Chris@feddit.ukto Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•What makes a country real/not real?English1·2 days agoI don’t know if the rest of that series is available, but there you go.
“If” doing quite a bit of the heavy lifting in that sentence.
Happy birthday!

Chris@feddit.ukMto Daily Bunnies@lemmings.world•Daily bunny no.3003 is going for a rideEnglish2·3 days agoAt first glance I thought they were McDonald’s bags, but actually the M has two dots underneath - it’s bunny ears and eyes! How cute.

Chris@feddit.ukto Technology@programming.dev•Some Brother printers have a remote code execution vulnerability, and they can’t fix itEnglish15·7 days agoThe most serious of the findings is the authentication bypass CVE-2024-51978. A remote unauthenticated attacker can leak the target device’s serial number through one of several means, and in turn generate the target device’s default administrator password. This is due to the discovery of the default password generation procedure used by Brother devices. This procedure transforms a serial number into a default password. Affected devices have their default password set, based on each device’s unique serial number, during the manufacturing process. Brother has indicated that this vulnerability cannot be fully remediated in firmware, and has required a change to the manufacturing process of all affected models.
So the fix for this “can’t be fixed” issue is to change the default password yourself, which you should be doing anyway.

Chris@feddit.ukto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the pound was named because 240 Sterlings (pennies) weighed a pound.English12·7 days agoNo, because the £ didn’t change, it was just divided up differently.
A pre-decimal £ is the same as a decimal £.
You could technically still pay in Shillings until they redesigned the 5p.

I’ve just given this a quick try in Windows (sorry, didn’t want to infect Linux with MS stuff) and… it’s pretty good.
I might install it in Linux although I’ll probably still use nano.
Chris@feddit.ukto Technology@lemmy.world•I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong AmountEnglish29·18 days agoIt’s like that Trump watch with the T missing. “I was expecting something with the integrity of the President”. Yeah, you got that.
