  • Microsoft Teams phishing attack alerts coming to everyone next month

    Jump

  • I suppose the organization I'm in never made use of those. Wasn't even aware that they offered an alternative to power automate as a means to integrate with MS software lol

  • Microsoft Teams phishing attack alerts coming to everyone next month

  • You know, people gripe about it endlessly, but after they rewrote it to be more performant, most of my problems with it ended there. It's fine as a chat client. Calls work well, video hasn't been a problem, screen share quality is decent and you can even provide remote support through it in a pinch. It doesn't even consume 2GB+ of memory when sitting idle anymore.

    As far as Electron apps go, Teams hasn't been terrible for a long time now.

  • Bambu Lab Firmware Update Forces Cloud Dependency & User Lock-In - AVOID THEIR 3D PRINTERS!

    Jump

  • Well this is... disappointing. I picked up an A1 at the end of last year because it "just works", and I was tired of fighting my Ender 3 instead of actually printing with it. I'm extraordinarily happy with the quality of the printer itself, but I'll be refraining from updating the firmware I guess, as I don't allow it to use cloud services, and it lives on my LAN as the only means of management.

  • 'We will not hesitate': Canada prepares to hit U.S. with billions in tariffs

    Jump

  • Except we do. Canada's military isn't large, but it's quite modern. We've been a significant part of training Ukraininian forces on how to use NATO equipment. I think you're a bit confused.

    And while I don't agree with our participation, Canada hasn't been a peacekeeping corp in a long time either, having been a player in the war in Afghanistan and Syria. We've pretty consistently assisted American troops in these areas. Canada is a member of NATO, and a developer of arms and munitions as part of the indistrial military complex. We aren't reliant on an island across the ocean for our own protection.

  • What would be the difference between Fedora Kinoite and this?

  • i have been informed I have a 3D Printer hobby, not a 3D Printing hobby

    Jump

  • Definitely a valid thing to have. Imo, as long as it provides value to you creatively or intellectually, then it's a worthwhile hobby. It sounds like you are using it as well, so that's just a bonus really.

    I'm halfway into that mindset, but got myself a bambu after fighting an Ender 3 for so long and for now at least I'm content to just have a working printer instead of a half assembled one 80% of the time. So many calibration cubes.

  • Help with non steam game on Linux mint

    Jump

  • Can confirm. Currently running everything on there through Proton unless there's some outstanding issue

  • Recommendation: use Heroic instead for Hoyo titles. It'll launch with Proton/Gamescope and it's far more reliable.

  • As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved

    Jump

  • No, but Best Buy does. As does Canada Computers, Shoppers Drug Mart, Gamestop, etc. none of which are as bizzarely aggressive about nonsensical pricing schemes.

  • Better hurry, before they run out of....1's and 0's...

  • The company providing this promotion has a set budget that covers the "cost" of the giveaway. Since this is a monthly service, that budgetary constraint is likely just the value of 6 months times the number of people they feel is acceptable to lose money on in the efforts of a marketing campaign.. Once that allotment has been used, by way of people redeeming the offer, they end the promotion.

    The people who redeemed the code or whatever credit to their account is still going to get 6 months of that service. There's no threshold that has to be met in order for everyone to get it.

  • Raspberry Pi 500 and Raspberry Pi Monitor are available now

    Jump

  • Client, potentially. Sadly definitely not a server since the removed hardware encoding

  • [SOLVED] Noob stuck on port-forwarding wile trying to host own raw-html website. Pls help

    Jump

  • Because you're serving the website on a non-standard port, you will always need to provide the port in the web browser.

    That said, I don't see anything wrong here. It looks like you've got the right ports set, TCP should be correct. You may not get a ping, because ICMP is likely not enabled at the modem. When you ping, you ping the first device that's exposed to the internet, not an open server.

    Just to be sure, when you're on your phone, you're using data? If you're on wi-fi, the modem/router may not be configured to perform NAT reflection, so you won't be able to access anything via your WAN IP.

  • YSK: The vote counts on reddit are completely made up.

    Jump

  • Was gonna say, I explicitly recalled it being the removal of the scaling algo, so if anything the current vote counts (this has possibly changed since that 2016 adjustment) are more accurate. Reddit has a massive userbase, and posts in default subs are naturally going to get upvoted substantially. There's no real viral algorithm to reddit, you just see things that are upvoted.

  • Discord now properly supports screensharing on linux

    Jump

  • I am a Linux user. Bizarre assumption to make given my excitement over a Wayland specific Discord feature. But I don't have any actual qualms with how Discord implements its own services. Matrix just doesn't fit the bill for me. If you enjoy it, and it suits your needs then all the power to you. It just isn't what works for me.

  • Discord now properly supports screensharing on linux

    Jump

  • Not if I want calling, video chat, screen sharing and role based chat rooms all in the same place. I've explored this, but it just isn't feature complete enough at the moment. I'd definitely describe myself as a Discord power user and Matrix just doesn't manage it.

  • Discord now properly supports screensharing on linux

    Jump

  • Oh my fuck, finally. Good lord Discord, only took you eons to get that working with Wayland after you broke it.

    I get that there's other things like Discord out there, but nothing works like Discord.

  • Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades

    Jump

  • That's unfortunate to hear. Jellyfin does definitely suffer the from the problem of not having a teams developing apps under a unified banner. You can make your own, provided you're determined enough, but guidance from the core Jellyfin team is not to be expected.

  • Roku, yes. Xbox as well. PS5 no, but not for lack of trying. That's apparently on Sony.

  • Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe

    Jump

  • Not an expert, but molten salt reactors are correct. MSRs are especially useful as breeder reactors, since they can actually reinvigorate older, spent fuel using more common isotopes. Thorium in particular is useful here. Waste has also been largely reduced with the better efficiency of modern reactors.

    Currently, Canada's investing in a number of small modular reactors to improve power generation capacity without the need to establish entire new nuclear zones and helps take some of the stress off the aging CANDU reactors. These in particular take advantage of the spent fuel and thorium rather than the very expensive and hard to find Uranium more typically used. There's been interest in these elsewhere too, but considering how little waste is produced by modern reactors, and the capacity for re-use, it feels pike a very good way to supplement additional wind and solar energy sources.
