The image is a black and white photograph depicting a person standing inside a barred metal structure. The person appears to be wearing a long, dark coat and a light-colored head covering. Their hands are clasped in front of them. Behind the person, there is another metal structure with bars. There is text overlaid on the image that reads "Se vienen cositas" and "Reforma laboral 2.0". The background is out of focus and appears to be a darkened space.

REPORT | Leaked Israeli Finance Ministry documents reveal that Google and Amazon secretly agreed to extraordinary terms sidestepping their own “terms of service” in Israel’s $1.2 billion Project Nimbus deal, according to +972, Local Call, and The Guardian. To secure the contract, the companies accepted two specific Israeli demands — to remove all usage restrictions, and to alert it, including through coded “wink” payments, if foreign courts seek access to its data. The seven-year deal gives Israel unrestricted use of AI and cloud tools, employed during its genocide in Gaza, barring Google or Amazon from cutting service even if Israel violates human-rights laws. Legal experts say the covert “winking mechanism” could breach U.S. law and shows how both firms ceded oversight for profit. (Linked below)

The image is a black and white drawing of a person sitting at a desk. The person is leaning forward with their hands on the desk, and their head tilted down. They have short, spiky hair and are wearing a shirt with a dark collar. A laptop sits on the desk in front of them, and to the right of the laptop there is a small, round object. There is text on the right side of the image that reads: "Ideas". The background is a simple gray.

The image shows a close-up shot of a white toilet with a closed lid in a bathroom setting. On the wall to the left of the toilet, there is a white dispenser holding rolls of toilet paper and a bottle of cleaning fluid labeled "SYPHON - JAVEL." A white sign with a red circle containing a stylized "no" symbol is affixed to the wall above the toilet. The background is blurred, suggesting a shallow depth of field, and seems to show a portion of a wall or possibly a shower curtain. The lighting appears to be diffused and even.

Sony WF-C510 connected on Linux, but never recognized as a headset
I've been fighting with my Sony WF-C510 for days.
I've tried it on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint. Same result every time: It connects successfully, but never shows up as an audio output device.
I even bought a USB Bluetooth dongle, thinking my laptop’s chipset was the problem... but nope. It still connects as a device, not a headset.
I’ve restarted Bluetooth services, switched from PulseAudio to PipeWire, and tried every "set-card-profile" trick from AI and forums, but nothing works.
Has anyone actually managed to get a Sony WF-C510 working properly on Linux?
It's clear this is purely Sony's fault for not caring about or supporting Linux drivers. Are they just ignoring the entire platform at this point?
Any workaround or success story would save my sanity.

Linux creator Linus Torvalds isn't happy with Nvidia. And he wants you to know it.
Late last week, at a hacker meetup in Finland, Torvalds laid into Nvidia, calling it "the single worst company" the Linux developer community has ever dealt with, complaining that the chipmaker doesn't do as much as it could to ensure that its hardware plays nicely with his open source operating system. He even turned to the camera filming the event, flipped the company the proverbial bird, and dropped the proverbial F bomb.

This is beyond parody: the EU has come up with a "cloud sovereignty framework" to make EU tech more sovereign and they've notably devised a "sovereignty score" to determine whether a particular cloud provider is sovereign or not (which will then determine if they get government contracts).
So far so good.
The problem however is that the way this sovereignty score gets calculated actually gives HIGHER scores to AWS, Microsoft, and Google than to European cloud providers.
This is because the formula to calculate the score (full details here: commission.europa.eu/document/…) absurdly allocates only 10% weight to "legal & jurisdictional sovereignty" (i.e., being actually a sovereign EU actor), while giving 65% combined weight to operational capabilities, supply chain documentation, and technical standards - precisely the areas where AWS/Azure/Google's massive scale gives them advantages over European providers. You can be completely subject to foreign legal jurisdiction but still score excellent overall.
EU cloud companies suspect this is intentional: the framework gives the EU bureaucratic cover to keep their existing contracts with US companies ("look, they got an excellent sovereignty score!") rather than forcing the politically difficult work of actually migrating to European infrastructure.
A sovereignty framework that prevents sovereignty, that's the EU for you...

