Those always say stuff like "idk", "not my field" or "I'm still working on that"

#

The point of research papers is to go from theory to conclusion with no gaps in the proof - it's just that they are often too complicated for laymen to understand

if GPT doesn't know it, it's probably fair to assumoe no, given that if there was one - media fuss would be all over it. or at least it would hallucinate. though, not 90%

reality is not meant to be simple

thank you for telling them that science is not about claims
and if anything if it is a bit about claim it does not make it science but simply academic bias and problems

you are defending as if i was picking at research papers, but here I was talking about science communication, which is often done poorly.
I am talking about what I hear on YT, for example, from sciShow, Veritasium, on web articles (news, simplified sumamries of actual papers).
||I wasn't saying it's all there is, just that it is there, and happens fairly often.
maybe just because that's the state of some fields - used to throwing mindbending theories as facts (aka in astrophysics)||

Here's example of the misleading rethoric given by chatgpt:
(the process is star turning into black hole)
it seemingly replaces requested observational evidence with believed

tldr actual scientific communication must improve
but please don't confuse that with random YouTube video talking about anything technical

#

science is much more serious than that

if you want to do actual science
then be extremely picky about your sources
even if lot of videos are "cool" they are nowhere near able to provide inspiration about facts

and that's mostly why I hate online current networks

showing archive video of cars going 300km/h and saying "it's been done !" : cool
actually realizing the things imply an gigantic amount of preparation conditions and or risks
which almost no one is doing in their normal life
"it can go at 300km/h" is not the reality
it's simply the conclusion validated data

#

just for the clarity of things:
this is the message after which we started talking about science communication.
the message itself was about how you replied.

I am fine not discussing how science works sometimes

wanton orchid
#

except Youtube talking about science is NOT
science popularization
it's spreading of science(or not actually) RELATED TALK

dire igloo
#

if you didn't understand what I mean, I'll elaborate for you:
this guy studied environmental science. this guy is well-educated about how nature on this planet behaved and what shaped our planet to be what it is. that's his exact field of expertise.
he is then presented with one of the most poorly proven pieces of pseudoscience out there which just so happens to fall into his field of expertise.
he KNOWS what is correct because he has studied that shit.

in a more easily understandable fashion, do you know about the visual "proof" that pi=4? imagine showing that to a mathematician, he'd react about the same way that milo did in the video I sent you.
and if you don't know: you put a circle or radius 1 inside a square of sidelength 1. you then remove corners of the square to approximate the circle - circle's circumference is pi, square's circumference is 4.
these don't change over the course, but the square more and more closely approximates the circle - so in the limit, you get them to match perfectly which means that you have a circle shape (circumference pi) that has a circumference of 4.
Ergo: pi = 4

instead of picking at each other we could just do research when there are questions.

I'm not saying science communications does not present scientific work to broad audience

that "presenting scientific talk and results to a broad audience" is not in itself science communication

Science communication encompasses a wide range of activities that connect science and society. Common goals of science communication include informing non-experts about scientific findings, raising the public awareness of and interest in science, influencing people's attitudes and behaviors, informing public policy, and engaging with diverse communities to address societal problems.

I know that it is failing, evidenced by the growing popularity of pseudoscience. That's why we need MORE science communication, not nitpicking about which communicators actually work scientifically.
if they present science in any understandable non-misinformative manner, they're doing science communication. if they fail to proactively provide sources, that sucks, but if there are sources, they can be provided

and about respect: the worst example are the people that demand respect while saying of themselves that their respect has to be earned

Mai-Thi Nguyen Kim talking about basically everything as a chemist and receiving high honors (Bundesverdienstkreuz)

also: just because everyone who failed was not a scientist, doesn't mean that you need to be a scientist to be successful.

I'm arguing a different angle here

wanton orchid
#

you are scientist if you are able to pull all this care for actual things and their actual meanings

then that's just a super broad understanding of scientist

communication is a practical tool
not a magic "social" thing to be naive about

meaning that you have to be actively working in a given field to count as a scientist

A scientist is a person who researches to advance knowledge in an area of the natural sciences.[
and wikipedia agrees with me:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientist

A scientist is a person who researches to advance knowledge in an area of the natural sciences.
In classical antiquity, there was no real ancient analog of a modern scientist. Instead, philosophers engaged in the philosophical study of nature called natural philosophy, a precursor of natural science. Though Thales (c. 624–545 BC) was arguably th...

