Anyone else have Windows 10 touchpad issues recently? Mine just lost all sensitivity for a few days, went back to normal for about a day, and now is back to low sensitivity.
@bwDraco the three x16 slot thing on Micro ATX is a big reason I've long been tempted to go to an enthusiast platform (mainly Intel, though now AMD is in the running). the most x16 slots I've seen in a standard board like a Z370M is two (with one or two extra x1 slots, ugh)
@Bob true that, but I'm not a fan of risers... and even with my current hardware I can't use a board without at least one x16 (slot width) and one x8 or wider slot
and I might want some more x4 or x8 cards in the future for I/O
@allquixotic ya, my board is... I think it's two x16 (in x8 config if both used), three x1 and one x16 (in x4 config, or x2 config if the 3rd x1 is used)
@bwDraco That's actually a really scary thought. That Norton is listening to which sites you're visiting. Which, in a HTTPS world, implies either digging into browser memory or HTTPS interception. Which is a HUUUUUUUUUGE !!NO
@Bob I'll know in 7 days, since I've been routinely experiencing the packet loss 7 days after the last reboot
if it doesn't fix my packet loss then I'd like to know what exact sort of system stability they think they're improving if it isn't, yanno, fixing a device-breaking bug
@Bob to be fair, local TLS interception, analysis, and re-signing of sites with a locally generated CA is reasonably common in modern virus products. They do it in Bitdefender and it's on by default (until I turn it off)
oh and I think Bitdefender was allowing one of my sites as apparently a valid https domain (it was resigning it with a valid cert) despite the site having an objectively invalid (per Mozilla/Microsoft/Apple/Google) StartSSL cert with SHAAAAAAAA weakness (or maybe it was after they killed StartSSL)
not being updated in millenia (so, bye bye client-side BEAST mitigations etc)
not being updated in millenia (I'm sure lots still don't support SCSV, and/or still support SSL 3.0, and probably still support the even more broken SSL 2.0)
antivirus HTTPS interception is an utter joke and do more damage to your security and privacy than lack of antivirus will in the vast, vast majority of cases
@Bob On the other hand, isn't it fairly sane if, rather than your AV vendor, your browser would do some kind of validation (on the page? on the domain? on the content?) for maliciousness after successfully establishing the tunnel and transferring the data but before rendering? (kinda like what an adblocker does, but designed to prevent attacks)
@JourneymanGeek email is an interesting exception, since it's push (you can get mail from all kinds of untrusted sources) and many local clients have more bugs and less testing/updates than browsers
Norton initially did not detect this, but several days after submitting the malware sample to Symantec, a full system scan identified and quarantined the rogue JS file from within the ZIP file.
If you download a .PDF and open it, in an actually PDF program, it can get pretty bad. The browser pdf functionality amounts too "display page content, anything that isn't a text or image, .."
Respects the page orientation but yeah
Microsoft/Mozilla/Google isn't spending their time making PDF viewing better in 2018. you want that you got a huge sample size of PDF programs
I don't think they even do bugfix patches, only security
(though large crash bugs might be an exception?)
@Ramhound eh... I used to use that, and tab mix plus, but somewhere along the line (starting in 10-something, much improved in 40-something?) I switched to the native session restore
is there anything in particular you need from it? multiple sessions?
@TroubleMakerChatBroom I've had some pretty positive experiences with RHEL7 in pure server (headless) deployments, like running Bitbucket/Git server, Confluence, and a few other things on it. Like no major problems, and I was able to easily configure it to my needs... That said, I'm kinda eagerly awaiting RHEL8
I realize that extensions.legacy.enabled = true is not a supported configuration for Firefox 57, and legacy extensions can break without warning in future updates. I seriously need to see an update for Greasemonkey soon.
@allquixotic So for so good for me with CentOS 7 but haven't messed with RHEL 7 but heard it's basically the same. I'm not doing any sophisticated mainframe or Xspice stuff either tho. Still learning Linux but I like it...
@Ramhound is it only when a million seconds have elapsed, or when the difference between the start time and the present date is a million seconds? if the latter, do a clock discontinuity by setting the system clock forward by a bunch of days, stopping just a minute or so before the million second mark
try it... if it's reproducible with the clock discontinuity at exactly a million seconds then you can include that in the bug report and use that to further diagnose
We assume the problem is Xspiceat this point, we also have a connection to the mainframe, so it could also be that particular module is the problem. But if we reconnect Xpsice connection daily it never disconnects so that's unlikely.
I appreciate the suggestion though
The problem is the Windows client is extremely locked down in the real environment, and group policy would break + other stuff, if I actually forced it on the real system
It appears to be in the server module. There is a comment and I kid you know, mention the million seconds, and it has a question mark at the end of the comment.
"I know that it is better for security to generate SSL certs on a separate machine, and not on the web server." — there's a bit of an implied "so I set up this epically insecure rube goldberg machine to do it instead"

Don't know pricing for the 4TB model yet (@allq). I hope it's better this time around.
Fourth-generation Samsung 3D NAND, new controller and LPDDR4 memory for lower power consumption, higher endurance ratings. Looks like a natural evolution.
There's also a 860 PRO coming, which (presumably) will use 64-layer (2-bit) 3D MLC NAND rather than TLC along with the improved controller, for even higher endurance ratings.
