What a whopper of a combo of incompetence and malfeasance! Any sanely competent s/w dev team would have totally easily come up with a scheme to encrypt the videos and upload them to vehicle / owner authenticated areas of some cloud bucket somewhere with audit logging and the employees could have had their activities monitored and audited - looks like it is no one's interest at Tesla to give a crap about their customers.

I had been wanting to read a document on OAuth as I have several things in pipeline where OAuth would be involved and the link you posted is just timely and perfect - so thank you!

This right here. But then HOAs gotta have lawns which also take mowing most of the times by leisurely ridden gas mowers. The leaves on the lawn obstruct water and sunlight from getting to the roots of the lawn and makes the lawn look not green. So now you have to blow the leaves so you can mow the lawn or just mow the lawn to crush out the leaves. Either way there's double whammy of gas and noise ruining your weekends.

The one thing that helped somewhat is replacing windows on my house - new windows seem a lot better at noise reduction. I am also seriously considering synthetic grass and getting rid of the stupid Oak trees on my lawn - I don't think those leaves decompose soon enough!

Short answer is start doing things. Somewhat longer answer - develop interest in understanding deeper level things because when things seem hopeless it's the interest/curiosity that will keep you going. Secondly find things to break and fix - this will give you opportunities to learn wider range of things.

Services are doing good - I guess we can expect more service promoting crap ported over to macOS from iOS.

I don't care about Qualcomm and its ARM offerings for the PC - Windows side there's no reason to and Linux side because hardware longevity will be hobbled by lacking kernel and driver support beyond the first year or two.

You can't really beat Intel and AMD unless you're at least as good as supporting the hardware and peripherals and for as long. I can see Intel and AMD getting better at power use but I have a hard time seeing ARM ecosystem become as open as the PC one.

> With Android 14 comes ART 14, the Android Runtime. Google numbers the ART releases like major software projects now, and because the runtime is a Mainline module, it will be installed on older versions of Android, too. Ever since ART became a Mainline module in Android 12, users on that version or newer will get a better, faster app engine no matter how long their OEM takes to update the phone.

This to me is the most exciting update! With most apps already being updated from the store including the Launchers/Browsers and all Google stuff including Play Store and libraries - adding ART to the list makes the OEMs not updating Android as often problem much less of an actual problem. (It basically leaves the kernel/drivers and maybe a few more super low level things in the problem category - IIRC even the modem driver/firmware stuff is separately updated now a days.)

Wasn't nothing simple about that

That makes much more sense. Naming continues to be a hard computer science problem :)

I use Tasmota on a couple smart wifi plugs and apart from it being very reliable and doing what it says I don't have any development experience with it. But isn't toit a language and jaguar an app as opposed to Tasmota being a complete firmware that merely includes Berry as the runtime?

GPU sandboxing landed in 110 on Windows. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox/Process_model#GPU_... says it will be likely added to OSX and Linux with Webrender. Web Content processes are already sandboxed so I wouldn't say it's a joke ;) - sure they lag behind Chromium but Google has way more resources than Mozilla.

As someone who has built and lightly studied Firefox codebase out of pure curiosity this technical joke doesn't really ring remotely true. Sure it's an older codebase and Mozilla doesn't have enough funding manpower to do big rewrites but I don't remember Firefox crashing on me in recent times and I use it exclusively on Mac/Linux and Windows. No site compat issues either. So stop blowing smoke I guess and provide actual details on how it is a joke?

Woah indeed :) You seem to have figured out how to have tons of quality time.. I mostly was thinking about my personal happiness being in less and me discovering that in my 40s after other things slowed down a bit in life - having a partner and kids you kind of don't always have total control over your life.

In a way after 45 the rush and ocd of younger, inexperienced years subsides you do see life at a slower pace, take more in and that can be a satisfying thing. For me personally the quality vs quantity thing that came more into focus in my 40s.

We can all make our existence so much better by being more empathetic to other people's positions. In this case the maintainer could've just communicated how he would like to see the bug fixed and let the original reporter fix it that way and retain credit.