I think the word that better matches what you both talk about is journalist
as in someone who investigates topic, without necesserily needing to theorise or experiment in it

wanton orchid
#

and the common understand have roots
you can do an average of all the inconsistent and opposite way people use a word
you have the extract the only way it mostly make sense and is consistent ACCROSS these common use

dire igloo
#

you have to do actual research that advances knowledge to count as a scientist.
a science communicator can be a good science communicator without researching anything - and they also don't need to advance humanity's knowledge nor do they need to intend to

#

with this definition of scientist, you do NOT need to be a scientist to be a good science communicator

#

and importantly: you don't need to be good at it to count as a science communicator

wanton orchid
#

again
maybe you didn't know but :
communication is not that easy
people often have partial reasoning about what they are talking about
they choose words that are most practical but not most accurate at any moment
if you take it too literally it does not make sense anymore
the semantic exists in the way the word is actually used
not in the way you simplify whatever idea you think people was formulating

the point of science communication is outreach, not accuracy

What analogies are you going to use? How will it hold up when that person retolds what they have learned?

wanton orchid
#

science is not only about research

dire igloo
# wanton orchid it's not science your communicating then

I'm not saying to be intentionally misinformative.
but if simplifying a scientific topic helps you make it more understandable, then you should - and then specify later on.
as long as you do a good job of reducing misinformation and misrepresentation, you can absolutely sacrifice accuracy for understandability

#

examples: neglecting air resistance and friction when discussing newton's law of motion

soft bloom

And yet again: science COMMUNICATION(!!!!), the ONLY TOPIC OF THIS ENTIRE DISCUSSION, is NOT about writing papers
Scientific papers are IN NO WAY RELEVANT to discussing science COMMUNICATION

Yeah, that is just documenting what was done, and what the doers/writers think they found.
But you need some kind of text to pass the information along effectively in the first step.
From the original group to rest of the world.

Just that those texts are very dense and expect you know a lot of the specific niche already, so they are almost impossible for anyone to read who isn't already in the specific niche.

Which brings that other concept in.
How to dissiminate the overall picture and make people interested to take it in.

Hard to get a concise picture from those linked messages. My response exceeds the message limit, so you'll get multiple messages.

#off-topic-tech message
"I have multiple proof of it" never provided any.
Besides: that's just what you want good science communication to be, that's not about definitions. and if that's how you define SC, get off your high horse.

#off-topic-tech message
idk what resukt means, but I doubt it's relevant. missed these messages, sorry for that, will give my two cents now. I agree that science communication should have a minimum level of quality, but one of the biggest issues is that we lack the quantity. also, the higher we put the bar for good quality, the more we sacrifice quantity - and with the ultimate goal of science communication being accessibility, obsessing over quality will only make it worse.
Scientific research is a matter of scientific quality, science communication is a matter of communicative quality.

#off-topic-tech message Yes it is. You're probably a shitty communicator, but still a communicator. Failing to do it doesn't mean you're not doing it.
Also: your english sucks.

#off-topic-tech message idk where I claimed that smth can't be missed. and for "scientific person": I elaborated why SC doesn't require the communicator to be a scientist.

#off-topic-tech message i fckn agreed with that?

#off-topic-tech message yet again gatekeeping science communication by limiting it to good SC. also, SC aims to reach those uninterested in science, not just those that are already interested.

#off-topic-tech message sounds like custom definition, elaborate or idc. or you're saying "only good SC counts as SC" again

#off-topic-tech message Never disagreed with that statement, unless you say "the actual thing" requires high accuracy, then that's not the goal of SC

#off-topic-tech message I already said the 300kmh example didn't make sense to me

#off-topic-tech message by definition, that's science communication. it's not scientific research, but it's not meant to be either.

#off-topic-tech message doesn't make sense, probably language barrier here. anyways, YT and ChatGPT aren't scientific, I agree. YT is a platform for SC tho.

you: "science communication should provide people with the information they need to make their own conclusion"
me: "that will only reach the already interested people. these people will get the info anyway, science communication should also reach those that aren't actively searching"

and SC fails primarily because people perceive science as an ivory tower that you somehow need references and experience and degrees for, SC fails because science isn't accessible, at least less accessible than pseudoscience

#

the goal of science communication is primarily bridging the gap between experts and laymen - getting someone with zero prior knowledge to be informed about an important topic.
and a logical consequence is that science becomes accessible which means that pseudoscience has a harder time spreading and manifesting in people's minds

Two modes for any all drive encryption, full that also encrypts free space, so it cannot be seen as free when encrypted, and that any data leftovers will be encrypted.

