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?

It’s so weird.

Due to the fact that Facebook has chosen to involve software that will allow the theft of my personal information, I do declare the following: on this day, 30th November 2014, in response to the new Facebook guidelines and under articles L.111, 112 and 113 of the code of intellectual property, I declare that my rights are attached to all my personal data, drawings, paintings, photos, texts etc… published on my profile since the day I opened my account. For commercial use of the foregoing my written consent is required at all times. Those reading this text can copy it and paste it on their Facebook wall. This will allow them to place themselves under the protection of copyright. By this release, I tell Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, broadcast, or to take any other action against me on the basis of this profile and/or its contents. The actions mentioned above apply equally to employees, students, agents and/or other staff under the direction of Facebook. The contents of my profile include private information. The violation of my privacy is punished by the law (UCC 1 1-308 - 308 1 -103 and the Rome Statute). Facebook is now an open capital entity. All members are invited to post a notice of this kind, or if you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you have not published this statement at least once, you will tacitly allow the use of elements such as your photos as well as the information contained in your profile update. Do not share. Just copy on paste on your wall.

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’m impressed the verge was able to refer to the issue without using the word nudes in the headline.

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.

Honestly, the mastodon obsession seems like a you problem. Talk about what you want on the fediverse. Maybe mastodon users see it, maybe they don’t, who cares.

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?
