I'm a full TKL man myself. I don't mind the space, just don't like using space for stuff I never use.

I spent 30 years thinking someday I'd start using the number pad and then finally gave up. I like having the typing part centered more.

Ukraine won't sign minerals deal with US if it threatens EU membership, Zelensky says in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I think in Ukraine's position, this wouldn't be a good idea. They unfortunately need to keep to their agreements to keep the support of their allies. I think they'd be much better off to just not sign the agreement and let their European allies take over. Either that or sign something that makes Trump think he's getting something when he's really not (my understanding is that almost all of the rare earths now sit on territory occupied by Russia, so that's likely to be what the original agreement was).

Please. US technology is rapidly being weaponized not just against the EU but against the US' own citizens. We need quality local alternatives.

Original Title: TIL In 1983, it was announced on radio that the hard to find Cabbage Patch Dolls would be dropped from a plane at County Stadium. People just needed to hold up a catcher’s mitt and their credit card, to be photographed by the plane. 20-30 people fell for the prank and showed up at the stadium.

Original Title: TIL research has found that swearing can reduce the perception of pain (providing a measurable analgesic effect) by as much as 33%. Because swearing is processed in so many different parts of the brain at once, it’s more effective than almost anything else at distracting from pain and discomfort.

Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices [ESP32] (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

Archive: https://archive.is/2025.03.08-191658/https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/undocumented-backdoor-found-in-bluetooth-chip-used-by-a-billion-devices/

The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains an undocumented "backdoor" that could be leveraged for attacks.

The undocumented commands allow spoofing of trusted devices, unauthorized data access, pivoting to other devices on the network, and potentially establishing long-term persistence.

This was discovered by Spanish researchers Miguel Tarascó Acuña and Antonio Vázquez Blanco of Tarlogic Security, who presented their findings yesterday at RootedCON in Madrid.
