Wait, were Crowdstrike seriously suggesting giving their staff physical access to Delta systems at airports across the world having just nuked those same systems through incompetence or negligence... what....


Have been waiting on Norman Chans review over at Tested, he's been a consistent and reliable reviewer of VR/AR for years now. That plus Adam Savage++


I'm due an upgrade to my gaming rig core soon, currently running an old 3950X with a 4090.

AMDs crippling of new game releases by paying to have DLSSv3 support omitted (most recently Jedi Survivor, and looking like Starfield) has completely soured me on the company. I don't feel inclined to support that behaviour financially with my next rig.

I have a 3900x and I'll probably just hold onto it forever. New CPUs are faster but are 25%+ more expensive core for core on top of motherboards being 2-3x more expensive than their pre-COVID pricing for less features (specifically I need a second CPU linked pcie slot for a network card, and no affordable AM5 motherboards seem to do 8x/8x lane splits like you could get with trivially affordable AM4 boards).

This isn't a new trend sadly. It's insanely annoying to boot a game and see only AMD's subpar stuff baked in whereas when you boot a vendor agnostic or nvidia sponsored game you usually get nvidia's stuff alongside amd's. They did it with the RE4 remake recently too, very annoying to be stuck with FSR when the game advertised DLSS 3 support and had it in the pre-release demo.


Not sure I particularly trust Redhat after what they did to CentOS.


Ok, I'll bite... What did RedHat do to CentOS?


I think this is in reference to RedHat prematurely ending support for CentOS 8 and basically abandoning its former model of being a slow-moving, stable RHEL clone[0]

Make My Day on Netflix now makes a lot more sense.


Bleeping Computer has the story as well - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-windows-s...


Worth it if only for the go.mod tidy-up, how that made it into a release in the first place baffles me.


Is rsync.net related to rsync the project?


No, there is no relationship.

However, in 2005 or 2006 when we spun out of JohnCompanies[1] and incorporated under the name "rsync.net" I requested, and was given, explicit permission to use the name and domain by the maintainers of rsync.


Bit risky with a company org if they decide it violates TOS does that just impact the offending repo, or the entire org?


Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.


Not the case with things like Google accounts. Probably not worth the risk for GitHub accounts either.


There are a lot of things where that adage doesn't work.

Risking losing an important account due to TOS violations is one.

Also, you don't see a lot of people in jail saying that.


The people not in jail are the ones who asked for forgiveness.


Unless you dick around in someone elses org and get them booted.


The part that looks most interesting to me, the API uptime integration doesn't appear to have any instructions on how to reproduce the example shown in the README - all that seems to be provided is the ability to add a link in a custom tab. The example image looks aspirational rather than something currently supported (probably worth making that clear).

If the ability to monitor uptime/health, or at least integrate with services that provide thatinformation, which is rendered on the status page would make this really cool.
