And they have a -50% flash sale.
Imagine that timing.

Additionally, chat monitoring would not apply to accounts used for national security, investigations, or military purposes.
Why do they want to protect the pedophiles working for nations and militaries?
Personally, I’d like to see them force in-browser DoH down my throat with my computer powered off. They’ll never see it coming.
The day they do their own DoH in-browser it is definitely up to them. It’s already opt-in if you want to see how well your pi-hole won’t work with it enabled.
Next step is to do DoH by default, and finally making it compulsory.
You sweet summer child.
How long do you think Chrome will let DoH be opt-in?
Likely they’ll force app/play store to require compliance for the apps published in that region.
Yes, yes, side loading, FOSS. Grandma won’t sideload, and responsibility will be on the platform owner. That’s you if you run your own matrix server for your grandma.
Consumer rights in the EU are pretty strong. They include two-week free returns, no questions asked, on things purchased online/remote.
These rights do not extend to businesses, though. Sounds like Amazon is not interested in being helpful unless legislation is twisting their arm.
Well, he’s credited as the editor overseeing security stuff. Reading between the lines I’d say he’s just taking responsibility for the articles correctness.
This article in particular is just so poorly written that you’d forgive me for assuming it wasn’t man-written.
I think the AI that wrote the article misunderstood.
Arch doesn’t build from release tar balls, but straight from git. Arch also doesn’t link sshd against liblzma. So while they’ve shipped the dirty version of xz utils, at least sshd is not affected.
It’s possible that the dirty version affected some of the other things that link liblzma. Like a handful of kde components for example.
It feels like many positions today don’t deal with things that you couldn’t learn in a 6 month boot camp aimed at a particular stack.
I did my computer engineering degree in the early 2000s, and we still had a lot of those early day concepts. All from digital electronics, to processor and compiler design. Lots of focus on the formal methods to prove the correctness of software. Plenty of programming paradigms. None of my professors had a degree in CS. There was no CS when they were studying. They all had math degrees and a love for logic and automata theory.
I can’t say that I’ve actively used it outside of academia, but I think that it has set me up to be a life long quick learner of everything happening in this fast-paced field. Most roles might be working with high level languages today, but those roles wouldn’t exist unless capable people build the compilers, drivers and hardware.
The field needs people who will comb through specifications instead of searching stackoverflow to figure out things. (I guess asking ChatGPT or copilot are the new stackoverflow)
I have a guilty pleasure in old things. The Computer Chronicles have all their episodes on youtube, and their analysis of the news in the 80s have held up remarkably well. I’ve also been reading Hollingdale’s Electronic computers. Computers are still just Von Neumann architecture no matter how many abstraction layers we build on top of it.
Do you remember when Microsoft tried to patent sudo?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
When you spend most of the day on the porcelain throne you kind of just accept that reality.
I’m writing this on my phone from the toilet.
Before that I was using my 2011 thinkpad x220. Those 2012 MBPs have twice the cores and a usable screen.
This guy kiddie porns.
