Recall is a legal term for the car industry which includes stuff like reporting obligations. So if the defect meets the severity level of a recall it should be called as such, even if it is 'just' a software update. Ambiguous terms for safety violations are dangerous and may cost lives.
The annoying aspect from somebody with decades of IT experience is - what should happen is that crowdstrike gets sued into oblivion, and people responsible for buying that shit should have an epihpany and properly look at how they are doing their infra.
But will happen is that they'll just buy a new crwodstrike product that promises to mitigate the fallout of them fucking up again.
Screenshots of the UI changes on the Mac - in my opinion it is now just wasting a lot of screen estate for zero benefit.
On non-Macs they're adding an extra usability issue by hiding the top menu bar. I've gove back to 2.7.4 for now - fortunately I had my configuration in git.
Up to 2.7.4:
2.8.4:
Intel is well known for requiring a new board for each new CPU generation, even if it is the same socket. AMD on the other hand is known to push stuff to its physical limits before they break compatibility.
Short version: A bunch of shitty companies have as business model to sell open databases to companies to track security vulnerabilities - at pretty much zero effort to themselves. So they've been bugging the kernel folks to start issuing CVEs and do impact analysis so they have more to sell - and the kernel folks just went "it is the kernel, everything is critical"
tl;dr: this is pretty much an elaborate "go fuck yourself" towards shady 'security' companies.
Making an exception for one organisation, pressured by politicians, would be harmful. BBC has the following policy about neutral reporting:
We don't use loaded words like "evil" or "cowardly". We don't talk about "terrorists". And we're not the only ones to follow this line. Some of the world's most respected news organisations have exactly the same policy
All my software can be configured using dedicated configuration files (.c)
This is OpenDalle with img2img to make an existing picture into a futuristic city.
I took this picture at work a while ago, and it reminded me of cities with brutalist architecture we see in movies now and then, so I tried to get it made into one:
Other interesting attempts:
Forcing it to stay closer to the source made things look more like a highschool cardboard model:
I'm in my 40s and therefore generally in the "get off my lawn, kids" age.
But I totally agree with that article. I've converted quite a few legacy devices with barrel jack to USB-C - and got rid of a huge box of junky old power bricks. Especially for devices I only use occasionally I don't want to search for the matching power bricks - I just want to plug it into one of the 4 USB-C PD sockets I have installed into my desk.
I've finally found a bag which nicely fits almost everything I want to carry every day, and alos makes everything easily accessible - it is about the same size as what I used to carry, but now I no longer need to dump everything out to find what I neede, even with some lose parts still in there.

After my Russian wife was browsing the internal news yesterday to see what level of information is provided over there she mentioned that their solution in the abortion debate is to have everyone give birth, and just give up the kids to be raised by the state if you don't want them.
Also there seems to be a proposal to exclude women from higher education unless they've given birth.
This feature also has the potential of endangering those drivers. If I were a driver I'd definitely not opt in to a function like this.
My kids broke the flap on one of our sockets, so I had to look into getting them replaced.
Initially I tried to make them clip on to avoid having to remove the complete socket for future replacements, but that ended up either weakening the hinges too much, or making it impossible to attach it with the spring in the right position.
The gasket and O-ring are donated from the original flap:
The original flap and the first test prints to check if I got the dimensions right:
The whole thing is over on printables
51% support slower employee response time outside of work hours
Uh, what? That does not compute. Either it's work, or it is not work (and I don't respond to anything, and don't get contacted in the first place)
On the off chance somebody here is familiar with this API: I've spent some time trying to make using browsers somewhat bearable, and tried - with limited success - to re-implement search using find.find, with the search input in a HTML dialog.
The problem with this approach is that the search query itself is treated as part of the results:
So far I haven't seen a way to have that excluded. Does anybody have ideas outside of "throw this away and reimplement with JavaScript"?
The code is here
I've let my google developer account expire quite a while ago after they kept asking for more and more stupid stuff. Nowadays if you don't get paid a lot for it you must be either a masochist or a bit stupid if you upload to google play.
