Yep, sorry but not sorry. Advertisements aren’t safe. The industry has been ruined by bad actors and it’s a shame, but also not my problem.

Friendly reminder that over 4 million children are in the process of dying because of his actions cutting foreign aid.

You have to be truly mentally ill, or something less than human, to be this kind of evil.

Hell yeah. K-shaped economy embodying the core value of “fuck everyone else because I got mine.”

Our best and finest left the safe combo next to the safe and then left for 6 months.

We’re barely even trying with the massive cuts to cyber security. It’s almost the exact playbook you would use if leadership were actively hostile.

Breached? But we left the keys in the ignition and the door was wide open. We could have, you know, tried.

Who cares about the risk? It’s not going to work otherwise.

There are even supposed to be safe harbor protections, but the reality is that individuals don’t have the legal resources for it to matter.

Reminds me of a job I had where we got scored based on the number of issues closed. Suddenly, every minor typo or style disagreement became its own issue. We’d close hundreds of issues a day wordsmithing on comments.

What, did enough manufacturers not step up to grease your palms?

That’s like eating exactly one potato chip.

I’m glad you figured it out! Thank you for sharing your solution.

Sounds good! Basically, the problem I had boiled down to a super old driver no kernel dev wants to touch with a ten foot pole and they’re just kinda hoping it’ll die a death to irrelevancy, but there are a few systems out there that do still use it.

The rest of the design moved on to more advanced architecture.

Hey! This was my first real job. Is Matlab code written by physicists who just recently learned programming.

It’s detectors all the way down.

But of course, as a tortoise, you would know that.

I had this problem specifically dealing with the way that IOMMU maps devices conflicting with a really old USB root hub. I had to set something like intel_iommu=off for my case.

Would you be willing to share the output of your dmesg ?

I have a brilliant friend who works there. However, only projects that integrate AI are really getting approved.

Not if I use AI to hide my use of AI first!

Enforcing that ban is going to be difficult.

Back in my day, we had this feature on Windows Vista called ReadyBoost that took advantage of the low-latency of flash media to supplement our slow HDDs. I’m not sure if there was a direct replacement for this in the Linux world. There are filesystems that take advantage of faster tiers of storage, but different latency tier exploitation isn’t something that I know to be readily available.

Today, 2GB of USB flash is next to useless, but I would consider a homebrew rescue system to restore your backups and fix problems without needing to prepare an external flash drive.
