If it wasn’t for this comment, I’d have moved on never knowing what it is for. I’m not going to dig my way across the internet to figure out what something is, if it’s worth looking at someone will actually say what it is and what it does.
Ngl, this screams “think of the children.”
No thank you.
I’d be pretty concerned if you got anything important or confidential to that address. While anyone in control of your email can see your email, Microsoft, Google and the like are much less likely to go snooping.
Actually, that’s fair. I forgot some updates are just terrible.
Yes, the initial install of the game is storage intensive. But again, that happens only once. I doubt you’re doing that very often.
I don’t think you understood my comment. I said nothing about adding more encryption, in fact I said the opposite.
True, but you’re limited in many, many ways before the SSD. Downloading the game? Network bottleneck. Playing the game? GPU/CPU bottleneck. (Not to mention, if a game is attempting to access multiple gigs of stored data every second, there’s likely something wrong with that game.)
Installing the game, absolutely. But you only do that once, and I doubt you’re installing a 500GB game daily.
… Then you would disable auto adoption of newly connected drives into bitlocker, would you not?
This is like complaining that the login screen pops up every time for a machine that doesn’t need security. Just change the setting instead of complaining about a niche use case.
The majority of users won’t notice a slowdown of even 50% on an SSD. It won’t effect game performance, your network will bottleneck before your SSD in any internet download, most users don’t interact with extremely large sets of data which is needed asap on the regular.
You’re essentially only going to have a problem, in daily use for the average user, in (un)packing large sets of data, or moving large sets of data between drives. Things most people don’t do regularly.
So a slight alteration to my question, how exactly does this negatively affect most users in daily usage.
Yes, and saying that the need to flip “do the thing” to “don’t do the thing” is a reason to not upgrade to 11.
You’re routinely reading and writing multi gig files in daily life? O.o Do you work with video editing or something?
The… need to flip a switch?
Yes, but my browser doesn’t give a fuck. As it should be for many reasons, including general security.
Your DNS only works for services/machines you have explicitly set to follow it, or devices under them in the network hierarchy.
Running your own DNS server doesn’t do much, unless your users are polling that DNS server, or a DNS server that pulls from it. No large DNS provider is going to honor your random ass DNS servers mappings, and that’s a good thing.
And honestly, trusting some random DNS server isn’t a good idea. All it takes is one malicious entry and https://google.com suddenly loads in a cryptominer.
Let me introduce you to humans; tell them anything and at least one person will believe it. Get enough of them together and you too can have such crazy beliefs as: sky daddy is real and you make him angry, the earth is flat, the earth is a doughnut, the earth is hollow, you have 5g chips inside your body that allow you to be mind controlled, lizard people.
Need I go on?…
Apart from the fact that it’s a bullshit headline cobbled together from half truths to tickle your anger glands… sure.
I have to say my one interaction with your mods was bullshit. Your admin was cool, but when mods decided to subvert their decision… nothing was done about it.
