>“relevant devices” are smartphones or tablet computers which are either internet-connectable products or network-connectable products for the purposes of section 5 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022
So it's for smartphones and tablets only? What?
Something which was already bound to be incredibly ineffective has been hobbled to be even more ineffective, because surely anyone who wants to hide what they're doing will just use a laptop, or a desktop.
I think they realised it would be too impractical to force changes to every computer (they can't even keep their own government computers up to date) so they went for phones only, figuring that that is enough surveillance for one day. Oh and I guess slap something about doing it to protect children on the end of the bill or something. Whatever.
The Secretary of State can expand to any other device with either a screen, camera, or the ability to transmit, so I guess that clause is just a foot in the door anyway.

>but what gives you the confidence to say that it would not pass?
NTA. But common sense.
The UK .gov doesn't actually make hardware, and arguably a few f'kin webforms doesn't count as software.

So for this to work they will need *everyone else* everywhere else to do their dirty work. How they actually going to achieve this?

Lets pretend this actually happens - without compromising the presence of the things various alphabet soups want to remain undiscovered - then how is this tangibly achievable? Via what mechanism is "tamper proof" with physical access going to operate? How will the device determine you are watching, viewing(isn't they the same?) or streaming CSAM?
What about the literally millions of devices already in the field that do not comply with this?

There is no "not get abused by it".
They're building a stick to hit you with. Running around seeing how many nails you can cram into it is never going to result in lacking abuse.

You might be productive to spend some time thinking about the long term uses for the data collected. If you get near "advertising" then it will be prudent to recall the scale of their global operation for a decade before people started to question the money flow. As well as recall companies like Cambridge Analytica, what happened to them, why, and people they'd previously taken money from, and their next moves...

>the social media issue is a symptom of the parenting issue
Parenting is certainly an issue, but it's a symptom of the retard issue. The retards unable to think about the long term consequences of their actions.
The people that made this a problem? They're parents now. They cannot fix the problem, they didn't understand it was a problem when they didn't, and still don't fully grasp the problem they've created now.

There is always something interesting there you can't find on the so-called surface web. In both speed and content, it was like the 90s Internet. It was way better before 2013 when Freedom Hosting got taken down. A lot of pedo shit was removed, but some good and interesting stuff went with it unfortunately. I'd waste a lot of time on the "Questions and Answers Game" and there were a number of social networks. Though probably a load of shit, the "Human Experiment" site was still pretty creepy.
These days, I mostly use it for the Library of Trantor and Just Another Library (though I think this one is now offline) to get free books, which is not exactly law-abiding because of the piracy, but it's not drugs, guns, or pedo porn.
>>
On the topic of Freedom Hosting, does anybody really believe it was run by one man and wasn't a honeypot? I find it hard to believe, given how many Tor hidden services were hosted on it for FREE, with as many DBs as you wanted and an FTP service, and the most you got in terms of restriction was a mild mannered warning on the homepage about not using too much disk space and bandwidth. Also, the only way to contact the owner was a link to a thread on Onionforum which had shut down a few years before Freedom Hosting finally went under.

In GNU/Linux systems secure boot is mostly for prevention of evil maid attacks, since the main method of software acquisition happens from big repositories with hundreds of watchful eyes making sure there isn't any malware in them.

If your threat model doesn't include the glowniggers coming and bugging your stuff, then you can just as well leave it off, if your distro does not support it out of the box.

Personally, I have it turned on since Debian signs their kernel and there aren't any drawbacks.

Evil maid attacks is generally all I’m finding from a few privacyguide, and leddit forums mentioning secure boot (if not outright shilling it like MS drones).

My threat model will probably never involve being targeted by nation state actors, but the pursuit of absolute privacy, anonymity, and security is an entertaining (and desired) endeavor to me, if even the most likely reality is we’re all already fucked and everything at a hardware level is probably compromised to begin with.

My inner cySec paranoia is convinced Secure Boot duos as a radio for glowies if it’s active. (As if the chip responsible is somehow running additional code for my schizoid fantasies).

Why the fuck do you even give a shit at this point? The 9a has all the same features as every other flagship phone.

What are you doing to your phone? I got a free Moto with my phone plan like 4-5 years ago and it is perfectly fine? And what you mean "lasts"? If you treat your phone that poorly you need to buy a shitty used flip-phone until you learn to respect technology. Aside from that, buying a more expensive option with the cheaper option does everything you need is beyond profoundly idiotic.

legitimate question. What exactly is the purpose of this in a web browser these days? It isn't like people are sharing computers or tablets. Even poor people on welfare have their very own smartphone or computer that's subsidized entirely by the government, one for each member of the family. Nobody is sharing tech these days, especially something as personal as a phone, tablet, or computer. Why would you need an incognito function on a computer that you own and use exclusively yourself? Did we really need to implement this entirely new function in a web browser when you could just click history and then delete the website from there?

>What exactly is the purpose of this in a web browser these days?
It provides a browsing session where cookies and site data aren't retained after the session ends. It also isolates this session, for the most part.

>It isn't like people are sharing computers or tablets
Have you ever worked in the IT department at a corporate office, nonprofit, school, or university?

>Nobody is sharing tech these days
They are though.

>Why would you need an incognito function on a computer that you own and use exclusively yourself?
Because sometimes you don't want the data from a browsing session to be retained, or you need a session that is separate from the standard one (e.g. You want to use two different accounts on a domain simultaneously). It's why almost every browser has this feature or an equivalent one.

Windows caches stuff into free RAM to make things faster and that's not listed under the processes tab because it's not any specific process using that memory
Check your memory in the performance tab, you should see how much is being used for cache/standby
Windows does this because there is literally no reason not to if it makes things faster. It will free that RAM if you need it for other stuff

I decided to "upgrade" my laptop's WiFi to a MT7925 only to find out later that it doesn't really work on Windows 10.
Newer versions of the Presonus software for my audio interface are also not supported and so on.

It's becoming a bit of an annoyance to keep using 10 LTSC, so I'm considering 11 LTSC, is it really that bad?
Does ExplorerPatcher work on it, can you get the old taskbar (and with it support for 7 Taskbar Tweaker)?
