Windows 11: Ihr Scalper könnt eure TPM-Chips behalten!

Weil Microsoft bei Windows 11 auf TPM 2.0 setzt, decken sich Scalper mit Modulen ein. Für die meisten Desktop-CPUs ist das aber unnötig. Ein IMHO von Marc Sauter (Windows 11, Microsoft)

Update 3:45 pm EDT 6/30/2021: After a short delay due to weather issues, SpaceX successfully launched its Transporter-2 mission on Wednesday. While the rocket's second stage entered a nominal parking orbit, the first stage safely returned to a landing zone along the Florida coast. This was the company's 20th launch of this year, a cadence of one mission every nine days.

Update 12:15 pm EDT 6/30/2021: SpaceX is preparing, again, to launch its Falcon 9 rocket carrying 88 small satellites for a variety of customers. The 58-minute launch window for the Transporter-2 mission opens at 2:56 pm EDT (18:56 UTC) on Wednesday.

Nothing has been made official, but several sources report that Tuesday's scrub just 11 seconds before liftoff was triggered by a charter helicopter carrying sightseers in the "keep out" zone for the launch. The webcast for today's launch, embedded below, should begin about 15 minutes before the window opens.
