Well, since when Silicon Valley cared about environment or Global warming? It's all about $ always.

Known issues and limitations

Currently, Intel x86_64 is the only supported host platform.
    AMD will most likely work too but is considered experimental at the moment.
Linux is required as a host operating system for building and running VirtualBox KVM.
Starting with Intel Tiger Lake (11th Gen Core processors) or newer, split lock detection must be turned off in the host system. This can be achieved using the Linux kernel command line parameter split_lock_detect=off or using the split_lock_mitigate sysctl.

In most cases, work laptops have software(s) installed to automatically keep track of these activities, and flag it to security team of your organization. At that point, it will either lead to a formal warning to you, or termination/forced resignation.

From organization point of view, this is to avoid any accidental (or intentional) leak of confidential data, and/or accidentally (or intentionally) infecting your (work) system with malware/ransomware.

The latter had happened in one of my previous organizations, and the person responsible was terminated from job immediately.

True, but till the transition completes (if it ever), these privacy frontends are quite handy tool to view content of those services.

I heavily use LibReddit to follow certain Subreddits, although I now mostly frequent Lemmy.

Same as that happened to Bibliogram earlier – a cat-n-mouse game between Dev and API owner.

Are the latest generation (11th onwards) of Intel CPUs still affected by any of these two vulnerabilities?

Not just MS Team, but the whole MS ecosystem.

I actually own a steam deck and I never had any major issues with it, so my only conclusion is that this time it’s the fault of either linux mint

Isn't Steam Deck use AMD and not NVIDIA? Btw, playing CS:GO2 on Nvidia 3070 Ti on Linux desktop using driver version 545 doesn't give me a major issue so far.

The post is about Nextcloud self-hosted file storage as an open source replacement for One Drive which is deeply integrated with MS Teams. For those, who can't replace MS Teams with FOSS equivalent for whatever reason, can at least stop relying on One Drive for file storage solution.

And, for your information, Nextcloud does offer 1:1 and group chat solution[1], which is an open source replacement for MS Teams.

You are essentially sharing a file link via MS Teams.

Instead of keeping the actual file on OneDrive, it is hosted on your own (Nextcloud) server. Sorry but how it leads to privacy issue?

Nextcloud[1] is an open source and self-hostable SaaS product.

Instead of using OneDrive and Google Drive (and similar proprietary solutions), Nextcloud is a better solution from Privacy POV, IMO.

  • Nvidia proprietary driver

  • Docker Engine (Portainer, AdGuardHome, LibReddit, Nitter, Invidious)

  • Install and tweak Firefox setup

  • Steam Client

  • Gnome extensions

  • Gnome Shell Theme and Icon themes

  • Nextcloud Client

 

Mozilla is unhappy because the use of browser engines other than WebKit will be restricted to the EU, forcing them to develop two different apps.

For an independent browser like Firefox, managing two browsers is not easy, so it can be forgiven that this could be seen as almost harassment.

Also, the fact that the use of browser engines other than WebKit is limited to iOS means that the use of WebKit is still forced on iPadOS, which also increases the effort for Mozilla.

The Linux DMA-BUF protocol for Wayland is widely used these days and supported by multiple compositors for negotiating optimal buffer allocation parameters between clients and compositors. The current fifth version of linux-dmabuf was marked as stable with it working out well and no need for any other changes before removing the "experimental" tag.

The new transient seat protocol for Wayland is for creating short-lived seats for remote users. These transient seats will be automatically removed as soon as the client disconnects. The transient seat protocol is intended for use with Wayland's virtual input and virtual pointer protocols for remote desktop use.

 

AdGuard Temp Mail’s addresses are temporary and aren’t stored long by design:

Emails are automatically deleted 24 hours after you receive them.
A temporary mailbox is deleted after 7 days of inactivity. But if you keep the page open or come back in a couple of days, it won’t disappear.

AdGuard Temp Mail is currently in beta stage. Here’s what we’re planning to add in the future:

Zero-access encryption
TLS support on the SMTP server side
Image proxying
Security checks for links
 

"The InMarket Apps have been downloaded onto over 30 million unique devices since 2017," reads the FTC complaint against InMarket Media.

"Respondent also makes the InMarket SDK available to third party app developers, and it has been incorporated into more than 300 such apps which have been downloaded onto over 390 million unique devices since 2017."

The FTC complaint says InMarket maintains 2,000 categories of distinct "audiences" which tracked people fall into, including "Christian churchgoers," "wealthy and not healthy," and "parents of preschoolers."

Ultimately, the FTC deems InMarket's five-year data retention policy overly excessive for targeted advertising, significantly elevating the risk of misuse and exposure.

 

Google collects and shares data between its own services by default. Search, advertising, YouTube and several others exchange user data. Users in the EU have to give consent to this form of sharing. By default, data will no longer be exchanged between services. EU users may already manage the Google Services that may or may not exchange data.

EU users who searching with buying intentions, e.g., for a hotel or laptop, will get a new dedicated unit in the search results that shows group of links from comparison sites "from across the web" and "query shortcuts at the top of the search page to help people refine their searches".

Users from the EU will get browser and search engine choice screens on Android and in Google Chrome.
