Spiffy! I miss that feature coming from my work laptop, and can’t wait for it to ship.

Plus, the US government uses it for their own sensitive stuff, so one would hope they have the wisdom not to shit where they eat, installing a back door that 100% would get used against them.

Good luck on this one.

One could hope for a hardware kill-switch on WiFi, but those are increasingly rare. I don’t necessarily trust toggling the WiFi slider off actually stops the scanning.

At home I have my PC behind a DMVPN router (being a former network engineer has its perks) and that DMVPN router’s “external” link is further segmented on my home network.

I’m hearing similar complaints from our IT leadership as well regarding Linux PCs. However, Linux is accepted in R&D labs and the cloud because those are network-segmented spaces with additional perimeter controls.

If true zero-trust ever comes to my company, perhaps they’ll be a bit more receptive.

I have repos for things I’ve cloned from codeberg or other repositories.

There’s also Nextcloud for files I’ve synced from there.

At one point Microsoft had mentioned deprecating Notepad. I guess they decided to save it when they realized they had another vehicle for their Gen * A * I slop.

Everywhere except where it belongs, up their a**.

Someone confused MAU (Monthly Average Users) with Mau (the Egyptian Mau cat). :)

I don’t have that variable set on my environment, but perhaps it’s due to my running PCSX2 as an AppImage?

Exactly. I control when and how the money goes out. This way I don’t have to hope that a) the payee doesn’t make mistakes and take out more than once or more than the scheduled amount and b) that the payee isn’t caught in a data breach with my banking details.

At the end of the day, I just take a little time to make sure all the bills are scheduled for the right amounts over the coming few weeks.

I think I’ll just stick with my 2016 Civic and the infotainment system that just occasionally freaks out, but at least it doesn’t show me ads.

“Our financial circumstances (our shareholders want more money) require…”

I saw this, too, and I don’t even have a child.
