the online part is pretty terrible advice. the online platforms are filled to the brim with fake job listings and the real job postings have many applicants (because it’s too easy to send a resume). going in person will definitely get you more responses and that’s from recent experience. at least in Montreal when I was still a student I must have given a total of 5 printed resumes at random places (McDonalds Canada computers restaurants etc) and I got answers for all 5 of them (and the latest one was in 2023)
I remember having friends who kept complaining that they couldn’t find jobs, because they were looking at indeed postings for fast food or grocery store positions while I never applied online for these kinds of jobs and I got a 100% success rate
TPM and trusted computing/boot chains are some of the single most important security measures that we’ve had in the last decade. I can agree on the kernel level stuff though that’s a bit bullshit even though I understand why low level access is needed for some anti cheat tasks and DRM prevention. I think there should be APIs provided instead of having to install unknown modules
