  • Upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ with Velcro. Now it "has" three data ports and one power port with power delivery to all three data ports and the main (cable attached) usb-c port..

  • Looks great, but one suggestion. Add a 90 degree port adapter. Take the pressure and risk off that port on the tablet.

  • I love this AD, really makes me want to buy thier product!

  • With a little pre-planning and netsend you could scare the crap out of whoever you wanted!

  • The security situation with the Arch Linux AUR got a lot worse

    Jump

  • As I understand it, the attack vector went after orphaned packages primarily. Several of the affected packages would only run the malicious code if it was a fresh install not an update only. So it would have had to be a clean install of an affected package or a newly installed dependency called to invoke this during the approximately 2 day window.

    Yes, this is bad, but it’s clearly testing for weaknesses in the chain through AUR.

    Yes, I know it’s contributed code by the community and a random actor can cause havoc. Yes, I know how to manually build packages and check for changes. Yes, I am guilty of using helpers. No, I wouldn’t catch everything on my own.

    I do limit what I do use from the AUR, because those installs and updates require more scrutiny.

    I am reassessing my own threat model as there’s a couple of packages where I’m dependent on the AUR - most notably displaylink drivers.

    I do wish communication was better around the event. I found out first through being subscribed to the mailing list. An announcement on the main page would have gone a long way.

  • Wired headphones and a 3.5mm headphone jack in 2026? I’m already jealous.

  • Microsoft surprises with its first server Linux distribution: Azure Linux 4.0

    Jump

  • It’s like the hope for Linux, but with an odd sense of baggage you know just can’t get shaken away enough to start clean. Maybe if they had downloaded Fedora, didn’t nothing else, then proclaimed “we did it!!” They might have something.

  • LOOK AT MY CAT

    Jump

  • Am I supposed to brush my cat’s teeth? I’ve never even ears of this when researching for our first cat.

  • Connected cars can be hacked, research finds

  • I’m heavily conflicted …. I agree, but I really want to not need to agree. A door bell connected to the internet is extremely useful. Current implementations are a nightmare though.

    But if it could be secure, private, and the technology actually served the individual in physical proximity “owner” it would be awesome!

    I had a car with its own internet connection for a while, I could check my windows were rolled up from my phone, start it from anywhere, get alerts on fuel levels or oil change intervals…. BUT telemetry was used in evil ways against me.

    A connected fridge that didn’t spy on you, show ads, or be designed to fail could be really useful. But we know the “business” behind this makes it consumer hostile.

    Heck, my washer and dryer wanted to connect to WiFi and it COULD be useful to get an alert on your phone when it’s done but you’re not in its immediate proximity. But we all know giving this thing internet will be a net loss no matter what.

    Smart tvs could be neat in concept, but we all know they’re little corporate spys. Watch out for these, especially Roku is apparently requiring internet connectivity for initial setup. Oh, and this is the company that’s got a patent to identify when an hdmi input is paused so they can inject ads.

    I’m sad because technology is so cool and should have served us to make life easier. Instead, it has killed the joy. FOSS is helping revive the passion in technology.

    So many things should be possible, but “people” went and ruined it for everyone.

  • Whipped cream as a snack

    Jump

  • What approximate ratios do you use?I’d guess something like below

    1 cup whipping cream

    2Tbsp confectioners sugar up to about 1/4 cup if you like really sweet

    1 Tbsp flavored liquor or a few drops of extract.

  • OK, so if I'm on Apple hardware, for now, what's the best alternative to "Apple Maps"?

  • I stacked a cord of wood

    Jump

  • There are insects that burrow into concrete type materials too. If you have drywall or wood trim or food in your house, there’s a critter that can come visit you. Nature gonna nature. We’re all worm food eventually.

  • I stacked a cord of wood

  • Glad to hear you’ve got it in a good spot. Sorry you did have to learn that lesson the hard way.

  • I stacked a cord of wood

    Jump

  • I hope that’s a storage area and not the house. Word of caution don’t stack wood close to the house as it invites bugs to the home. (Termites and carpenter ants especially.)

    You may have done it right, but I’d rather warn and help then just move on.

  • New report blames Phison's pre-release firmware for SSD failures — not Microsoft’s August patch for Windows

    Jump

  • There’s a lot of correlation and speculation going on along with deflecting potential liability.

    It would seem if you have one of these drives, make sure the firmware is current, and you should be fine. (Prerelease firmware and heavy load seem to be the “triggers”)

    If you don’t plan for hard drive failure, you’ll learn that lesson eventually…
