I don’t believe small lithium batteries can explode like that. Not even big car batteries explode like that. They make a big fire but not this kind of explosion.

Either explosives were implanted somehow by IDF in the supply chain, or Hezbollah is crazy enough to put explosives there, just in case the devices fall in enemy hands, and IDF learned that and trigger the explosions remotely.

Everywhere, except India, it’s about 3%.

With India the average is a bit more than 4%.

Well, thank you for pointing me to this project. Didn’t know about it. I’ve just built it. So, the part of I’ll do my best to see what can I help with applies here to.

The project management may have some obvious problems (jOin dIsc0Rd sErVEr; w0rD “thEy” t0o p0liTicAl). But we really need an alternative to browsers funded by Google (Chrome and Firefox).

So I’ll do my best to actually build from sources and see what can I help with. Attacking the author is helping nobody.

And for the folks who are saying “wHy n0t rUst”, you can always show me the (rust) code.

Oh, it’s gonna use polkit. Sudo bloat is a grain of sand compared to polkit.

Why people want to replace sudo with polkit? Visudo is no near as obscure as configuring polkit.

I hope distro maintainers don’t follow this.

If you’re concerned about security, consider GPG signing your kernel with Libreboot GRUB for an additional layer of verification at boot.

Hey! I had no idea that was possible. I usually encrypt everything but /boot, because it’s easy that way.

I don’t have a “threat model” of someone puting malware in /boot while I’m away of the computer. But it would be nice to know how to prevent that.

Do you have a link of a guide or tutorial for that?

I used a hand dust blower intended for photography gear. I opened the laptop, blew the dust, disconnected the SSD and blew the socket and it’s surroundings.

Now I will monitor the logs and see if it helps.

Thanks.

I opened it. All cables were looking good. I used a hand blower to clean the dust. Taked out the SSD and blew the socket and everything around.

Now I’m going to monitor if it keeps happening.

OK. I’ll use a dust blower for photography gear. Thanks. Let’s see if it works.

I did a short and a long test. It looks good

[…] by replacing the motherboard, by replacing the processor, by reseating the NVME drive in its slot, by verifying that your power supply is reliable…

I will start with the cheapest option 😅

I assume the power supply is reliable. Having a battery should make it more stable I guess.

Friends don’t let friends to use snap.

I used to love Ubuntu. But for many reasons, snaps among them, it no longer exists to me. It’s just Mint or Debian if I need something Ubuntu-like.

These news are obviously false. Google is not doing this.

Probably Snapchat or the phone automatically reported something.

I don’t believe the Snapshat app doesn’t use TLS, nor the airport performed some sophisticated man-in-the-middle attack.

1.3K forks already lol

Please remember to fork it outside github. They will probably delete all forks based on intellectual property bs written in their TOS.
