The internal auto updater of the app directly use github as source, was this also compromised ? If malware was only on some random apkmirror upload then it should probably be fine for most users.

The only time I ever triggered fraud detection system on my card I got a text message from bank that was "Your card is blocked due to suspicious usage, please call 'number'". And the number was also some random unlisted one. Only reason I didn't just ignore the thing is I did make a purchase on new website a half an hour before.

Called my local bank and they confirmed this was legit, I almost went off on a full rant about how bad their protocol is for this.

After trying both several time I since stayed with google due to cloudflare always returning really bad IPs for anything involving CDN. Having users complain stuff take age to load because you got matched to an IP on opposite side of planet is a bit problematic especially when it rarely happen on other dns providers. Maybe there is a way to fix this but I admit I went for the easier option of going back to good old 8.8.8.8

Yeah pretty much. In a perfect world you would pair it with another service I guess but usually you use the official backup IP because it's not supposed to break at same time.

This behavior suck.

Time to disable the free trial for a month halfway into their trial and see how it goes. This is probably why most trials now request you to reach sales first (well, on top of obviously ensuring they have a way to send an offer).

draw.io probably . It's pretty good for a free tool. If you lost the xml I think it even work to import directly an exported picture (I guess they append the data into it too).

Another video today from Der8auer showed him reproduce the issue on his model. He showed a 22A load and 150°C point on a single wire. The problem seem to be much worse somehow, clearly no balancing between the wire on the founder edition.

Interesting and surprising they really had rules, thanks for the clarification. I'm ashamed to say I opened this page and read it wrong the first time by skipping the first sentence.

Wasn't silk road selling way more than just drugs ? Like, pornography and gun, worldwide. When you facilitate both sex trafficking, organized crime and potentially terrorism you can't exactly be surprised you get hit with everything.

It's crazy how downhill Gandi went in 2 years. Went from decently priced French registar to basically asking for 70€ a year for a mailbox and lately asked me for over 40€ to renew a dot dev domain. I ended up transferring all my domains due to this.

This is like the warning in emails about "not reading it if you aren't supposed to have received it" like yeah sure how do you know it's not for you then.

I do need to correct myself, look like "friendship" started before his election: https://www.euronews.com/2023/07/18/a-privileged-relationshi...

Pretty crazy to support a business designed to never pay tax. This bring nothing beside "precarious employment".

It's definitely interference/obstruction at least of the raid itself yeah, but looking at the text and not being a lawyer I have a feeling it may be extremely hard to prosecute for something more substantial than a fine low enough for a french exec have it a as a guaranteed expense (bn€ in tax fraud vs a few k€ in fine). The law does also mention prison but it's not the kind of stuff that ever end up being applied for fiscal related cases.

That's basically what happened when they tried (twice I think ?) to raid Uber offices in France, their boss pressed a kill switch and everything went down in seconds. It completely blocked the investigation.

Afterward Uber helped Macron campaign who then ordered National Financial Prosecutor's office to "stop bothering them" so I don't think anything new happened since.

Edit: Some sources in below replies for infos on both. Turn out I'm wrong for 2nd part it started earlier than his campaign.

Pretty sure the airtight casing is here on purpose to trap flammables gas a dying cell create. Without it it would be very unsafe to use this type of batteries.

You would need to get rid of kernel level drivers for that to work. Which right now would completely disable any security software. But if it's ever done yeah this wouldn't be such a bad idea to isolate apps. However any security API would still have to allow read only access, which would be enough for most cheats, and by design blocking this type of access should never be possible since antivirus/EDR will need this.

I wonder when we'll start to have some estimate of indirect/direct death toll. This took down several 911 type services and hospitals, some reported imaging down, some being back to paper and pen at ER.

Interesting, in my head aptitude was an ubuntu thing so I never tried in debian. Thanks for the tip.

I don't have anything against apt, it's just specific edge cases when it really saved me massive headaches by being able to remove and add during same change without having to remove all apps depending on it.

I realy like debian but is there any equivalent to yum ? It did some really nice advanced stuff I don't think you can replicate with apt. The shell mode avoided me some really big trouble several times (erlang updates often made me uninstall anything using it on update).

Current job doesn't give me many chances to use linux rn so I'm a bit out of touch. Recently took a look at rocky and it felt like a centos. also tried ubuntu but I recall I had to remove some ads package yeah.

The worst about preroll is they often fail and run 2-3 times in a row before registering you saw them. Can confirm I just stopped searching new streamers due to that. Even the one that aren't supposed to have preroll because they run ads still tend have some somehow, I guess twitch force them anyway or it's just bugged.

Pretty amazing, they make you pay a very high monthly free to use office and now this is just going to be a web wrapper.

I can confirm you need some kind of legal address (person or company) in France to register a .fr domain.

Twitch "permanently" won by injecting ads directly on the feed, right now best you can do is sneak swap the small resolution version that stay on the side until they also removed this.

Same thing for many websites in France but I didn't find any track if it being challenged in court.

I doubt EU lawmakers planned for this approach to defeat privacy laws, it's definitely against the spirit but this will need an update. In FB case if you pay they 100% still track you anyway, they've been pretty clear they don't care even if they get caught.

Another angle against FB moving to a paid access system would be they could be considered public service due to how omnipresent the service is in day to day life, but lately it's probably more true for their other services like Insta or Whatsapp.

Compared the apple vs epic case this time the angle seem to be from consumer side with an added argument "consumer would pay less if Sony made less margin" which is technically correct but is absolutely insane from a business angle.

That's basically claiming business shouldn't be able to set their price if their margin is deemed unfair... which is a pretty daring claim. While regulation on pricing could be interesting it's not exactly a judge job and it would be a bit counter current with how the world economy currently work.

As for the whole "closed ecosystem" part this have been debated thousand of time already, nothing new here except I'm not sure it was attempted in UK yet.

Pretty sure it's 550 now, price went up a while ago.

Chrome have been the IE6 situation all over again for a while now, except this time it's possibly too late to walk back. They are pretty much done taking over the standard.

Also just noticed this morning by clicking on an url in discord I got a windows popup to choose my browser instead of directly opening Firefox.

They seem to want to money beyond Nitro right now despite it being very pricy (100€/year right now for non classic one). They just added very basic paid animated frames sold for 10€ each and with a crappy discount for Nitro users.

It's basically a free S3-type storage, easy to use with little to no limits or controls (even a deleted upload used to stay valid for weeks). I'm surprised this went on that long even if size limit stop piracy it could still easily used on a large scale for suspicious pictures hosting.
