How can you realistically get hacked from using an outdated OS if you're behind a firewall? All those meme vids of "computer hacked after 10 seconds of connecting XP to the internet" involve turning off he firewall, from what I heard. If the firewall is on what is the realistic attack vector where you get hacked because of an unpatched weakness in the OS? Outdated browser maybe, but that goes for any OS. Is browser security worse on an outdated OS?

what does this actually do?
>>
Drive-by exploits that automatically execute just by you viewing something that loads the components in it. As I'm sure you know: there's much more to the OS than just the GUI. Windows is a sprawling mess of APIs, DLL files, system components, services, exes, registry keys. Some of this has vulnerable code in it. So maybe you end up using the latest browser but because it still talks to some windows DLL that does cryptography it ends up making your SSL vulnerable. Or maybe you open a website and your OS "helpfully" runs an associated program handler for a protocol format that turns out to be vulnerable.

What's so special about Arch? Why does it get memed on so hard? People say it has bleeding edge packages but why is that so important? Is it better for gaming or something? What makes it different from Mint?

The number of packages is misleading when comparing between distros. Many distros split one package into multiple packages, for example one package for the command line tool and one package for the library, one package for the documentation and different packages for different variants of the package. On arch each package usually contains everything the software provides. Some distros also contain a lot of old software that nobody uses while not providing new software that many people want to use. That's why even though debian may have more packages than arch by raw numbers, it actually has less software available.

I know, they prolly add it recently. Its needless to say that many programs you'll only find in the AUR, for me its just copium to say apt and dnf have less software because they pack things differently.

A woman named Madison was working at Linus tech tips. She quit and then alleged harassment. She's clearly crazy and a liar her allegations make no sense (what woman isn't crazy especially one in the workforce) and crashed out about it on Twitter https://twitter.com/suuuoppp/status/1691693740254228741

>I was expected to post 3 tweets, 2 Instagram posts, and 2 TikToks minimum per day.

>I was also expected to plan, film, edit, and post 2 Floatplane exclusives per week.

>This included wrangling people to be in them when they were also all struggling to get their work done.

>All while being told not to complain because my job was "the fun job".

>I remember getting told off for taking my sick days... This no days off, 'grindset' culminated in the real moment I realized I had to leave. I purposefully cut my leg open so badly I would have to go to the ER to get it stapled back together. It was genuinely the only way in my mind to take a day off without being harassed for a reason why.

Manufacturers will normalize the price hike. It happened to RAM, without any real reason all of a sudden SSD priced hiked. HDD prices hiked, soon CPU prices will hike. It's the typical shit where one change happens and all of a sudden everything becomes more expensive.

I have stolen a lot of big HDD's, I order them for work but I just take them home. Previously I've been able to do that quite well because the costs have been low enough to not warrant attention, but in the future, it's all ogre. Thank fuck I managed to do what I do before the price hike.

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.
