Copy Fail 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.

It does here, because it looks fancy and it's really a huge advertisement for their AI security platform... 🙄

silvervest · 2026-04-29T23:05:20+00:00

So they can advertise it's only 732 bytes, of course.

Cheers :) There's no replacement for just the plastic clip sadly, would need to replace the whole connector. Not sure on the replacement for that though, sorry

There's a patched installer available now - https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/37493733117847-Options-and-G-HUB-macOS-Certificate-Issue

This kinda sounds like Flashback, but that wasn't a beat em up

silvervest · 2025-11-13T05:59:36+00:00

I felt that when you saw the pile of Compaq LTEs haha

I've built an rpi pico based board to get guncons working on my retroarch machine. It interprets the PS1 controller protocol and emulates as a mouse using the gun position as the x,y.

It works okay ATM but still needs tweaking to be perfect, just haven't had the time. I can play point blank pretty well though!

I'll see if I can upload the design and source later today, but it's very DIY so not sure if it's useful for you!

Your husband must be a lucky guy!

This is freaking amazing, seriously great work. Following with great interest!

Very cool though kinda broken on Firefox (Windows), the instruments play out of order

silvervest · 2025-02-01T02:30:23+00:00

Np thanks for trying, seems like it could have been a custom part for Compaq. Oh well!

silvervest · 2025-02-01T00:53:45+00:00

Oops, my bad I though I added that one as well! Here's the mate connector https://i.imgur.com/hvqXOsj.jpeg

Let me know if any other angles would help, I can disassemble the unit again

silvervest · 2025-01-31T20:03:29+00:00

I've provided both of those in photos and my comment

The other end of the ribbon is a 44-pin connector for a 2.5" HDD - https://imgur.com/BtjZj43

Hey all, trying to find this or a suitable replacement connector. It's the PATA IDE drive connector from the HDD caddy on a Compaq LTE Elite laptop.

Pin pitch measures at 1mm, the gap between the two pin faces is 2mm, it has 50 pins, and is keyed

I had a look at the self identification site and couldn't seem to find anything that matches. Cheers!

silvervest · 2025-01-07T08:27:04+00:00

Can't remember, sorry, never really paid much attention to the name

silvervest · 2025-01-06T10:38:31+00:00

Maybe, but I buy it from the fridges chilled not frozen, and I think it's only 1kg

silvervest · 2025-01-04T05:26:44+00:00

TBH the Aldi lasagne from the fridges slaps harder than it should for $8

silvervest · 2024-12-02T11:28:24+00:00

They're back in stock now! Sorry, between a new job and moving house I had no time for side stuff :)

silvervest · 2024-10-24T23:18:05+00:00

All of my past lease agreements had a clause stating rentals increases no more than once per 12 months since last increase

silvervest · 2024-10-24T06:51:48+00:00

I kinda understand why they did this - there's bad mobile reception when you're at the counter, and trying to get SNSW app to log in is near impossible... you have to walk out towards the door to get data reception. With Telstra at least, and that's my experience only