Ich hatte ja gestern das Vergnügen, ein refurbished Yoga Thinkpad mit einem #Debian #Linux zu verwöhnen.
Schnelle Installation, ein bisserl Treiberfu und ein vergnügliches Einrichten (Browseraddons, Passwort-Manager...)
Am selben Rechner ist auch Win11 drauf. Das durfte ich auch auf letzten Stand bringen.
Abgesehen von der endlosen Upgrade-Orgie und dem schnarchlangsamen Bootprozess von Windows fiel mir aber etwas anderes, sehr bemerkenswertes auf, das ich berichtenswürdig finde.
Nimmt man ein nigelnagelneues Win11 her,öffnet den Browser Edge oder klickt links unten hin, wo bisher der Windowsbutton war (Gewohnheit) tun sich arge Dinge auf. Putin, Trump, Xi schauen da raus. Eine arme AfD-Influenzerin wird beweint, und alles löst nur Stress und Angst aus. Ein Wirbel aus Scheiße und anderer Scheiße schlägt einem entgegen.
Und schon klickst du drauf... vor Klickbait ist keiner gefeit... und die Scheiße wird mehr.
Bei der Suchleiste in der Mitte prangt gleich irgrnd ein Hinweis auf irgend ein Spiel. Dass daneben die Systemsuche ist, geht sogar unter.
Machst du die Systemsteuerung auf, Nudging, dass mit einem MS-Konto alles viel besser klappt und superer ist.
Nudging für ein One-Drive.
Nach 10 Minuten war ich fertig. Mit den Nerven.
Und ich kam zur Erkenntnis: würden mehr Leute Linux nutzen, wäre die Welt ein besserer Ort. Rein wegen der nicht verbreiteten Scheiße in einer Linux Standardinstallation.
Windows? Ich habe fertig.
(Wieder einmal. Ich schätze mich wirklich glücklich, seit vielen Jahren nur mehr Linux am Desktop zu haben!)

Meine Sis hat vor vielen Jahren einmal ein refurbished Thinkpad gekauft, wo kurz nach dem Ablauf der Garantie das Gerät sich nicht mehr laden ließ... tot.
Das ist wohl unter Pech einzureihen.
Meine Frau hat von mir vor ein paar Wochen ein refurbished Pixel Phone bekommen, wo leider der Lautsprecher zum telefonieren am Ohr kaputt war. Das ist gerade am Weg zur Reparatur auf Garantie.
Das alte Phone war auch von refurbished.at und musste ersetzt werden, weil es kein aktuelles /e/ mehr dafür gibt. Es gibt zwar noch Patches für das Android, aber in den Appstores sind einige Apps dafür, die sie oft nutzt, nicht mehr verfügbar für diese alte Android-Version. Und ein aktuelles Android gibts für diese Hardware nicht mehr. Daher ersetzen wir das Phone auch gerade. Ansonsten wäre es noch weiter einsatzbereit.
Ich selbst hab seit einem Jahr ein refurbished Pixel Phone im Einsatz. Das ist tiptop.
Ich werde auf jeden Fall aus Gründen der Nachhaltigkeit weiter meine Geräte von refurbished.at beziehen.
falls ihr zum reparierten Pixel Zusatzinfos bekommt, was genau defekt war bzw gemacht wurde um den Fehler zu beheben, wäre ich sehr interessiert daran die Infos auch zu bekommen 😀
Hab nämlich auf meinem Pixel (7 Pro) momentan auch einen defekten Ear-Piece Speaker, bin aber nicht sicher, ob der ganze Speaker ausgetauscht oder nur ein Kontakt neu gelötet werden muss. Der Speaker ist da drin echt vergraben, deshalb hätt ich gern mehr Infos bevor ich es eventuell wieder mal öffne 😅
