As someone who owned a 1993, a 2000, and a 2008 BMW in succession, I cannot believe anyone would buy the pieces of crap they have turned into.
I stopped buying them when they started piping in fake engine noise into the cabin and dropped all pretense that the cars would last beyond the lease period (I don’t buy new cars).
It looks like they have gotten much worse.
My favorite is the scanning device interface driver protocol.

Technology Without An Interesting Name
Back in High School in the 80’s me and a buddy wrote a Z-80 editor assembler in TRS-DOS BASIC.

Why would a telecom company care what the content of the bits they are being paid to transmit?

You are correct. My comment did not correctly convey my attitude that I appreciate Gimp even though it has taken me quite a while to figure it out.
It takes a while to figure out how selections in Gimp work.
It whenever you select you have created a mask and when you combine it with layers it can get very confusing.
If you accidentally select a small bit you cannot edit anything else. I think that is what OP is referring to.
There is a tool that shows you what you have selected that can help.
IMO Gimp isn’t very well documented so you can get stuck for a while before you understand what is going on.
Not an expert, but I don’t think replacing the TPM chip is an option.
How did you run a memory test? Do you get a command line?
This picture does not look like what happens to a car when it is hit by a train
This looks like something that I would find extremely cool if I had any idea what it was.
If they recorded at that speed for 1 hour and played it back at 1 frame per second, all the time since the Big Bang will have passed before they get through 40 minutes of recording.
Dammit we need a law against slap suits
This is why we can’t have nice things
I am sorry. But who is doing this and why?
