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?

I wonder if we can really trust the TEEs. Isn’t it their hardware where they are quite free to do what they want? Also it looks very vulnerable to the side-channel attacks.

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.

Interesting, is it difficult for people to admit they are wrong? As someone who’s almost always wrong, I cannot fathom why it would be so hard to admit wrongness.

It still has two holes compared to a sphere, and that is our usual frame of reference.

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

Why is this painful truth not the top comment? Maybe people are still hopeful after all the time?

Since they leaked data, here’s more sensitive data to leak for them? Dafuq?

Sometimes I feel sad I am incapable of chicanery like this, it sounds like the only path to an affluent life.

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.

Wait, so that was also Microsoft? Oh no… I just gave away more money to them :/

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

Microsoft just has so many users unwilling to change, that I do not foresee that happening. Just 10% of people switching to Linux would be absolute win for me.

No one wants to donate it to charity of my choosing?

(What if the charity is just a thin veil over my own account)

I have some silver but it is not faring well compared to gold :(
