None of these three people exist because Photopea exists and absolutely obliterates Photoshop, GIMP, Krita, CSP, Affinity, and everything else in every possible conceivable metric, and it's not even trying.
Here's how it actually works:
A is a Windows user who prefers to stick to Windows.
B is a Linux user who rages and seethes at everyone who uses Windows because muh privacy and bloatware. (Linux consumes WAY more power than Windows but don't tell them that)

B tells A that he's a fucking retard because he's giving all his data to Microsoft. A tells B to install Enterprise IoT LTSC, and install Shutup10 and WSL, which creates a Linux-like experience on Windows. B keeps raging and seething because he doesn't know what any of that is.

A wonders what is wrong with B and tries installing Linux. Linux doesn't work. A looks up why Linux doesn't work. He finds out that NOT EVEN LINUS TORVALDS KNOWS HOW TO INSTALL LINUX AND HE'D RATHER USE PROPRIETARY SHIT LIKE RED HAT, FEDORA, AND MACOS, THAN LEARN HOW TO INSTALL DEBIAN, WHICH IS THE MOST STABLE AND EASY TO INSTALL DISTRO OF ALL TIME.

If Linus Torvalds doesn't trust Linux, why should A? A reinstalls Windows.

This. The ways fans work is that if you have a decent case and a decently sized cooler you don't have to worry about temps, ever, and you hit diminishing returns pretty fast. If you don't OC, that is (but only retards do that). Also people who can't stand the sound of their computer are severely mentally ill.

>no rear fans
Why?

>>102457038
The high idles, the spikes to 90+, and the lack of seeing it ever clock up to 5+ Ghz is what concerns me. Almost as much as how hot the computer room gets, but I'd need some complex, customer made system attaching to the back and top of the case and piping air to the outside with fans to really deal with that.

>Four more large Internet service providers told the US Supreme Court this week that ISPs shouldn't be forced to aggressively police copyright infringement on broadband networks.

>While the ISPs worry about financial liability from lawsuits filed by major record labels and other copyright holders, they also argue that mass terminations of Internet users accused of piracy "would harm innocent people by depriving households, schools, hospitals, and businesses of Internet access." The legal question presented by the case "is exceptionally important to the future of the Internet," they wrote in a brief filed with the Supreme Court on Monday.

>The amici curiae brief was filed by Altice USA (operator of the Optimum brand), Frontier Communications, Lumen (aka CenturyLink), and Verizon. The brief supports cable firm Cox Communications' attempt to overturn its loss in a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by Sony. Cox petitioned the Supreme Court to take up the case last month.

>ISPs say they shouldn't be liable for copyright infringement because "aiding and abetting requires some act to support the wrongdoing—not mere knowledge that a customer is doing something wrong." Providing service to a customer is not the same as providing "substantial assistance" to a wrongdoer, they wrote.

It might be worth looking into how AI is already being used in cybersecurity and carving out a niche for yourself if you're so inclined. Hewmons will still have to supervise & verify what AI detects, and possibly apply mitigations. Here's some intro reading:

All 1st world nations spy on eachother, and on thier respective citizenry. 1st world allied nations 'help' eachother to spy on everyone. Thier targets are vary widely from journalists, activist citizens and politicians, to corporate espianage. Botnets help to find targets by proxy, for example, Mr.Pleb McNobody lives next door to someone of interest. Telecom corporations have been mining personal data for a very long time, selling user data to whoever wants it.
As an example, take the "CarrierIQ" controversy that happened in 2011:

The article and video are very telling.
This is but one of many such cases, and of particular significance to me, because I was affected by this at that time. I saw with my own eyes, on my own device, that what that researcher discovered was true. The incident helped me begin my /pri/vacy journey in ernest, and the importance of having near-total control over devices I own.

>>102456653
FreeBSD also has been adopting some of the bloat and badly designed stuff from Linux because the Linuxulator makes it so easy to do. Display drivers? Pull in DRM from Linux. Linux has a ZFS implementation now? Pull it in and deprecate the old implementation.
FreeBSD, which was famous in the past for its memory management and small memory footprint, does not support memory compression when linux has the excellent zswap and zram modules. One of my machines runs FreeBSD and as time goes on, the unique advantages that the OS had are being eroded away.
