I've been able to trigger a segfault in zsh with certain plugins, a directory with a lot of files/folders, and globs with a bunch of * characters.

It was obvious Apple was going to bend the knee with that gold plaque.

They mention it's compiled to WASM.

If I had to describe it, Notion is if somehow managed to combine OneNote and Excel. Of interest is the fact that the "database" system stores each row as a page with the column values other than title stored in a special way. Of course, this also means that it doesn't scale at all, but I have seen some crazy use cases (an example is replacing Jira).

You probably want to check before you clear cache

NPM is owned by GitHub and therefore Microsoft, who is too busy putting in Copilot into apps that have 0 reason to have any form of generative AI in them

But Github does loads of things with security, including reporting compromised NPM packages. I didn't know NPM is owned by Microsoft these days though, now that I think about it, Microsoft of all parties should be right on top of this supply chain attack vector - they've been burned hard by security issues for decades, especially in the mid to late 90's, early 2000s as hundreds of millions of devices were connected to the internet, but their OS wasn't ready for it yet.

It's not like NPM pre-Microsoft was a paragon of professional management or engineering...

For those who have forgotten, Microsoft buying npm was basically a community service given npm inc was on the brink of collapsing

The difference is in the apparent available resources. You cant get to "professional" without the time and money, and NPM post acquisition, presumably, has more of both. Granted, NPM probably doesn't have a revenue model to speak of, which means Microsoft is probably not paying it much attention.

Good god. Not everything has to be about your opinion on AI.

GitHub was folded into Microsoft's "CoreAI" team. Not very confidence-inspiring.

Actually, they could probably use AI to see if each update to a package looks malicious or obfuscated.

Just write a check.md instruction for copilot to check it for malicious acticity, problem solved

Is it really owned and run by Microsoft? I thought they only provide infrastructure, servers and funding.

I believe that for X-ray mode, the radiation was indirect, so it needed a lot more power. Furthermore, older revisions had hardware locks, and the intent of the Therac-25 was to make it cheaper.

Does Broadcom do anything but get hate for their shitty decisions? They are becoming, if they aren't already, the new Oracle.

Lol get out of the echo chamber

Edit: to make this helpful, look at Broadcomm interconnect, switching technology, copackaged optics

This is because blurays ship their subtitles as a bunch of text images. So pirates have 3 options:

1. Just copy them over from the Bluray. This lacks support in most client players, so you'll either need to download a player that does, or use something like Plex/Jellyfin, which will run FFMpeg to transcode and burn the picture subtitles in before sending it to the client.

2. Run OCR on the Bluray subtitles. Not perfect.

3. Steal subtitles from a streaming service release (or multiple) if it exists.

FFMpeg is probably not as up high since video processing only needs to be done on the servers that receive media. I doubt most phones are running FFMpeg on video.

Chrome and Firefox use FFmpeg libraries to decode media, so it's in more places than you might think! (But also, ChatGPT said it's not used in Android browser apps because they would use Android's "native" media stack).

Well I would imagine portions of it are on every mobile device, and also Netflix and alike surely use it to encode video.