Check Settings, Privacy & Security, Device Encryption

sour glen
#

Sry been a while since I tried to mess with it.

twin dew
twin dew
# wanton orchid no I meant partial as it only encrypt some files

Device Encryption is a Windows feature that enables BitLocker encryption automatically for the Operating System drive and fixed drives. It’s particularly beneficial for everyday users who want to ensure their personal information is safe without having to manage complex security settings.

When you first sign in or set up a device with a Microsoft account, or work or school account, Device Encryption is turned on and a recovery key is attached to that account. If you're using a local account, Device Encryption isn't turned on automatically.

Unlike BitLocker Drive Encryption, which is available on Windows Pro, Enterprise, or Education editions, Device Encryption is available on a wider range of devices, including those running Windows Home.

And BitLocker doesn't have any mode that differentiates which files are encrypted.
It is all or nothing, only with that free space encryption selection.

sour glen
#

Ah and u just turn off device encryption?

twin dew
sour glen
#

Ah ok. See I was pressing manage bitlocker (right under it) and then it said needs pro all those yrs ago (still does for that part)

twin dew
#

In current Win 11 Home 24H2 while that was enabled, I was able to manage and disable in the normal BitLocker management screen.
But that isn't available now that it is disabled on that laptop.

#

And didn't have earlier experience on it.

sour glen
# twin dew Yes.

Thanks. And that’s literally only if my PC was physically stolen right, not sacrificing any other security turning it off? (Doesn’t matter to me since I only use this pc for gaming).

twin dew
#

Just makes it harder/impossible to modify/read the contents of the drive when it isn't in same machine and OS.

wanton orchid

The only difference is how those backup recovery keys are handled.

#

MS account vs. on the user.

wanton orchid
#

it has had at least at some point a difference

twin dew
#

Or just bad info getting propagated.

wanton orchid
#

no problem in you never heard of it
but basically it would only encrypt user directories (probably to save speed)

#

it especially is not recoverable from external tools
unlike bitlocker format

sour glen
#

Any suggestions for the stuttering? I mean I seem to get stutter in games that r prone to it after doing some research but space marine 2 isn’t reported for having bad stuttering so idk if that’s a me or game issue (so hard to tell those days, especially with every UE5 game stuttering like mad).

#

I did the DDU already

#

And not crashing now

wanton orchid
#

now if they basically just perform bitlocker whole device
it's way better for recovery

twin dew
wanton orchid
#

only need to ask Microsoft the key then

sour glen
#

FYI I left it on, but if I ever need to turn it off at least Ik I can. So thanks for that

twin dew
#

And it is recovable same way as normal BitLocker.
Just that that recovery key storage is different.

#

MS account and not stick or paper you have.

sour glen
#

Before I was wiping my pc every time I did a bios update.

wanton orchid
twin dew
#

And you need to check specific place in the MS account management web pages to get it.

twin dew
#

Some random conversations where people think Windows user password is somehow relevant.
When the whole point is that the encryption keys are stored in TPM, and BIOS and OS bootloader are attested and checked to be unmodified before TPM releases the keys.

twin dew
#

Technically speaking, Windows 11 does not encrypt your entire system disk, which
is divided into different logical volumes. Instead, it encrypts the C: drive, which is
the volume that contains Windows and other system files. (This drive is often referred
to as the system disk.) Any other volumes on this disk will not be encrypted (nor
visible while using Windows 11).

#

And neither does full BitLocker, which encrypts whichever partitions you select.

#

And as one major point of Device Encryption is to protect "outside" modification of the OS, by moving the disk to another computer or using another OS on same computer, "just" doing C:\Users\ would be counterproductive.

#

And that would need file system awareness to do.

#

Windows does have separate folder/file level encryption system tied to users password.

#

But that isn't in use by default.

wanton orchid
#

ngl I feel like you just forgot I know very well how the whole system partitioning layer filesystem etc process goes
I never implied efi partition being unencrypted would make bitlocker partial
Windows always show partitions as devices
bitlocker is a partition thing
what I'm referring to is inside a partition

wanton orchid
twin dew
#

Yes, I have understood.
And I have not found single source to say that Device Encryption works like that.
Only the opposite.

twin dew
#

And has been available for LONG time.

#

Since NTFS 3.0 in Windows 2000.

wanton orchid
#

now officially that's for usb stick

#

but it could have been what was going on automatically earlier in windows 10/11 previews or something
because that pointed toward that kind of unsupported format

#

again
if it now is bitlocker full partition format
then it's nice

#

it's at least that much less bullshit from Microsoft

twin dew
#

Do you have any source for that memory you have about it not being normal bitlocker from the start?

wanton orchid
#

I will try
it's sparse

twin dew
#

And that was the point.
You seemed to have hazy possible memory of Device Encryption at some point being less complete.
But you didn't bother to try to verify that.
And I couldn't find anything that would have suggested that on quick searching.

