If running a windows game through wine, there are some risks if the game contains a virus.

The biggest risk is that wine typically makes your Linux user files available by having them mounted as the z: drive. If you run an exe that’s actually ransomware, it can possibly encrypt some of your userfiles if permissions allow. This isn’t an issue if you run the games through steam, because it runs windows programs in containers.

There’s also a risk of keyloggers, but they should only work for things running inside the same wine session.

It also led to mass protests across Pakistan, after a policeman questioned why the woman had been out late on her own.

The day after the attack, a senior police official in Lahore, Umer Sheikh, appeared in front of the media and implied the woman was partly to blame.

He questioned why she had not taken a busier road, given that she was alone with her young children.

Man what a terrible take. Her car broke down, she had the doors locked, and they broke the windows and dragged her out before raping her at gunpoint. She was also a foreign tourist, and can’t be expected to know all the good/bad parts of town imo.

The man was specifically allowed to have a ceremonial dagger due to being a Sikh. The Sikh claimed he had been attacked over racial motives, which led the police to discount what the student was saying. So multiple parts of this were very much based on the man being Sikh. You couldn’t properly cover the story without mentioning the fact, so it’s not surprising it’s in the headline

“do you use KDE or Gnome?”

“Minecraft”

It should still fix minor stuttering that some gets get on Linux, which will be pretty huge.

Sounds like it comes with a refillable cartridge, but you can also use off the shelf HP cartridges.

And since there’s no DRM, 3rd party cartridges will work too.

I think you mean laptop keypads

(Actually the 103+ keys thing is specifically USB standard stuff, so if it doesn’t connect via USB I don’t know if it counts)

I read this on hacker news awhile back, and enjoyed it quite a bit. The unrelated trivia part about USB keyboards needing at least 103 keys or they’re just a keypad especially stuck with me, and has been cited in discussions of a certain meme:

There’s multiple parts.

First there was a massive pandemic relief fraud. A bunch of people exploited programs meant to feed kids, because those programs had relaxed checks during the pandemic. The main organization here is “Feeding our Future” who helped various individuals fraud the government.

Basically they claimed to be serving millions of meals to kids, with fabricated invoices/etc.

In exchange for Feeding our Future helping individuals with the fraud, they required kickbacks from the individuals. A lot of this money was used to buy real estate, especially in Kenya and Turkey (which makes it very difficult to recover the money).

Not everyone involved was Somali, be the majority of the people charged were part of the same Somali-american community.

Recently it was found out that some similar fraud was happening with Somali run daycares. They were getting millions in subsides, while having few to no children present at the daycares.

Tim Walz and the Department of Education are being criticized over various parts of how they handled it. The Minnesota Department of Education had warnings about the fraud as early as 2018, but ignored them. Later on they asked the Feeding Our Future to investigate themselves for fraud (which obviously didn’t work).

When the pandemic meal fraud was discovered in 2021, the MDE decided to continue payments to the fraudsters because they claimed they didn’t have enough evidence to win in court. Tim Walz later claimed a judge forced them to continue payments, but the Judge released a statement saying that was a lie. There’s some speculation that Walz was originally trying to avoid it going to court to avoid it being a big scandal.

Finally when Walz did announce the fraud, he framed it as a success that they caught these people, even though it had gone on for years and huge amounts of money had already been stolen.

I’ve long heard that his identity is an open secret and a lot of people know his actual identity. Solid chance the UK government already knows who he is.

As some others have said, the problem is probably that windows still has the drive locked. When windows “shuts down”, it actually is only closing your programs and going into hibernation. This leaves the drive in a read only state, which will prevent you from being able to resize the partition.

To do a full shutdown, you can hold shift while pressing the shutdown button on the start menu. Alternatively run shutdown /s /f /t 0 in a administrative command prompt.

Or new incognito window.

It still might be worth trying another DE/WM for a bit to see if the issue is KDE exclusive. It might help you narrow down the cause.

Probably not it, but what DE/WM are you using? I had a very similar issue on KDE, but it would go away if I switched DEs.

I’m actually for paper voting. The largest producer of voting machines in the US (ES&S) got in trouble in 2019 for having their voting machines connected to the internet with remote access software installed, denied it, and then later admitted that it was true for at least some of their machines.

Also their CEO insists that even when using voting machines, that there needs to be a paper record of every vote cast for it to be trustworthy and verifiable.

From what I’ve read, Microsoft just decided to drop support for the PL-2303HXA/ TA/TB/HXD/RA/SA/EA. Some people report that RA chipsets still work some of the time, but inconsistently.

You can also sometimes forcibly install old drivers, that will continue to work.

Yeah, windows 10/11 has broken a ton of stuff. I have to use RS232 plugs for programming controllers at work, and I had to buy new usb-RS232 cables for all our computers because windows 11 broke support for all the older cables. I’ve also had a lot of programs break.

It’s really frustrating to be trying to troubleshoot if an old controller is working or not, and not know if you can’t connect to it because it’s fried or if some new windows update is preventing the connection/software from working.

Wait this is in the US? How, this is even more expensive than Hawaii, and they have obvious reasons for power to be more expensive there

That seems really high, I think power where I live is about 12-14 cents per kilowatt hour. What makes it so expenses where you live?

One of my biggest pet peeves with corporate websites. It’s like they’re afraid that clearly stating what they do will prevent them from growing and doing other things as well. So instead they refuse to say anything coherent.
