I thought it was already fairly well established that symmetric encryption is not something that a quantum computer could potentially crack, only asymmetric encryption is theoretically possible due to its use of a prime order field.

Shor’s algorithm is a quantum algorithm for finding the prime factors of an integer. It was developed in 1994 by the American mathematician Peter Shor.[1][2] It is one of the few known quantum algorithms with compelling potential applications and strong evidence of superpolynomial speedup compared to best known classical (non-quantum) algorithms

a quantum computer with a sufficient number of qubits could operate without succumbing to quantum noise and other quantum-decoherence phenomena, then Shor’s algorithm could be used to break public-key cryptography schemes, such as

• The RSA scheme
• The Finite Field Diffie-Hellman key exchange
• The Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange

Moreover:

The largest number reliably factored by Shor’s algorithm is 21 which was factored in 2012 (ie faster than a regular computer, the much higher records like 48 bit utilized pre and post processing and was faster on a regular computer).

Even if we go with the assumption that the military is 10 years ahead in technology and can factor 221 with Shor’s, that’s still nowhere near enough to break RSA. Much more efficient to attack all the systemic flaws in RSA, hence why 1024 is no longer considered secure, 2048 is assumed to be breakable by any 3 letter agency, 4096 is assumed to be safe (for now), but mostly the latest and greatest is elliptical ECDSA/Ed25519 (of which NIST has been accused of rigging ECDSA for easier cracking lol).

Bruh this comments section is making the wrong conclusions

Clamshell design was and always will be the superior space format. There’s a reason why the DS and 3DS had so much homebrew, it was practically the successor to PDAs.

Android foldables have barely scratched the surface in split screen and back screen utility, but the half size alone makes it very nice to carry.

The real issue here is that yet another small groundbreaking OEM died because Android device development is an oligopoly. Google, Samsung, Motorola, and Oppo simply took the technology the moment it was revealed and immediately made competitor devices, regardless of initial quality, to get investors excited.

No one was gonna invest in some small Chinese OEM if the big ones were gonna do the same thing and guarantee sales + existence.

This exactly why Android feature development has stalled so hard. Everyone sits around twiddling their thumbs for several generations worth of phones until another startup comes up with a new feature they can implement for cash grab. It’s so bad we literally lost features like NFC bumping just to match what everyone else is doing.

If some startup made a phone with the camera shifted an inch to the center, I can guarantee you the next pixel or galaxy will have it for literally no practical reason other than to prevent competition.

Bruh it was a placeholder cuz it took me a sec to find the meme lmao

Because the vote system inherently supports popularity which creates content masking issues and usually results in communities with mods that want to keep that system.

Stack overflow has this exact same issue where stupid crap gets upvoted and useful stuff gets nuked so users don’t see things that would otherwise be important or useful.

Lemmy somewhat avoids it due to the relatively low number of posts, but that could easily change.

I don’t get why people think this idea is equivalent to stuff like internet access bans or COPPA, it’s a warning label, not an “enter your ID” to access page.

They never banned cigarettes, but putting a giant warning on the box did help in vilifying cigarettes as very unhealthy and wrong.

I doubt it’ll go anywhere in this age of government, but its exactly the type of thing I would have gone for if I were tasked with solving a societal issue. It’s smart because it has no real effect on access, so social media companies would have a harder time fighting it, but it also gives a big bloody warning which does have a substantial psychological impact on users.

iirc someone did something similar with a very simple “are you sure?” app that gave a prompt asking if you were sure you wanted to post something or send a text. Just having a single prompt was enough for many people to reconsider their stupid text or comment.

Apple pretending RCS doesn’t exist would be like Google acting like RCS isn’t a 15 year old protocol without e2e encryption

Oh wait…

Even the most casual of internet users will see the guide on how to change their DNS server bruh.

Next they’ll do DNS injection even though DoT and DNS over HTTPS is a thing.

Imagine trying to use Wireshark on windows to debug or look at some service.

Just an avalanche of packets going to 20 different domains on idle.

Turns out, the difference in the socket is just a few pins here and there, and you can make a 8th or 9th generation Coffee Lake CPU work on your Z170/270 board if you apply a few Kapton tape fixes and mod your BIOS,

Modders giving me a new reason to keep my ye olde z170 mobo instead of just making a new machine with all the nice hardware

Pakistan and India pages: amateurs

I still want to see someone slap an airplane grade INS suite into a car and load it up with some maps to see how far it can go without relying on GPS lol.

Not that it would functionally change much, but I find it annoying only self driving cars are still using dedicated navigation setups.

Google Maps has an aneurysm if you’re not going above 5mph even though the accelerometer really should have made this a non problem. Its even more dumb to be using your tiny phone receiver for vehicle navigation. GMaps still has to wait until you’re past a spot before finally deciding where you actually are.

Don’t worry guys, they banned TikTok so we’re gonna be fine /s

I have a (crappy) poweredge and know for a fact that that’s the wrong end to put the pizza on any rack server.

Only heat would be from the drive backplain, all the boiling hot CPUs, RAM, and expansion cards are further back.

FBI on its way to arrest me because I used MPC-BE to play dolby digital content without a license for the ac3 codec like 10 years ago lol

Guys I have a foolproof plan to reach 10%

I remember when volvo invented lootboxes to make tf2 free to play instead of selling a $60 “AAA” title with a battlepass and lootboxes included.

I remember the good ol days when the ads would lag up the loading of the page

Now they all load first and cover the entire content of the page because screw usability

Looking at you, every news outlet site ever

Not like it matters because they’re a silicon valley giant so even the next zero change iphone will sell morbillion units.

Jokes on you I’m already on the DoD blacklist because I played War Thunder and got spammed with 40 year old “classified” NATOPs by the forums.
