Yeah, doesn’t feel like a great outcome to have this now pretty gargantuan conglomerate in music tech, but at I guess least it keeps the tools people use supported for now

The fixes were supposed to be in place by the originally planned disclosure date in a week, however someone independently released details of the exploit so they were forced to disclose early and now we’ve got this situation

Basically all running versions of Linux.

Fixed versions (from here):

• 5.10.254
• 5.15.204

I’m not sure which distros have managed to build and release the new versions of the kernel yet (if any). Most of the big ones have posted mitigations

Yes, always keep your shit updated

But, that wouldn’t help here, this vulnerability was just dropped without fixes released in the past 12h or so

Given I think even the highest end of SSD is only just touching 15GB/s and RAM about 100GB/s I think?

I do wonder how long it will be before we actually see these transfer speeds

Makes sense I suppose

Who is buying a new motherboard if all the other components are significantly overpriced?

At least for me, I only get a new motherboard if I want a new CPU that my current doesn’t support

Now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a while

I coveted the das keyboard with blank keys for a little while long ago

“depressing”

Why does it need to be in quotes

Yes

Now, I know one of the reasons Piefed exists and has had success is down to how people don’t like the political views of the main Lemmy devs.

That said, I’ve gotta be honest, the personal opinions of the Piefed dev seem to have a much more tangible impact on the software than the other guys. This is definitely not the first instance of subjective default post filtering being built into the software.

Given the demographics of the fediverse I’m surprised this kind of clandestine moderation hasn’t had more of a pushback.

I actually knew about rathergood and all the animations long before his foray into advertising, that was how I originally made the connection years ago!

I was in secondary school at the time and lunches during winter were basically spent watching the golden era of flash animation in the computer labs

Joel Veitch really cashed in on rathergood.com at the right time (assuming this isn’t just a rip-off of his style)

There was a milkshake advert he did in the same style in the UK

I was about to say, this sounds like market collusion

Wouldn’t the free-market capitalist thing for them to do in this situation be to take the knowledge their competitors can’t compete with them and use it to squeeze them out of business?

Literally if they do anything else with this information it feels like it has to be pretty textbook collision

And in an instant, the last remaining remnants of value you could get from humble bundles are gone.

I don’t see how game bundles like that aren’t going to just end up half slop

Kinda

In a normal transaction without a phone you use a plastic card issued by MasterCard/Visa/Amex (or a local processor). The processing company charges a merchant a small percentage fee on that transaction to the business. In some places they might add that processing fee to the bill, but that’s illegal in my country nowadays.

When you add Google/Apple into the mix, they’re importantly not replacing anyone, they’re just adding themselves in to basically just replace the “plastic” part with “virtual” in what I said before. So the payment processor still takes the same fees they always have, it’s just a phone talking to the card reader rather than a chip in a card.

So how do they make money? I believe Apple just charges the bank a small percentage, which I imagine they reconcile out of the payment processor fees. Google, on the other hand, I think offers it to banks for free, because as is tradition, they’re more interested in the data.

That photo is giving cosmic horror for some reason
