I hear you, but also I would be shocked if Apple were to roll this out and it be an absolutely terrible experience. Like their MO is “luxury” products with “premium” experiences, it would not be fitting of the brand to have a piece of crap experience on their flagship announcement.

I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.

That’s why it’s spelled creme and not cream. The FDA has standards for milk content in anything labeled cream, but creme doesn’t mean anything.

How do I schedule a steam download manually?

There’s this game I’m trying to download, and it’s big enough that it’s going to take several days of continuous downloading to get. I have about half of it so far. I want it to download during my scheduled auto update hours, and pause in the morning when I wake up. Sounds simple, right?...

I believe it should be 8 hours no?

sleep should be blocking and should stop the next line (or part after an &&) from executing.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Instagram's unskippable ads test causes outrage among users (www.techspot.com)

Instagram has long been accused of stealing features from platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter/X. It appears that the company has looked to YouTube for its latest idea: unskippable ads that you have to watch for a period of time before being able to scroll further....

Does the form factor between 3.5" and 2.5" matter in a NAS server? (slrpnk.net)

Been finding some good deals on 2.5 disks lately, but have never bought one before. Have a couple of 3.5 disks on the other hand in my Unraid server. Wondering how much it matters wether I get a 2.5 or not? What form factor do you prefer/usually go for?

It’s possible the “mystery” they refer to could be related to the identity of the hacker(s), how it got onto the routers in the first place, or the purpose for the attack

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

In my limited understanding, they almost certainly do not because if they did client devices would struggle to decode some non-standard format.

It’s probably a DRM limitation.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users.

Same here lol, just read through ext{2…4} as well as Btrfs and Bcachefs (and B Trees of course). What a wonderful unplanned deep dive.

But also, there’s no real incentive to change… my brownies taste just fine with a 1/3 cup of oil and a 1/3 cup of water. I am sure they would taste just as good with 80 g of each, but if it works, why change it?

What logic is there in saying grams are better than cups of both work well for the intended task? If I were a professional baker, it’s entirely possible I would have a different opinion, but I (like 99% of Americans) am not.

subtext ,

But what I’m saying is I’m plenty accurate enough with cups… there would be no appreciable difference for my box of brownies.

subtext ,

I was going to say, I doubt your pet tabby is killing any California condors at any appreciable rate.

Amazing how easy it is to bias people with data though.

subtext ,

The problem with this philosophy is that it’s basically how ads started on the internet and now we’re here.

Oh it’s just a small, non-intrusive side bar ad, thats okay… oh it’s just ads on both sides… oh it’s just an additional ad on top and on the bottom… oh it’s just an easily dismissed pop up ad… oh it’s just a short video to watch before I’m allowed to see the site… repeat ad nauseam (no pun intended)

subtext ,

It also breaks your ability to do some actions with steam such as changing your email address because god forbid you enter the TOTP instead of pressing accept or something in the app

This is currently me, wanting to update my email but not wanting to go through the hassle of changing my authenticator back to my steam app then re exporting the key to put it back in Bitwarden.

So frustrating that they have to be ✨special✨ with their authenticator algorithm AND ALSO require the app for people who have reverse engineered it.

You could at least put the command in a spoiler or add a /s to make sure some random new user doesn’t follow the advice

Would another less complex answer simply be that many (most?) people and organizations use RSA because it was first and elliptic signing is not yet as prevalent?

As the other person said it’s likely that xz is already installed on your system, but almost certainly a much older version than the compromised one. It’s likely that no action is required on your part assuming you’ve not been downloading tarballs of bleeding edge software.

As the other person said, just keep doing updates as soon Mint recommends them (since it’s based on Ubuntu LTS, it’s a lot less likely to have these bleeding edge vulnerabilities).

I genuinely don’t understand if I missed something here, and would love more explanation.

It’s the 46 upvotes that have me concerned that many people do not in fact see it as a joke

Not regular Fedora, though, it was only in Fedora Rawhide and Fedora 41, so very very early, bleeding edge distributions. Nothing that a regular Fedora user would be using.
