Good old rock. Nothing beats rock.

Open terminal on BBC micro to mainframe in university campus, ftp to ftp.funet.fi, patiently wait for 6 hours while a single jpeg of (hopefully!) Cindy Crawford in her skivvies downloads to mainframe. Then download using zmodem for another hour to local computer. Save on floppy, back to dorm room, to find out it's corrupted. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘

Hopefully there's a useful website under the ad spam. I need to install an ad blocker on this mobile Lemmy app ๐Ÿค”

But the CEO's third luxury yacht? What about that?

I'll bet the Intel management engine is just as "vulnerable". The only context this is likely a concern is large scale corpo deployments, without verified supply chains to the source. Love how the security researcher handwaves that there's "plenty of existing exploits" that can be used to install the exploit into the SMM, without giving any suggestions of how.

Fair enough. But the fact I can't even use it to connect to my homelab proxmox cluster kinda has to be a dealbreaker for me. Even a trial period to allow me to try and experience everything would be sufficient in my opinion. On the fuzzy thing, I'm using gnome desktop, with latest gnome shell in debian sid, on an Nvidia 20280 using the proprietary driver (latest in debian experimental). It's connected to three 2k/1440p monitors running at 144/60/60hz. If that helps at all. The tooltips are most notably fuzzy. It looks like it's being antialiased multiple times or something?

Locking basic homelab functions behind a $50/year license means it is purged. Sad, because it had potential, though it suffers from a weird text scaling issue that means everything is just very slightly blurry.

Check your power. I've had about 50 led bulbs for about 7 or more years. Only the ones in the bathroom failed because they were cheap and not rated for use in a wet and humid environment. Their replacements are coming up on 4 years old now and no signs of trouble. None of the bulbs were particularly expensive when I bought them.

30s are rookie numbers. I'm 52 and still game regularly. I started out playing pong clones in about 1975 hooked up to my tv. I played a lot of zx spectrum games in the 80s, failed my degree in the early 90s because I spent far far far too long playing civ1 on my Amiga. Etc etc.

Emily wrote this one and you can tell she was on fire. Really good video.

I honestly hope they don't do another dumb Linux challenge. Linus and Luke both have pre-prepared excuses why a conversion to Linux will fail, for them personally. Stuff like "we can't run Photoshop" level shit. Dumb "no shit Sherlock" type nonsense.

That means they won't actually try, they'll just "do it for the content" and give up again after a month or whatever. The videos will be well done but will ultimately conclude that "Linux still isn't ready for us" and they'll leave a bitter taste in any real Linux user's mouth, because their excuses will be pathetic and the efforts put in will be demonstrably minimal.
