> The real root cause of "user hostility" is that companies are run by humans and humans are self-serving and want to make more money. At least for software, we know of one solution that works: free (as in speech) software. Sti

I disagree. Systemd did things differently, sometimes annoyingly, but the intention was still to allow you to control your own system. It also ate other projects (e.g. udev) and sprouted features (resolved, timedated, etc.) making it diffic

I don't think I ever tried drag and drop, but I've gotten copy/paste and window->display resizing to work in virt-manager after manually setting up the kvm/qemu guest tools.

If you haven't tried it, the "Virtual Machine Manager" GUI [1] is also surprisingly usable on Desktop Linux. I use it with both Windows and Linux images, and getting it to work with the usual guest extension niceties is strai

It's not just the receptacles, it's also 2-4 custom cables per device, with sleeves and overmolds and all that, because it's a non-standard, spec-violating monstrosity that necessarily needs to be included with the cursed s

Okay, let's talk about that USB switch [1], because I was looking for one a few days ago and discovered something ghastly about the majority of the ones available on Amazon: Most of them use a USB Type-A to Type-A cable for the link be

That's not always possible. If you install a package from the system repository that depends on a bunch of python packages, the dependency manager will only be satisfied if they're installed via the repository, since it can't

Not having used Manjaro personally, what's the advantage here? My impression was that it was essentially Arch with a user friendly installer and possibly some nicer defaults. This seems desirable if you're setting up a PC, but is

It's definitely maintainable, the real question is whether Apple is interested in doing so properly.

I had the larger T520 (with the expensive at the time 1080p IPS panel) for about a decade and it was and still is great. Heavy though, and with the original battery now lasting about five minutes, it's essentially a desktop. I use a T4

> Speak for yourself. This attitude is exactly why local responses fail. So in one breath you criticize me for being a cynic, and in the next you admit that my cynical attitude is prevalent enough to be the root cause of the bad things I

It's not a zero sum game. When governments invest in their poor communities, they get the following, in order: 1) Stability At a minimum, a community needs to receive enough investment that it doesn't get destroyed at regular inte

You're missing or ignoring a long history of extreme poverty in the American South, and deliberate policy decisions to under-invest in those communities in order to maintain the status quo. Nobody in this thread is proposing that FEMA

What are your thoughts on the vertical stagger on ergonomics, vs. just having the left and right side split? Does it actually help, or is it more of an aesthetic choice? I notice carpal tunnel pain in my wrists when I tension or release the

It's a witty reply, but it essentially boils down to "just be less poor." Is this really the argument you want to make?

The downvotes to your comments suggest that people here either don't agree with your argument, take issue with the way you're presenting it, or both. I'm not claiming a moral high ground, I'm suggesting that there's

If your perspective is this short-sighted, then the benefits are for society, not for you. We don't want to be stuck with the bill when you have an accident that you're clearly not anticipating and realize that you were wrong in t

There's a cost to answering this question wrong too -- the US spent the better part of last century toppling governments and installing sock-puppets, and it led to resentment, terrorism, and revolutions that brought even worse governme

You've missed my point. I'm saying that the market value of actually performing an illegal act of extortion is higher than the market value of a zero-day, either on one of these markets or via bug bounty. I'm arguing that t

by ohazi 6y ago
This seems like the market for risk at work. Just as in drug trafficking, more money tends to go to parties that take on more risk. In this case, that's the criminals doing the extorting. So unless the security researcher wants to enga

It makes more sense when you read Torvalds' initial argument. AVX-512 draws so much power that (especially in laptops) they have to lower the base clock of the entire CPU. This doesn't matter too much if you're doing HPC, bec

The points are not supposed to be similar... you're missing the part of the parent's argument where one is used as a tool to enforce the other, when otherwise it would be difficult/impossible to enforce. There is only one rea
