Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.

About a month ago NPM was compormised. It was advised to lock versions to before the compromise.

However, one eventually needs to unlock and start getting updates again. Does anybody know if the coast is clear, or possibly a place that is tracking known compromised packages and their current status?

Why the hell would we need AI summaries of a wikipedia article? The top of the article is explicitly the summary of the rest of the article.

It certainly doesn't help Intel has been intentionally selling defective product in the 13th and 14th gen lines. People are quite reasonably going to AMD more and more.

Human summarization of the above story:

LLMs do not understand the text, so they cannot pick out the important sentences. Because of this, they are unable to summarize the text; instead they shorten the text. Unless the text is very rambly, important meaning will be lost when shortening.

Also the LLMs lie.

Selling shovels during a gold rush is the best way to get rich. :)

Please don't. Just keep providing security updates for an extended time and don't make Win 10 worse with these 'features' that are keeping people away from Win 11.

Really happy to see replaceable batteries! It's a wear item and guaranteed to brick your device after a number of years if they aren't replaceable.

The Microsoft devs have time to do shit like this, but haven't yet gotten the Settings screen as functional as Control Panel was two decades ago...

Replacing physical controls with touch buttons continues to be an incredibly dumb idea. Luckily several other manufactures who hopped on the trend are realizing it was a bad choice.

the PLC code actually contained logic that would lock up the train with bogus error codes after some date

I hope they sue the manufacturer.

The difficult part of software development has always been the continuing support. Did the chatbot setup a versioning system, a build system, a backup system, a ticketing system, unit tests, and help docs for users. Did it get a conflicting request from two different customers and intelligently resolve them? Was it given a vague problem description that it then had to get on a call with the customer to figure out and hunt down what the customer actually wanted before devising/implementing a solution?

This is the expensive part of software development. Hiring an outsourced, low-tier programmer for almost nothing has always been possible, the low-tier programmer being slightly cheaper doesn't change the game in any meaningful way.

Jesus fuck Linus. Half the reason you are popular is because people trust your statements; and you are just flushing that away.
