Stealing everything you’ve ever typed or viewed on your own Windows PC is now possible with two lines of code — inside the Copilot+ Recall disaster.
  • Based on what Microsoft themselves said we know: everything will be stored (except edge private session...). They specifically say they don't do content moderation: they log everything.

    Did you read the article?

    Q. Cool, so hackers and malware can’t access it, right?

    A. No, they can.

    Q. But it’s encrypted.

    A. When you’re logged into a PC and run software, things are decrypted for you. Encryption at rest only helps if somebody comes to your house and physically steals your laptop — that isn’t what criminal hackers do.

    As a windows user I'm not delighted by this.

    Edit: at this point you must be trolling...

    This system basically do a character recognition on EVERYTHING the user is displaying and save the results in a very small file not that well protected.

    The data is very small (I guess because it's basically text?), seems easy to find. That means the history of all you did on your computer (apparently only for the last three feays by default,but well...) can be stolen at once, in a minuscule file.

    I'm not an IT specialist, but I don't see in which world this can remotely be a good idea...

  • Forrest says hydrogen subsidy makes green iron commercially viable in Australia
  • Hmmm I heard of studies/prototyping/research to completely overhaul steel production in order to reduce the (gigantic) carbon footprint. It might be linked?

    Not just heating it differently, really change the process.. Searching for source, will update.

    Edit: not exactly what I was looking for but I found this: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-industry/us-pledges-up-to-1b-for-two-pioneering-green-steel-projects

    Using hydrogen instead of coal, not for heating but for the reaction actually creating iron. I remeber reading about rotating furnace, like the one used to create cement.

  • [Skill Up] Homeworld 3 - Review
  • I meant, it just makes things more complicated than "classic" RTS, making the pause even more helpful (giving precise order can be complicated, but I've only tried one control type out of two-ish)

  • [Skill Up] Homeworld 3 - Review
  • Honestly during the campaign it's really helpful.

    Compared to the two previous games, this one require more micro management (or at least benefit from it).

    And "other RTS games [requires micro management] as well, without pause": indeed, but playing in full 3D/volume complicate things.

    Edit: trying to rephrase for clarity

  • With the recent helldivers 2 fiasco do you think Sony will still be able to fix destiny 2?
  • I’d also argue that Bungie has been making mostly good decisions and adding good features to the game since at least Witch Queen. Hell, they just undid sunsetting which I thought would never happen.

    Well Lightfall was shitty, so no everything isn't good since witch queen.

    Oh I missed the un-sunseting, I need to look into it.

    I'm pretty pissed off at Sony. I spent years in D2, left when Lightfall landed (game was becoming a chore, filled to the brim with FOMO) and it turned out to be a rushed DLC/content filler added between Witch Queen and... The last DLC I forgot the name of (with part of the witch queen cut-pasted into Lightfall, abominable story/writing, etc...)

    I just started playing and enjoying HD2 and this now...

    Edit: oh yes and I forgot all the content removed and probably a billion other things...

    Shame because the gameplay was fun and the artist were always quite talented and it showed.

  • Account linking between steam and PlayStation is now mandatory
  • Was the account linking mentionned anywhere on steam?

    It's really feels like a new condition sneaked in... Edit: apparently it was clearly stated on steam and on the first launch of the game. I really have bad skipping habits...

    The "it's to protect players against hakerzzzzz" doesn't feel very legit.

  • HOTFIX #24 NOW LIVE!
  • If like me you wanted the patch notes, without clicking:

    FIXES

    • Fixed a crash that could occur after the cinematic that plays when transitioning from Act II to Act III.

    • Fixed an issue preventing you from taking a Short Rest when having added and dismissed Us with a companion party member and then loaded certain savegames.

    • Fixed Us appearing at camp and near other waypoints when that didn't make sense.

    • Fixed an issue introduced in Hotfix 21 causing reduced performance on Mac.

  • The FIRST Gaming Keyboard... in the world - f4mi
  • Same here!

    I had to get rid of the 2nd edition one year ago because of a contact/short issue. :(

    So useful to know who was speaking in mumble/teamspeak when I had only one screen...

    And the shortcut keys were useful at the time (I don't have much use for them now).

    Edit: I've seen the video and yes, I forgot how CLEAR the software was. It was extremely easy to set, set the shortcuts to work as you wanted.

    The current new logitec soft/driver is an utter shit, buggy, extremely confusing (I gave up on trying to setup the backlight how I want it because how stupidly confusing the UI is) and crashing all the time.

  • despite all my rage IT keeps me trapped like a rat in a cage.
  • I was going to say: the office environment doesn't suck that much, or rather it's not aimed at people with advanced programing knowledge. Rather everyone else (which is probably the majority in the professional world).

    For people who have no or little IT knowledge it's actually very handy.

    I've learned a little bit of programming during my studies (mostly R) and I'm now working in a big company.

    Power automate is so useful and nearly ALL parts of the office ecosystem is accessible to it. And it's possible to use it with very little coding knowledge.

    It's now my main tool of work (with excel).

  • Choice of Compact Android Smartphone - 2024 edition

    Hello all,

    My Galaxy S8 is starting to feel its age. After now close to 7 years of service, it's starting to show its limits. The usual problems: Battery getting weaker and weaker, generally slow (My once/month visit of instagram for example is... a stutter) and, mot simportantly, no more security update.

    I'm tempted to switch it to GrapheneOS and continue but I'm really afraid some "official" apps won't work anymore (mostly banking apps).

    In October last year I started my quest for a new Android phone with the S8 form factor, or as close as possible for pocket-fit.

    I've checked the various guide on this community and came ouf with the same question I had while doing research on my side.

    Contenders were:

    • Fairphone 5, which philosophy was extremely tempting, especially the "fair" aspect and the self-repairing capabilities. However, its form factor and what I heard about extremely slow patch/updates were the last nail in its coffin-size (161.6 x 75.83 x 9.6 mm).
    • Cosmic Dolphin (Link) was also extremely tempting (secure OS, mechanical switch for GPS/Camera/Mice...) but a new company means possible bancrupcy and no more security update, plus the form factor (159.7 x 73.3 x 7.8 mm) meant it was also a no.
    • Xperias 5V and other in the lineup seemed interesting, especially the SD card slot. But no info regarding software updates and way to expensive.

    Only two made the cut and I have to choose between:

    None have a SD card, jack socket or removable battery but it seems these features are becoming more and more of a rarity.

    Both have a at least 4 years of updates still.

    Galaxy S23

    Positives:

    • 146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm
    • Updates for at least 3 years
    • 128 / 256 Gb Storage
    • Cheaper now that the S24 should arrive soon.

    Negatives:

    • Proc is a bit less efficient (meaning less time for the same battery size)... Based on comments it may be the opposite, with the S23 being more efficient.

    Pixel 8

    Positives:

    • 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm
    • 7 year of updates
    • 128 / 256 Gb Storage
    • I heard their Proc were more efficient than S23's Based on comments it may be the opposite, with the S23 being more efficient.
    • Compatible with GrapheneOS (if test on my old S8 shows the important app I have still work there).

    Negatives:

    • Google... Data leach amon leeches.
    • This insuferable camera bar on the back... Not really handy and will probably ruin a lot of pant's pocket.

    I'm split between these two.

    • Would you have any advices regarding one or the other?
    • Points I haven't mentionned here?
