This is why every new computer I buy, the very first thing I do before I even turn on the machine, is take the hard drive out and replace it with a bigger blank one. I put the original in a anti-static bag and it goes back in the box. Should I ever have to return it, it’s like it was never powered on.
However, I think companies are on to that strategy. I find laptops and tablets with interchangeable drive bays harder and harder to find. I don’t want to strip the OS, I want to save it and start fresh, after all, I payed for it. If I cannot extract the hard drive, I won’t buy the computer.
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered what they are calling the ‘mother of all breaches.’
They discovered a massive collection of 30 databases containing more than 16 billion individual records, including passwords, for government accounts, Apple, Google, Facebook, Telegram and more websites.
Nobody will read it
Same way like the 250308 ISO boot problem.
Many users don’t read or search (forum or Web).
And the fix is, use live ISO and chroot.
Hey Hey, I would read it. haha But vary true.
Looking things up seems to be a dying practice. I don’t get why either. looking for a wiki/Manuel or looking for some post on the topic is my first step.
But I’ll add the solution to the news post for those that skim read.
well, shoot. i know there will be a bunch of help posts on trying to get the new version running. i may indeed be one myself due to wayland not working on atleast one of my systems.
To be clear, this is not a new data breach, or a breach at all, and the websites involved were not recently compromised to steal these credentials.
Instead, these stolen credentials were likely circulating for some time, if not for years. It was then collected by a cybersecurity firm, researchers, or threat actors and repackaged into a database that was exposed on the Internet.
I was rather impressed that this package was available in the AUR on day one. Hopefully a good sign for the project’s future (not a fan of Wayland on KDE).
In my view I’d rather have a choice than being railroaded into Wayland because it suits Red Hat. I’m hoping Xlibre will be the default in the Xfce version of Garuda when it is deemed stable.
