They specifically say the high vulnerability one affects the command line tool, not just the library. High implies privilege escalation… I’m wondering how at this point because it’s not setuid and there’s really no reason opening a TCP socket could cause it (and if it does, that’s a kernel error not curl).

So don’t announce anything… keep it quiet until the fixes are ready.

Now potential hackers know there’s a flaw there and will be looking for it, and they have clear space to do so before anyone can fix it.

I answered the ‘why do you want this job’ question with ‘I’m unemployed and need money’, rather than lying about some lifelong ambition to work for a small software company in bumfuck nowhere. Got me the job.

Of course it depends on the interviewer, but TBH I’d rather work for one that values honesty anyway.

Yup qualifications are only one of the things we look at, and it’s way down the list. which college… who cares?

Show us an active github page, boast about how you installed lemmy whilst fighting off a herd of wildebeast… top of the list.

After thinking about it that’s exactly what they’re doing.

They sold tickets at $700 each to loads of men. So loads of men turned up.

What did they expect to happen. They knew in advance how many tickets they’d sold and to who… and nobody raised any flags. A few % lying about gender (if they did, gender is complex) wouldn’t tip the scales that much.

I’d rather they didn’t announce it existed before announcing what it is… now we’ve got to sit around for a week potentially knowing the curl command could give someone root access or something.

“If you ever use containers to self-host, do you prefer manual or automatic updates?” “Yes”

Removing subsidies is a start… they’ve never made any sense. If a company can’t make money selling fuel then they must be the most incompetent company on earth.

This is just posturing for COP28 though… makes good headlines but won’t happen… lots of countries talk tough before COP so they can claim it wasn’t their fault when nothing is decided, again.

No. Mostly you run around collect business cards and then go online to apply for the jobs… that you could have done without going to the job fair in the first place.

TBH It’s a huge red flag if a recruiter wants upfront payment with no guarantee at the end of it (or even if they ‘guarantee’ one). If the recruiters are so desperate for someone they want to organise a job fair, they can bloody well pay for it themselves.

Apple laptops you can’t upgrade any of those things and they sell like hotcakes. It’s really not something most people do.

Chromebooks have their niche, beyond education they’re good as second laptops where you’re really only doing mostly browser stuff. Mine is getting on a bit now, a 2017 pixelbook… but it doesn’t go EOL until next year and I’ll probably keep it beyond that because it just works… only thing I’d like really would be a bigger screen.

Far less, since they’re quite locked down (hence their popularity in education).

I suspect it was just a reference to google spying on people.

Well to the last, yes definitely… it’ll become worthless as a skill. Once you can make an AI that speaks any line perfectly you don’t need anyone special to do it… joe shmoe off the street would be just as good a ‘voice actor’ as the current professionals. There’s obviously skill in making the AI do that seamlessly but that’s a different job.

Translation went through something similar. It used to be something you paid someone a lot of money for now you just type the sentence into your phone.

I love my chromebook, 90% of the time when I’m lazing around nothing I need uses more than a browser, although it also runs a debian variant and can run android apps, which is useful occasionally. It’s light, doesn’t get remotely hot, has no fan noise and the battery lasts ages.

My mother has one because she doesn’t need the complexity of windows breaking everything… she only needs gmail and facebook.

5000 is 3-4 notifications a minute 24/7. I’m not seeing how a phone could be usable at that point.

I had one tried that, I crossed it out before signing… it’s total BS.

Not only have they thought of that, they charge a premium for it. Of course it doesn’t work and the accompanying software is lowest bidder shit that has never been tested in the real world… but what do they care, they have your money.

Pixel 5 was peak pixel… I have a 7a now but TBH preferred the 5 just for its size and rear fingerprint reader.

On the iphone side I picked up an iphone SE 2020 for £120 (no an ios fan but it’s good to have around for development and testing).

There’s really not justification for £800 phones any more when the older ones are this good…

Well… contract lengths are getting longer, what do they expect?

Also, one phone is very much like another these days. You don’t get a lot by upgrading.

It’s pretty hefty… and there’s an official cooling solution to remove all that heat too…

They’re basically going for the low end desktop market with it I think.

I think they removed that requirement recently… I killed the upgrade prompts originally by disabling the fTPM but they’ve come back in the last month or so.
