Not wearing pants on camera is as old as TV itself. Always enjoyed this episode of Mayne Street highlighting this phenomenon and the problems when anchors no longer got to sit behind a desk. Also, rewatching this and realizing it has a couple people who would go into more noticeable roles on Parks and Recreation.
The original headline on Hacker News is misleading. This is not a breach of 183 million Gmail account passwords. This is a collection of credentials, largely stolen by infostealer malware and circulating among cyber criminals, which was collected by a security researcher and passed on to Have I Been Pwned. Over 90% of the data has already been seen in previous releases.
Adding the details of website URLs, email addresses and passwords to the Have I Been Pwned database, owner Troy Hunt said the data consisted of both “stealer logs and credential stuffing lists” including confirmed Gmail login credentials.
The “confirmed Gmail login” bit comes from contacting one of the victims at random to verify the data and he confirmed the password was his Gmail password. It doesn’t appear to be a Gmail breach, just the results of credential stealing happened to include some people logging into Gmail.
Edit: Perhaps a more useful link is the original blog post from Have I Been Pwned’s Troy Hunt.
I’m going to guess, based on the only other comment on this post from @Blaster_M@lemmy.world, that the “beloved” qualifier might be overselling the level of appreciation for Unity. Either it’s not actually that beloved by Ubuntu users or there is only a relatively small number of people for whom Unity truly is beloved. In any case I’m guessing it hasn’t had enough users to justify funding from Canonical.
In fact, just looking up Canonical on Wikipedia to verify the company name and see if they were for-profit I found this:
Canonical achieved a small operating profit of $281,000 in 2009, but until 2017 struggled to maintain financial solvency and took a major financial hit from the development of Unity and Ubuntu Touch, leading to an operating loss of $21.6 million for the fiscal year 2013. The company reported an operating profit of $2 million in 2017 after shutting down the Unity development team and laying off nearly 200 employees.
It may be surprising to learn that very basic, low-level support for M3 has existed for quite some time now. m1n1 is capable of initialising the CPU cores, turning on some critical peripheral devices, and booting the Asahi kernel. However, the level of support right now begins and ends with being able to boot to a blinking cursor. Naturally, this level of support is not at all useful for anything but low-level reverse engineering, but we of course plan on rectifying this in due time…
My understanding is they don’t degrade like low-earth orbit but still require station keeping to maintain their precise location, so as they run out of fuel they get moved to a “graveyard” orbit that’s out of the way. At much larger time scales I think the orbits can still get unstable but I don’t think earth’s atmosphere contributes much to that.
The Commodore name and trademarks were recently acquired by the YouTube channel Retro Recipes, which has now revived the company under the Commodore International Corporation name. The new team includes original Commodore members such as Albert Charpentier, Dave Haynie, and Bil Herd.
I remember a Scottish lady telling us in the ’90s about how they had vans that would drive around to find illegal TVs and the whole thing was just mind-boggling to me!
The official guidance is not to try to do an in-place upgrade of your Raspberry Pi's OS. It's possible, but the recommended route is to write a fresh copy to a fresh microSD card, reinstall any additional apps, and bring across your config files. When we wrote about the Pi-Hole network ad filter earlier this year, we got multiple comments about upgrades going wrong. It's a free OS that lives on a $5 storage card in a $35 computer. Just buy a new card, write a fresh OS image onto it, and then you can revert by just swapping the old card back in.
I really don’t know enough about Perplexity AI to have an opinion one way or another, which is why I’m upvoting for awareness. I can’t say whether it’s a good or bad thing, although I’m not optimistic given the general trend of shoehorning “AI” in whether it makes sense or not, but I’m sure there are actually useful applications for the product and a better search engine could be one. I want actual search results, though, not a generated slop answer.
The strength of that relationship can vary, though, like this evening when our dog found poop in the yard and started rolling in it. Bathing the dog isn’t how we had planned to spend our Friday night!
