Not much to say about #AMD outside of that huge gap up after #NVDA earnings. Wow. 📈

Options data is likely going to be messy on AMD today and tomorrow as people take profits and contracts get assigned.

Dark pool sentiment for #AMD is still positive and the biggest dark pool level for the moment is $107.46 (by a lot).

Some bearish dark pool trades came through last night for AMD and NVDA, so exercise caution playing here at the top. Many traders will want to take profits, some will get greedy, and AI is uncharted territory.

The market will likely pick winners in the AI race and will likely pick them violently. Just don't find yourself without a chair when the music stops.

Not financial advice. Do your homework.

TIL that "spool" as used in "print spooler" is an acronym that stands for "Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On Line". Image is an excerpt from Inside AppleTalk, Second Edition, page 14-3.

Although there may be some disagreement: is it a backronym? (Missing verification.) See the Wikipedia page for more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spooling

*Edited to include backronym reference from Wikipedia page.

#RetroComputing #VintageComputing

THE WORD SPOOL is an acronym for Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On Line, and a print spooler is a hardware application or a software application (or both) that is used to store data on a disk temporarily until the printer is ready to process it. Since the print spooler handles the interaction required with the printer in order to accomplish the printing process, use of a spooler frees the originating computer, such as an Apple Macintosh computer, to perform other activities during the printing process. This chapter describes AppleTalk print spooling in general and compares printing with a spooler to printing without a spooler. In addition, since print spooling can be accomplished either by a spooler/server or as a background process on the originating computer, this chapter also compares these two options.

I almost didn't believe it... but I found this description in an IBM document from 1966. (source: archive.org/details/bitsavers_…)
In some programming systems, either batch or SPOOL file-to-file utilities can be processed. Batch file-to-file utilities are run independently when no other program is being run. SPOOL (Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On Line) utility programs are designed to maximize total job throughput. For example, if one program does not require the full I/O capacity of the system, other peripheral operations can concurrently use the I/O facilities that would otherwise be idle. Also, a program that normally uses slow speed I/O devices (such as printers, card readers, and card punches) can direct its output to high speed I/O devices (such as magnetic tape or disk units). Later, a SPOOL operation can transfer this data from the high-speed to a low-speed I/O device if concurrent programs do not need this pair of I/O devices.

According to a new report from Secureworks, endpoint attack vectors that include email, popular operating systems, and apps are on the rise.

In response to attacks by way of Android apps, Google has removed thousands of nefarious apps that had the capability to launch malware enabling developers to launch a wide array of attacks including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), and Ransomware attacks.

I think we need to be more precise with statements such as "support intrusive apps".

This is true in case where those apps are preinstalled by vendor with no possibility to remove. Also the whole GMS case.

The fact that it's nearly impossible to buy phone without built-in telemetry scares me.

Just keep in mind that community based #lineageos and #DivestOS are Android but doesn't include or support this crap.

Thank you for effort you put into mobile Linux development!

I let my cats explore my desk as they wish, except when they step on a keyboard or something. Then I gently grab them and pull them away. This has lead to a situation where they now know not to step on them, and are pretty good at avoiding stepping on things... unless they want my attention. Then they will systematically go through every steppable thing until they find the one that makes the most noise and keep doing it until I stop what I'm doing. They know. There's no other explanation. I refuse to believe anything else.

I need to repeat that number, it's too nice:

If you were one of the 50,000+ people who downloaded a once-legit recording app from Google Play, there's a strong likelihood that conversations and other ambient sound captured by your device is now in the hands of unknown attackers:
