I am still running ROME epyc cpus that I picked up for couple hundred and they're doing great. Power usage is not the best and singlethread is awful (-50%), but multithreaded performance kicks 9950x in the ass at around 90k vs 70k.

steamos is just kde.

SteamOS uses KDE for their "desktop" session, but does their own thing for the normal gaming mode.

the magic trick is just to not, netflix won't even stream you 4k 90% of the time even if you do have all the requirements.

why won't they?

Bandwidth costs money, less bandwidth = less money spent. I have noticed that if you use a vpn you will get 1080p at best, 720p more often than not.

What are you talking about, spectacle is everything I want in a screenshot tool and I do not want it to be any other way. If you want something that just takes a picture then you might as well go back to 2012.

"Built on Modern Linux Technologies"

> D-bus

alright!

on a more serious note, should remove that incase that was put there by AI.


If I had to guess, I would guess that this statement was put there before ChatGPT existed.

[edit]

Unless this text was buried deeper than the front page and then promoted, I was wrong. That language was not there last November according to archive.org


Wait dbus isn't considered modern? What's the alternative these days?

There's not, but it's also a very very old technology - definitely not 'modern' linux.

It has a lot of problems especially with protocol standartization and permissions. You can tell something and you might get something back or you might listen for something and get garbage instead.

The maker of hyprland has shipped an alternative though. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46278857

I would be more satisfied if they gave a proper explanation of what these could have lead to rather than being "well maybe 0.001% chance to exploit this". They did vaguely go over how "two" exploits managed to drop a file, but how impactful is that? Dropping a file in abcd with custom contents in some folder relative to the user profile is not that impactful other than corrupting data or poisoning cache, injecting some javascript. Now reading session data from other sites, that I would find interesting.


You should generally assume that in a web browser any memory corruption bug can, when combined with enough other bugs and a lot of clever engineering, be turned into arbitrary code execution on your computer.

The most important bit being the difficulty, AI finding 21 easily exploitable bugs is a lot more interesting than 21 that you need all the planets to align to work.

If you can poison cache, you can probably use that a stepping stone to read session data from other sites.

I don't really see a problem where there is a standard api (or even syscall!) to rethrieve a persons age bracket and for various apps being able to easily implement it. But please make it fucking optional.

Make it optional and assume an adult otherwise, it's a good idea if it's optional and doesn't have dumb fines, you could have fines for not enforcing it / not using the api [porn sites] that already exists [and it doesn't work since 1 button is not age verification].

I see this as a good way for parents and institutions to set up their phones, school laptops etc and would pretty much solve the large majority of these issues while having a fraction of the invasiveness.


The law says it must ask for age when creating an account other than the first one. So that's mandated. But there's no verification of the age you enter, and in fact, it's forbidden to verify it. It's really just to give parents the option to set up child accounts.

"The law" There is no "The law" there are multiple levels of government implementing multiple solutions all different and somewhat incompatible.

Honestly, probably by intention. Its sort of a SLAPP attack on the entire world population.


I'm talking about the one in California and Colorado, which is the most recent outrage wave.

that doesn't help when the bit is lost between the cpu and the memory unfortunately, it only really helps passing poor quality dram as it gets corrected for single bit flips, not that reliable either it's a yield / density enabler rather than a system reliability thing.

it's "ECC" but not the ecc you want, marketing garbage.

neovim works just as good... as long as you ask AI to set it up for you.
