Speaking of incompatible. I've been trying and failing to create a video Chat kiosk on a Raspberry Pi. It used to be that one could use Jitsi-meet in the web portal fotm, set the browser in kiosk mode and voila. But the web portal using the raspian chromium no longer sees the attached webcams. (tried several and all failed, even though the raspi can see the cameras just fine). Or one could install the application for jitsi-meet. But Jitss-meet seems to no longer offering any Debian-ARM packages. Likewise Skype no longer works on Linux raspberry pi. I've seen one x86 emulator for raspi that claims to be able to run skypeX86 but that's a really stand on your head and fragile way to solve the problem. I looked into ULV4 but it seems to want some components from jitsi-meet so that's a dead end.
Thus things that used to work no longer seem to. Anyone have any pointers for how to stand up a Video Chat Kiosk on a raspberry Pi?
Every couple years I rotate from Safari to Firefox to chrome. At any given point in time one of these is definitely better. But if you continue to assume that whatever was best when you last checked remains the case you are in for a surprise. Leadership definitley movess around. And it's pretty much always the case that Edge and Safari are better on batteries. Safari is also better on network bandwidth too.
At the moment I'm phasing out chrome as I'm finding the others work better at this point in time. Also I dislike that chrome seems to basically spy on me and link everything to my google account even when I try to keep it separate.
for my residual chrome needs I've also been experimenting with Epic, the chrome like browser that is privacy focused.
Apple should offr the phones for two prices. Regular price, and at a $25 discount. With the discount you trade back your right to repair. It's a contract so it's legal. And it respects that apple does take on risks when fumble fingered "professionals" damage phones. Yet it's not a burden for people who care about the restriction will not be willing to pay.
Who "downloads" with SMB. SMB is a distributed file system like NFS isn't it. transferring files on an intranet is not what we conventionally mean by "download". The latter usually implies the importation of file from the internet not a local net. It's misleading to conflate these as one usually has quite different procedures in the security onion for treating these two cases.
Look at me I'm claiming I'm a judge so now the public must treat me as a fully qualified judge even though I have not government accreditation as a judge.
As long as you don't read the editoral section or even one of the comments, the WSJ has great news. In part it's because they try to provide analysis. What does this news mean to you. The washington post is doing something similar but they are a lot more hyperventilating than the WSJ.
But for the love of god do not read the comments section. It will make you weep for humanity. Nothing but kneejerks, tards, and flambait. And the editorial section is pretty hilarious because they appear to have built a firewall between they editorail commentary and the news analaysis such that very often their news analysis flatly rejects the basis of their own editorials. Fairly rabid editorials.
yes there is something wrong with it. It's a creeping ivy that climbs the healthy trees and kills them. By getting more and more people to surrender to their "free" offerings that cost of residing outside the google sphere or facebook toxic beach become prohibitive. Already there's dozens of sites I can't fully use because it takes a facebook login to us. Same with google+ registrations on many sites. Thus even though I'm willing to pay for my privacy (by using Apple products and services) I can't reach the whole internet anymore. And the only reason they can get away with this is because millions of you have surrendered to this instead of fighting against it. It doesn't matter if you felt you had nothing to lose, it matters to the whole internet what you did.
"...giant companies that make up today’s tech oligopoly — Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google and Microsoft. But, as tectonic shifts like this occur in technology, oligopolies get shaken up. For instance: today, Apple is the biggest of the group. By all reports, it’s working seriously on AR, self-driving cars and health initiatives. But its strict and admirable privacy policies make it harder for it to gather the vast amounts of data required for the best machine learning...."
In otherwords, we all want what apple is selling-- high tech with respect for privacy and restraint from exploiting the consumer. But were not willing to pay for it so we sell our souls to the dark encroaching shadow of google and facebook.
