Right but for aircraft we've got torque wrenches which can stop overtightening much more accurately.

The Linux Kernel Looks To "Bite The Bullet" In Enabling Microsoft C Extensions
Reply in thread
From what I can see, the GNU Compiler Collection supports this flag, so you can still build it with 100% free software.
Basically, it's just behavior that doesn't align with the C standard, but was introduced by MS. Then, GCC added a compiler flag which makes it behave like that, so that you can build code that requires that behavior.
It doesn't seem to actually be dependent on MS, rather it's named after them because it emulates the way their compiler works. I hope no Linux maintainers would entertain the idea of making it dependent on a non-free compiler.

Chinese Cars Can’t Cross From Canada to US, Trump’s Envoy Says
"security concerns" with the data collected by the vehicles... The same data every car company in the US is already collecting. If that's what you're concerned about, just pass a law banning that sort of data collection... Oh yeah, you meant Ford shareholder security.

Peter Thiel’s secret lectures on Antichrist in Rome spark debate
I still struggle to understand if these people (Thiel et al.) genuinely believe the "DOOM IS COMING, WE MUST DESTROY THE WORLD TO MAKE GOD HAPPY" stuff, or if they're just trying to market their grifting to the religious people...

Linux 6.19 Gets Rid Of The Kernel's "Genocide" Function
To elaborate a bit: what that function does (well, tries to do - it has serious limitations, which is why there is only one caller remaining and that one is used only when nothing else can access the filesystem anymore) is "kill given dentry, along with all its children, all their children, etc."
I sincerely doubt that you will be able to come up with any word describing such action in any real-world context that would not come with very nasty associations.
I feel like there could have been better names possible... d_recursive_kill perhaps? I'm certainly not an expert in this system but I find it challenging to believe that "genocide" was the only word that is adequately descriptive of the functionality.
In fact, I'd argue it's not that descriptive, given that genocide involves targeting some group of people based on some trait, like race, culture, disability, etc. - based on the description "kill given dentry, along with all its children, all their children, etc." that doesn't seem to fit...
perhaps I'm overthinking.

Are ISPs responsible for bots having residential IPs or is this a user problem?
There was an article here about one of the companies doing this, basically one of the methods is having apps on people's smart TVs or phones that scrape the web in the background and upload to a control server. So it's a person's genuine device in a genuine residence in some cases.
