  • Soon, some linux newbies would search for how to do something with sudo and spent an hour scratching their head trying to figure out why the command not working, only to realize they copy pasted sudo command for windows instead.

  • "Let's give our new command line app the same name as a popular linux command even though it's not the same app and behaves differently. I'm sure our users would appreciate it when they have problem with the app and trying to search the solution later."

  • ✅ Lawn

    ✅ Driveway that fits two cars

    ✅ Two baths

    ✅ Not sharing walls with neighbor

  • This looks heavy. Finally you can game and getting awesome biceps at the same time! Put bigger battery for longer gaming time and bigger biceps.

  • When Google Glass was a thing, I remember people being alarmed with the fact that it has a front facing camera and worry it'll be abused to record videos in inappropriate settings without permission (e.g. public restroom). I think there were instances where the glass wear getting harassed because of this. The camera wasn't even turned on by default.

    Fast forward today, the vision pro has multiple always on cameras pointing to every direction, yet the thing most people worry about is how goofy it looks?

    How times have changed. I guess people are more comfortable getting recorded these days with so many CCTV and smartphones around.

  • It supposed to have a large selection of light seal cushions to choose from. If it's uncomfortable or the light was not fully blocked, then the cushion was probably not fit for you. They didn't offer to change the cushion to fit your face before testing?

  • I think on redhat/fedora it uses runc by default and on debian/arch it uses crun by default.

  • I believe podman and containerd use runc under the hood so they're also affected by this container escape vulnerability. You should update it to the latest version.

  • Who need GUI to watch youtube? You can watch them directly in terminal with mpv. Try it:

    mpv --vo=tct "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

  • I think it's either Super Mario Land on gameboy, or Super Mario Bros on NES. I can't remember which.

  • Is there any payment involved? In general, companies usually use your details for fraud check. If you use fake details, chance that it can trip the fraud check on their payment processor.

  • These new realtime deepfake system is very good. DeepFaceLive was one of the example. It can generate deepfake in realtime from just a single photo, and even more convincing deepfake if you have thousands of target's photos/video frames to train the deepfake models. It's not surprising if someone could fall for it if they're not aware of the technology.

  • Acting senior superintendent Baron Chan Shun-ching of the Hong Kong police emphasized the novelty of this scam, noting that it was the first instance in Hong Kong where victims were deceived in a multi-person video conference setting. He pointed out the scammer's strategy of not engaging directly with the victim beyond requesting a self-introduction, which made the scam more convincing.

    The police have offered tips for verifying the authenticity of individuals in video calls, such as asking them to move their heads or answer questions that confirm their identity, especially when money transfer requests are involved. Another potential solution to deepfake scams in corporate environments is to equip every employee with an encrypted key pair, establishing trust by signing public keys at in-person meetings. Later, in remote communications, those signed keys could be used to authenticate parties within the meeting.

    If you're a rank-and-file employee in a virtual meeting with your company's top brass, it probably won't occur in your mind to ask them to turn their heads to see if it'll glitch. The scammers can just act offended and ignore your request instead. Chance that you're going to fear for your employment and apologize profusely.

    The key exchange mechanism suggested by the article sounds impractical because the employees from HK likely never meet the CFO from UK in person. Maybe the corporate video conferencing system should have a company-wide key registry, but if the scammers managed to hack in and insert their own key or steal a top brass's video conferencing accounts, then it'll probably moot.

  • Whelp, it's Gizmodo. Calling it "journalism" is a stretch.

  • Might want to check ZeroTier too. They don't have as much features as Tailscale, but have more relaxed limit. If you can't decide, you can use both Tailscale and ZeroTier at the same time without issue.

  • I'm not a native speaker and was taught not to use it in middle school.