#

Only the opposite.

wanton orchid
#

iirc it could be in libcrypt documentation notes
it's not the most reliable but these devs knows the real shit
so I would not expect them to miss that actual format used by automatic encryption

twin dew
#

libgcrypt?

wanton orchid
twin dew
#

Which was never a problem?
I didn't realize you thought I hadn't understood your point that it somehow only would have been encrypting some files.

wanton orchid
#

"oh you mean bitlocker unencrypted free space"

  • "no I do not : detail and arg"
wanton orchid
twin dew
#

Because Device Encryption IS and always has been BitLocker, just with reduced user control.

wanton orchid
#

So I was like "no that's not what the technical aspect of what I'm talking about"

twin dew
#

Then provide any source that talks about there being difference.
As I cannot find any.

#

It might have been that limitation that they cannot open non-protected BitLocker volumes.
Which Device Encryption is until you do that MS Account attachment to Windows where it can then upload that recovery key.
Basically during Windows 11 install, it starts encrypting everything since partition format.
Just doesn't enable that TPM attestation stuff etc.

And CryptSetup doesn't seem to support unencrypting BitLocker partitions in that mode.

#

So if you install Win 11 Home, don't use MS account, and don't disable that "waiting" Device Encryption (Encrypted but not locked behind TPM), then it cannot access that partition.

#

As possible thing behind this mixup.

#

Because basically with Win11 Home, that BitLocker is just partially enabled since start of actual installing of new OS.
But only gets fully activated once you log into MS account.
And in that in-between state CryptSetup (at least at some point), didn't support accessing that kind of BitLocker volumes.

#

Just because they haven't coded in the parts to read the key in that specific weird state.
As it is "useless".
You seem to be able to do the same with regular BitLocker by using password auth with empty password, again it cannot access that volume.

#

Just CryptSetup not supporting specific completely useless (completely unprotected to any Windows) mode.
That gets used with Windows 11 Home Device Encryption from install to first MS Account login.

#

Or until you manually disable that waiting Device Encryption.

wanton orchid
#

make sense

#

I'm not on my pc so it's way harder to gather sources
but you well explained it

charred relic
#

I am shit with graphical art...

#

shit i tell you! manure!

wanton orchid
#

though did you find a specific information / explanation on the "waiting bitlocker state" from install thing ?
I'm interested in at least bookmarking it

charred relic
#

Bucket is easy enough. I'd say that's an improvement for the enclosure labeling...

twin dew
#

Need to try to find some proper source.
Going from memory right now on that.

But basic idea is that Windows 11 Home installer enables Bitlocker from the moment the drive is formatted.
Just doesn't actually protect the encryption key until recovery key is saved somewhere, by logging into MS account later in the install process when it then gets saved in MS cloud.
To not have any extra CPU usage to encrypt the drive after that etc.
Or any unencrypted "old", deleted, data in the free space.

#

And I expected then that works by saving the encryption key in the spot in BitLocker meant for Password unlock mode key, that is normally encrypted/decrypted with that password.
Just doing it with empty password.

charred relic
#

i might need to find a starving college kid that does graphical art on the cheap...

twin dew
#

Trying to find a source for that soon.

#

Need to eat my breakfast first.

#

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-bitlocker

From older version:

BitLocker automatic device encryption starts during Out-of-box (OOBE) experience. However, protection is enabled (armed) only after users sign in with a Microsoft Account or an Azure Active Directory account. Until that, protection is suspended and data is not protected. BitLocker automatic device encryption is not enabled with local accounts, in which case BitLocker can be manually enabled using the BitLocker Control Panel.

OEMs can configure hardware to support Windows 11 automatic device encryption.

wanton orchid
twin dew
#

And IIRC there is specific type icon for that mode if you completed OOBE without MS Account.

#

And that encrypted but not protected mode is active still.

wanton orchid
#

things like truecrypt always makes extremely care to never push the drive key in a way enough material is there to decrypt it

twin dew
#

And the primary source:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/operating-system-security/data-protection/bitlocker/#device-encryption

Unlike a standard BitLocker implementation, device encryption is enabled automatically so that the device is always protected. When a clean installation of Windows is completed and the out-of-box experience is finished, the device is prepared for first use. As part of this preparation, device encryption is initialized on the OS drive and fixed data drives on the computer with a clear key that is the equivalent of standard BitLocker suspended state. In this state, the drive is shown with a warning icon in Windows Explorer. The yellow warning icon is removed after the TPM protector is created and the recovery key is backed up.

