Re:TCP Use-After-Free: CVE-2026-98432 / CVSS 9.8 on Saturday October 31, 2026 @04:34PM (#50319905)
Going by the proxmox forum the fix is already in the sources (proxmox released their kernel based on them a few days ago). But I could not see, if it is already released for the users.

Artcraft seems to be part of their suite. The Photoshop clone is this one https://github.com/storytold/photocraft for example.
The 99% is with regards to cached inputs. It seems to now at the same price as deepseek v4-pro

As a now almost 15 year long user (crazy to think about) of 1password I am unsure what attacks do you mean? Did passwords get lost and it was not disclosed or what did you mean by the lack of transparency?

Great idea! I'd like to make a german version, since the two digit numbers are sorted differently. E.g. 34 is sorted vier(4)_und_dreißig(30).

Judging by the Openrouter-Rankings it is No. 1 or 2 in token usage, depending on the view (daily, weekly, monthly).
Re:Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor on Friday January 16, 2026 @02:25PM (#46650903)
Yes, I will never buy 16:9 again. On laptops 16:10 is already quite often and sometimes even 3:2 (Framework, Surfacebook).

For my desktop I am looking forward to getting a 3:2 monitor like the Benq RD280U

https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/programming/rd280u.html

We used the 1GbE version in an outdoor setting to easily connect multiple sensors in a port within a research project. Good reliability and being able to extend and "split" the ethernet connection without additional power supplies was very convenient.

We did not integrate them into a UniFi ecosystem, just used the PoE and dumb-switch functionality.

Thank you for this suggestion!

For Laptops 16:10 (and with the framework and surface even 15:10/3:2) is already quite common, while in the desktop market 16:9 and these ultrawides are dominant.

With 16:9 the whitespace on websites even with Tabs on the side is simply to high ;)

Okay, that article is a little bit shallow. I just summarises the headlines of the last weeks of circular deals. But is there also a more in depth article that sheds a little more light onto what this actually means? From a financial perspective?
I could not compare it completely, but it sounds very much like this talk that I saw many years ago at the CCC.

SS7: Locate. Track. Manipulate. [2014] https://media.ccc.de/v/31c3_-_6249_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201412271...

You can do this with many terminal emulators on linux too. I did it with konsole and tilix, just change the copy and paste shortcut and you get this "natural copy" behavior.
And I am running a 4060 Ti 16Gb perfectly on my Fedora setup with wayland and KDE.

Yes, I can pick it up today in my Apple Store it says on the website.
Re:Mistral releases Pixtral 12B, its first multimodal model on Wednesday September 11, 2024 @06:50PM (#41515963)
Could this be used for a selfhosted handwritten text recognition instance?

Like writing on an ePaper tablet, exporting the PDF and feed this into this model to extract todos from notes for example.

Or what would be the SotA for this application?

Re:Show HN: OBS Live-streaming with 120ms latency on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @10:35AM (#41446312)
How does it work with H265? My last info was, that WebRTC only supports H264 and VP8. It would be great to stream H265 via WebRTC.
That is not remotely what was meant..

Yes, the paper linked to by firebirdn99 is much more recent and shares an author.
> However, iOS has a different situation. Due to Apple's App Store and sandboxing policies, other browser apps are forced to use Safari's JavaScript engine. That is, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on iOS are simply wrappers on top of Safari that provide auxiliary features such as synchronizing bookmarks and settings. Consequently, nearly every browser application listed on the App Store is vulnerable to iLeakage.

This should be a reason to lift this policy and allow different engines on these devices!

A video from Mark Rober about Zipline, to get an idea. I was very impressed when I first heard of them.

Well..

Is a year really "arbitrarily chosen"? After all it's defined by our solar system. And for the start date of Jan 01, I would go out and claim, that years are most of the time compared starting Jan 01. It would be much more random to start this record on Feb 20.

Yes one may debate if 110 as the cutof to count days in is "the best choice", but well, it's in the US and we humans like nice numbers ;)

But all these values are not excluding like your example.

Re:LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN on Thursday August 24, 2023 @04:00PM (#37253819)
So this is like Taildrop but uses the local net instead of the tailnet?
But this is different from the 500Wh/kg Battery that was announced around 3 month ago right [0]?

Has something happened in this regard?

True, I did not interact with the page yet (did not scroll, klick or else and uBlock origin activated) and have as of this point 6 back entries in my Firefox-Tab for the page.
