[14:02] schestowitz[TR][14:02] schestowitz[TR]Lucky for you this month, weve got a nice selection of Raspberry Pi projects to inspire your inner maker. From revitalizing old hardware to magic wands, theres plenty to get psyched about. These are some of the best projects weve come across over the last month and were delighted to share them with you again for the extra attention they deserve.
[14:02] schestowitz[TR]These makers use the best Raspberry Pi accessories and HATs to bring their crazy imaginative ideas to fruition. If youre looking for something fun to explore this spring, these projects are sure to get you going. So grab your Pi and heat up that soldering iron, its time to delve into these wonderful creations.

[14:08] schestowitz[TR][14:08] schestowitz[TR]Let me introduce yet another player in this game. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD). (And no, its not national really).
[14:08] schestowitz[TR]NVD hosts a database of vulnerabilities. All CVEs that are submitted to MITRE are sucked in into NVDs database. NVD says it performs analysis on CVEs that have been published to the CVE Dictionary.
[14:08] schestowitz[TR]That last sentence is probably important.
[14:08] schestowitz[TR]NVD imports CVEs into their database and they in turn offer other databases to import vulnerabilities from them. One large and known user of the NVD database is this I mentioned in a recent blog post: GitHub Security Advisory Database (GHSA DB) .

[14:11] schestowitz[TR][14:11] schestowitz[TR]The Titan is designed to be a heavy player. My machine, with some extra custom changes, rakes in 32 GB of DDR4 memory, two M.2 1TB Samsung NVMe drives, powered by a Ryzen 9 5900HX, 8-core, 16-thread 3.3GHz processor. The CPU has its own built-in graphics unit, but the real deal is the Nvidia RTX 3070 8GB card, which should give me all the goodies I need for serious work and gaming. After al [14:11] schestowitz[TR] l, one of my primary goals is to be able to fully switch away from Windows. To that end, I need Linux to support all of my sweet gaming titles.
[14:11] schestowitz[TR]Ports wise, you get a lot. To wit, standard HDMI (2.1), three USB ports (3.2), one USB Type-C port, which also doubles as Display Port, Ethernet port, 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks, and an SD card read, normal size.

[14:15] schestowitz[TR][14:15] schestowitz[TR]As discussed before, South Koreas banking websites demand installation of various so-called security applications. At the same time, weve seen that these applications like TouchEn nxKey and IPinside lack auto-update functionality. So even in case of security issues, it is almost impossible to deliver updates to users timely.
[14:15] schestowitz[TR]And thats only two applications. Koreas banking websites typically expect around five applications, and it will be different applications for different websites. Thats a lot of applications to install and to keep up-to-date.

[14:18] schestowitz[TR][14:18] schestowitz[TR]The surge in Facebook activity is rooted in a new feature from Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram. Last year, Meta introduced a prompt that popped up on Instagram when people posted a photo or story. The prompt asked Instagram users if they wanted to share their post to Facebook, too.
[14:18] schestowitz[TR]To make the prompt go away, users had to click a big blue button to agree to share their Instagram posts on Facebook, or a smaller hyperlink to opt out. Many people, including Ms. Underwood, clicked the more visible blue button and then immediately forgot about it, according to interviews with more than a dozen Gen Z and millennial Instagram users. Reversing the setting requires [14:18] schestowitz[TR] clicking through multiple Instagram menus.

Faced with an ongoing winter drought that could lead to water restrictions this summer, FRANCE 24 looks at the different ways the country consumes water.

[14:26] schestowitz[TR][14:26] schestowitz[TR]Bill C-18, the Online News Act, has been at the centre of growing firestorm in Canada following reports that Google has begun testing the removal of links to Canadian news services for a small percentage of its users. The issue is headed to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage later today with MPs likely to take turns berating Google executives. If youre just catching up or dont unders [14:26] schestowitz[TR] tand what the fuss is about, this Law Bytes podcast is for you. While the government tries to spin the bill as a big win for media of all sizes without concerns for the Internet, the reality is far different. But you dont have to take my word for it. This podcast episode features clips of what Ministers, MPs, Senators, and government officials have already said at committee or in the Senate about the bill.

[14:26] schestowitz[TR][14:26] schestowitz[TR]A law requiring employers to audit hiring algorithms for bias in NYC, among the first of its kind in the country, has already been watered down from its original iteration, and some advocates who pushed for the law are worried that the law will be further diluted by business interests.

[14:29] schestowitz[TR][14:29] schestowitz[TR]The European Union spent much of last year devising ways to protect its media sphere from Russian interference. In Latvia, the measures were sweeping. The country banned the broadcast of some eighty television channels that were registered in Russia, and police cracked down on a black market for satellite receivers that were used to circumvent the restrictions. It was in this context that T [14:29] schestowitz[TR] V Rain arrived in Riga: it was welcomed as an antidote to the Kremlins propaganda, but it also encountered a distrustful public and a new set of laws and regulations that were enforced with existential urgency.

[14:35] schestowitz[TR][14:35] schestowitz[TR]On March 7, 2003, a struggling company called The SCO Group filed a lawsuit against IBM, claiming that the success of Linux was the result of a theft of SCO's technology. Two decades later, it is easy to look back on that incident as a somewhat humorous side-story in the development of Linux. At the time, though, it shook our community to its foundations. It is hard to overestimate [14:35] schestowitz[TR] how much the community we find ourselves in now was shaped by a ridiculous lawsuit 20 years ago.
