We’re all trying to figure out where these headlines came from. The stable channel with all the fixes does not (at this time) bundle the warning. How is that users have become confused and believe the dev channel is the only way to get security fixes?

I don’t know why you’d jump to the dev channel, though. Just apply the stable channel update.

I’m going to go way out on a limb here and guess nothing will happen if I do neither.

Thoughts and prayers for scarjo.

People are concerned about non issues all the time.

I’m sure it still works in photoshop or whatever, just not the windows stuff.

Because it comes from a laptop with rounded corners on the top of the lid and a flat hinge on the bottom.

What critical information are people putting in the six missing pixels?

Now people want recall?

What?

Are these millions of potential customers in the room with us?

A simpler explanation is that users are tired of everybody with a customer support issue running to daddy HN and making a big fuss trying to get their way.

So weird, that’s not what I see.

I will never use a Windows laptop because it wakes up in the middle of the night to apply some stupid update, then glitches out, and can’t go back to sleep. So every morning I find a laptop with a dead battery. Sometimes if I wake up early, it’ll still be hot from whatever it was doing.

Fixing that stupid bug should have been easier than porting the whole OS and app stack and emulator to a new CPU arch. And I have no faith they fixed the bug anyway, so it’ll probably still happen to ARM models. So no thank you.

Must be using a cut down keyboard without an enter key.

What is this “world of content” the author is talking about? 17 years ago, the streaming options on Netflix were the previous season of Friday Night Lights, and… that was it. A few years later they got The Office, but never the current season. So you were always behind. These articles never seem to include a graph of available content over time.

You um… did know that um… mastodon did produce a um… product before the board change, right?

Is there a seven paragraph summary or something I can read? It’s a written document. I can just read it myself, maybe?

So what should a regulated search utility do about SEO spam? Maybe publish an open source algorithm so I can test my spam before submitting it?

There’s plenty of dumb to go around, but the word frunk by itself is the dumbest thing about this story.