Boy this is Deja Vu. It's exactly what happened with the Unions, the Pinkerton Detective agency and the tacit support of the US government in the early part of last century. Look up Eugene Debs in Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... He helped form the first nation wide trade union in the US (for the trains). And when they struck the Pullman company arranged with the complicity of the US govt to acquire the US mail contract making it a federal crime not to couple pulman cars to trains. Along the way someone set off a bomb (probably the pinkertons to frame the union strikers) and the entire union leadership was imprisoned. there's a nice picture of them all in their sunday best taken together in jail on the wikipedia site. (ironically in Woodstock, a place more known for 60s rock concerts now) . While in prison together Debs started reading various socialist literature and when they were release formed the Socialist party in the USA. He ran for president several times getting millions of votes (6% of the popular vote). He became famous for a stump speech saying no working class person should be going to fight in World War II because it's just a richmans war making the munitions makers richer and killing the poor. He was arrested for treason and sedition, sentenced to 10 years in prison, stripped of his own right to vote, and still ran for president (getting 3.4% of the popular vote while in his jail cell). In the court room when asked to recant he said
"Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free."
While in prison he started the Prison Reform movement, and President Harding pardoned him partly hoping to quash that. He was nominated for the Nobel peace prize for his astute portrayl of World War I as the Capitalist war.
Nearly every use of the Sedition act has been against political prisoners and frequently for union busting.
It's possible but they don't have the leverage to monetize the info to the extent google does. MS at one point was actually advertising that they don't sell out your privacy the way google does. Apple to claims this too. Since apple doesn't have it's own search engine (like Bing) I'm inclined to believe apple.
It's entirely plausible the battery or other parts had been replaced at some point. It would be completely unfair to blame apple for a fire in a non-apple battery or a non-apple charger. I wish they would give this information as it is very pertinent on how to interpret this.
chrome spys on you for google's profit. use it at your peril as google no longer believes in "don't do evil", the shareholders put a stop to that.
On top of that chrome is obnoxious in that it tends to be running processes even when you are not using. Try it on a raspberry pi 3 and you will see 14% of your precision 1GB are 3 Chromium background apps even when Chrome is not running. They use non-negligble CPU, so there not doing nothing.
I just contacted TP-Link the maker of Archer routers. They claim that they use Linux but they do not use SAMBA. I'm skeptical. Is there something other than SAMBA for doing SMB communications on Linux?
I have an Archer router which mounts a USB disk and servers it by SMB connection. I'm not skillful enough to know how to look at the router's intimate details. But I would like to know if it's suceptible to this bug. Is there a way one can test this from outside the device?
It's a rabbit hole. Sure you and some other's moonlight and fine. But for other's it's a job without benefits. Interestingly this is how employment used to be in the early 1900s and was exactly how unions came into being. Train workers were gig workers. They worked when called, and the rest of the time flopped in the company owned hotels along the line, drinking up their paychecks at the company saloon. They might not find connecting work that returned them home to families for weeks at a time. Safety declined both because workers were dissolute but also because of high turnover and the cadre of people willing to accept the conditions of wages wasn't the best. The Unions entered not so much for good wages but to create reliable work, assurances of return home, closing of saloons, and safe working conditions. Train owners resisted but were eventually persuaded by improved on-time and fewer accidents. As the unions grew they gained the power to strike across the industry and fought for wages and job security that assured the job was somethign one could do for a career not just in one's youth with no responisbilities. It made the job livable.
So yes moonlighting is a time honored way for industrious people to get ahead. But when a whole industry is based on it, it is not healthy for the nation.
For me the very best everyday browser on my iphone was coast. so it's too bad. they did do mre than skin it by the way. They also compressed websites for faster transmission.
Algal ponds also need a cheap source of CO2 to sparge. I don't know what fraction of it is taken up and what is lost but given the algae are hungy for it perhaps it is a lot.

WHy not use MongoDB? MongoDB is a webscale database that scales.

It means that anything Uber developed based on the technology is now nullified. Google wins. Uber is just trying to not lose any more
I wonder why Google didn't fire Eric Schmitt when he stole the iphone as an apple board member

says no. Gosling is the hood ornament. They still need lots of young squirrels run in their cage to make the car go.
it's an smb connection for sure. They are claiming they don't use SAMBA for that. I doubt them.

you usually don't. But once this thing gets trojaned onto one computer on an intranet, it worms the whole thing.

How can I test my NAS? I have no way to look at it's internals. But maybe there is an external way to do this (e.g. run the worm?)
