Continuing from OP’s snippet:

Leonie Mueck, formerly the chief product officer of Riverlane, a Cambridge-based quantum startup, said Google’s statement did not necessarily suggest there would definitely be a working quantum computer capable of breaking encryption by 2029.

In fact, most timelines for a cryptographically relevant quantum computer – that is, one powerful enough to break encryption – range from the 2030s to the 2050s. But Mueck said the prospect was close enough that governments were already preparing for the eventuality that data stored to today’s encryption standards would be exposed when the technology sufficiently advances.

“We’re basically seeing in the intelligence community already that for probably more than a decade they’ve been thinking about this threat,” Mueck said.

Last year the UK’s cybersecurity agency, the National Cyber Security Centre, urged organisations to guard their systems against quantum hackers by 2035.

Google’s timeline suggests engineering teams across the technology industry should consider measures to protect sensitive data by migrating to more advanced encryption systems now. Certain kinds of attacks predicated on the future availability of quantum decryption – “store now, decrypt later” – may currently be being deployed across the field.

I want to thank you and people like you.

I had someone do something similar for me, when I switched from Plex to Jellyfin I didn’t know what I was doing too well and it wasn’t as secure as I had thought it was. Well someone found and gained access to it and, rather than doing something nefarious, let me know by changing a few cover art images to a warning explaining that with how it was set up at the time I could get compromised quite easily. They saved my ass from a huge headache down the line I’m sure, and I never got to thank them for it.

Lmao no it isn’t. I deleted my Facebook and blocked all their CDNs at the dns level more or less on a whim and it’s had literally no impact on my life since (aside from the obvious boon of not being subjected to that garbage platform.)

You’re just projecting your own dependency onto others, when in reality it really is as simple as just not going there anymore.

Your friend is a ditto

I’m here to duke nukes and nuke dukes, and I’m all outta nukes.

Fool.

There aren’t 50 states with mandatory safety inspections, try educating yourself before making nonsense arguments.

I did say most, not all. Some of the info on that page may be outdated, but obviously it would just be limited to those that require regular comprehensive inspections in the first place.

I was able to easily look up the inspection guidelines from my states DMV page and confirm for myself that TPMS light is not a fail here so YMMV, but my point was essentially that it’s more likely than not that bad sensors won’t fail someone, not that nobody will get failed.

It seems most states with mandatory vehicle inspections don’t fail for TPMS problems.

I’ve seen that site recommended, and used it once to download a really obscure indie game that wasn’t on my usual source.

Didn’t get any malware or anything from that, but my experience using them is pretty limited so I’d say just keep an eye out for any odd behavior/apps/performance issues if you download it.
