Whenever I need a bootable USB I always go for ventoy, much easier to just copy over the image.

That said, if you're having a lot of trouble it might be something else, say a bad USB, port or image. I've had devices that can't recognise particular usb sticks or from a particular port for no apparently reason. Sometimes its just cursed.

I don't think it's intended to be enforced very well, just to 'boil the frog' so to say. Either that or incompetence & not realising it won't work.

Even if it passes and isn't enforced well it'll legitimise more surveillance & identity checks. It'll probably be terrible for privacy on people who aren't as tech literate to avoid it.

I think the future of wikipedia looks a bit bleak if they drop archive.today now. They need a decent archiver to function. Internet archive is good but its a single group hosted in the US, plus any site with a paywall isn't surviving on the internet archive very well.

They've needed good alternative for awhile and the need is just growing. I wish public libraries could fill the gap but its probably not realistic. We've had legal deposit requirements for non-print media in various jurisdictions for awhile but i'm doubtful how effective it is, nor is it convenient to access or use for wikipedia.

Honestly, dark chocolate tastes much better than the milky stuff anyway, its way too sweet. Still, i'm not sure how 'healthy' it is compared to anything else.

yea, its a blow to uk user's privacy & security but not caving. Caving would be implimenting a backdoor. Title was a bit of an annoyed initial reaction, sorry there... maybe best to improve it, i'm not sure?

BBC News - Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row

  • "In a statement Apple said it was "gravely disappointed" that the security feature would no longer be available to British customers."

Washington post - Apple yanks encrypted storage in U.K. instead of allowing backdoor access

I guess removing access for the uk is better than backdooring it in silence. But still, not great.

Also, it is interesting comparing compliance on this with complying with the EU on sideloading apps.

basic media literacy is really needed, hopefully it doesn't come with any political bias built in
