The good news is that in order to exploit the new vulnerability, the attacker first has to obtain kernel level access to the system somehow - by exploiting some other vulnerabilities perhaps.

The bad news is once Sinkclose attack is performed, it can be hard to detect and mitigate: it can even survive an OS reinstall.

Are you confusing security and privacy?

What are some alternatives where I can get targeted ads?

Still waiting on the list of those swinging/swiping changes that the other DEs are making

I’ll bite: big swiping changes like what?

Unless you’ve used something secure for formatting or wrote data to the SD after, consider attempting data recovery.

I keep seeing this comment and I think people are confused about private companies.

Private company is one that’s not publicly listed (traded on an exchange). Private companies still have shareholders, they may still have board of directors with shareholders representatives sitting in them. And these shareholders can still demand returns on their investment. There’s a whole industry around this called private equity.

Now it doesn’t look like Gabe Newell ever took Private Equity funding and according to the internet he owns 50% of the Valve shares but that still means that a large pile of shares is owned by other people who get some say in the company’s direction.

So saying that Valve makes this or that decision because they are private is wrong. Most companies are private and you don’t see them being all charitable and investing in open source.

You could argue that Valve is allowed to make certain decisions more freely because he’s a co-founder who still owns the majority stake though. And the company being private means that unless he sells his shares he gets to retain that control.

Not sure why you get downvoted so heavily, I have also found that adding a custom search engine is unnecessary hard in Firefox these days.

There is a way to get the “add” button back in the settings described here: https://superuser.com/a/1756774

AirPods Pro gen 2 are problematic with Steam deck: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/1/3370405530896320680/?tscn=1689301955

Dozens of people reports issues, most commenters are able to pair but experience various stability issues on top of the headphones not connecting automatically.

With no visible response from Valve, the hope is that kernel and relevant Bluetooth and pipewire packages upgraded in the upcoming SteamOS 3.6 contain some fixes.

AirPods Pro gen 1 are not affected.

The blog post title is a bit more fluffy than that, but the gist is that Google Cloud Platform's main offering for managed Postgres instances now supports pgvector out of the box
