... yeah, linus has turned into a bit of a douche in the past 20 years since I've been following linux development and running linux desktops at various points. He's always had a rather blunt and direct way of saying things, but the level of vitriol and profanity lately is just way over the top.
Easily surmountable problems. Intel slap some uber fast cache memory right next to the CPU for direct access to the CPU/GPU cores. I'm not saying they will necessarily compete at the uber high end, but the uber high end is depserately looking for an actual market to sell to these days - the software is trailing.
Why would intel go to "discrete" graphics when they could just build the same tech into their CPU and take advantage of local cache, not need to go over the PCI bus, etc?
This. I don't use fail2ban, but require usage of a secure VPN before being allowed to hit SSH. I simply do not allow SSH to be hit from outside at all. But yes, if you do not have other infrastructure in front of your box, allowing SSH only from known administrative IPs or IP ranges (at least) and using something like fail2ban is a very good idea.
Moving to a different port number is no real defence at all. Sure, it might avoid REALLY bran dead automated attackers, but thinking you're safe is very much a case of a false sense of security.
Yes rounded corners was one of the items. But it wasn't the single item as some seem to like to suggest. To be sued you don't need to merely use rounded corners. You need to copy the entire design wholesale. Not a single element. This is why HTC and Nokia (amongst others) haven't been sued.
Apple isn't suing over simply rounded corners. They are suing over devices that copy many, many things in a single device. Things that didn't have to be the same and that in apples opinion (to be decided b a jury) were copied to ride the iPhone's success by confusing the market.
Every car i have owned has locked the steering wheel when the key is removed in the "lock" position irrespective of transmission. Those cars being, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Pulsar, Nissan 180SX, Mazda 323, Holden Commodore, BMW 535i.
This is a problem. The computer doesn't know what is going on. if i press "stop" the car should fucking STOP, because I'm the one who knows the circumstances. Trying to cater to dick-heads doing the wrong thing at the expense of people who get fucked over in an emergency is entirely the WRONG thing to do.
Have been riding for 25 years, and used the kill switch on multiple occasions, including when moving. It is the same as running the engine out of fuel, and no you will not instantly die in a ball of fire.
Our mine site vehicles have to have an isolation switch fitted by law. However it is on the outside, intended for use if the vehicle is being serviced / on fire / etc. But moving it to the cab would be very easily done.
If start/stop button in cars like this are allowed to solely trigger software a MCU it's a failure of both the regulator and the designers.
IMO there should always be a way to turn off the engine which relies on simple hardware... connecting some parallel electronics to the start button to detect say a 2 second depression for an emergency shutdown without going through anything more complex than passives, transistors and relays is trivial.
that. motorcycles have had kill switches for decades, the fact that a car has been designed and produced and allowed on the road without a method to kill it like that is a disgrace.
Having run out of fuel with both cars and motorcycles at high speed, i am telling you that the results are not catastrophic. In fact, that's how the guy stopped. Killing ignition = same result.
It varies by car. For example, Skylines R32-34 run a drum handbrake on the back, separate from the normal rear discs. Land-rover defender in at least some year models have a handbrake that operates on the transfer box.

Maybe because Linux owes the openBSD team plenty in terms of discovery of holes in open source software, providing a secure SSH daemon, etc?

For those who want a decent free desktop without the political asshattery - there's PC-BSD.
burned out maybe?
LOL. Because firefox is doing so well :D
What century are YOU living in? Integrated GPUs have come a long way and are improving faster than software requirements are advancing.

Again, Samsung were told to sort shit out by the judge and tried and failed.
What's to say this hasn't been tred already?
It is only called an e-brake in the US to my knowledge.

That is NOT a MECHANICAL cut off.
Cars built since the 1950s and earlier have had hydraulic clutches. I don't believe you understand what you're talking about.

Sounds like most hand brakes you've used need adjusting.
It varies by car. For example, Skylines R32-34 run a drum handbrake on the back, separate from the normal rear discs. Land-rover defender in at least some year models have a handbrake that operates on the transfer box.
Rear brakes only = not much stopping power.
