I think the “it retains 98% charge” quote might be misleading. Thats true for the capacity (in Ah), but not for the energy (in Wh). The report shows this clearly in the tables:

Efficiency is about 83% if my math is right (which is still good).

The report is from an independant institute from Finland, not Poland:

For those of you who work in infosec: How is december going? At my place, it’s luckily pretty quiet.

I was recently thinking about who came up with the name. I wouldn’t have guessed the connection to port wine, but it makes sense - you can’t drink network ports.

For users who cannot immediately update, a potential workaround is to disable the virtual Bluetooth device. This can be done by unchecking the “Share Bluetooth devices with the virtual machine” option in the virtual machine’s USB Controller settings.

As far as I know, it’s a best practice to enable as few virtual hardware devices as possible. For example, most VMWare guests will not need USB or bluetooth or camera support.

A nice little side project at work this week was to finally store all our scripts in a git repo. Finally, they are all stored in one place and not cluttered all over the filesystem anymore.

Sort of a self-answer, now that i read more about this issue. The problem is not on the frontend (browser --> server), but with shared connections in the backend. E.g. you have a reverse proxy in place. Whats relevant is that the connection between the reverse proxy and the backend server should be HTTP/2.

Note that disabling HTTP/1 between the browser and the front-end is not required. These connections are rarely shared between different users and, as a result, they’re significantly less dangerous. Just ensure they’re converted to HTTP/2 upstream.

According to AMD, there are patches available for the affected CPUs.

I think “hot dog” was used as an example here. A hot dog has around 50 grams of meat (1.8 oz).

“With the latest update, you are now unable to read any encrypted PMs before may 2025. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

All of you who are interested in cyber security: What are you currently learning? Do you take any courses or study for some certifications?

Things are not really clear right now:

As such, we’re in a strange limbo, and we’re not totally sure where this leak came from. Until the dust clears, it’s a good idea to change your Steam password if you don’t have any additional security.

“web” would have sounded nice and clear, we also didn’t name FTP the World Wide File Transfer Protocol (WWFTP).

It annoys me how www. is pronounced in english. Really, double-u double-u double-u dot example dot com?

Usage requires less computer knowledge than answered

Oh no!!

The current tariff approach by the republican administration does not include the tariffs on US exports. They are not included in the formula.
