To add about defaults from what other posters have shown…

I don’t remember if this was there on Debian 12, but at least when you’re on Debian 13 later this year, you can go to “Settings” in Discover and select if you want Debian or Flatpak to be the default source

Did that, did a lot of that. There wasn’t any doctor here who could shine my eyes. Not even for 20 menthol cools. Was anything you said true?

nvtop, while it sounds like it’s nvidia, is brand agnostic It actually stands for “neat videocard top”

It’ll show per process usage of memory and compute usage on most GPUs

So, would your suspicion be that it’s causing them more failed boards in production?

I guess if it’s reducing returns, that might be something they’re accepting as a tradeoff?

I think you agreed with me?

I said the people who say Linux is so hard are the people that have learned so much about Windows that it’s ingrained in them. So when they try to switch, they get frustrated that it isn’t exactly the same

The vocal people saying it’s harder have a lot of experience with Windows, and know how to work around all of its deficiencies after being a power user dealing with it for 15+ years

With that mindset and not wanting to start over, Windows is easier

For casual users or someone who’s willing to learn, Linux is easier

My naive reading is the difference here is HP slapped a discount sticker on it without changing the price.

Where Kohls, et. al. set the price extremely high and then always have it “on sale.”

Now, how companies get away with doing the same thing for Black Friday, no idea

That’s already how it functionally worked for each major release

Here’s their previous strategy: https://web.archive.org/web/20220917195332/source.android.com/docs/setup/about/codelines

Google works internally on the next version of the Android platform and framework according to the product’s needs and goals

When the n+1th version is ready, it’s published to the public source tree

The source management strategy above includes a codeline that Google keeps private to focus attention on the current public version of Android.

We recognize that many contributors disagree with this approach and we respect their points of view. However, this is the approach we feel is best and the one we’ve chosen to implement for Android.

As far as I can tell, this would really only affect QPRs, since the public experimental branches that get made after they throw the next release over the wall is going away

Oracle happened to it

All the devs went to LibreOffice after that

I wasn’t trying to give a positive side, I was just explaining why Microsoft wants the feature

If the executable binary has to be signed with a key, similar to the module signing key, Microsoft could sign their binaries

This, along with secureboot, would prevent the owner of the machine from running eBPF programs Microsoft doesn’t want you to run, even with root

Kind of seems like they simply installed this dude’s tarpit from a few months ago

Where did Microsoft put an official announcement saying the statement from an official Microsoft employee, Jerry Nixon, speaking at an official Microsoft conference, Ignite, was incorrect?

Edit:

When reached for comment, [Microsoft] didn’t dismiss them at all

Recent comments at Ignite about Windows 10 are reflective of the way Windows will be delivered

Yes, in the sense that every device you own has these same commands

The alarmist of the original was that this was somehow unique to the esp32

If your device has Bluetooth, it has these commands

I agree, but unfortunately, this has become common since Heartbleed, and they seem to be able to sell their snake oil to CTOs…

The article is a security company trying to hype their company with a theoretical attack that currently has no hypothetical way to be abused

The article has an update now fixing the wording to “hidden feature” but, spoilers, every BT device has vendor specific commands.

The documentation of the part just wasn’t complete and this companies “fuzzing” tool found some vendor commands that weren’t in the data sheet

The China part just came from OP

If they’re being shared as disk images, basically every Blu-Ray has an embedded Java program, also

The Ubuntu security team only supports the ~2,000 packages in “main”

Things like ffmpeg are in “universe” and only get security updates if you subscribe to Ubuntu Pro

ubuntu.com/security/esm

Debian’s security team has always been significantly more responsive than Ubuntu. It’s regularly had CVE fixes in older versions of Debian that newer versions of Ubuntu don’t bother to pull into universe

You can even trivially run your own server on an old Raspberry Pi.

I used to run one on a Pi 2 that would regularly have ~100 concurrent users without any hiccups
