SFC has worked numerous times for me, usually for botched updates. Haven’t used it in a long time after leaving tech support

I took a peek in a recycling bin last time I was at Target and saw a handful of vapes in there, this would be a good place to start.

That’s how I’m reading it at least

I believe the “non-commercial use only” is regarding the subtitles themselves, not the code. Im sure any commercial use using stolen subtitles from other services wouldn’t go over well

This is just a theory, I don’t have knowledge of the inner-workings of either Linux or Windows (beyond the basics). While Microsoft has been packing tons of telemetry in their OS since Windows 10, I think they fucked up the I/O stack somewhere along the way. Windows used to run well enough on HDDs, but can barely boot now.

This is most easily highlighted by using a disk drive. I was trying to read a DVD a while ago and noticed my whole system was locked up on a very modern system. Just having the drive plugged in would prevent windows from opening anything if already on, or getting past the spinner on boot.

The same wasn’t observed on Linux. It took a bit to mount the DVD, but at no point did it lock up my system until it was removed. I used to use CDs and DVDs all the time on XP and 7 without this happening, so I only can suspect that they messed up something with I/O and has gone unnoticed because of their willingness to ignore the issues with the belief they’re being caused by telemetry

Uhh do we know if this extends to sites.google.com?

I still can’t do half the stuff in the windows settings app that I could in the control panel, and every update removes an option in control panel without an adequate replacement.

Inb4 “use Linux” I DO but Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED (even with v555) and when I’m done with work I just want to load up a game and not have to fuck with drivers and never actually play. Sue me.

The CVE has to do with the utility not correctly identifying private IP addresses supplied to it in a non-standard format, such as hexadecimal. This would cause the ‘node-ip’ utility to treat a private IP address (in hex format) such as " 0x7F.1…" (which represents 127.1…) as public.

This is a ridiculous expectation. Providing addresses in an unsupported format doesn’t yield correct results? Who wouldda thunk it. Clean up your fucking code and pass it in as expected, or make your own damn node-ip.

My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can’t wait to send this to him.

I’ve been using them on both my phone and desktop, works great!

I know, the joke was there and I had to take it. I wholeheartedly agree with you however

I have and use a Microsoft account. I would always setup my computer offline because I don’t want my home folder to be called "myema"[email protected]

Seriously who thought that was a good idea? Your account literally has your name tied to it, call it that!

Even Google products have a longer lifespan 😖

I’ve since moved on to Tidal. Bought it at $30 when root mods started to be developed, but never really went anywhere.

As a Thinkpad user since the early 2000s, I’m extremely excited to see this news after I’ve slowly watched all of my repair & upgrade ability be removed.

Not sure if you’re referring to telegram or signal. If you’re referring to signal:

Is it private? Can I trust it? - Signal Support

Signal conversations are always end-to-end encrypted, which means that they can only be read or heard by your intended recipients. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time.

The complete source code for the Signal clients and the Signal server is available on GitHub. This enables interested parties to examine the code for security and correctness.

I’ve heard the 24.04 installer is having issues. I would hold off for an update for them to patch other stuff as well

Not on fedora, but on Neon with a 3070. KDE 6 will lock up on Xorg, while electron apps will flash on Wayland, though there is a flag to enable Wayland support, it keeps dropping off of discord every time it updates. Running nvidia 550 proprietary, haven’t gotten to use the open ones yet as I need cuda for work

I am not as worried about DMCA as the author is lol

Mythbusters: Driving Drunk Vs Mobile Phone

Edit: Episode Part 1/3 Part 3/3 (I couldn’t find 2/3 anywhere annoyingly enough)

TL:DW: They found driving while using a cell phone is potentially as dangerous as driving drunk. They scored lower in their crash course while on the phone

Important to note:

• They didn’t mention how much alcohol was consumed (or they did in the episode and not in this clip, give me a break I found this in 2 minutes on the shitter)
• They show them taking a breathalyzer test. Im going to assume they were testing to be over the limit to get a DUI (.08% in the US), though it’s not shown or mentioned A clip of part 3/3 says that they stayed below the legal limit (@ .065%) so they would NOT be legally intoxicated
• The sample size is like, 2. Not very statistically accurate, as mythbusters is entertainment and not a real scientific study
• Theyre on a closed course. No pedestrians, no stop lights, no other drivers, no “unpredictable” variables in which you would need your reaction time, which would be impaired if you were drunk
• Theyre using flip phones held up to their ears, on a phone call. Results probably vary (though are probably worse) texting vs a phone call and on modern devices vs old ones

No real claim either way to one being worse. Moral of the story being get off your fucking phone and don’t drive drunk and you dont need to worry. [email protected]’s claims aren’t necessary wrong, but they’re not necessary right either
