This goes as far as blocking new devices connected while the screen is locked, so noone will connect spy device and exfiliate your data while you are away from your computer.
You give your credentials to some third party and it tries them? Like, you break your contract with the bank and forgo all your rights to complain on fraudalent charges? Check the ToS of you bank – all of them make sharing your credentials a "game over" situation for account owner. Almost every single bank provide and API for external parties to initiate payments (in this situation authorisation is processed by Bank). Pay-by-link is standard in all banks, and OpenAPI (PSD2) will force rest of them to comply. But if you share you credentials, you are lost.
Visit https://eu.usatoday.com/ and try not to blink, or you will miss page loading and rendering. They decided that getting rid of JS trackers is a better business decision than implementing all the consent gathering, required by EU law. Now USA Today page loads fast.
Gmail app redesign shows even less information than before. Years ago gmail app displayed about dozen emails on one screen. During the last redesign they limited it to 6-7 emails. This white redesign shows 3 (and a half) emails. This smells like a ploy to make people stop using it.
The problem was uncovered by Ubuntu last year: https://linux.slashdot.org/sto... It was so grave they had to pull down released version and patch the workaround.
If you are not sure what is deleted, just wait 2 months. Then GPDR will come into force and FB will have to DELETE everything upon request. Or cease functioning (the fines are gargantuan). This is of course if you live in civilised world where the regulation have force. If you live outside EU – tough luck, consider moving.
Nb. don't believe this happens often? See the example from one random distribution: https://koji.fedoraproject.org... Look into the changelog – how often governments change their minds and how few days are left to react.
I'd really like getting rid of DST. But I expect quite a fallout caused by devices keeping time (and observing DST) but not getting updates. We have witnessed struggles with operating systems, when governments decide to move time change date and companies fail to apply upgraded tzdata package. With embedded devices this will be many times worse.
Wow, few paragraphs about Intel's fuckup and the culprit name isn't mentioned even once. It's Intel. Red Hat merely retracted updates developed and provided by Intel.
Actually Norway was first, but there are dates set to sunset analog radio in most countries. IIRC around 2024 there would be no FM transmissions in Europe. Surprisingly, analog radio sunset is harder than move from analog to digital TV. TV switchover was much quicker, it was mostly done few years ago. But radio 1) is much easier and reliable to use in emergencies; 2) is used in many cars, and a car have about 15 years lifetime.
Actually, the bug is not in libidn, but in libidn2. Or rather was – it got fixed rather quickly – https://gitlab.com/libidn/libi... As for systemd, it uses libidn by default. libidn2 support is marked as experimental – reasonable decision as this bug shows. The submitted article is pure flamebait - this is not a bug in systemd suite, but in 3rd party library; to experience this (already fixed) bug, distribution would have to have enabled experimental option. No sane distro does that.
Nb. The Register articles with even a passing mentions of systemd are terribly misleading and often blatantly false.
Slashdot Mirror
Its speed is relative to what?
On Linux we have a solution – using Thunderbolt security levels to authorize external devices:

I believe majority of Slashdot users are Linux users. And some of them may even used Apple devices.
Seriously? Deriding Linux users _on Slashdot_?
Have you ever played RTS with touch-screen equipped laptop? Mouse is obsolete.

Madly comfortable. Too bad you can't buy one without numpad and mouse in kit. Mouse and numpad never left the cardboard they came in.
This is interesting, in a bad way. The only reason listed is that Red Hat develops OpenShift - a Kubernetes distribution with fancy Web UI.
They decided to cancel DST change a day before it was planned. Good luck getting your software updated to take into account new order.

Android did it first, with Essential phone.

If 80% of trucks are being driven by foreign drivers, this is exactly the ratio you would expect in accidents.

Pretty useless to link articles without linking the actual top10: http://uj3wazyk5u4hnvtk.onion/...

It's at the 6th place at the moment.
You seem to have missed Jolla phone. Systemd, btrfs, wayland, shipped couple years ago.