Learn about BitLocker practical applications and requirements.

wanton orchid
#

"so that the device is always protected."
I hate you Microsoft
I fucking hate you
you can't fucking grasp how fucking much I want you to shut your shit up Microsoft

wanton orchid
#

(but bad for recovery ofcourse)

twin dew
#

Yeah, I'm not sure on where that unprotected key is stored.
Either on disk in that password key slot with empty password.
Or TPM with just no limitations on who can ask for it.

#

If in TPM, then that drive cannot be moved to another computer and read in any way.

#

If in that password mode encrypted key slot on the disk, then it could be.

wanton orchid
#

on disk means no protection
in tpm it mean no recovery outside computer state

twin dew
#

Yup.

wanton orchid
#

I mean it says tpm enrolled
but suspended before that
so it's unclear when exactly in time it gets enrolled

#

and it's unclear how accessible is that tpm key

twin dew
#

I'll try to test that in next few weeks when I have to do Windows install anyways.
I can set old computers drive to BitLocker on, in Suspended state, and try to move it to another computer and see if that works or not.
If in TPM, it won't.
If on disk, it will work.

wanton orchid
#

I hope beside being tpm managed it's not further tied to windows

twin dew
#

Or install Win11 Home and see what happens, before doing the actual install.

wanton orchid
#

for bitlocker state it's explicit
suspended mean you can move it around

twin dew
#

Which means that the key is stored unprotected on the disk.

wanton orchid
#

yes
but when active bitlocker also have recovery keys

twin dew
#

So that password mode with empty password would be most likely.

twin dew
wanton orchid
#

here it's ambiguous because it's says tpm after suspended like
but then how tied is it really ?

twin dew
#

That Recovery Key is actually just the actual raw encryption key.

#

Or something that can be converted into that with some simple hash or like.

wanton orchid
#

sounds like it yep

twin dew
#

It is long string of numbers as you get it.

#

So cannot be the raw one, but something that gets converted.
As it isn't a hex string, but just decimal numbers.

wanton orchid
#

but I'm not talking about bitlocker then
but about that partial state without recovery key (I mean not saved)
tldr : is the tpm key guarded or not

twin dew
wanton orchid
twin dew
#

And then gets enrolled to TPM with attestation protections when recovery key has been saved in MS cloud with MS account login.

#

Like normal full Bitlocker with manually managed recovery key.

wanton orchid
#

so you say "when ms account linked" ?

twin dew
#

Only difference is that recovery key management.
MS Cloud on your MS Account vs. manual management.

twin dew
#

If the device isn't Microsoft Entra joined or Active Directory domain joined, a Microsoft account with administrative privileges on the device is required. When the administrator uses a Microsoft account to sign in, the clear key is removed, a recovery key is uploaded to the online Microsoft account, and a TPM protector is created. Should a device require the recovery key, the user is guided to use an alternate device and navigate to a recovery key access URL to retrieve the recovery key by using their Microsoft account credentials

If a device uses only local accounts, then it remains unprotected even though the data is encrypted

#

I expected that if you had more questions you would have actually opened that page and read on.

wanton orchid
#

it's simply the abstract sounded like it's tpm enrolled even before recovery key is linked to account
which means either the tpm key is guarded and screw everyone
or it's not guarded and you can open the drive as long as you are on the same machine

twin dew
wanton orchid
#

ok ok
noted

#

again sorry not on pc
I'm even struggling to write messages

twin dew
#

So TPM attests that BIOS and OS haven't changed.

#

Before releasing the key when asked.

#

Well, the unencrypted parts of OS bootloader.

#

Which is why it must be set to Suspended mode for BIOS updates.

#

Or you will need that Recovery Key on next boot.

#

As that attestation of BIOS/UEFI will fail.

wanton orchid
#

yep

#

and it's also why suspend = roam able

twin dew
#

Wasn't sure if Suspend just sets TPM to mode that allows the key to be asked always (disk still cannot be moved to another machine and accessed).
Or stores the key on the disk without protection (can be accessed on another machine)

#

Which was the point of testing I was planning.

#

Because I have not tried to find which is the case via outside sources yet.

wanton orchid
twin dew
#

MS explicitly says that it is same as normal Suspended Bitlocker.
But point is that I'm not sure myself what actually happens when Bitlocker is put into that Suspended state.

