  • News about the USA makes me so incredibly sad and anxious currently.

    I hope the world won't go to shit and people will eventually see reason again.

  • The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds

    Jump

  • You tell me, haha 😄

    DNS usually is a bit of an issue when TTL is too high and the stuff the records point to isn't available.

  • The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds

  • Well... Afaik the AWS outage only affected a certain region. So the company could have just deployed their online service in two different regions for redundancy.

    Or even better. Enable Offline Support 😐

  • As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity

    Jump

  • See an example here:

    Microsoft said both issues could allow attackers to execute code with elevated privileges, although there are currently no indications on how they are being exploited and how widespread these efforts may be. In the case of CVE-2025-24990, the company said it's planning to remove the driver entirely, rather than issue a patch for a legacy third-party component.

    The security defect has been described as "dangerous" by Alex Vovk, CEO and co-founder of Action1, as it's rooted within legacy code installed by default on all Windows systems, irrespective of whether the associated hardware is present or in use.

    New attack vectors are found constantly. Having no support can very likely result in a system that can be automatically breached in a few weeks to months.

    As long as you don't have a public IP on your device and are in a trusted network you should be fine. But if you use a public wifi or somehow expose a port to the internet you're increasingly vulnerable for each day after the last security update.

  • Plant-it v1.0.0 is out - The FOSS gardening companion has refocussed and is now primarily an Android app

  • Makes me wonder what problems they faced with a Client/Server architecture.

    Scope creep maybe? Supporting lots of platforms can be very time consuming.

  • What Reddit has become lately...

    Jump

  • Recently I tried to get some advice from some locals and posted in a larger subreddit.

    Post got immediately removed because it's a duplicate of a year old post which is only remotely related.

    That place can be so stupid.

  • I mean. I like compiling stuff myself but when I have to update 100 tools and all are source code to be compiled, then I can't use my pc for a whole day or so.

  • I'm on vacation in the US atm and traffic is wild.

    The worst drivers in Europe would be better than the best drivers here.

    Everyone is constantly going 10-20 mph over the speed limit. You constantly get cut off and sometimes even pushed out of your lane. You can have your blinker on all you want, no one is ever letting you merge unlees you force your way in and yadda yadda yadda.

    In the >6000 miles I've driven now I have seen one automated speed camera. There is a larger police presence than in the EU but they don't seem much interested in enforcing traffic laws.

    To any US citizen reading this: This is not meant to be rude, but you guys could have it way better and way more safe than it is currently.

  • Audio 📢

  • Lol yeah. Surprised no one made that yet.

  • Audio 📢

    Jump

  • Very good point. Didn't even think about that. At home we use a soundbar because of that.

  • Audio 📢

    Jump

  • The standards are still pretty bad, and most producers of movies and tv shows still don't balance their audio for home TVs, but I do believe Ads have a limited allowed "loudness".

    If it was real baby mode we would have a regulated minimum and maximum loudness for everything, so we don't have to change volume constantly.

  • Audio 📢

    Jump

  • I thought it was quite bad already in the EU but we at least have standards for it. I'm currently in the US and watching TV I have to turn on closed captions for everything because voices are just so damm silent, while Ads and stuff just blast your face off.

  • Microsoft sued for discontinuing Windows 10 support

    Jump

  • If you disregard LTS versions, yeah 😄

    Even then it's usually just a kernel update and not a complete OS reinstall.

  • Where I'm from there's certificates a company can get, that confirm a certain level of process and IT security. Also a company existing for at least 5-10 years without incidents is a "vetted" company in my books. At least anything that managed to produce a working IT system before 2021 when AI came around.

    I also believe there's a bit of bad wording going on with the original comment. Take it up with that guy, lol.
