I often think the best way to defeat email open tracking would be for a mainstream email client to prefetch every image when a non-spam email is received and cache it for 72 hours or so.

Every email gets flagged as “opened,” so the flag is meaningless, and recipients can see the images without triggering a tracker.

Some of the big providers already do this, notably Apple and Gmail:

People stopped using dedicated TPM about 10 years ago exactly because it's trivial to sniff it.

Nowadays you use the fTPM built inside the CPU. And if you don't trust the CPU maker, well, you have bigger problems.

mmh0000 · 4 days ago

You really shouldn't trust the CPU maker.

On Intel & AMD, both have a "hidden core" (i.e., a 4-core processor is really a 5-core processor), and they run proprietary, closed-source operating systems that literally no one outside of Intel or the NSA has any idea what they do.

We do know it has full access to the fTMP, RAM, and Network.

We also know that the NSA has a special contract to obtain Intel processors with the IME disabled... Why would they want that if the processors were trustworthy[1]?

The Costco lights list a CRI of 90 in the user manual.

Costco sells a ceiling light that does 24k lumens for just over $100.

mmh0000 · 5 days ago

The problem with lights like that is the CRI[1].

Getting just lumens is cheap. Getting a full spectrum of light is where costs increase.

This is the reason I chose to go with the specific Cree bulbs (linked in original post) that get a 90+ CRI rating

I'm doubtful that knowing how much politics matters, but only in a vague way, would have been enough to help them. Could someone who was obsessed with following the Trump administration's every move have predicted the tariffs in advance? I don't think financial markets priced them in?

He literally said he was gonna:

"Trump vows massive new tariffs if elected, risking global economic war"

This is super interesting, and I'd actually be quite interested in buying a 60K-Lumen lamp... but not at $1200.

Years ago, there was an HN article "You Need More Lumens"[1], which in turn led me down a rabbit hole.

I ended up purchasing:

   4 standard table lamps from Target,
  28 2000-lumen Cree LEDs bulbs[2] and,
   4 7-way splitters[3].

The end result is somewhere around 56,000 lumens. And I LOVE it. Makes me much happier in my home office, especially in the winter months.

You really think mom & pop business that have limited IT skills have 5k laying around for some minor violation like not deleting an older email?

mmh0000 · 6 days ago

The GDPR really isn't that hard to follow, for a "mom & pop" business, it really comes down to:

  * Limit data retention — Don't keep personal data longer than necessary
  * Honor data subject rights — Allow individuals to access, correct, delete, or port their personal data

Simply, don't collect personal information if you don't need it. If you do need it, add a delete button.
