You're right, I had it wrong. Misinformation deleted.

You're right that light is not "a wave and a particle depending on whether you observe it". Instead, light is a quantized field. It is a field because it exists at every point and allows for wave-like behavior such as superposition and interference (both things seen in all fields, like waves in water or radio, etc.). But it is quantized because when the field interacts it does so via photons which can only exist in integer quantities. This quantization of interaction of the underlying continuous field gives us all the "weirdness" we see. Okay, not quite all of it, there are still even weirder parts of quantum mechanics, but it does explain the double slit experiment.

Measured boot requires secure boot to be enabled as one of its components.

The real value of measured boot is when paired with full disk encryption as it protects against boot loader attacks that can compromise your sealed keys.

Ahkshually that would be the K'Chain Nah'ruk, not the Che'Malle

Only if they aren't using customer provided encryption keys (is using blob/bucket storage) or an equivalent approach to encryption at rest, and make sure they're doing standard TLS for encryption in flight.

It's absolutely possible, and standard for any decent organization, to build their cloud architectures to fully account for the cloud provider potentially accessing your data without authorization. I've personally had such design conversations multiple times.

Yes, ICE, the 22 year old agency is definitely something the US can't do without. Certainly didn't manage fine without it for the vast majority of our history as a country. Fucking hell.

Yup, because that's how adjectives work

The real complaint is people who refer to women as "females" which makes them sound like ferengi. Saying a "female engineer" is just correct grammar. Some folks have instead, lacking a capacity for nuance (and language) taken this to mean that there is an issue with the word "female" in general.

I read it originally from a poster on a privacy/security reddit who was reporting their personal experiences. It isn't the most reliable source but in this context I consider it worth accounting for anyway, as what the person described experiencing is both possible and plausible. For anyone who is serious about preventing these sort of privacy breaches, the open wifi vector should absolutely be considered and guarded against if possible (easy but less comprehensive approach would be to see if there is an airplane mode on TV, harder but more reliable is to physically disable or shield the wifi module on the TV itself).
