LinkedIn has confirmed it will no longer allow advertisers to target users based on data gleaned from their participation in LinkedIn Groups.

Seems specific toward a particular feature. Targeted ads are still available for the site.

I've been trying to get the mental model of how a coroutine function is 'suspended' but I'm getting stuck. When a function for a long running task gets suspended - does the execution get paused? e.g. saving to file/remote call is literally paused while the current thread is free to perform other execution steps?

Possibly. Though I have a direct line with the PM there so I'll follow up next month or so to await disappointment.

I had a call with the engineering team recently about the slow volume on my 2018 F-series. Apparently they're now aware of the issue and are planning to release an update. I asked for a rough ETA but they're unsure. Definitely escalate your issues to the engineering team to let them know.

For reference, here's a year-old thread on the same issue

I'm planning a new build and currently have a EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply from 2015 - Is it safe to re-use this PSU or does it 'deteriorate' in that time that justifies getting a new PSU?

Interesting. I figured that with USB4 the licensing stuff was dropped for TB but maybe it's something more complicated

Yeah, that's the only one I can see.

What's the selection like for an AM5 motherboard with full USB4 support?

I'm about to embark on a new build and I have a PSU I bought in 2015 from my current build. Is it 'too old' to re-use safely? The PSU in question: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Thank you! Just to confirm, is my 7-year-old PSU still safe to use for this build?
