  • Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0

    Jump

  • There's nothing wrong with Secure Boot and enabling it can prevent a small subset of attack vectors with no real downsides. That being said, the things Secure Boot does protect against aren't likely to be an issue for most users but it's nothing to be afraid of.

  • Discover Hidden Gems: Open-Source Software You Should Know About

    Jump

  • This looks like exactly what I've been searching for. Will try it out when I'm home.

  • Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year

    Jump

  • I connect my primary and backup servers on 10G directly via a crossover cable for transferring ZFS snapshots. No actual 10G switches or anything at the moment but if I add any more servers I need to back up I'll probably get a small 10G switch to put in between.

  • FOSSIL: A complete Git alternative

    Jump

  • Am I missing something?

    No and, in fact, this was (and still is) a selling point of Git over the alternatives (e.g. Subversion) available at the time that required you to "check out" some code and no one else could check out/modify that code while you had it checked out.

  • WD unveils new high-capacity 32TB SMR and 26TB CMR disk drives

    Jump

  • 😏

  • 23andMe agrees to $30M settlement for breach lawsuit

    Jump

  • Wide-spread adoption of passkeys can't come soon enough.

  • Better start fixing your spaghetti code.

    Jump

  • I'd much rather praise them when they do something well, but this is so hard to spot when just reading over committed code. All the obstacles they cleared are not visible in there.

    This is SO true and exactly why code reviews always feel like a beat down (even when they're not). There's no visibility into the truly good work that's already been done.

  • DankPods just switched to Linux!!!

    Jump

  • I'd argue this is a wash. Linux is more convenient in many ways but Windows is in others.

  • EE warns parents against giving children under 11 a smartphone

    Jump

  • On Google Fi the watch data "piggy backs" on the phone's data. You still need a phone + phone plan.

  • Seems like @mozilla is doing something right

    Jump

  • That or he fired them, yeah.

  • Apple introduces M4 chip

    Jump

  • That's because that's exactly what they are.

  • Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing

    Jump

  • No, no, the real problem is video games... and Dungeons & Dragons... and the mall of course... and comic books... and...

  • Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86

    Jump

  • ARM is RISC (or at least a version of it).

  • What VPN would you recommend for torrenting?

    Jump

  • Mullvad got rid of their port forwarding.

    So did IVPN. Use Proton VPN now.

  • good luck little buddy, see you in 5 years

    Jump

  • "all your vscode extensions still work fine" is definitely not true. Sure a vast majority of them probably do, but certainly not all of them.

    I still prefer it over full VS Code though.

  • Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating

    Jump

  • Companies having a geographic monopoly over access to the internet doesn't change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.

    That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.

  • Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating

    Jump

  • I understand what you're saying but it feels wrong to lump Cloudflare in with Google and Amazon. Clouflare, thus far anyway, has been mostly a force of good for the internet.

  • Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating

    Jump

  • The internet IS decentralized.

  • Mozilla lays off 60 people, wants to build AI into Firefox

    Jump

  • Think of the up vote button more as a "this information is worth spreading" button than "I like or agree with this content".
