Which is a fairly high hurdle for an attacker in most instances.

With software projects training people that curl <link to their install script> | bash is totally fine and the insane amount of supply chain attacks lately it’s a critical bug that’s just begging to be exploited on single user systems.

So yes, patch your systems and definitely do not downplay this.

Could very well be, our family PC running Windows 95 also showed this screen after shutdown, had an actual power button and required manually pressing it to turn off the pc.

So is comparing a Microsoft bug to the highlight of the Apollo project and conveniently ignoring all the setbacks that both led up to and followed it.

I don’t mind bashing Microsoft where warranted, but this just feels like cherry picking from a long list of technical and procedural failures.

Apollo 1:

Fire, I smell fire. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Outlook malfunctioning is extremely tame compared to the issues the early space program ran in to. Somehow this meme really rubs me the wrong way.

He and Michiel van den Bos basically wrote the soundtrack of my youth. Really bizarre to see Siren is struggling to land a full time job. Sad times indeed.

Just, uhh, leave all that shit on IX, with their Axalotl Tanks out of it.

Axlotl tanks aren’t Ixian though, that’s Bene Tleilax tech. It’s basically what’s left of their women.

I’m using the latest GE Proton as well, installed Battle.net through the New Game/App dialog. Just found out that Battle.net does start, but it simply never shows a dialogue and therefore there is no way to interact with it. No taskbar item as well of course.

Solving vague issues with Linux systems is already a big part of my day job and last week was pretty rough, so basically the choice boils down to :

• Spend energy I honestly do not have on whipping Faugus into shape.
• Keep using a working Lutris setup, even though it is AI slop.

Neither appeal to me at the moment. 😞

Edit: the irony, just as I was about to give up an update for Faugus appeared, installed it and Battle.net now runs fine. 🎉

Thanks, but unfortunately it fails to launch Battle.net for me. Not really in the mood to debug that further at the moment, guess I’ll stick to other games for now.

On my system it was the only thing that actually managed to get the Battle.net launcher to work. Sigh, time for another hunt for an alternative I guess.

If they wanted to live, they shouldn’t have signed up to kill people for the empire. Instead of following orders, they can refuse them.

Guess at least it’s good to see there isn’t any difference between Americans and Russians after all.

I would definitely not recommend doing 45 on a German highway, or any other European highway for that matter, unless you’re in a traffic jam. 😋

He ends the thing prematurely right after

No shit, they were going proactive on those new chemicals after all.

Lol, should I be impressed? I own a pair of Apple AirPod Pro’s, bought them in part because I worked with a MacBook at the time and admittedly they worked together very well. They now live somewhere in a drawer, to be forgotten for all eternity, as that is the only fate they deserve.

Sound quality (music)? Might be taste, but nothing to write home about.

Reliably connecting with anything that’s not an Apple product? Lol

Firmware upgrades if you don’t own an Apple phone? Rofl

Had to return them twice because of a manufacturing error (there even was an official replacement program) and Apple, being the cheap-ass SoB’s they are, would only replace the right pod as that one had issues. So of course two weeks after my set was returned the left one started acting up as well.

But the cherry on top: the other reason I bought them was the noise cancelling. It was during Covid and I would work in the same room as my GF, so being able to not having to listen in on her calls was necessary for me. The original pods had fantastic noise cancelling, where the replacements did an absolutely and utterly shitty job. The most important feature, the justification for their existence: removed. Great job Apple, great job.

Never again.

Sorry for the rant, the hatred runs deep I guess.

I suspect this is some kind of console error? I’ve only owned a SNES before becoming part of the PC master race, so just like the kids of today this early millennial has no idea what he’s looking at exactly.

For some I agree. But the response to the “I’m comfortable in my role” one I really dislike.

It should be fine to be satisfied with your position instead of having to eternally strife to a reach a higher step on the ladder. If that’s what somebody really wants, it’s ok and they should go for it. But for others that mindset will just end in a burnout and it should be applauded if they are able to recognise their limits. Work to live, not live to work.

To be honest, Mint is no better in that regard on my laptop. Closing my laptop and pulling the power adapter always results in the system not going to sleep mode, but remaining active. Opening it will actually cause it to resume going to sleep. Really annoying.

Yes. Because I’m absolutely in a position to do anything about this, seeing I live at the other side of the world and do not have the American nationality. NSFW would have been nice.

Having said that, fuck ICE. Hopefully they’ll end up in a gutter after your current regime collapses.

Reminds me of the time I ran a FreeBSD webserver from home, compiling Apache from source took the better part of a day. But still good times, learned a lot from that experience.

Fedora was one of the first to get rid of pulseaudio and replace it with Pipewire, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

Here it’s 112, my first time was when I was stranded on the emergency lane of the highway. I was driving a van and parts of one of my tires were strewn across the right lane.

In my country you’re supposed to call the emergency number when your car breaks down on the highway, even when you’ve made it to the emergency lane. You’ll be towed to the nearest safe place by a salvage company, at no expense. Of course, how you get underway again from that point is your own problem.

At any rate, before you get towed they’ll usually display either a big red cross (to indicate a closed lane) or a reduced maximum speed on the matrix signs (present every few kilometres on most highways) for the adjacent lane to make the situation a bit safer.

In my case they closed the right lane to prevent cars hitting the debris of my tire and to make sure that the government agency in charge could clean up the mess. It was unfortunate to see how many people just ignore the red crosses.

I also learned about rethreaded tires that day. We bought that van not too long ago, the tire profile looked as if they were quite new and should have lasted for thousands of kilometres at least. But apparently revising tires by stripping of the old threading and basically glueing on a new one is a thing. In our case the thread came off suddenly. So screw that shit, only new tires for me.