#

But probably that unprotected key on disk.

wanton orchid
twin dew
#

So if TPM wipe is allowed in Suspended mode, then the key must be on the disk during that.

wanton orchid
#

yes

#

and that's why I don't like bitlocker

#

I suspect it's always suspended temporarily even when you do manual bitlocker setting

#

nsa shit backdoor like

twin dew
#

Trades security for usability.
Not as secure as some of the alternatives.
But for wide adoption, that is needed.

#

Better than not having even BitLocker for lot of things.

wanton orchid
#

completely agree on this

#

but I don't like it in a professional setup where you enable it manually and save recovery

#

on that side it's a bit scammy

#

it should never be suspended unless explicitly requested when bitlocker is used manually

#

but as I said
I suspect it's suspended first

#

because it ask for a reboot to lock it

twin dew
#

No, with full BitLocker it goes to full protected mode on enable.
And Suspend is always manual selection, IIRC for just one restart and automatically goes back to full protected mode after next reboot (when I have had to suspend it for BIOS updates on my laptop).

#

Don't use it on desktops, just the laptop.

#

And only starts to encrypt when you enable it.

#

No pre-encryption waiting for activation like that Device Encryption.

wanton orchid
#

ok then it's better than I thought 👍

twin dew
#

And of course you could just decide to not suspend and just input the recovery key on next boot after BIOS update or like.

#

Or on moving the disk.

#

Just that inputting them is real pain.

wanton orchid
#

then the only annoying part is no way to input recovery key efficiently when doing maintenance
the windows default recovery screen is very very clanky

wanton orchid
twin dew
#

36 digits

#

Dorry, 48

wanton orchid
#

I'm not even sure if you can edit it

#

it just override

#

useless pain

twin dew
#

Made typo in calculator... did 6*6 for some reason when it is 6*8 (eight sets of 6 digits)

wanton orchid
#

I did have to input it when I swapped GPU

#

Was happy

twin dew
#

Yeah, but point that I would rather suspend for BIOS update, even when that is theoretically less secure, than input that recovery code after.

#

While in theory that can leave the raw key on FLASH cells for some time, just in block that is marked as unused but not yet erased.

#

Because recovering that needs lot more than normal access to that SSD.

wanton orchid
#

imo the best would be to create temporary fast reload recovery keys
(big password stored on a usb stick basically)
that way it would be both fully secure and fast

#

the key would be then override again anyway

#

no chain break

twin dew
#

BitLocker already supports that?
You can use TPM, USB key, or Password.

#

And switch between them whenever, or even enable multiple at same time via console.

wanton orchid
#

I didn't see a usb key mode option to go to
sorry

twin dew
#

GUI side only allows one at a time.

wanton orchid
#

ok ok
great
so my way would be usb key before bios update
sorry I didn't find it

#

should search ui option better next time

twin dew
#

Ah, not on GUI at this time.
Only password or smart card or TPM.

#

Or I might be misremembering, found how to require USB key in addition to TPM so far.

wanton orchid
#

So usb key is an option I must study
and tldr : "suspended" is a bit misleading wording
I would call it "degraded"

twin dew
#

But trying to see if JUST USB key is allowed.

wanton orchid
#

it needs group policy settings to show up apparently

twin dew
#

The one I found reference for was to use USB key and/or password in addition to TPM.
But not sure if USB key without TPM is option.

#

Ah, Win11 things.
That is why I remembered just USB drive as option.

#

When I was setting up BitLocker on that laptop while still on Win10.

wanton orchid
#

but there are other options maybe ?
this looks like the real ui for commandline like settings

#

I will check that when I get on my computer 👍

#

nice to learn how to properly use bitlocker so it's actually secure

twin dew
wanton orchid
#

but if we set requirements for "either tpm or startup key" maybe it'll work ?

twin dew
#

Numerical password.
Full password.
USB key with key file on it.
Certificate.
TPM
possibly some others.

twin dew
#

On Windows 11.

wanton orchid
#

one day I'll maybe learn the windows certificate api
I want to know how do you build a Smartcard connector driver/software basically

wanton orchid
twin dew
#

On Windows 11, I only get this in the GUI side.
But IIRC on Win10 there was option also to just use USB key.

#

And that config should be possible still with that command line tool.

#

By adding USB key protector, and removing TPM protector.

wanton orchid
#

that "allow startup key with tpm" sounds like it though
otherwise it does not make sense as tpm will always unlock it

twin dew
#

That should combine both in some way.
That you need that TPM and that USB key both.

#

When that USB key is enabled.

#

And that Require version requires the person to create USB key.

wanton orchid
#

then what is difference between require and allow ?
gui settings ?

