I switched from Nvidia for amd for the same reason: "and is better on Linux".

In my experience you are just making different tradeoffs. I use pop so your mileage may vary but Nvidia was easy to use and upgrade. It's not nearly as bad as people let on.

AMD on the other hand isn't as seamless as people let on. And the open source drivers, while awesome, don't let you take advantage of the codecs for video streaming or even alot of the AI ML stuff, so you switch to the proprietary drivers and they are slightly buggy.

I wish I kept my 3070ti over the 6900xt.

Unless they figure out a way to let me use av1 or rocm more easily then my next card will be Nvidia again.

Meh, not really. The risk with making it publicly available is that a nation state or leet hacker types can comb over it and find exploits or know what libraries/etc you are using so when a zero day pops up they can target you directly. Whereas without direct access to th source code they'd have to do their own enumeration and surveillance.

There is some security through obscurity.

Also, just want to point out: being open source doesn't mean it's more or less secure. There is plenty of vulnerable open source code out their.

Control Deez nuts

Thanks for posting this but I'm not sure I understand it.

What if it was a material part of the case? In the article linked, it wasn't even "gay panic" as much as self defence that started from an unaccepted gay advance that turned into a fight.

For example, what if two people went home from a bar preparing to hook up, then one discovered the other wasn't the biological gender/sex they expected. It gets heated and they fight. The gay or trans person receives the worst of it. Police get called.

Can you not include that as a part of the defense?

Is that what they are calling gay/trans panic?

This seems weird to me because in court you should be allowed to admit facts and evidence. If one of the parties was gay or trans, and that played a role in the event, it seems wrong to not allow it as it's very relevant.

I feel like I am missing some legal nuance.

My thoughts on it are: as a developer, if you flag the issue for your management, and they want to move forward, then you've done your part.

Maybe put an extra comment in the code for posterity's sake.

It's not ultimately your problem and what else are you going to do? Work unpaid nights and weekends to fix it for some guy who might run into a problem 8 years from now?

I mean it's NPR: an American public radio news outfit.

Why the fuck would they be concerned with the minimum wage in Tanzania?

Strike that, that's actually precisely something NPR would probably cover lol.

This reminds me of the south park sting episode where the cop is just blowing dudes (dressed up like a hooker) and yelling "busted!"

This guy's is just reading whatever smut he can find then yelling "busted"

Lmfao

Dude. It's pretty fucking easy to get a gun. You walk into a store, say "I'd like that one please", they take your license and another form of id (literally could be a piece of mail), you fill out a form that says you aren't a felon like Donald Trump, on drugs like Hunter b, a non-citizen, etc, run the most cursory of cursory background checks, and they hand you the gun.

It can take like 10 minutes.

Its harder and takes much longer to get your car registered than to buy a gun.

The barriers are super low. And if you lie on the form, it's typically not something people can check/vet and is only used after the fact so people can say "but he shouldn't have gotten one,! He lied on the form!!"

Fear drives people to the polls though. It's kinda sad but true. So there needs to be a mix.

I've started to do that. If I don't see 10-20% options, I've started doing no tip--even if I would have tipped more.

It irks me.

They'd done some data analysis and I guess if you show higher percentages people just click them. So I am bringing it back to reality with my 0%.

I don't know exactly how crowd strike works, but this sounded like a "virus signatures" update (IE not a software update per se). And thats what caused the issue.

I think "real time virus protection" is why people use it so they expect the signatures to get updated asap/with little to no human intervention.

This is a crowd strike epic fail...for how they let their software blue screen systems with a virus signature update.

And roll it out in a controlled fashion: 1% of machines, 10%, 25%...no issues? Do the rest.

How this didn't get caught by testing seems impossible to me.

The implementation/rollout strategy just seems bonkers. I feel bad for all of the field support guys who have had there next few weeks ruined, the sys admins who won't sleep for 3 days, and all of the innocent businesses that got roped into it.

A couple local shops are fucked this morning. Kinda shocked they'd be running crowd strike but also these aren't big businesses. They are probably using managed service providers who are now swamped and who know when they'll get back online.

One was a bakery. They couldn't sell all the bread they made this morning.
