My fancy Sony headphones sound great until I need to make a call whereupon they revert to HSP which sounds awful...

I agree with you, but for the same of argument... this Android user will also earn prospective buyers up front that they should steer well clear of the cheap devices before they buy them too!

So if I don't want Google telling the world where I live, I can no longer tell Windows users to not upload my WiFi passwords to Microsoft (_optout)... what a world we live in!

Can the terminate handler examine the stack and/or the thrown exception in order to provide useful clues to the developer, or is it too late by then?

I have similar thoughts thinking about currency. It seems incredible to me that we (in the UK) ever managed to pull off decimalization!

networkd, NetworkManager, etc. all integrate into the network-online.target in exactly the same way. There is no favouritism for networkd in particular. And anyway, the network-online.target mechanism always seemed like a hack added to plac

Nah, it was much more of a text adventure, just rendered in a low resolution graphics mode with some primitive graphics. Sentinel Worlds looks cool, I'll check it out!

Shamelessly hijacking your question because I too am trying to find a pair of games. They were text adventures that had some primitive graphics running in a low res mode. One was set on Mars exploring an abandoned(?) Base in a sci fi settin

Perfectly understandable. Having re-read what I wrote, I apologise if came off as criticizing your past lack of action! I wrote more from the position of wanting to provide advice for anyone else who finds themselves in a similar situation

Paying money you don't owe them is definitely the wrong move. I'd have written them a letter providing them with proof that the first bill had been paid and stating that I will not enter into any further correspondence. It would b

The default behaviour of the kernel is no rp filtering at all. Older versions of systems enabled strict to filtering, no doubt causing the same sort of complaints from people who like to complain about that sort of thing. Newer versions rel

What happens today if everyone in, say, the United Kingdom switches to 'green' electricity providers? I hardly think the result will be blackouts...

Wouldn't you have the option of running the helper process within the mount namespace but not the process namespace of the container? Regardless, openat2 looks like a much better solution. I hope it's backported to LTS distros so

> The fix included patching the init function of docker-tar to call arbitrary functions from the problematic Go packages. This forced docker-tar to load the libnss libraries before chrooting to the container, and thus from the host files

In my experience these are PDFs that embed JavaScript. I don't think there is much of an appetite for building yet another JS interpreter into the desktop...

To be fair the entire approach was flawed and should have been abandoned in favour of SELinux plus something like seccomp years before.

FYI, you can do the same thing with drop-in config files and avoid the annoying dpkg-conffile prompt whenever you upgrade grub2-common: $ cat /etc/default/grub.d/mitigations.cfg GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GR

pipx looks nice. Is there any way to persuade it to install 'wheel' before it installs the desired package? That way 'pipx install foo' can download and install wheels rather than downloading source distributions and bui

You can use the cpu cgroup controller to starve your program of CPU time. Use the cpu.cfs_quota_us and cpu.cfs_period_us knobs. Now if only there was a way to use the blkio controller to emulate the performance characteristics of spinning r

Thank you! Now if only this was documented! Come to think of it, only there was a PIP_DEFAULT_VIRTUALENV_PROJECTDIR variable which would causes pip to look upwards until it found a setup.py file, and then use a .venv directory in that direc
