They use https now, but use CRC for signature verification:

AMD told MrBruh that all update communications now use HTTPS and that updates undergo signature verification. The researcher says he verified the HTTPS claim, but found only a CRC32 check on the downloaded executable, which is not considered a cryptographic signature.

I could be wrong here, but I believe they should use a combination of SHA256 and PGP for signature verification.

The problem with using CRC32 is it reversible and has high collusion rate. An attacker can easily make a file the generates the same hash. This tool a few minutes of searching online. It appears that people who work at AMD don't even know how to do proper research. All they have to do is look up how to make a secure updating process.

I believe they are using a modified version, not 100% sure. But in my opinion they should let the user decide on install.

I honestly blame ISO they should have never approved this format. https://www.ip-watch.org/2008/04/01/office-open-xml-officially-approved-as-international-standard/

Yes, with truth social pre-installed

I have an account but I forgot the password and I used a throw away, so I can't get it back. The problem with blusky it didn't advertise itself very well, not many people even know it exists simular to Lemmy.

There is a fee but it is negligible, you just need to buy on sales. As for indexers just get a one or two life times and it will pay itself over time. I only have one subscription indexer, the rest are life time.

Never buy usenet full price

You can get it some usenet providers for as little as $30 year which is $2.5 a month, maybe ever cheaper.

Lots of them offer trials if you just want to try it

Lime is the issue, I removed it for this exact reason. I mainly use usenet if I want torrents I will look for it manually. Usenet is way safer than torrents from my experience.
