Once it ships on Debian 15

Hey what's the best way to deal with a scammer who took over someone's discord account?

Long story short I had a really close friend on discord only (rookie mistake but I didn't want to push then for anything personal =3)

And some scammers took over the account and are demanding 200 dollars . . . They first tried to scam me by pretending to be her to get me to give them money but it was obviously not the person so now their trying to scam me to maybe get info on contacting my friend :(

It makes me really sad and I was wondering if any of you fine folk might know what to do . . . Im not sure what the proper way to figure this out is frens. . .

>And I doubt they actually have the info; I feel like their just lying to try and scam more money as they tried a scam earlier

Any nice hacker folks who hate scammers about and might know a trick or two that could be pulled =3

This person was really a special person and I'd genuienly be a much sadder person if I never got to talk to them again.

Like I reported them to discord and nothing happened so idk what to do frens . . .

If the account was stolen, contact Discord support. Seems like the logical thing to do.

That being said, if you were such close friends, then this friend of yours can just make another account and contact you, no? Seems like a non-issue.
>>
>>107830073

That's the problem I've not found them again :( and i don't have another means of contacting them and idk if they would know my account to add it again.

But thanks for your recommendations and I'll report it to discord support.

>make it run on a modern EFI system
Take a gander at Arch or Gentoo or similar installation manual, they are all basically the same. Relevant part is the one where you take a kernel image, place it at the EFI system partition (named as linux.efi for example) and create an appropriate boot entry.
Pro tip: use
>root=PARTUUID=****
for identifying the root filesystem. Assumed you aren't using encryption or LVM or RAID or anything of the sort, if you are you need the usual initramfs wizardy and idk about that stuff.
>>
>>107831361
Thanks for the tips.
I already have experience with using the Ubuntu EFI stack and kernel on old distros (Bitdefender RescueCD, which is Gentoo-based). It's a matter of copying a few files across from the Ubuntu ISO.

I'm pretty sure they have hybrid ones now that have rechargeable internal batteries; All you would need to do is connect with USB to charge when it gets low. I imagine they would last in the ball-park of 8-10 hours per charge, depending on the battery capacity, and if they force you to use rgb. Look for something that doesn't have lights, or allows you to toggle the lights on/off.

I have three wireless mice.
Logitech M-RBY125 from 2008, uses two batteries and lasts about a year with low use.
Logitech M705 (from 2014?) takes two batteries but uses one at a time. I recharge the batteries every 6 months, with heavy use.
Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed (2020) takes one battery and consumes it within 4-5 weeks with moderate use (2-3 hours a day). It muches through 10+ alkaline batteries per year, which in my opinion is very excessive.

Note that this data is with the mice never turned off manually, they are left to sleep on their own.

I think you're expecting too much from /g/. Nobody here has ever designed something as complex as an online games protocol and nobody here understands what using QUIC gives you over TCP and what you give up in exchange, especially in expensive server setups.

At most, you'll get some schizo off his meds complaining that "THE TRANNIES!!!!!" are getting rid of TCP to further their goals of world domination or something.

That's not how those things work, specially with people like EA, they keep spamming Steam discussions how Linux has more cheaters and when they disabled Linux support it was like they banned ~300k cheaters.
>Why is proton a separate project and not upstream wine?

Why do people think an OS is just for vijeojames?
Some people need to get their work done and some FOSS alternatives to production software are time wasting garbage.

Not much, but there's no tangible way that the backlash can outweigh the financial gain (yet), so they can penny pinch in all kinds of imperceptibly tiny ways that don't actually make THAT much money and it doesn't matter even if you scream about it all day. The only thing that could make a real impact to the company's conduct is its userbase fleeing to another video hosting service but unless TikTok expands to long-form horizontal video that ain't happening.

The wall of debt thrown at LLMs is now a systemic risk.

Why do laptop manufactures like HP go out of their way to sell "consumer grade" laptops with shoddy build quality when they can just rebrand old business laptops? I don't see why we can't have old inventories of Zbooks/Elitebooks/Probooks from a couple years ago sold at a discount or rebranded for consumer lines. Windows laptops already have an abysmal reputation for being cheap plastic with hinges made out of toothpicks, the least they can do is this.

Apple says Face ID is more secure than Touch ID but is that even true?
Sure, Face ID is statistically less likely to return a false positive with random faces because faces are more diverse than fingerprints are but fingerprints are more randomly distributed, so the odds that you know someone who shares enough facial features with you (say, biological family members, for instance) to trigger a false positive have to be higher than someone you know having a similar enough fingerprint. Even though faces can potentially be more different between individuals, fingerprints are less often shared between people the user and people who regularly appear in his life, who are the most likely people to attempt to unlock his devices without his permission.
Additionally, if you're holding someone else's phone in their presence, I'd imagine it's harder to unlock their phone against their will by taking them by surprise with Touch ID than it would be with Face ID. With Face ID, all the user has to do is glance at the device for even a split second. With Touch ID, you need to place your finger -- the right finger -- on the sensor and press. It's a more involved and intentional process, but also a more convenient one because you don't have to uncover your face or position yourself correctly or make eye contact with the device in order to initiate the unlock sequence.
Shouldn't it also be harder to fabricate a counterfeit fingerprint than it would be to create a mask realistic enough to unlock the device?

Basically, Touch ID seems just better than Face ID across the board. The only practical upside to Face ID I can think of is the ability to read notification details without touching the device.

Is there something I'm not considering here or are fingerprint sensors just better than facial recognition?

Anon I think you're conflating Face Unlock (Android; uses RGB "selfie" cam) with Face ID (uses TrueDepth, separate from the selfie camera).
Taking a photo or video of the device's owner only works with Face Unlock because Face Unlock is purely software and just scans the camera feed for what looks like a face before comparing that face to the one on file. Face ID looks for shape, not color. It uses lasers to create a depth map of whatever objects are in front of it and compare that shape to the one on file. If you hold up a photo of the registered face, the TrueDepth camera won't see the photo. It'll just see the shape of whatever object is supposed to be displaying it. So, a hand holding a rectangle. And since neither of those shapes resemble a human head, it wouldn't trigger a false positive.
This is also why Face ID works in pitch black darkness and Face Unlock does not, and why Face ID doesn't care about things like makeup or lighting.
