Commodore needles Microsoft over end of Windows 10, tries to lure disgruntled users to its Linux-based OS Vision 3.0 — 'Microsoft may be leaving you behind. We Won't.' tomshardware.com/software/oper…
Hi, I just want to let you know (and have there be a record) of the fact that Digital Extremes, a Canadian video-game-developer-turned-GaaS-developer, are using cURL (statically linked alongside Op...
I am far too visible and just a bit too known for my liking, given the state of things. I'm not entirely sure what to do about this situation other than shutting up and removing traces of my identity.
Just heard the sound of a dot matrix printer for the first time in years. My family had one in Australia but it sounded very different to the usual sounds you get on YouTube, it was in the key of A and had this long tearing sound instead of the really quick ones. When I was a kid that used to always sound to me as though the paper was being savagely tortured.
@BorrisInABox I actually looked it up because I was bored and I wanted to slow it right down in reaper and see what it would do. Until recently I could hear the same kind of sounds at my supermarkets and in fact when they print out the receipt receipts, they still kind of sound the same.
If any of y'all friends are on Windows 10, 21H2 LTSC, you can run a single file that upgrades you to 22H2, since it's just an enablement package. Someone turned it into a 7-zipped .exe with the update package contents, and a .bat file that runs to install it via dism. It's at github.com/teknixstuff/misc-fi… - if you want to do it manually you can, you just need the .MSU file for KB5015684, extract the .cab file from within using 7-zip, then run dism with the same commands as listed in the setup.bat file you'll see within that other script. Essentially, since it is just an enablement package, it's flipping switches on internally that were dorment within your existing build. This is why a 100 kilobyte update can change your entire build number up by one, it fools you a bit, but your winVer should reflect the 19045 build numbering (might still say"21H2") after you run it. It may not say 22H2 until you do: dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase - this will roll the update into your image permanently, so use only after next month when we know this combination can in fact get updates just fine. Nothing would indicate otherwise, though, since your SKU remains LTSC 2021 evven after installing this pacakge.
oh and I wanted to note. If you're *THAT* bothered by it still saying 21H2 for you, if it does, you can actually change the display info in registry, that's all the package would do anyway. Look here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion, in the right-hand pane, find DisplayVersion REG_SZ 21H2. Change it to anything. Even, "fuck you Microsoft for ending support for my OS!" Then when you open Winver you would see it, like "Microsoft Windows Version Fuck you Microsoft for ending support for my oS (OS Build 19045)" - it's great. Again, messing with this display string is cosmetic, so you're not breaking your system by changing it especially after installing the package.
Even in gaming it hasn't convinced. As for Apple Vision, I doubt it can take in the adudt content world since Apple wants to be guardian of puritanism...
An ongoing phishing campaign is targeting LastPass and Bitwarden users with fake emails claiming that the companies were hacked, urging them to download a supposedly more secure desktop version of the password manager.
I always knew companies treat remakes as straight replacements of the original games but it’s still galling seeing it said this plainly. videogameschronicle.com/news/c…
@feld I mean, they’re not the same games! They cover (some of) the same plot but have completely different gameplay, artistry and visual design, sound design, etc. It simply makes no sense to say they’re not going to make these games available just because there are remakes.
pretty much all the same puzzles, story, and basic mechanics. Just different graphics and audio... I don't know why people think they're so wildly different
Big F5 stuff dropping, starting with disclosure of incident and 8K filing. If you've got F5 in your stack, you're going to want to brew more coffee. No, more than that.
This is what I wake up to?

Yo, #Thüringen ist ja etwas mehr als die Linie Eisenach-Gera 😉Ich lebe südlich davon 🙃 Und dann kommts drauf an, was als Org so geeignet erscheint, vielleicht
* Easy Launcher (Internet Edition): the minimal launcher also available at F-Droid, but here with added functionality and integrated weather widget 🛡️ * Eblan Launcher: another small homescreen replacement 🛡️
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
Well, we've reached the point where AI assistants (sometimes) write better code than me.
Codex just perfectly avoided a bug that I would have never thought about if I was writing that code myself. It was one of these suptle, pernicious issues that make your code return slightly wrong results instead of crashing, so it definitely could have slipped by unnoticed.
