That's for the IoT variant, which is further segmented into incrementally expensive editions depending on the CPU you want to use it with.

And good luck finding somewhere to buy a single license of that. And even then, there's a high chance software you use (browser, IDEs, ...) will not keep getting updates after 2025.

If this was feudal Japan, we'd be seeing seppuku left and right.

> why not just embrace it

Everything-goes sounds fun in theory but in practice it'd just kill the athletes (and the sport, by extension)

Case in point, Group B rally.

And even that still wasn’t “no holds barred”, leaving aside what little safety rules it had (and how weakly enforced they were) Group B did have rules on minimum weight and displacement classes (with negative offsets for turbo and super charging).

It's always fun trying to guess which product Google will sunset next month

> same signature as an important system file

AFAIK important system files on Windows are (or should be) cryptographically signed by Microsoft. And the presence of such signature is one of the parameters fed to the heuristics engine of the AV software.

> How hard would it be to craft a malware that has the same signature as an important system file?

If you can craft malware that is digitally signed with the same keys as Microsoft's system files, we got way bigger problems.

> the Big Four academic conferences on security

Which ones are those?

IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, ACM CCS, NDSS

Is there a newsletter/e-zine or something similar that specifically follows research presented at these conferences?

May I suggest 「these」 instead?

Wow.

I'm adding this to my ascii "vocab"

They're CJK 「quotation marks」, so not actually ASCII

Ideally you'd have slides purely for presentation, and an accompanying interactive self-contained HTML document for the documentation of the talk.

And nobody wants to do both (or has the incentive to do both). I'll do sorta-both but probably in an informal way--e.g. article that grew out of a talk--or vice versa.

I've been doing annotated versions of my talks for a while, takes. Few hours of extra effort but greatly increases the impact the talk can have: https://simonwillison.net/tags/annotatedtalks/

Maybe it's because I write a lot but I reached the conclusion that if it makes sense to do an article/blog, I should do so rather than speaker notes--which make sense in handing off a presentation to someone else in a company setting but I'm less sold on, in general, as a personal thing.

> Anchor Positioning

Are there selectors for this anchor relationship? e.g. style anchored element when anchor is on :hover

> I'm scared to mount the vhdx right now [...] I have EVERYTHING I need [...] sitting in a chezmoi git repo ON THE VM.

You probably already know but just in case you don't: you can set up a Linux VM with VirtualBox on your Windows and then mount the vhdx (read-only) as an additional disk to extract the stuff you need via shared folders.
