  • Attention developers: stop making apps. If you want profit, make a subscription to an account with a web app. Want to keep people happy? Subscription only charges them once. Bonus, the web app you write once works on everything, including those niche Linux phones.

    Government moves to censor websites? Darknets aren’t just for criminals and conspiracy theorists anymore. Whitelist sites? We move to mesh networks like reticulum.

    We nerds can move faster than a government can, especially this one.

    Best thing about this is that moves like this totally destroy the profit-centric internet of today, flinging us back to a simpler, weirder, better classical internet we grew up with.

  • That’s still a lot of people that use that damn driver. I know at least in medical billing there’s always someone still using a damn fax machine. Almost every claim passes through fax technology at some point, although more and more of it is being emulated.

    Where I work, it’s used mostly by emergency rooms that don’t want to use anything else.

    This is not an environment where you want an exploit.

  • Nope. You don’t need to be using the driver. The article explains that an attacker call upon it and exploit it simply because it is there.

  • Interesting that it's not a problem when youtube runs the same ads.

  • PCIe 3 x4 on the M-key, PCIE2 x1 on the E-key

  • mini home server based on an orange pi 5 plus. I have 2 M2 slots available, and I'm trying to use the M2 M-key slot for this. there are no full pcie slots on this board.

  • The EoL doesn’t affect me. I use Linux and Mac. My work pc is windows 10 but that’s their problem.

    My roommate refuses to move on. I flat out gave him an old surface pro X with win11 and a spacious new SSD. I offered to migrate him to fedora and teach him how to use it. I offered to help him pick out a new pc if he wants. No, he’ll just keep waiting 20 minutes for his old crusty Dell to boot up, then another 10 to load chrome. For updates, he said he’ll just download hacks as people post them online.

    All his shit is on its own VLAN now.

  • Yes it did. Data brokers are a thing. They sell your information to anyone they want and aren’t responsible for anything that happens.

  • Why do we still still use phone numbers for communication? It’s a terrible idea. One unifying piece of information that if anyone gets they can use. Bah.

    We should have a communication method that both sides consent to before allowing the connection. Either side can kill that connection at any time by revoking permission on either side. The contact info shouldn’t be the same for everyone either, but something ephemeral instead. Unique. A burner phone number that’s different to each person and only useful if the connection originates from the one meant to have that number.

    It’s 2025. We still have “you have been hacked, give me gift cards to save your Google Chrome” style shit going on.

  • More likely than dining then for calls I don’t want to get they they facilitate by selling my data. Linda of like the scale car warrantee mail you get because the DMV sold your data.

  • That just means the FCC will stop requiring it though. A class action can still beat them into submission. The lawyers benefit most from this but it still gets the job done.

  • I was once told I’m a very genuine person by a friend I’ve known for years, but in that weird strained way that says it’s an excuse or cover for what they actually wanted to say. I still don’t know what they meant.

  • That’s always how this rug pull works. Build a dependency than when it’s. It making you rich, kill everything that has that dependency.

    I wonder if these could just be flashed with something that uses MQTT.

  • It doesn’t have the ability, not completely anyway. But it can actually do the thing and by putting the pressure on myself that way I can ensure I do my part to improve the situation. At its start all I need it to be able to do is notifications and text messages. If I can’t get it to do that much it’s already successful for me me.

  • It doesn’t matter. Once the legal circus ends, he’ll be executed anyway. The rich want him gone and they don’t have to follow the same rules the rest of us do.

  • As we’ve seems with steam, you can’t rely on credit cards for paying for things. A credit processor simply has to saw “well he could be using that to access porn” and block processing payments for it entirely.

  • Tor is not a VPN and the use case is not interchangeable

  • And for some reason OUR utility bills are going up to pay for it.

  • No
