support till Jan 2032. As a Bonus the, so I heard, best version of Windows 10 will probably phone home minimally to never, won’t rearrange your startmenu, won’t install Candy Crush again and maybe not reset settings so aggressively after updates. Can imagine stuff like news, wallpaper of the day or the graphics in the search bar is left out too.

    Find installation instructions here. Seems they’re inofficially tolerated by Microsoft, because it’s hosted on Github and the iso’s come from MS, AFAIK. I want to try it on Proxmox where I installed 10 with GPU pass-through recently. Using Linux for 8 years now after being a long time Windows user.

    IIRC they offer a way to install 11 without the hardware restrictions too on above site. I don’t know how the gaming situation on 10 (IoT) is and and how much Nvidia, AMD and Intel will still support 10 from now on.

    Edit: corrected send too early cut off sentence
