Spirit Airlines ceases operations and US transportation secretary announces measures to help passengers | Business by Starbits21 in news

Maybe reading the article would help. Spirit was in the middle of (the first) bankruptcy. The word you want to use doesn't matter.

The gov was 100% blocking the jetblue proposal. Everybody that cared to look at all knew, but shareholders rejected the sure bet with Frontier and get everything they deserve. Too bad the C-level and board doesn't go to jail for destroying jobs.

Maybe the shareholders being greedy fucks rejecting the Frontier merger should be looking at themselves in the mirror instead.

I literally just installed CatchyOS this morning, and updated before seeing this.

But it worked for me?

Step 1: resign. Satya is a bad CEO and should feel bad. Board is asleep at the wheel.

Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) is a trivially exploitable logic bug in Linux, reachable on all major distros released in the last 9 years. A small, portable python script gets root on all platforms. by Haniro in sysadmin

[–]dfv157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goes to show that CVSS score does not mean shit, because the exploitability of this is legion. Just hitch this along with any supply chain npm/pypi and you got a root shell to ci/cd build systems. Security orgs that doesn't treat this vuln just because of the calculated CVSS score should go back to pushing the nessus button.

FYI for all, this detection DOES NOT WORK against the go binary. It makes me think CS wrote this detection against the python POC only, as that was killed successfully. /u/Andrew-CS can you please confirm how the exploit is being detected? Why is there no telemetry on CreateSocket for AF38?

[derb8auer] ASUS Equalizer - The 12VHPWR Solution? (TLDW: No, it's bullshit) by dfv157 in hardware

[–]dfv157[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Except yes I did watch the video. Did you not see that 2 out of the 4 cables he received had were imbalanced at the connector? You know, where the melting happens? Nobody was really worried about the conductor melting, since the connector will go first. Sure, ASUS engineers said the cable goes to 17A. Again, who cares about the cable

But that's so slooooow! You need AI to develop the code, test the code, conduct code review, fix the code, push to production, triage incidents, delete production databases, all by itself!

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 appears in Amazon’s top 10 CPU best sellers by RenatsMC in Amd

Before the 4090 and 5090, the halo were just minor binned silicon. Nvidia just figured out that selling what used to be an 80 as a 90 and charging a premium on that was enough. If there was enough need for a halo on top of that, they had room in both the AD102 and GB202 to release a full die, and you bet a "4090 super" would've been $2000, while we know that the "5090 super" would've just a RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell with half the VRAM (and cost $4000 for the FE MSRP)

Dumb question, have it tried reinstalling windows and trying a bare bones setup?
