  • Trump Reportedly Expressed ‘Serious Interest’ in Deploying Ground Troops to Iran

    Jump

  • Trump can't read maps. Or anything else.

  • The National Park Service Is Removing Signs Staff Reported as ‘Factually Accurate’

    Jump

  • “While these statements are historically accurate and supported by firsthand accounts, they may be perceived as disparaging by individuals who are less familiar with the history of the Civil Rights Movement,” staff at the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail wrote in at least 15 reports flagging exhibits at the site.

    "The signs are true but may hurt the feelings of ignorant racists, so we're taking them down." Pandering to the most ignorant bigots because they're in charge of the country. Very sad.

  • Analyst says interest in Epstein files plummeted after war on Iran launched

  • Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint Eye Age Verification Amid California Law Backlash

    Jump

  • Of course, this is not only about Ubuntu, Fedora, or Linux Mint, as it would apply to all GNU/Linux distributions, desktop environments, and application hubs lke Flathub or Snap Store, which will have to comply with the upcoming law in the near future in some way, especially since similar laws have already been proposed in other US states, including New York and Colorado.

    This is likely to have an impact on all Linux distros, one way or another.

  • Trump says ‘I guess’ Americans should worry about Iran retaliating on U.S. soil: ‘Like I said, some people will die’

    Jump

  • They should employ hackers to get hold of the rest of the Epstein files and release them.

  • CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

    Jump

  • It's interesting that in the screenshot in the article, the CPU is identified as a Ryzen 5 7430U but then it gives the codename "Lucienne", which is the 5500U's name. So apparently they didn't fake it perfectly.

  • CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

    Jump

  • They're from different generations though. 5500U is Zen 2 while 7430U is Zen 3.

  • CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

    Jump

  • Can these processors use the same motherboard? It might be a big effort to make a custom one for review, more than just dropping in another part. And more costly too, if it meant redesigning other parts.

  • AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles

    Jump

  • A person could easily pick up the errors if they checked the translation, but one of the worst things about AI is how it trains everyone to be too lazy to bother.

  • Just cook the chicken at 600C for 10min

    Jump

  • Congress to America: What War?

    Jump

  • "I don't know if this is technically a war,” Senator Lindsay Graham said of the un-war in Iran on Meet the Press on Sunday.

    ...

    But it is not just Trump loyalists who are playing word games. Democrats also have a hard time calling this what it is, with the party’s top officials using terms like “Military attack,” “military operation,” “military assault,” and the like.

    Sen. Chuck Schumer says the strikes are “risking wider conflict”; Rep. Hakeem Jeffries says the operation has “brought us to the brink of a possible war.”

    What a revolting display of writhing human invertebrates.

  • And you are expected to estimate how long the work will take, but you're only allowed to say that it will done by tomorrow.

  • Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

    Jump

  • God sounds like a jerk. It's freezing out there.

  • Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

    Jump

  • You can pick up malware from a website or an advert on a website. You can pick it up by a friend bringing an infected device and attaching it to your home network. You can pick it up from a phishing link or attachment. You can run an IoT device that downloads malware and propagates it to other machines on your network. You can install a dodgy app on your phone. You can run an application that has a chain of dependencies down to some obscure backdoored library (xz). You can run software that downloads automatic updates and whose update server was compromised (Notepad++) or whose signing certificate was compromised. You can be the victim of a sophisticated supply chain attack (SolarWinds was corporate but it could happen to any complex software). Those are just the first few that spring to mind. And you can pick it up because someone else in your family did any one of these things or many others.

    Malware isn't just for people who do obviously dangerous things like downloading cracks and keygens. There are many vectors for it to get in.

    So you are planning to upgrade?

  • Privacy-preserving age and identity verification via anonymous credentials

    Jump

  • Of course it can be done. But governments don't want privacy-preserving verification. They want total surveillance made easy for them.
