@thomasfuchs That's a big drive for an XP-era laptop :)

@thomasfuchs Why not Turbo then? :)

@thomasfuchs It works if you use a 3rd party interface (https://phanpy.social/ works, though it apparently can't do replies and quotes at the same time).

@elduvelle @catsalad Found a slightly nicer version:

@fmarini @thomasfuchs Yeah, even Windows 10 Start Menu was noticeably slower to open than 3rd party alternatives, and 11 made it way worse (lost count how many times I've seen it open only to show a version number in the corner, but no content for 5-10 seconds).

@whitequark @natkr Reminds me of buying codesigning certificates from Globalsign and Comodo. Both ignored the government-issued ids (including a certificate issued by the state CA), and instead required me to provide a bank statement and some bills in my name (for Comodo I even had to have them notarised); as all of my statements and bills have been digital for close to two decades (and digital bills were not considered trustworthy, despite having a digital signature), I simply printed them on a colour laser printer, then photocopied them and notarised the copy.

@thomasfuchs That's supposed to be implemented in the future.

@thomasfuchs It works the other way around, too – click quote, find the post you want to reply to and click Reply.

@thomasfuchs Are you trying to create a loop?

@thomasfuchs I never used classic MacOS, was this a built-in function?

@thomasfuchs @foone Given the capital K, I'd say it's 77950 bytes.

@SwiftOnSecurity

@pq1r @ryanc This. And recent laptops usually don't mind if you replace the WiFi card any more (for a while you'd need BIOS hacks to allow booting after replacing WiFi card).

@GossiTheDog A client of mine (that I first notified on September 25th) finally patched after they were nudged by their upstream. Funnily enough, their firewall contractor is still running firmware from 2023 according to your scan :)

@djsumdog @flacs TB3 only uses USB-C port, but with TB4 things are more complicated – while USB4 doesn't need to support everything TB4 does, supposedly Microsoft said they wouldn't certify USB4 drivers that didn't support all transport modes, making USB4 and TB4 effectively equivalent.

OTOH, in the previous post I was just counting all the different types of USB ports, and since TB3 and up use USB-C ports, they probably should count up there (as would USB-C ports that support DP-Alt mode).

Also, Apple wasn't the only one with MiniDP TB2 ports – at least some HP laptops also had them.

@titusDeGroan @ryanc This isn't using OpenSSH, it's based on russh.

@ryanc Nope, no change.

@ryanc Here's PuTTY's log if it helps any:
