On target marketing and the ultimate programmer's monitor, and a marketing opportunity to any Samsung, LG or Sony wanna be

A) There is one major step to "peak flat panel monitor" technology and that is active nano-aerials tuned per wavelength (RGB etc), which will eliminate the problems with various LCD (brightness, color gamut) and OLED (burn in) tech, from the point of view of programmers, digital graphic artists and other "dekstop" crowd computer users. We've seen this tech in development for a little while now, for example with articles over at New-Atlas: Nano antenna amplifies light by a factor of 1,000 https://newatlas.com/nano-antenna-amplifies-light/16460/ Optical antenna may allow LEDs to replace lasers in host of devices https://newatlas.com/nano-optical-antenna-led-laser-optical-communications/… Graphene optical lens a billionth of a meter thick breaks the diffraction limit https://newatlas.com/optical-lens-one-billionth-meter-thick/41588/ Single photon emission from graphene quantum dots at room temperature https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05888-w Let there be light: Controlled creation of quantum emitter arrays https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/05/170522080752.htm So no burn-in, tuned (perfect gamut) spectrum production, high lifetime and durability, maximum efficiency, infinite contrast (like OLED). That's active nano light emitting devices on the horizon, and what glorious ocular abundance we shall "soon" indulge in :) B) In the meantime, ye olde hacker or Gimp photo shopper "just wants" LOTS of pixels, a large display with lots of pixels, a curved display (really for anything beginning at ~40" (16:9 aspect ratio) and above, probably with a 21:9 super wide display format. Oh, and lots of pixels. So how large is ideal for a desk bound keyboard code jockey? Large enough to cover a goodly portion of muh field o' view! Probably around the 55" mark tops, may be a bit less, but again, it simply must be curved, and at an ideal viewing distance from screen of under a foot (30cm for the rest of the world thank you very much), we needs lots of precious pixels - "8K", but stretched out to 21:9, is: 8960 x 3840 pixels, around 50 inch diagonal, 21:9 aspect ratio That should be enough for anybody (with no apologies to anyone!). So lots of pixels. Finally, you can have either black or white external decor, but the inside edge MUST be held by white plastic! For those who sit real close (and use a top or bottom of screen button/ icon/ window bar), a black (or metal/gray) internal clamp holding that beautiful screen in place, is a notable shadow! So strict white on the inside to minimize "internal border" shadows, and black or white or as you please on the outside. Today we're on the way, with LG pumping out a rather nice but oddly un-curved ultrawide 5K2K monitor. If it were curved, I'da bin beggin, borrowin and savin to buy one, but since it ain't curved, there's just one too many deficiencies to bother: 34" Class 21:9 UltraWide® 5K2K Nano IPS LED Monitor with HDR 600 (34" Diagonal) https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34WK95U-W-ultrawide-monitor In other words, this monitor, if it were curved, is roughly two thirds of the ideal monitor: just give it white internal clamp sections to avoid those internal border shadows, and expand it to the above resolution and size and boom, we're done! 1st world "problems" hey?

Spooks: Dell Computer Spends Wad on Supply Chain Security

https://www.zdnet.com/article/dell-announces-new-solutions-for-its-supply-c… https://corporate.delltechnologies.com/en-us/newsroom/announcements/detailp… An interesting public move, the game is afoot... Snowden/PRISM... Google encrypted internal links. Was it Dell boxes in the "implant room" picture? But that was many years ago. This is a new big $pend, so someone big got fucked recently, the story awaits a good investigative journo who can get the scoop. https://www.zdnet.com/pictures/all-the-major-intel-vulnerabilities/ #OpenFabs , #OpenHW , #OpenAudit "PC maker powerhouse Dell announced today a flurry of new enterprise security solutions for the company's line of enterprise products. From a report: The new services can be grouped into two categories, with (1) new solutions meant to protect the supply chain of Dell products while in transit to their customers and (2) new features meant to improve the security of Dell products while in use. While Dell has previously invested in securing its customers' supply chains, the company has announced today three new services. The first is named SafeSupply Chain Tamper Evident Services and, as its name implies, involves Dell adding anti-tampering seals to its devices, transport boxes, and even entire pallets before they leave Dell factories. The anti-tampering seals will allow buyers of Dell equipment to determine if any intermediary agents or transporters have opened boxes or devices to alter physical components. The second supply chain security offering, named the Dell SafeSupply Chain Data Sanitization Services, is meant for tampering made at the storage level." " Dell SafeSupply Chain is currently available in the US for commercial PCs. Dell Technologies Secured Component Verification on PowerEdge Servers will be available by the end of the calendar year 2020. Dell EMC Data Sanitization for Enterprise and Data Destruction for Enterprise Services are currently available. Dell EMC Keep Your Hard Drive for Enterprise and Keep Your Component for Enterprise Services are currently available. Dell Technologies PowerEdge UEFI Secure Boot Customization is currently available. iDRAC security updates will be available by the end of the calendar year 2020. Dell EMC OpenManage Ansible Modules will be available beginning January 31, 2021. "

