Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Did I experience a firmware attack? What do I do?English
1·12 days agoWould 2 keyboards fail in the exact same way, with all caps and shift held down, but one is persistent after reboots and one isn’t? It doesn’t make sense.
Is this a typical pattern for keyboard controller failure that could be seen in this same way on two laptops at the same time?
I mean, I think it’s much more likely that some hardware failed, than that someone executed a highly sophisticated attack that worked but ended up showing obvious signs of tampering.

13·12 days agoSo the chain of exploits would have to be arbitrary code execution in VLC from playing a malicious FLAC file, chained into a privilege escalation to be able to mess with hardware and finally an attack against the firmware. This chain of exploits seem extremely unlikely. Bundled in some random torrent no less.
Honestly a double hardware failure is probably more likely.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is everybody just struggling financially right now?English
8·14 days agoNo, and as far as I know all my friends in real life and family is doing fine as well.
Yet my feeds are full of memes about barely surviving. I’m guessing that this is mostly due to feeds ending up very US centric, and the situation there is probably a lot worse than Sweden.
bet it’s the same cum they put on their cinnamon buns

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server.English
4·1 month agoNo mouse problem, but I’ve had to take measures to prevent cat-related downtime. Cats and power-button at the top is not a good combination.

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk Is Charging Starlink Customers Gigantic Bogus Fees Because Its Network Is Being Crushed by “High Demand”English
5·2 months agoThat would be a reasonable expectation, but I want to remember this being talked about as a revolution for internet in the US; how much better it would be compared to shitty cable providers and how you would get Gigabit speeds without having to run fibre.
Sure, it looked impressive early on, but a wireless system like this will always degrade the more customers they get.

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk Is Charging Starlink Customers Gigantic Bogus Fees Because Its Network Is Being Crushed by “High Demand”English
361·2 months agoTo be fair, the network being crushed by high demand is extremely unsurprising. Cellular networks have always had this problem in dense areas, where it’s no way you’re reaching the advertised speed. This is mainly due to the available channels being shared by everyone in a relatively large area, connected to the same cell. Which is mitigated somewhat by setting up more cells with shorter range for a higher cell density in cities.
How could a satellite based network ever scale? Where you have what, a handful available cells to cover an entire state?

4·2 months agoThat doesn’t make much sense, how is a completely different infrastructure going to help their capacity issues? Unless the plan is to pivot from satellite to 5G or something
Because for the vast majority of people yet another password, or even yet another 2FA code is an anti-feature.

Technology@lemmy.world•Burning Gas Pollutes So Much, Dirty EV Battery Manufacturing Evens Out In About 2 YearsEnglish
31·3 months agoThat is very anecdotal, and unlikely to apply to anyone else. If you charge 30-90% in an hour, that means that you must have found a cheap super charger? Not even just the regular 22kW fast chargers? Where I live all the super chargers is quite expensive, like 1.5x the price of gas /km. Which is fine as you would mainly use them fore rare long trips. Meanwhile charging at home is like 1/4th the cost of gas /km, and regular public 22kW chargers about the same as gas.
Having to regularly wait 30 minutes somewhere to charge can definitely be a real inconvenience, but I buy that it’s nice to just sit and relax for a bit though.
Also, isn’t regular super charging very bad for the battery health in the long run?

492·3 months agoHold up, since when did consumer Ryzen CPUs have memory encryption support? I was sure that was always a EPYC exclusive feature.

I usually don’t complain about re-posts, but did you really just repost this to the same community you posted it like 2 hours ago?

Shit, it very well might be. The shelves in the background look weirdly different (why would the two pictures not be taken at the same spot)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•[Spoilers welcome] How many seasons in a Game of Thrones rewatch?English
3·4 months agoHonestly, all the way up to S08E02, then just pretend that everyone died in the battle of winterfell.
It did drop off a bit after S04, but it was still a good series after that.
Isn’t there a Not interested option in the context menus for all videos? Have you tried that since it seems to be the intended way to tune recommendations? As opposed tontrying to manipulate the view history.



Still hard to see what is actually sent since it’s all over encrypted channels. To some extent you can look at the amount of data that is being sent and infer from that what might be actually transmitted. Say if the amount of data seems to match what is expected of uploading voice recordings.
