I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

EDIT: uh uh there are a lot of people reblogging this, so i figure i may as well append this now while i can lol

This whole thing was very much cranked out in a few hours so I had a visual to talk about with a friend! If this gives you a base understanding of paneling, that's awesome! Continue to pull in studies from the comics you see and what other artists do well and don't do well! You can tell paneling is doing well when the action is flowing around in its intended reading format.

Here's the link to the globalcomix article from which I pulled the images about panel staggering! Someone sent in a reblog that it wasn't totally clear that the 7th slide mostly covers what NOT to do in regards to staggering, and that is my mistake!

I saw in a tag that someone was surprised I used MamaYuyu too, and I don't blame them lol. If I had given myself more than a couple hours maybe I would have added something else on, I just really admire MamaYuyu's paneling personally.

uh uh, final append: I am by no means a renowned master of paneling, so if you find anything off base here, by all means, counter it with your own knowledge and ways you can build upon from here! Art is always a sum knowledge of everything we find. 💪

Microsoft says having a TPM is "non-negotiable" for Windows 11

How to use rufus to make a usb installer to bypass requirements for those who are interested.

Here's how you can bypass Windows 11's CPU, TPM, Secure Boot, 4GB RAM, and other requirements. You can apply updates on incompatible PCs too

This requirement has been proven to be pointless and offer nearly no security benefits whatsoever because of vulnerabilities. All it really does is make any computer pre 2014-2019 and many computers even made during that period completely incompatible and obsolete.

It is literally an arbitrary requirement to force upgrades and fill landfills.

Example of why it is actually pointless and should not be a requirement:

Flaws could allow hackers to steal cryptographic keys and other sensitive data

“These new TPM 2.0 flaws are buffer overflow vulnerabilities discovered by Francisco Falcon and Ivan Arce from Quarkslab who are warning that they could impact billions of devices.

The vulnerabilities in question (tracked as CVE 2023-1017 and CVE-2023-1018) could be exploited by an attacker to escalate privileges and steal sensitive data from vulnerable devices. This would completely negate the added security that TPM 2.0 chips were designed to add to Windows 11 in the first place.”

It is also advisable to disable bitlocker automatic encryption of drives not only would it impact performance but makes pc repair, drive migration and other things usually impossible if windows fails like it tends to do.

Starting with Windows 11 24H2, when you perform a clean install or reinstall the OS on a device with a TPM chip and Secure Boot enabled, all

There are also documented examples of the government extracting tpm keys for bitlocker to break the encryption

The Intercept has a new story on the CIA’s—yes, the CIA, not the NSA—efforts to break encryption. These are from the Snowden documents, and

And the fact it can be cracked by someone determined enough with enough knowhow.

YouTuber shows how BitLocker can be cracked in less than a minute

So it doesn’t offer any real world security. Just makes recovering your files in the event of failure or damage to the computer a major pain, if not impossible by any practical means.

It is more pointless entropy for the illusion of security and raising hardware requirements.