The Aryan Superman

"... I do love Jake. Not in your "kabeesh", "rubbing shoulders" way, or another strange expression. He is my friend and I believe him. He is not a "Superman"... He is just a guy full of scars, fears, and traums, trying to live his live... Please, stop being so unfair..." He can live his queer life quite happily with Batshit Crazy now. They can get married. But if he ever goes back to his bad old ways defending the rapist Nazbol criminal, Asshat then I will track him down and kill him. Slowly. My trial - his funeral. Let them decide whats fair.

Cryptocurrency: Chainalysis Stifling Crypto Adoption Begs Tort, Privacy Coins, More Darknet Markets

> https://decrypt.co/50405/darknet-markets-have-made-more-money-than-ever-in-… > > Chainanalysis cops They and their business model of fucking you and your private trades over, spying everyones lives, feeding the tax men tools to support more murder and war, perpetuating fintech GovCorp regulation regimes, etc... will die off when people wake the fuck up from that dataveillance nightmare and create and shift to better privacy coins over better darknets and RFNets over new p2p DropGangs enterprises. Their biased Anti-Freedom report didn't say a word about ZEC and XMR, and even those two are legacy privacy coin designs that will die from having to carry around their ever growing blockchains. They failed to mention the names of any current markets, especially all the ones where you can buy and sell all your housewares, makeables, computer parts and gig services, cars, etc... including distributed markets like OpenBazaar and others. Nor did they mention not just any privacy coins, but any privacy services such as JoinMarket, CashFusion, BlockDX, Bisq, etc. But they do still love writing about Marijuana, and supporting proselytizing advocating conspiring in facilitating and provding direct consultancy to GovCorp perpetration of countless CRIMES of THEFT, and to banksters locking peoples business livelihoods, etc... https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/silk-road-doj-seizure-november-2020 https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/united-states-files-civil-action-forfe… https://go.chainalysis.com/2021-Crypto-Crime-Report.html People really should start filing tort and civil rights claims against Chainalysis and the other companies doing the same thing. There are thousands of test cases over 10 years to choose from. And these companies have mountains of evil GovCorp money readily mineable by good attorneys willing to work on contingency. In fact, its probably easier / profitable to mine them than to mine bitcoin, and lawsuits bog these corps down with disruption delay and intimidation of legal uncertainty environment in the process ;) Call it fair payback for stifling raping and FUDding crypto adoption and promise of peace love and crypto freedom around the world.

Quantum supremacy with Chinese characteristics

In a completely different direction, one could try to use BosonSampling to generate cryptographically certified random bits, along the lines of my proposal from 2018, much like one could with qubit-based quantum circuits. https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=5122 And now for something completely anarchist...

" Darkness " = Harkness Its just a mnemonic, deer. There's so many Nazi-Fag-Moron-Eunuchs on this list. I'm hoping to change it to " Deportee ' quite soon. "... sucking the cock of the latest anglo-US-jew government agent ..." Sucking Jacob APPELBAUM's cock on this list. That's crazy-brave for a Nazi-Fag. That'll put you in real good with yr Nazi-Fag-Moron mates, Gramps and the Dipshit.