#

ok

#

a bit stupid to not allow disabling tpm protector when having usb key setup on gui

twin dew
#

TPM is always in use.
Then settings if USB key in addition is:
Not allowed at all
Optional to create, needed if created.
Required to be created.

wanton orchid
#

especially if commandline allows it still

twin dew
#

Lot of more advanced parts in Windows where you cannot get full range of options via GUIs and need command line or powershell to adjust.
ReFS and Storage Spaces both for example as things I have had to use.

#

Lot of boot manager related stuff too like that.

#

And remember that in most cases, just USB key is less secure over all than TPM with attestation.

#

As that USB key contents are completely unprotected. As it is just normal file.

#

So it is now offered as additional factor.
But not as only one.

#

Better than fully suspended Bitlocker.

wanton orchid
#

way better than fully suspended bitlocker, especially for a temporary use (do not reuse the same keyfile)

#

latest 572.16

twin dew
#

Which seems to have various issues with it.

#

So try the previous 566.36

sour glen
#

This keeps appearing too with crashes

We had horizontal tearing so we invented Vsync
Now we have vertical tearing

the 5070 TIE will be 6% faster than the 4070 super TI

MARK MY WORDS

cuz it has 6% more cores

sour glen
# twin dew So try the previous 566.36

It was Nvidia shadowplay instant replay feature causing it! I turned it off and no issues now. Kinda annoying cause I do use that. But I’m gonna assume they fix it next patch.

pure karma
#

the entire nvidia app is a big no no

#

and dont even get me started with the fact that depending on what you play that clip feature can easily use like 25GB of space per game sesion

#

in just straight clips

#

and the audacity to have it on by default is wild

jagged snow
#

"This feature exists, thus the user must want to use it"

#

"As such, we're going to add more features so the user can use our software more"

wanton orchid
#

I've deleted shadowplay to use obs instead since forever, it's been a long time since nvidia started to actually work with obs devs

sour glen
jagged snow
#

Obs is professional quality broadcasting software

#

If it uses more resources than you want, your settings are wrong

wanton orchid
sour glen
jagged snow
#

For sure

#

I'm just saying, you have the choice to make it super light on resources if you want

#

And there are some addons to let you start and stop recording with keyboard shortcuts

wanton orchid
#

it does not need addons

jagged snow
#

And (iirc) even on that gives you game clip functionality so you can just have it running and only save 30s

wanton orchid
#

you can set those in vanilla

jagged snow
sour glen
jagged snow
#

Oh yeah that's really not the case

sour glen
wanton orchid
#

in obs you can actually fine tune what it uses

jagged snow
#

I'm aware

wanton orchid
jagged snow
#

I've worked with obs in a professional capacity before

wanton orchid
#

discord being discord

jagged snow
#

Ahh, no worries hehe

wanton orchid
wanton orchid
sour glen
#

Yeah but it just doesn’t seem to use that many. I just wanna know if it has parity to shadow plays quality for the same resource usage. My fps doesn’t take a hit from it at all.

#

If u setup rifht

jagged snow
#

Yes

#

If you set it up right, quality:load will be the same or better than shadowplay

sour glen
#

Got any good tutorials u watched to set it up right or is it pretty basic to setup?

#

So far ins hadowplay im recording at 1440p at a bit rate of 90 at 60fps

#

Also what’s the best version of it to download? It’s on steam, windows store and browser ofc. Any best source to get it from?

jagged snow
#

It doesn't really matter

#

Windows store or their website is where I'd go but that's just preference

twin dew
#

Also, Windows has Shadowplay equivalent in Game Bar too.

#

If you don't want to go to OBS level of complexity.

jagged snow
#

(which has been flaky and unreliable when I've tried to use it and iirc requires some extra software now)

sour glen
twin dew
#

When using OBS on defaults, with GPU compression, and no overlays etc. it uses very minimal resources.
But if you tune it for quality etc. with CPU encoding and so on, you can use a lot.

sour glen
jagged snow
#

Yes

jagged snow
wanton orchid
#

and you can set same in start and stop

#

for toggle

sour glen
#

Was bout to say keybinds r a must too. Haha. Can u take screenshots with it? While replay is on too?

wanton orchid
#

one HUGE thing with obs : is you are free to have add-ons on your scenes to show gamepad inputs etc later one
AND YOU CHOOSE THE CAPTURE METHOD (every game is different, especially online game play cat and mouse with cheaters)

wanton orchid
wanton orchid
#

you simply would have to change your encoding settings to use the other vendor acceleration

sour glen
#

Well I got shadowplay to work without the games crashing by allowing it to record my desktop too. Is there any reason anyone can think of other than drivers being bad atm that would cause that? It crashes when I’m alt tabbing when it’s only allowed to record games

wanton orchid
#

if you installed vanguard esea faceit eac it may be the culprit

#

now faceit is very not likely to be intrusive, while vanguard is on the other side of the spectrum

