I ordered an S10 tab, paid my first rate, they finally try to order it
Who is "they" in this? Some sort of intermediary you were using?

I take issue with this forced distinction they are making
Micron, like Samsung and SK Hynix, already supplies memory chips directly to third-party brands such as G.Skill and ADATA. Even without Crucial-branded kits, Micron DRAM continues to reach consumers through other manufacturers, meaning overall supply remains largely unchanged.
Nobody ever officially suggested the Crucial supply was likely to shift to the other manufacturers for consumers. On the contrary people expect this to be a step towards a general redistribution of manufacturing capacity towards HBM for parallel compute products.
By comparison, Samsung exiting SATA SSDs removes an entire class of finished consumer products from one of the world’s largest NAND suppliers. Tom argues that this is why the Samsung move is “worse” for consumers: it directly affects how many drives are available, not just who sells them.
If you wanted you could make the same argument as for Micron. Who says the Samsung NAND couldn't be bought by other OEMs to make consumer SSDs. It's just as possible as the Micron supply shifting to other OEMs who make consumer RAM sticks.
To me neither are likely. The manufacturing capacity both companies are pulling from the consumer market in both cases is going to go to the higher profit margin parallel compute server market. Neither is worse than the other, they are both equally bad news for us consumers.
I don't get how this was exploited in practise.
Even if the signatures on the downloaded packages weren't checked properly, how would you modify the content of the XML file returned from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?version=8.8.0 ? For that you'd have to break or MITM the TLS too, no?
The usual case for TLS MITM is when a company decides DPI is more important than E2E encryption and they terminate all TLS on the firewall, but if the firewall is compromised there would be much easier avenues of entry other than notepad++
Yeah has a bit of those Ben Shapiro vibes.
Don't you think people would sell their houses on the coastline and move?
I wish people (especially journalists) would get it through their skulls already:
- Vehicles don't communicate with satellites.
- GNSS (like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, or BeiDou) do not use two way communication.
- The satellite can therefore not know the position of a GNSS receiver.
- Instead the satellites send timestamps and their positions, the receiver uses that information to calculate its own position. If the system with the receiver needs to report its position to someone they typically use some form of terrestrial communication, like mobile phone networks.
With that knowledge the comment by /u/imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com makes a lot more sense than whatever the article is trying to imply about satellite failures.
Last weekend my PC didn't start up, it was beeping an error code. I was so scared of it being a memory issue while diagnosing.
But luckily it was a video error code. And after swapping out the GPU and still getting the beep, even more luckily, it turned out to be the display being stuck in a bad state and just needing a reboot.
vu, the past participle of voir.
The bad config file is somewhere in the middle of the chain of causality.
They changed database permissions, revealing a dormant bug in a database query, leading to config files being generated badly with duplicate lines, making them too large for intake by the bot detection service, which didn't have good input validation and made the process panic instead, ruining the service.
This seems like old news to me. The consultation period to the VÜPF revision ran early this year. I remember because we voiced our issues with the revision through our business association Asut. Just looked it up, it was 29. Jan to 6. May.
Almost all the big parties were against it, only The Centre didn't submit a statement : https://www.inside-it.ch/vupf-revision-faellt-in-der-vernehmlassung-komplett-durch-20250507
And the organization Digitale Gesellschaft has since collected 15000 signatures for a petition to the Federal Council : https://www.digitale-gesellschaft.ch/2025/05/18/petition-demokratie-statt-ueberwachungsstaat-an-bundesrat-beat-jans-vorsteher-des-eidgenoessischen-justiz-und-polizeidepartements-ejpd/
I'm not against Tuta also taking a stance, it's good if they do. Its just a bit weird that they marked it "Breaking News". I just wanted to give some context that this is not a new thing, and people are working against the proposal already.

I hope you mean wing otherwise that makes even less sense to me
It may act on the whole market, but it doesn't have the same impact on every OEM.
It's a bigger issue for Valve than the console competition, who have established supply chains potentially with fixed prices for certain terms or at least more significant volume discounts, and proprietary compatibility hurdles binding their customers, so they can sell hardware at a loss if they want to.
If Valve sells the computers at a loss they run the risk of people buying them for other uses, without generating corresponding Steam profits.
