You can easily lose 100% or gain 100% i don't get this logic isn't it pretty well established that random events are independent of each other? so like, just because a roulette wheel has been black 50 times that doesn't mean the 51st is "due" to be red... in the long run (millions and millions of spins) this is just a blip https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

maskenfreiheit posted:i don't get this logic slot machines don't work this way, though. they're not roulette wheels, and the random events aren't truly independent. they are obliged to maintain a running average take/payout across some statutorily mandated period. if the take rate across the last 24 hours has been 13%, but the statutorily mandated take rate is 12%, you know they are gonna have to pay out slightly more than usual to get the numbers back in order. (i don't doubt this strategy works, i just doubt there's enough money in it to matter)

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/biggest-data-leak-in-swedens-history-punished-with-half-a-months-paycheck/ The Swedish government has exposed sensitive details on millions of citizens in one of the biggest government screw-ups ever, and the official responsible for the whole fiasco was fined only half of her's monthly salary, which is 70,000 Swedish krona — or around $8,500. The leak happened in September 2015, when the Swedish Transport Agency (STA) decided to outsource the management of its database and other IT services to companies such as IBM in the Czech Republic, and NCR in Serbia. The entire STA database was uploaded onto cloud servers belonging to these two companies, and some employees got full access to the database, as Sweden fired its IT technicians.

they are removing code for the TPM owner password feature, which is not the same as TPM support for doing TPM thingsquote:Only the TPM owner can enable, disable, or clear the TPM without having physical access to the computer (for example, by using the command-line tools remotely). TPM usage in Windows has evolved a lot in recent years and so as has the TPM spec (1.2 -> 2.0), so I am not entirely up to date on how the latest implementation in Windows is. i would wager the "owner password" implementation was superseded by integrating it directly into the Windows security system (if you are an administrator, you are the owner - no need for a second layer as there is already a physical aspect involved). though I might be wrong - there is a lot of stuff happening under all those one-click TPM related features in Windows. ps. anyone know of a TPM-capable bitlocker alternative for linux that is not 5 years old abandoned horseshit? some sort of TPM-using loader for luks, presumably. all i found was some trustedgrub abandonware and its owner company did not even want my money for maintaining it. and veracrypt authors don't even seem to know what a TPM is for.

Thanks for the clarification. It seemed insane to remove TPM, and since I am not really sure how it works(other than there is a chip in the system that provides a password for decryption) it read like important parts were being deprecated.

It seemed insane to remove TPM, and since I am not really sure how it works(other than there is a chip in the system that provides a password for decryption) it read like important parts were being deprecated. TPM.msc is all 2003-style interface so it was bound to get chopped eventually. The important points are that since 1603(?) there is by design no built-in way to set a TPM owner password because literally no one was using it to do Good Things and it was just one more stupid password for users (especially business ones) to set to something trivially guessable and reused across the entire fleet. Now, at install time or any time you reset your TPM, Windows sets it to a random value and throws it away because there are other, better ways to perform BitLocker key recovery through consumer cloud or MBAM to get your data back if your motherboard goes poof. Pair it up with SecureBoot and it all "just works" which is ideal for the 99.99% of businesses who scarcely know what they're doing with security.
