It's not a big deal because the Ars Technica summarisation is wrong. You can (and enterprise controllers do in fact) tie IPs and MACs to association IDs (8bit number per client+BSS) and thus prevent this kind of spoofing. I haven'

"Scan your face with your device, if it has a camera." And if my device doesn't have a camera I don't need to scan my face? wtf?

Can someone explain to me why Google's plans don't collide with the EU DMA? They're locking down the platform, that's what the DMA is supposed to prevent, I thought.

Well, SPICE is still around in its zillion forks and dialects… AIUI the best frontend is kicad, though I never really tried that, I just wrote the text files by hand.

You made the decision to "pulseaudio free" your system, why do you expect others to fix issues arising from that decision of yours for you?

The first party developer in case of Brave is arguably worse than most 3rd party developers elsewhere.

It's part of my job to ship software on Linux, and if anything the part making things "shitty and annoying" is when we have to deal with people/'suppliers' (exclusively) using "foreign" packaging meth

I'm not disputing that. It can be a performant USB implementation and using an awful core that should've died out 10 years ago at the same time. Like, you can fireproof your house with asbestos, it works great. Still wouldn't

USB 1.1 Full Speed is 12 M bit , i.e. 1.5 MB/s theoretical , zero overhead accounted for. That's an order of magnitude you're missing there. Whether it matters depends on how large the drive is, I guess. It also bears poin

The Raspberry Pi Pico is good for a lot of things; this is not one of them (due to the lack of at least USB 2.0 High Speed). An LPC18xx, LPC43xx or even IMXRT106x would've been a much better choice.

Honestly, I rather use Coccinelle, where I understand exactly what it does, when it does it and why it does it…

You can put [user] blocks in repos, i.e. /some/where $ head .git/config [user] email = me@example.org name = My 'nick' Name Doesn't tie into your SSH key though, if you need that.

They claim it's the first ARM mini workstation with UEFI. Which… nope, that would be Solid-run's Clearfog/Honeycomb LX2k (ITX board), several years old at this point.

Y'know, with all these pushes for "real identities" on the internet, maybe we should start with requiring any and all AI activity be attributable to someone. The privacy and free speech arguments certainly don't apply.

I'd argue a lot of this is rooted in a lack of self esteem, which is halfway to a mental health issue but not quite there (yet). The attention-seeking itself is the mental health issue. But it's kinda splitting hairs, these peop

Yeah, ok, let's say it's the kind of stupid where I'm trying *very* hard to not assume malice.

You can say about Merkel what you want, she was competent.

Okay, yeah, sure, maybe the "don't assume malice" is out the window at this point. There are things he's genuinely incompetent on, though. Just google "Merz realitätsfern" (= lost touch with reality).