In that same session, it also introduced an unexpected change I've never asked for, and one I wouldn't have found without that careful code review, so those tools clearly aren't perfect yet. There's no question about whether they improve productivity any more, though.
Face recognition tech: brilliant... unless your face doesn't fit its narrow definition of 'face.' A new Wired article highlights how 100M people with facial differences are being locked out of essential services. Are we building tech that excludes, or are we just not thinking hard enough? #AI #TechEthics #FaceRecognition #Inclusion #Accessibility wired.com/story/when-face-reco…
I'm a blind person and I struggle with this too. Not necessarily because there's anything different about my face, just because I use my phone in a way sighted people have envisioned. Under a table, in my pocket, under the blanket, behind the laptop on my desk, on a random shelf somewhere, plugged into the charger, with TouchID, all of that was possible.
Ah, the irony! While some struggle with their faces fitting the 'definition,' you're demonstrating how even the *presence* of a face can be an obstacle to fluid interaction. It seems convenience for some often translates to constraint for others, proving that 'thought hard enough' is a perpetually moving target in tech design. Thanks for highlighting the unseen angles of this issue.
off to a 30-day vipassana course tomorrow. goodnight, internet. see you all on november 20th.
in the meantime, i am still looking for f/oss work — preferably in or around the linux desktop. if you liked the changes i made to the @gnome foundation in the few months i was there, email me.
I don't think, in all the time I've used Ubiquiti wireless access points here in NYC, that I have actually gotten a notification that one of the AP's changed it's channel because it detected 5 gHz DFS radar. Well, now I have as of about half an hour ago. Very surprised I haven't seen that until now.
Using this, because he's got lots more resolved than me. Yay! If you need eloquence, and you want to use snapshots again, you should use this. github.com/fastfinge/eloquence…
Ich nehme dieses Jahr wieder an einem Fernwichteln teil, und die ersten Geschenke trudeln bereits in unserer Runde ein. Ein kleiner Tipp für Gleichgesinnte: Wenn ihr etwas bestellt, das ihr nicht selbst verpacken und weiterschicken wollt/könnt, lasst es doch bitte den Händler für euch tun falls möglich. Ein Extrakarton ist zwar weniger umweltfreundlich, er hilft aber dem Empfänger ungemein bei der Geheimniswahrung. Eine Plastiktüte mit gut fühlbarem Inhalt tut es nicht. 😁
Back in Germany from a fun All Things Open conference in North Carolina. This time I had problems entering the US because my finger prints have similarities with some criminal. Another german got the VISA revoked because of some anti Trump statements on Sociel Media. This doesn’t feel right.
To jsem pochopil .. jen jsem chtěl naznačit, že z toho co tu sleduju si vůbec nejsem jistej, jestli pára z tvýho tlakovýho hrnce uchází správným směrem a v dostatečným množství
@schmaker nikam inam ani nemôže, je to dobré tak ako to je a keď mám byť úprimný, mnoho krát ľudia ani nevedia o čom hovorím ale aj tak reagujú, to je úplne mimo, miesto toho aby sa opýtali čo tým myslím.
