I don’t think this is matter of mathematics, it is difficult to define what “software only running on desired machine” is. Like, do you permit functionally equal software with different code? With painstaking effort, functionality should be approximated fairly close (although idk what that means in mathematical context) On the other hand, requiring exact code is likely not what they want.

Cryptographic guarantee requires mathematical specification, which seems ill-fit in this scenario.

Huh, interesting that pop could be realized this time.

I am realizing I were only good at tests… So sad that I am one of the dumbest and just managed to fool some people with grades. But that does not help with real life.

It lists no alternative to actual(-budget) :( I don’t have time to create my own alternative, maybe I should go back to spreadsheets?

Exactly, C++ is what came to my mind when I saw this. Some people don’t put references??

Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.

This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.

Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.

Oh, do you happen to be a physicist or an analyst?

Same. Maybe I… gasp… like trains?

That’s such a way to dismiss the theory and academia

You know that is a lie, a lip service for the gullible mass. Samsung just does not care about security and privacy because it does not boost their profits.

Do you mean python has something to do with functional programming, or did I misread? Because I would say e.g. Typescript is (slightly) closer to FP than Python.

This made me realize that I am a nerd. Sad.

Yeah, the 2nd monitor briefly turns itself off and on in the same moment the 1st monitor tears. I will try to follow the steps.

It only happens in one monitor, another monitor is completely fine - although another monitor flicker when the monitor tears. I will check the monitor with other hardware (e.g. laptops). The connection type is HDMI, sadly the monitor does not seem to have DisplayPort connection.

First of all, thanks a lot! I should try different ones. To try the different ports, I need to open up the case, right? That sounds like work, but maybe that’s unavoidable. Guess I should check if the tearing occurs with laptops first.

Strangely, the tearing seems to happen more frequently in Linux. I am not sure how… Also, turning the monitor off and on briefly fixes the tearing. Does it say anything about it? Plus, it only happens in one monitor, another monitor is completely fine - although another monitor flicker when the monitor tears.

I relate to others, but isn’t the Rubix cube quite common in STEM people? Dunno what that has to do with autism

I mean, thoughts on nuclear waste? They certainly need management, and I dunno if humans are good at waste management.

I am living in a good enough apartment and is still suffering from it. Well, the apartment is old now, maybe that’s why…

For once, my aspie ass could understand the joke behind it.

So there is nothing that is particularly incriminating Trump? Ugh.
