I recently got my laptop back after it was seized by the LEA. They found nothing since I had FDE using Truecrypt but now I'm worried if they tampered with my device or installed a backdoor. I have placed it inside of a faraday cage and I'm thinking whether I should get rid of it. My mom's also asking a lot of questions which makes me think the house has been bugged. Currently posting from my phone which hasn't been compromised. My parents foolishly allowed the agents to take my laptop without a search warrant while I wasn't home and now they're trying to make me confess for my sins. What should I do? I'm obviously getting a lawyer within the next few days, but does /g/ think my laptop is safe to use, or should it be destroyed?
>>107552786depends on the scope of secrecyif the target knows their comms channel is comped, they will use alternatives, obviouslyplus even now i think its common knowledge that secret services snoop on people's datathe feds do wiretaps since back when we still used wiresid say surveliance is not secret in its global scope since the public learned about the capability

>>107552658what if they backdoored my home router as well?or maybe they're getting live info from my ISP.all tech shops near me could be compromised.I guess my only option is to travel very far.I could also format my hard drive and continue using my laptop. they couldn't have installed a hardware backdoor, right? I'm just not that interesting for them to waste so much time for potentially nothing to gain. besides, formatting my drive will wipe everything and I can continue using it for legal stuff only.>>107552813it's the only device I have which wasn't at my home during their search.
>>107552318Get a new laptop.
Sighs. Dude, if you're not a schizo and have compromised devices you use them as reverse honeypots.That is, you look like a completely innocent, joe-jerkoff, vanilla, boring motherfucker you can.They want you for technical knowledge? You're literally googling how to install a new browser or game emulator.They want you for drugs? You only watch cooking channels and search for foreign snacks.They want you for crypto and dark web shit? You're only watching sports channels in Youtube and google how to bet online.They want you for some degenerate porn? You have a big crush on whatever celebrity is in fashion right now and her mildly risque pictures.Hide in plain sight.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KktpjvYwLw>stop telling me to run Windows 10 LTSC>I will just keep running Windows 10 Pro and not update. You don't need updates, they only make everything worse and they are remote code execution from Microsoft!LTSC bros ... your response?
>>107547893He's right you don't need LTSC, he's wrong in that you don't need security updates.
>>107547893He should just upgrade to Qubes OS, then set up a Windows Server 2022 or whatever TemplateVM for the 3 important things he needs that absolutely have no decent GNU replacement.Look at my build for example. That is a *disposable* Windows environment right there, fully loaded and ready to rumble!
>>107551789>"upgrade"
>>107550995>You just have to let them suffer the consequences of their own choicesI haven't updooted Windows since October 2021. What consequences should I be watching out for? Nobody's drained my bank account yet, I haven't been party vanned yet, I haven't been summoned to court yet, and my files haven't been ransomwared yet. Two more weeks though, I'm sure.

Do you Think it’s actually possible to have a lightweight, easy 2 run AI that normal people could use? Like, not some massive clusterfuck eating your GPU, but still smart enough to do stuff without frying your PC?Imagine an AI so advanced it’s literally the computer itself. No extra software, no installs, no bloat. Every chip, every wire, every bit of hardware is the AI. You don’t run it, it is the machine. Think that’s ever gonna happen, or just /g/ autism fantasies?
>I make software that people use to write documents omg that's so cool! >I make software that people use to communicate with friends omg that's so cool! >I make software that people use for interactive entertainment cringe. fuck you. die!
>>107552705???a solodevs payday says otherwise
>>107552705>>I make software that people use for interactive entertainment >cringe. fuck you. die!This is because of the amount of insane dweebs the PC gaming market attracts for some reason, very violent and angry incels.You see the same people on the Linux desktop, talking about red hat and ibm.Ah yes you mean the guys who invented the PC is who you have a problem with. and something something woke.
Nobody cares about anything anymore.Nobody wants to get together anymore.Nobody does anything without getting paid anymore.Nobody wants to do anything anymore.https://youtu.be/kVaolNKt2zwhttps://youtu.be/1d925iMSuLYWhere do we go from here?

Nothing about the world we live in will ever make sense to you unless you understand you live under an occupation, and are thus subject to the rules of the occupiers. If you do not start from there, you will search for multiple explanations and rationalizations that will lead you to ineffective ends. You are not an active participant in modern internet, you are its problem. Public debate is debating why you’re the problem, WHATWG/W3C is about dealing with that problem. The opposition in debate simply offers an alternative path to your destruction; the end goal is never resisted. We cannot seek to influence the debate or enter modern internet; we can only hope to smash it.

It is indeed unique, though.>>107551651A little discordant, but definitely early electronic. Glad you found them.About 3 years ago, a /g/entooman felt froggy & brave and shared their music. Listening to all our links has caused Youtube to bubble his channel back into my recommends, even though I downloaded them years ago and daily listen to three of them ( Space Howl, The Haunting, and Invasion). Thought I would share:https://www.youtube.com/@merkurialmusic/videos
>>107551750Keep in mind those last two links are lists. The Music for the Gods has some very interesting variety, and the Dartmouth one was a projected headed by one man, but the tracks are done by different individuals with a variety of visions/approaches.INVASION is INTERDASTING thus far!
>>107551750Oh man, definitely DIG SPACE HOWL.Very much appreciated.

>>107552190It makes absolutely no sense to be mad about AoC 2025 existing. You could reasonably hold the opinion that AoC 2025 was bad. But to be mad about it merely existing, given that no one is under any obligation to participate, would be purely performative.

>>107551968reducing the scope of the game helps. also depends on what you try to make. what kind of game is it?
>>107552095There is no smaller scope, that would make it a different game. It's just the fact that I have trouble learning programming without vibe coding and vibe coding is garbage. I'm fine with everything else, I can use the engine fully, I make the art and music etc. I just can't code and programmers are unreliable.
graphics, graphics never change

If someone came to you in 1995 and said in 2015 everyone would have a little computer in their pocket that's thinner than a pencil and is basically just a very high quality screen tha5t can do everything., With fulll access to the internet, and able to make phone calls to anyone, or video calls to anyone anywhere in the world. And the video quality would be better than the highest end picture photography. And it was 1000x faster than the best computers now. Would you believe them?

>> Just as the development of the Interstate Highway System led to the creation of McDonald’s hamburgers, Holiday Inn and a thousand other new commercial developments that would have been impossible without the Interstate Highway System, in the same way we will see the emergence of information services on a nationwide basis that will be extremely profitable and nearly ubiquitous. – Al Gore, 1993
