Air Canada: we're not happy until you're not happy

DVDs are 480p, 720p wasn't introduced until the Blu-ray/HD DVD wars

You could do a data request, that should be everything they have on you

You need to use chown if you want to own the libs

The malicious code is only thought to have affected deb/rpm packaging (i.e the backdoor only included itself with those packaging methods). Additionally, arch doesn't link ssh against liblzma which means this specific vulnerability wasn't applicable to arch. Arch may have still been vulnerable in other ways, but this specific vulnerability targeted deb/rpm distros

If you think that's silly then you should see all the people praising a woman for putting an ice cube in a pot to the same effect.

Sure it stopped the water from boiling over, it also stopped the water boiling at all.

Open Source Summit 2024 keynotes. I don't think any of the recordings are available yet.

You need a budget, but it's not free.

But with Intuit, you are the product, so it's only free in the sense that they get your info and you get mint in return.

This will probably use some well-defined api endpoint to do their telemetry check-in, so this could probably be effectively circumvented if users were willing and able to do host level overrides to specifically prevent the unity engine from phoning home

LE, order placed 10:19 Pacific. Not shipped yet, but packaged. Guess the Canada shipping backlog is real -- hopefully it comes this week.

I don't really use it for this, but here are some things I do use it for:

• metrics scraping on servers without needing to open ports or worry about ssl encryption. Works great for federating Prometheus instances or scraping exporters
• secure access to machines not directly exposed to the internet. I.e. ssh access to my home box while I'm traveling
• being an exit node for web traffic while traveling. I.e. maybe you are traveling and have a bank who is giving you grief about logging in -- masquerade that connection from your home IP

I mostly just use it for metrics scraping though

I've managed to get in the habit of pointing the screen away from my eye sockets in bed when it's dark. 60% of the time, it works every time

This is called the "Door in the face method" of bargaining. Start with a request so high and absurd that you "slam the door in their face" because it's so absurd.

The next time they try, they'll come back with an offer that sounds far more reasonable than the original request. Since you're still primed with the previous context, your brain makes it sound less bad than it probably is ("At least it's not the first offer!). You're more likely to accept after this.

The opposite technique is called "foot in the door", start with a small request (get your foot in the door) and then increase the ask after the small request goes over.

Updated amd64-microcode for EPYC processors appears available for several distributions which has mitigations available. I went ahead and proactively grabbed the microcode update from Debian unstable (not the best practice) and applied it without issue to my Bullseye/EPYC.

This isn't exactly condoned as it's not officially a backport, but I'll take my chances as this is pretty critical.

Date of the updated microcode should be July 19th.

I originally bought the JSAux Dock and shortly after connecting it to my TV it started wrecking havoc with the CEC functions. Volume control would randomly stop working. Was pulling my hair out thinking that something in the AVR stack was starting to fritz out and go.

I pushed them for a refund and swapped to the OEM Dock. Haven't looked back since. CEC issues disappeared and the dock feels a lot more reliable than the jsaux one.

Also JSAux dock only had windows firmware updaters at the time, so wasn't a great look for first party support.

If you were under Linux, you could have the start command change desktop resolution with xrandr. But since you are on Windows it looks like qres is a command line app to help you achieve the same thing: https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/qres.html

There's also HDR switch: https://github.com/bradgearon/hdr-switch

Using the nvstreamer1080 option may be a bit easier, but nice to have options!

Edit: I should read better. Did you try

C:\\path\\to\\QRes.exe /x:1200 /y:800

Just run from you command line first until you get the hang of it

The LE steam decks are shipping with a screen manufactured by BOE.

Mine just arrived and indeed has 3 dead subpixels (2 blue, 1 green)

I happily use Fedora for workstation purposes but hate to admit I use it, so it's an accurate critique. It's a great operating system though, naming aside.

It literally was in the opening paragraph. Previous years keynotes are available in a playlist here, so I assume they'll do the same for this year's keynotes as well. The event only just ended yesterday.

I mean, certain airlines are starting to adopt size policies which will grant you an additional seat if you are overweight. Why is it such a stretch to believe that tall people should receive the same accommodation?

A bit late to your comment but they simply don't want you to talk to a human. It's that easy. Talking to a human results in empathy, which results in giving away of deals the management doesn't really want you to give out.

They'd rather you get frustrated at being able to not reach a human and then you just give up and be a good sheep and pay what you're expected to.

Oh, unless you want to cancel, in which case it will take no less than 10 different humans bouncing you off various departments and scripts because making it easy to cancel also results in bad metrics

It was a sad day when my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order at Amazon with a very nice discount got cancelled

I hope you're right and this isn't about them getting ready to DRM brush handles to brush heads. Sonicare brush heads are ridiculously overpriced compared to the knock offs
