kplex··on CrowdStrike says it isn't to blame for Delta's flight cancellations after outage
Wait, were Crowdstrike seriously suggesting giving their staff physical access to Delta systems at airports across the world having just nuked those same systems through incompetence or negligence... what....
kplex··on Apple Vision Pro review
Have been waiting on Norman Chans review over at Tested, he's been a consistent and reliable reviewer of VR/AR for years now. That plus Adam Savage++
kplex··on AMD CPU Use Among Linux Gamers Approaching 70% Marketshare
I'm due an upgrade to my gaming rig core soon, currently running an old 3950X with a 4090.

AMDs crippling of new game releases by paying to have DLSSv3 support omitted (most recently Jedi Survivor, and looking like Starfield) has completely soured me on the company. I don't feel inclined to support that behaviour financially with my next rig.

Not sure I particularly trust Redhat after what they did to CentOS.

Make My Day on Netflix now makes a lot more sense.

kplex··on Go 1.17 Release Notes
Worth it if only for the go.mod tidy-up, how that made it into a release in the first place baffles me.
kplex··on Interview with CEO of rsync.net: “no firewalls and no routers”
Is rsync.net related to rsync the project?
kplex··on Fastmac – A macOS instance or Linux shell
Bit risky with a company org if they decide it violates TOS does that just impact the offending repo, or the entire org?
kplex··on Show HN: CState – open-source Hugo powered status page
The part that looks most interesting to me, the API uptime integration doesn't appear to have any instructions on how to reproduce the example shown in the README - all that seems to be provided is the ability to add a link in a custom tab. The example image looks aspirational rather than something currently supported (probably worth making that clear).

If the ability to monitor uptime/health, or at least integrate with services that provide thatinformation, which is rendered on the status page would make this really cool.

kplex··on Bosch develops rapid test for Covid-19
Am I missing something here or does this look rather over-engineered and with limited capacity - 10 tests per device per day - I assume the device is the large central unit.
kplex··on Oracle Swings the Layoff Axe
Who is actually spending money on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? Is it just organisations who are too deep into the Oracle ecosystem to go anywhere else?
kplex··on Show HN: Pino – Open source web app for membership management
Does the demo reset? Clicking around trying stuff resulted in the landing page showing not found?

Worth disabling the https://demo.pinomembers.com/admin/structure/member/settings page for the demo perhaps?

Looks like work on the project has been stalled - https://github.com/BoostIO/boostnote-mobile/issues/201
kplex··on Show HN: Vitriol – a distributed, serverless web publishing platform
