Debian has updated kernel packages out for the stable release. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-43284 I kind of get your point, but they responded pretty quickly here.

Most of us were using Zip drives to backup our files and then put the disks on shelf. There was no cloud backup, and 100MB was often enough for all your personal files.

For a lot of items I’ve looked into, Newegg and Microcenter had comparable prices. Several small items were cheaper at microcenter, presumably because Newegg marked up the prices for low cost items to cover the free shipping.

Don’t forget about power. If you’re trying to build a low power NAS, those hdds idle around 5w each, while the ssd is closer to 5mw. Once you’ve got a few disks, the HDDs can account for half the power or more. The cost penalty for 2TB or

Yep. I think you may be right, it’s EOL and probably doesn’t have any more updates available. I have a VM for when I need old Java, but I was going to need an older VM to run Flash, and that just wasn’t how I wanted to spend my time. :D

Even worse was one of mine last year that needed Flash. Apparently we neglected to update it. I can handle ancient Java, but trying to get Flash setup was going to be futile, so I just went to the data center.

I was not a reader as a kid. I just didn’t ever read books. But around age 13, I had to read a book for school. I picked up Eon at the library, and I read it, and actually wanted to read the whole thing. After that I got my hands on every

You can use the TOTP 6 digit code method, but instead of just scanning the QR code with your phone, you save the “serial” in your password manager and then all your employees can add that serial to the app on their device. Did that make se

IIRC there was a brief period of time in the US where manufacturers could omit putting airbags in cars if they used an automatic seat belt instead. So a couple manufacturers did this to keep their costs down, but eventually airbags were req

This is kind of funny to me. I’m on an iPhone 8 from October 2017, so it’s just a hair shy of 5 years. I haven’t had a case or screen protector on it for at least the last 4 years. It still runs the latest iOS version. As someone who is co

They already do that. There are weight and position sensors in the passenger seat that will disable the airbag if it detects an object under certain weight and height parameters. The airbag won’t go off if the seat is empty either. If you

The problem is that you don’t know how long the outage will be when it starts. I once saw a large outage start, everyone jumped on to troubleshoot, thinking it would be an hour. 8 hours later it’s still an outage, and everyone is still on

Another factor I haven't seen mentioned in the responses yet is safety to human bodies. You (or your kid) can stick a wet finger in a 12V DC charger socket in your car and not get an electric shock, including any of the exposed contac