#

(as in changing your computer behavior)

#

typically here is my sweet spot settings with gtx 1080 ti replay buffer

twin dew
wanton orchid
#

I record 1280x720 lanczos full pass from 2560x1440 for efficiency (enough resolution to keep all the important details of what is going on while leaving small files)

wanton orchid
#

but mostly allow full screen record

#

which "desktop record" is permitting

#

especially league of legends for instance

#

show black screen with vanguard unless you are in "capture desktop" mode

#

which is screen recording

twin dew
#

But why would that anticheat cause crash on stopping of recording.
Wouldn't it cause issues when starting a recording?

sour glen
#

Yeah it’s not anti cheat cause the first game I installed to test the issue was doom eternal (due to its crazy good optimisation Ik if it failed the crash test somethings up lol).

wanton orchid
#

it could do weird stuff when you alt-tab

twin dew
#

And it is crashing the whole GPU driver.

#

If I understood that correctly.

wanton orchid
#

root anti cheat like vanguard fucks around with drivers calls

#

that's why

#

I specifically talked about these anti cheat

sour glen
#

Anti cheats r so useless. They seem to get in the way of things too like allowing games on steamOS/linux and they don’t seem to help the cheating crisis rn

#

If it wasn’t for them I’d be playing on Linux instead. Windows 11 is the worst lately and Linux is stupidly compatible with gsme thanks to steam deck. I’ve never used Linux but certainly would give it a go if it wasn’t for that

pure karma

#

btw you could do Intel/amd igpu encoding on hybrid setup with obs
which you also can't with shadow play

And IMO, in general, the PC enthusiast demographic is becoming very apathetic

verbal raft

#

The reason we talk about tech less is that from 30 series launch to now there's been basically nothing to talk about except how bad of a deal the new tech is and how the x3d cpus are still the best

#

So it's no surprise that everyone is a bit less chatty

jagged snow

Oh right
The same way it was 5 years ago

Its kinda the same story for the last what 3-4 years?

jagged snow
sharp oasis

Yep

verbal raft
#

: (

jagged snow
#

I've lost interest in talking about new tech because the most interesting tech to me is still the stuff from 5 years ago because that's what I can actually afford

jagged snow
#

And so I've really started to pivot my interests to cool things other than gaming anyways

sharp oasis
#

Others laugh at it but I frankly love my 6900XT it is quite the card even to this day.

jagged snow
#

Gaming is a hobby but I've really been trying to do more with all my tech in the past few years

#

And gaming doesn't hold anything new and exciting for me

verbal raft
#

ive been thinking about buying a 7800 XT or a 9070 if those come out at a good price

sharp oasis
#

My interests have branched more and more into rally and cars and different games and more into overclocking then really ever before. Im dabbling in linux, blender, ect. Yk.

jagged snow
#

I only own or play one game newer than satisfactory

sharp oasis

Almost all my games really now are older then satisfactory

I still play eve online for hecks sake

probably not

Reading book by Arushanov M L

He points out how application of greenhouse effect to atmosphere is erroneous because convection dominates in troposphere. Aka, unlike in literal greenhouse, where air is trapped, in troposphere hot air expands and rises while cold air shrinks and sinks.

I mean, how would you percieve it if instead temperature line was on top of co2?
they both vary, relatively to co2 temp is both up and down
resolution of single pixel is thousands of years which is quite a margin
so outside of correlation, that, as you pointed out, breaks in undefined 'present', it conveys nothing

also I really have hard time believing that there's linear relationship between the two. but it can be.

Just to show what that EPICA Dome C meant.

soft bloom
#

A parcel of air rises and expands because of the lower atmospheric pressure at high altitudes. The expansion of the air parcel pushes outwards against the surrounding air, and transfers energy (as work) from the parcel of air to the atmosphere. Transferring energy to a parcel of air by way of heat is a slow and inefficient exchange of energy with the environment, which is an adiabatic process (no energy transfer by way of heat). As the rising parcel of air loses energy while it acts upon the surrounding atmosphere, no heat energy is transferred from the atmosphere to the air parcel to compensate for the heat loss. The parcel of air loses energy as it reaches greater altitude, which is manifested as a decrease in the temperature of the air mass. Analogously, the reverse process occurs within a cold parcel of air that is being compressed and is sinking to the planetary surface.
