The Steam Deck does not officially support Windows Secure boot.

Of course it has Secure Boot, that’s a required part of the UEFI spec. “Windows Secure Boot” is not a thing.

Basically, Secure Boot means that … no other OS is allowed to boot.

No it means only EFI files that are signed with a known key are loaded. I use secure boot to load my signed GRUB.

What the Steam Deck doesn’t have is the Microsoft signing keys pre-installed in its factory state. If you buy other computers or bare mainboards they usually have this.

It functions like this:

US American importers pay the tariffs to the US American state.

The effect on EU entities is secondary in nature: The US American importers will either buy less from the EU entities and substitute the rest from other countries or they will try to buy the same more cheaply because they can’t keep up their previous value chain when the tariffs are included. Thereby demand for products from the EU will fall, hurting EU based exporters and more indirectly everyone up the chain from there.

It will also hurt the US American importers and more indirectly everyone down the chain from there.

Trump ignores the latter effect, and thinks the money raised for the US American state is more significant than it is. He also lies about the first step, but I think he knows how it really is, sometimes he lets it slip that he actually knows how tariffs work.

Parts, sure, but they also still have separate foreign policy apart from trade. As seen in the American War on Afghanistan for example.

What a load of cringe.

And that second to last sentence is just the cherry on top of the pile of shit. Everybody is already severely disappointed.

By the way: Does anyoen know if it’s even appropriate to call Von der Leyen “Her Excellency”? It sounds pretty weird to me.

He’s gonma abuse his Malaysian maid isn’t he?

That Economic Times article cites a Kyiv Insider article, but doesn’t link it, which I consider terrible journalism.

Here’s the link: https://kyivinsider.com/orbans-hungary-is-now-officially-the-poorest-nation-in-the-eu/

He’s just stirring shit to get his name out there isn’t he?

Heh a royal patchwork family then. I guess as a non blood relative to the crown prince he wouldn’t be in the line of succession?

That article is kind of shitty. I’d propose that reading the original with the help of machine translation is probably still better: https://www.srf.ch/news/international/trotz-sanktionen-schweizer-maschinen-in-russlands-waffenfabriken

Also just FYI this is 3 months old, that’s why the article refers to Trump stopping weapons deliveries, that was a current development at the beginning of march.

PCR testing for the SRY gene, according to the press release linked at the top.

Seems to me like they were already aware when writing this Press Release, they mentioned the policy on DSD:

Athletes that are deemed to be male at birth, as evidenced by the presence of Y chromosome genetic material (the SRY gene) or with a difference of sexual development (DSD) where male androgenization occurs, will be eligible to compete in the male category.

Athletes that are deemed to be female at birth, as evidenced by the presence of XX chromosomes or the absence of Y chromosome genetic material (the SRY gene) or with a DSD where male androgenization does not occur, will be eligible to compete in the female category.

They went back on time though. I checked up on that at the time because I was expecting them to be fugitive afterwards.

She’s an adult, she has the choice. She can step away like Prince Harry for example. As long as she remains crown princess, she’s perpetuating royalty.

Luckily I live far away from them. But yeah maybe I’m still too optimistic because of it.

On the one hand I wish anything bad that’s possible on anyone who’s royalty. On the other hand this might shine a light on Trumps bullshit in a way that even his supporters might start questioning.

While viewing and paying for pre-recorded content remains legal, the law targets live, commissioned interactions, which lawmakers argue blur legal and ethical lines.

Interesting distinction they are making there.

Yeah no wonder. The administration he’s part of is behaving unconstitutionally, so it’s only logical he would condemn the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in other countries for doing its job. Can’t have that if you want to erode the democratic basic order.

Wow interesting! Thanks for checking the label!

Yes, and that’s before muxing!

I need only 75 GHz of spectrum to send 400 Gbit/s through our country. We’ve currently got a link running between Zürich and Lugano (two amplifier sites in between, before and after the alps), and I’ve got 4400 GHz of usable spectrum with our currently deployed system, so if we needed it and spent like two million dollars we could deploy 23.2 Tbit/s within months, using just our normal commercial stuff, on a single fiber pair.

Using G.657.A2 fiber you could get away with 7.5 mm bend radius, or 15 mm diameter, for the innermost layer of the spool. That’s around 5/8 inch for freedom units.

But then again if you went that tight you’d need like 56’000 windings for 10 km. That sounds like a fuckton, and like we can’t ignore the outer diameter being larger.

Approaching it from the other side: The fiber diameter with coating but without any mantle is 0.25 mm. If you want to put 10 km on a 100 mm long spool you could put in 400 layers lengthwise, and each layer would have to be a spiral of 25 m (of course you’d spool it outside in, not layer by layer, but should be mathematically similar enough). Using this spiral calculator and some random changing of the values it looks like an outer diameter of 91 mm (3 & 5/8 inch), and inner of 15 mm and a thinkness of 0.25 mm would work for a 25 m spiral.

Or if we go for 125 mm drum length, so 500 layers, with 20 m each we get 82 mm (3 & 1/4 inch) outer diameter.

Or if we go for 150 mm drum length, so 600 layers, with 16.7 m each we get 75 mm (3 inch) outer diameter.

So yeah I think your estimate was pretty spot on, if the 10 km length is the right assumption.
