you could make a religion out of this!

Why have they released drawings of Stephen miller

You can do it with any language where whitespace doesn’t matter and Whitespace

I don’t know if I’m typical, but neither desktop or laptop are ever fully off for me under normal circumstances, sleep mode is the default

The 5 month wait is apparently because it’s bribe based now.

You can pay your instructor a few hundred quid and they’ll get you booked for a test within a week

The same NHS that’s desperately trying to pipe as much data as it can into palantir?

They’re concerned about national security now?

It’s not unheard of there to be English language tracks that drop in random French, Italian or Spanish words and phrases

It’s just regular cultural exposure to other languages ultimately. No rule says you need to stick to one language in a song, so some musicians throw in some stuff from other languages they’ve heard, because why not

A number of banks here used to use a system like this a couple of decades ago. You’d get a card reader-calculator thing like in the pictures and there was a similar challenge-response flow. I’ve got no idea if they are even supported any more; I’ve definitely not seen one in a long time.

I remember “I’ll transfer you back when I can get my reader at home” and similar was not uncommon to hear

Caller ID wasn’t super widespread in the UK until the 00s IIRC

I definitely remember dialling 1471 to figure out who just rang in the 00s anyway (BT equivalent of *69 in America)

Yeah, doesn’t feel like a great outcome to have this now pretty gargantuan conglomerate in music tech, but at I guess least it keeps the tools people use supported for now

The fixes were supposed to be in place by the originally planned disclosure date in a week, however someone independently released details of the exploit so they were forced to disclose early and now we’ve got this situation

Basically all running versions of Linux.

I’m not sure which distros have managed to build and release the new versions of the kernel yet (if any). Most of the big ones have posted mitigations

Yes, always keep your shit updated

But, that wouldn’t help here, this vulnerability was just dropped without fixes released in the past 12h or so

C’mon mate, don’t be a wanker

Given I think even the highest end of SSD is only just touching 15GB/s and RAM about 100GB/s I think?

I do wonder how long it will be before we actually see these transfer speeds

Makes sense I suppose

Who is buying a new motherboard if all the other components are significantly overpriced?

At least for me, I only get a new motherboard if I want a new CPU that my current doesn’t support

I have been around for 3 and a half decades and I’ve never had a duvet that’s done this in the UK

Background white noise from a fan seems to be the main thing that helps

Projection

And it’s not immigrants doing the terrorism

A lot of opticians in the UK also have audiologists

It’s been that way for as long as I can remember
