So many capital letters in that headline, it reads like my grandma trying to figure out texting.

And the trademarks were sleazily grabbed from the original creator :/

"Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec"

Amen to that

It's never a good sign when you have to say something like that...

The official guidance has to come from Crowdstrike since it's their problem, but this tip has helped on about 50% of our affected machines so far.

Google's dream of hijacking an open standard (on Android at least) is achieved :/

"Wayland" doesn't support any GPU's, it's the job of each GPU driver to support Wayland (and Nvidia's now does).

Police in the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel pulled Irsay over after observing a man in a Toyota Highlander driving slowly, stopping in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal.

Lol. Yeah police across the world are constantly pulling over Toyota Highlanders driving like a confused elderly lady merging on to an interstate, everyone knows that's the profile for a whiny jackass billionaire.

I think this news only affects Humble Games but not Humble Bundle, confusingly they are separate but semi-related businesses these days.

Nerrrrrrd.

...I would say "What about SECAMworld?", but that definitely sounds like a nsfw cam models site.

Only if they manage Crowdstrike systems, thankfully.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people understand that RISC-V doesn't mean every RISC-V SoC is open. It's only the underlying architecture that's actually open.

Unfortunately multiple sources seem to agree Dong Nguyen has no involvement, which is consistent with the way he originally shut down Flappy Bird due to people spending too much time on it :(

"The Flappy Bird Foundation said it has acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings LLC, a U.S. company that appears to have wrestled the trademark from Nguyen, as well as the rights for the original game and character from Piou Piou vs. Cactus, the mobile game that supposedly originally inspired the Flappy Bird character."

I never thought I would see a year where Zenimax managed to crank out both an Arkane and a Bethesda release but still got no real traction.

They bought Bungie specifically to help them launch Live Service games, but now Bungie's own game is cratering. Understandable why they wouldn't have a ton of confidence launching a bunch of them now, but I can't really say I'm sad about it.

You can try hacking support for Widevine DRM into Waydroid using the third party "waydroid_script" tool, but obviously no guarantees: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script#integrate-widevine-drm-l3

Considering Unity's path to profitability basically seems to be "layoffs and prayers" I suspect you're not far off :/

Which is terribly underperforming when you consider how many more dogs exist in proximity to humans compared to hippos. If a prankster wizard suddenly conjured a few million hippos into homes around the world you can bet they wouldn't settle for merely snuffing out 50x-70x more humans. On the upside, they'd definitely chomp a lot of people we don't like too

...what?

A busted kernel module/driver/plug-in/whatever that triggers a bootloop is going to require intervention on any platform no matter whether the code happens to be published somewhere out on the internet or not. On top of that, Windows allows you to control/remove 3rd party kernel drivers just like on Linux, which is exactly what many of us have been stuck doing on endless devices for the last three days.

I fully advocate for open-source software and use it where I can, but I also think we should do that by talking about its actual advantages instead of just making up nonsense that will make experienced sysadmins spit out their coffee.

It sounds like you're referring to the National Socialist German Workers' Party of WWII infamy. People are probably going to assume something else, FYI.
