    Competent Politicians are well aware that they're not experts on everything and hence hire domain experts to help them understand those domains and actually make informed decisions about them. Mind you, I suspect this specifically is more a side effect of the profound problems with Dishonesty and Cronyism that the UK has: basically they tackled drought as a negative perception of the Government problem, so set up a talk group to project the impression that the Government was doing something about it and chose as head of it (and to be well paid for it) somebody whose greatest qualification for it was being their mate, all of which is very typically in British power circles. The natural consequence of such things is them producing fancy press releases which look absolutelly moronic for domain experts, but since most of the people who read such releases are not domain experts, that's usually fine and in fact advances the true purpose of that "group" (managing perceptions). Even with the Tech Press internationally picking this up and making fun of it, since the very same people who play these power games over there also control the local Press, they might very well get away in Britain itself with a press release with even such a moronic idea as this, as it will be spinned to make them look good.

    I feel like we're skipping steps... This kind of tech is incredible and has huge potential. But it needs vast amount of energy and we're making the planet uninhabitable by the minute. If we first developed tech to have clean energy, I would be overjoyed. Here I feel mostly dread.

    It doesn't imply that at all.

    So they're conducting security audits in line with best practices post executive terminations, and, as a result, security updates are being delayed up to 6 months. They're also recommending alternatives for the time being for those who may be targeted (example being human rights activists). Considering the reasoning, I can't hold this against them. Also considering many are still rocking android 10 or iOS 15, this update pause (hopefully just a pause) isn't the worst thing in the world.

    The poll, published by the research firm and the Walton Family Foundation... Walton Family Foundation provides financial support to The 74. What kind of fool would believe anything from these grifters? Phony AF at its face.

    I could see some exception for windows 11 IoT being made, but I honestly don’t know.

    You could look into automatic local caching for diles you're planning to seed, and stick that on an SSD. That way you don't hammer the HDDs in the NAS and still get the good feels of seeding. Then automatically delete files once they get to a certain seed rate or something and you're golden. How aggressive you go with this depends on your actual use case. Are you actually editing raw footage over the network while multiple other clients are streaming other stuff? Or are you just interested in having it be capable? What's the budget? But that sounds complicated. I'd personally rather just DIY it, that way you can put an SSD in there for cache and you get most of the benefits with a lot less cost, and you should be able to respond to issues with minimal changes (i.e. add more RAM or another caching drive).
