TikTok sues U.S. government, saying potential ban violates First Amendment

I will be honest, i am fully against tiktok and everything it stands for. It should burn in hell.

...However, the law the us passed to ban tiktok makes no sense whatsoever. At its core its as bad as china's grasp on a lot of markets. I believe a more correct way is to ban the practices tik tok does and ban it from federal devices. However, such a law needs more effort and would also get us-based companies in trouble.
But even then, its a way better solution to the problem

New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser

Reply in thread

In principal, the change is good for reasons you mentioned. However microsoft has :

  • bypassed any default screens in the past, allowing edge to be set default without user input.
  • has added very annoying screens when changing default applications asking the user multiple times if they are sure.
  • has added special protocols for applications and set edge as default browser to bypass default application settings in all office applications ( outlook, teams, word, ... ).

They just can not be trusted with this, they have proven this in the past...

My GF gave me one afternoon to fix this, what do i do

I have no idea why everyone here is saying to not do jack shit. Like, is the us system so different than what im used to?

Here is an information dump of what i know, and what my experiences is from 9 years of being the handyman in an elderly home. And yes, i called in experts enough times on heating issues. I know my ( local ) shit.

Would you describe the sound like a knocking, rumbling sound? If so, turn it all off, check the pressure of the heater and get a plumber. Youre pushing steam or nothing through the system and the piping doesnt like it. Scary sound if its bad tbh. Also a serious issue you need a plumber for, as the heater or preassure tank is likely fucked.

Would you describe the sound like blub blub, airbubbles popping or a waterfall? If so, there is air in the closed loop of the radiators. It happens, and its recommended to check all radiators once a year when it gets colder. Nothing bad about it, easy to fix/remedy.
You can also validate this by turning on the heating system and noticing, on top of the sound, that only part of the radiator heats up.
This is usually a problem with the highest radiator of your system, or the farthest radiator of your loop.
If it happens more than once a year -> you might have a leak somewhere ,if water pressure remains the same, get a plumber to check on the system or radiator system.

The later can easily be remedied. Go to the radiator that makes sound and try and find the following :

It is an release valve intended to let air in, or out, of the system. It is on the top side of the radiator, on the opposite side of the knob. Turn on the heating system, wait a bit for it to heat up. Then use the special key, or screw driver to very very slowly turn it open. You will hear air escape at one point, or drips of water coming out of the small hole you see in the picture. If you can no longer hear air escape, or a steady small stream of water comes out, all air is released and you can close it again.

Linus Torvalds to Hector Martin: 'Maybe the problem is you'

Reply in thread

Martin has nearly always been like this. Ive known martin from way way way back when he worked on the wii and he has always been a guy that just causes drama by pointing and saying "this is shit. Look at this shit". It isnt a bad thing to do, but the way he does it is basically going to somebody's home with a sledgehammer and smashing a wall without checking in. It turns people away from you even if youre right.

He had a beef and drama with me, devkitpro, gbatemp.
Then he stopped being on my radar, heard he was working on asahi, then heard he was causing drama between emulation devs, then luois rossman, and now bloody linus torvalds?