But he just went and did it himself and then made things further worse by using insensitive language. He could've easily added a line to the patch acknowledging the original fix and the effort that went into it.

Getting the better technical solution in is in most cases not orthogonal to being better humans.

But as it stands, beyond people who get paid for it kernel development is best suited for hobbyists who just have fun figuring things out without any expectation of Internet points.

I keep forgetting my spam email address/passwords lol I have a Google voice number for when I need to use it on forms but I have seen some websites don't accept it - there's ways to determine that it's VOIP it seems.

Yeah I figured as much

Borland's C++ compiler was _fast_. And I mean eye wateringly fast on crappy pre-AMD64 hardware. I wonder if it supports modern C++ today and is still faster than other compilers. (If I am not mistaken this new edition is a offshoot of that?)

(Yeah I am not downloading the "Community" edition if I have to provide my name address and phone number. Really if your product needs mindshare and you offer community edition the least you can do is make it easily downloadable.)

Hmm I have used KDE on all my other desktops for quite some time now and maybe it has crashed couple times and always when using some obscure feature, not open and crash like here.

I remember him from the 2nd hand copy of C++ Primer I bought from someone when I was interviewing for C++ jobs back in the late 90s. It was a little over my head at the time - C++ for dummies was where I was at!

Anyway, rest in peace Stanley. (Also kind of surprised there was no news about his passing in tech circles or HN until after a year - was he not as active perhaps, the last edition for C++ primer was in 2012?)

I put it on my M1 MBP for all of 15 minutes before giving up - I did not have high expectations as I am aware it's cutting edge stuff but it wasn't even remotely usable for me as a daily driver - the touchpad was wonky, konsole kept crashing and also anything drawing on the screen was annoyingly slow. Maybe the desktops work better?

Good on them for trying and I don't mean this as a discouragement but realistically I just don't believe there will be a day anytime soon where it works even as good as standard Linux distro on a x86 laptop now a days. After all not even recent Intel Mac Laptops worked well with Linux.

Maybe the S3 can afford to add more insulation compared to the Model 3? I mean Teslas aren't known for good road noise isolation so if they do reduce battery weight they can add some more for the insulation for example.

Interesting. But seems to only support Windows 10?

Somewhat unrelated but do people have links to share that walk you through taking Llama2 model and feeding it local data - confluence links, Google docs, plain text documents etc. I came across embeddings and langchain but was curious if people had thoughts on better ways to go about it as a newcomer experiment.

> If you are an individual, you can get the generic ISO by donating on Open Collective. And if you are contributing to VyOS, whether you are writing code, improving the docs, or promoting VyOS publicly, we are happy to share pre-built images with you through contributor subscriptions. Finally, you can always build your own images — just follow these instructions.

Sounds fair to me. Truth is there's no good alternative other than pfSense but if you want Linux (hw support etc) I don't know if you can do better than vyos for routers.

TFA == The Fine Article :)

Updated microcode shows 0x08600106 revision so I guess that explains it.

On my Zen2 / Renoir based system the PoC exploit continues to work albeit slowly even after updating the microcode (linked from TFA) that has the fix for this issue. The wrmsr stops it fully in its track.

Edit: just realized it must have been that the initramfs image is not updated with the manually updated firmware in /lib/firmware.

Edit2: Updated the initramfs and even if the benchmark.sh fails, ./zenbleed -v2 still picks out and prints strings which doesn't happen with the wrmsr solution.

13 is debian-testing so I guess Microsoft still has time to make it work - last I checked it wasn't yet on Azure supported list.

> The main issue we've had with QEMU is that it has too many options you need to configure. For instance, enabling your VM to return unused RAM to the host requires at least three challenging tasks

This just works on Hyper-V Linux guests btw. For all the crap MS gets they do some things very right.

X11 is mostly stable though. With Wayland on Fedora/GNOME or KDE a crash or two once in a while is still pretty much something you expect. Hopefully it gets better in less than 20 years :)
