The DOJ is seeking to break up Google, or rather to chip off a very small part of it. (AP News)

They want to break off the Chrome browser, which has multiple competitors, including some like Brave which use the same open-source core and behave virtually identically.

What this is expected to achieve is unclear. It would break Google's direct influence over the browser, but so would people switching to Brave or Vivaldi.

They also want to prevent Google from making Google Search the default search engine in Android, which is something we've been through before with browsers and achieves basically nothing.

Experts are freaking out, because that is what experts do:
"It is probably going a little beyond," Syracuse University law professor Shubha Ghosh said of the Chrome breakup. "The remedies should match the harm, it should match the transgression. This does seem a little beyond that pale."
He should see my proposal, which involves Tasmanian devils.
A Google employee union says, isn't there someone you forgot to ask? (The Verge)

Ubuntu Linux has a decade-old bug in the needrestart tool that lets local users gain root access. (Bleeping Computer)

This is bad, but it doesn't allow remote hackers to do anything directly. It does give them a way to completely take over your system if they are already logged in, though.

To fix it, edit the file /etc/needrestart/needrestart.conf

It will have a line containing

#$nrconf{interpscan} = 0;

Find that line, and delete the # to activate it. This has been the recommended configuration since 2022 but doesn't seem to have been adopted.

Or just apt upgrade needrestart
Microsoft didn't think people would actually want to play Flight Simulator 2024. (Tom's Hardware)

The servers that deliver the data stream have been overloaded and crashed entirely at least once. Since you can't simply download the game once and play it, that makes it more or less unplayable:
Our editors at Tom's Hardware attempted to install the game yesterday - two of our editors managed to hit around 70% before the installation failed, and one editor managed to install the game but could only access the main menu. So, unfortunately, we'll have to postpone our review of MSFS 2024 until Microsoft's game services are actually working.
Nice work, Microsoft.

The OneXGPU 2 is an external GPU for laptops and mini-PCs with Thunderbolt, USB4, or OCuLink. (Hot Hardware)

It contains a Radeon 7800M laptop CPU, which is the 7800 XT desktop chip cut down to 12GB of RAM and a 192-bit memory bus (and also cut down from 265W to 180W).

It also serves as a docking hub, with two USB ports, Ethernet, a micro-SD slot, and an M.2 slot in addition to the upstream USB4 and OCuLink ports and the three video outputs.

And... Basically, it works.
Reddit is back online. (Tech Crunch)

And my boss left his office yesterday after our meeting and didn't come back until just before I was ready to leave, so I didn't sit down with him about my retirement plans. He'll be in today.

25 Good morning.

We’re getting a fair amount of rain here in the north sacramento valley, but it’s not the apocalyptic bomb cyclone as prophesied. 3.2inches in 15hrs, so it’s definitely a soaker. So far the wind isn’t really a thing.

I was on the front porch last night at about 8pm and saw what appeared to be a transformer failure two poles down from my abode - a moderately bright sphere of amber light followed by a popping sound - happened three more time in rapid succession. PG&E crew rolled up 30 minutes later, and 20 minutes after that power was restored.

26 My boss told us, too, that we can unofficially take Wednesday next week off as well as the Thurs. & Friday holidays for T'giving. It'll be a good time to see if I can get Stirling to the vet for his annual rabies shot. No doubt Dagny will need hers too.

Both felines are doing well: Stirling is curled up on a paper bag from Whole Foods on the floor, and Dagny is thinking Deep Cat Thoughts atop the kitchen counter. I used to insist cats not get on the counter at any time, but I gave up long ago. Easier to clean the counter than chase the cat.

Acid reflux?

Posted by: Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey, at November 21, 2024 04:33 AM (CpG2S)

29 I have a refurbished Dell laptop that I bought on Amazon. Its ok but has 'oh, that's why its 'refurbished'. The keyboard has some keys that don't work. I've been using a spare keyboard. The other problem is, at times, it just stops responding to commands. The mouse will move around the display but clicking does nothing, the keyboard is ignored. The only way to turn it off is to just hit the power button. I'm wondering of the laptop keyboard and the usb keyboard are conflicting. I don't think it's Linux Mint. I think it's a hardware issue. Not a major thing, I still have this laptop which Microsoft is going to stop updating next year (Win10). I hate Microsoft.

A while ago, it was announced that all Jaguar cars would be EVs by 2025, so I suspect this commercial is somehow related to an upcoming "reveal" of a line of new EVs or something.

Personally, I think the angry ghost of Lucas Industries is helping Jaguar "turn off the lights".

But I stick to the P-2 platform for reliability and robustness.

She was sentenced back in 2015 because she didn't believe in the Holocaust which is illegal in Germany.

They gave her a choice, either renounce her beliefs & go free or face continued prison sentences, she chose the later.

As a result Ursula Haverbeck died in prison holding onto her beliefs until the very end.

She was a true German

Caught the first couple minutes of a video from, apparently, a British atheist who wanted to let us know that education in the US is doomed because people who oppose abortion voted overwhelmingly for Trump which means universities will be replaced with religious indoctrination camps.

When Islamists take over the UK completely, this person either will die screaming, "What for?" or become the most deranged of imams. My bet's on the latter.

149 141 I kind of sort of have respect for Ellen. She did what she said.

Nobody likes her so it's hard to tell.

If nobody in Hollywood likes you you should probably leave.

But then again the people who Hollywood hates are in my "like" zone.

She sucks but what to think?

153 Morning peeps. We get our first taste of "winter weather" this season with snow flurries, gusty winds and generally lousy conditions through Saturday.

Oh, and about those celebrities who claim to be leaving the US... have any of them actually sold their properties here? Most have multiple homes/houses so I expect most of the piss-ants are simply virtue signaling to their followers and each other about their 'feelings.'

They believe that the locations of their data centers are not known and probably think that cooling towers would give them away.

I don't think the idea is to give Kammie the popular vote. The gap is too big. I think the idea is to get Trump under 50% of the national vote. Then they can squawk, "No mandate!"

Trump could have 99.9% of the vote and they'd still claim no mandate since it wasn't unanimous.

About 95% of progs have no problems with your death from illegals as long as the illegal is not harmed.