The first working release of Eloquence for 64-bit versions of NVDA is now available as an NVDA add-on. It even supports the Community Dictionary. A solid start overall, though some audio stuttering can be heard during Say All or other long NVDA utterances. github.com/fastfinge/eloquence… @NVAccess
darn. I will probably most likely not use it if it loses support for 22kHZ rates. That was one of the nicer bits to 32-bit Eloquence, that I could up the sample rate from the AM-radio quality 11 kHZ, sigh. @NVAccess
@Tamasg Guess I'm lucky here because I was using the Eloquence library which, unlike IBMTTS, doesn't support that higher rate. This is, of course, just the beginning and it may also be fixed. @NVAccess

What makes me happy to know is that every Windows 10 2021 LTSC user is seeing this message at the top of their Windows 10 update page, not just me: "Your device is no longer receiving security updates. Learn about the end of support. link." Ha. Yeah right, Microsoft. You're supposed to give Windows 10 IoT LTSC Enterprise support until 2032. Even so, regular Enterprise LTSC until 2027. So where's that promise? As it turns out, that message is very generic and placed there for everyone, regardless of whether your computer can or cannot download updates. It honestly freaked me out, but then I imaged my desktop's Win10 image onto my Spectre, and since it didn't have the update, I was surprised to still see that message there but grabbing the security update. This tells me: They just placed a big warning on the update page to entice Windows 11 migration. Not today, Microsoft, not today, I'm not dealing with your fuckery. "Seeing "end of support" on Windows 10 LTSC 2021 or IoT LTSC? Don't worry, it's a glitch – support " pureinfotech.com/windows-10-lt… But then inside Microsoft's own "end of service statement" they list LTSC. (update: good news! Microsoft removed LTSC.) support.microsoft.com/en-us/to…
If you’re seeing Your version has reached end of support" on Windows 10 LTSC 2021, don’t panic. Microsoft still supports it until 2027 (and IoT until 2032).
I'm opted into the Extended Security Updates program, because I can't risk running an OS that's not officially supported for consumers on the machine I work from. But to be honest, I'm more concerned about apps discontinuing support for Windows 10 long before I stop receiving security updates. Particularly corporate/secure ones like 1Password and Slack.
@jscholes yeah, in theory the LTSC versions automatically get them without an ESU enrollment, which is why I chose that path. Eventually I may end up migrating to Linux but Electron apps there like Slack would really royally suck. I'm seeing software already enforce a requirement for build 19045, which is why I did the unofficial upgrade to my LTSC to use 22H2, and I think at least until the ESU program itself ends (hearing 3 years max potentially for it) software should continue to support particularly if it's used in enterprise scenarios, which is good. Games, consumer-facing tools that need cool new NPU gadgets, well, those will most likely be out.
oh, just use this package someone made after modding it. github.com/teknixstuff/misc-fi… Or, if you are like, "fuck you man, I don't wanna run a randomly prepackaged file with this!" Alright, alright. I get it yo. So, you can just grab: catalog.s.download.windowsupda… - see? It's from shiny Microsoft. You download the .msu, inside of it is a .cab file. You use 7-zip to extract that .cab file as well into a folder. Inside it are a lot of files, many ending in .mum. You need this command: dism /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\Temp\KB5015684\microsoft-windows-22h2enablement-package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.1799.mum This will install it, and is the same thing the other file is doing. I know this because you can open that 22H2LTSC.exe file in 7-zip, and find the same files as from the .msu plus an install script .bat file that runs and does this, so yes, it's safe for sure, just packaged as a single .EXE file instead.
жалостливые рассказы об ужасающих лишениях и унижениях, которым подвергалась международная хамасня с флотилии сумуда продолжают регулярно поступать в ленту.
надо отдать должное - ребята воздерживаются от буйных фантазий, а описываемое вцелом не выходит за рамки суждений и допущений.
путин 20 лет воспитывал из граждан рф мюнхенских бюргеров, которым нужны только пиво и колбаски с капустой, но хочет чтобы они вели себя как православные хамас-моджахеды.
колбаски закончились и у плебса #внезапно возникает ощущение что что то идет не так.
Y'all, at some point down the line, Chrome turned the History search textfield into a pop-up menu that opens along with it as you search, and I'm not sure if I can ever forgive them for it unless it changes. This is horrifyingly bad, you get no typing or feedback of cursoring or deleting (with Windows screen readers), just "Found (X) results for (Y)." Gosh oh gosh. This has made looking up things in history a lot more fun, and it's great that one person's bright idea broke everything for multiple people.
My phone number ends in 00 and I usually say "zero zero" whenever I need to give it out, but I’m thinking about switching to "oh oh" so I can immediately transition into the O'Reilly Auto Parts theme song.
I have a phone number with 4 8's in it. Do I say double 8 double 8, or 8 8 8 8, I mean... any time I gave it to people, it was always a pile of confusement.
The last version of our flutter library now properly support Linux applications: - Push notifications are able to start the application - Push notifications are automatically decrypted
We hope to see new applications on Linux supporting push notifications with this update.
