It didn't include the terrible battery pack design of the vacuum cleaners either. They could have added a few resistors (already supported by the battery management chip they're using), but instead they didn't so the battery

The linked URL doesn't really explain, what does "stable" mean here?

Are more northern countries able to take over some of the production? I'd guess maybe as water declines in southern countries, the temperature rises so more northern latitudes might grow the same crops. Of course it's going to tak

Image a layer, sand it off, image another layer, sand it off, repeat until you have them all?

I'll say it again - environment variables or pam_env aren't expert features - they're primitive. They were a contributing factor in the first privilege escalation.

Ok yeah, I had actually misread what the vars were. But it's the same kind of problem as general environment vars - rather than just a name, maybe it needs metadata of where it came from. To be clear, I'm talking about the unprivi

Another case of environment variables causing LPE. Wonder if we'll ever end up with something more robust for passing details between processes than parsing ambient settings from strings.

Intel's wifi cards and drivers are their saving grace for laptops. Atheros/qualcomm drivers are pitful in comparison on Linux.

Nabrawind have something like that. It's still a column at the top for blade clearance, but the rest is a grid structure so it doesn't need huge external cranes. https://www.nabrawind.com/our-solutions/nabrali

Are they doing anything to fix it or just raising awareness? Here's an example of measuring packages that report warnings for software that has suspicious conversions. Compile with `-Wconversion` with both 32-bit and 64-bit time_t, and

LTO gets a lot of the way there, but it won't for example help with eliminating unused enums (and associated codepaths). That happens at per-crate MIR optimisation iirc, which is prior to llvm optimisation of LTO.

The Linux kernel integer hash uses something similar, so not totally forgotten. \* These are the negative, (1 - phi) = phi\*2 = (3 - sqrt(5))/2, \* which is very slightly easier to multiply by and makes no \* difference to t

There's no reason a USB PSU couldn't have such a low quiescent current that you wouldn't notice it when there's no usb plug. No idea if they've done that there though.

Things like clock_gettime64() to handle dates past 2038. Calling clock_gettime() in libc will call the newer syscall (assuming __TIME_BITS=64 is set). But Linux has kept backwards compat, old programs can still call the old syscall. If you

I'm fairly sure xz _isn't_ a general dependency of autoconf etc. Some projects might use xz in their tests, but thats a general bootstrapping problem for xz, not autoconf. (Autoconf is a pain and I would try to avoid for new proje

For a given linux libc function (what a program calls), the underlying kernel syscall might change over time or vary for other reasons. Since the landlock/seccomp filters are at the kernel level, that breaks programs which only interac

Was the microcode signing scheme documented by AMD, or did the researchers have to reverse engineer it somehow? I couldn't see a mention in the blog post.

Don't excavators usually lift the dirt somewhere higher, either a mound or a dump truck? Otherwise they'd use bulldozers to push it lower/flat. Good thinking though.

I suspect ZeroSSL might have capacity problems if the entire userbase of letencrypt moved to them in a few days. Letsencrypt are talking about 100 million certs/day in future?

Quite possible. David Walsh (of Tasmania's MoMA) had a similar betting system to make his fortune. A story/warning he told to a hedge fund conference was that he _did_ think his system was infallible/bound to win, but revisit

That one seems to be software controlled. I'm fairly sure I remember having the mic working with the mute LED lit, which was confusing. That was on a x1 carbon gen9.

I guess you'd record the curve of the first transition, and the after the debounce period has elapsed you'd use that curve to emit the appropriate key signal. Or alternatively you could use the whole analogue sequence as input for
