  • It seems pretty obvious to me at this point that the DNC would rather lose than have an actual progressive win.

    It’s not in their interests to let a progressive win. Just like their counterpart, the DNC takes a shit ton of bribery donations from corporations lobbyists. Bringing in a progressive who would reform the system or push back against pro-corporate policies is biting the hands that feed them.

    The system is set up in a way that the only viable options are between two evils, unfortunately. Under a FPTP system where the only good options are minority parties that won’t win a single seat in their districts, you’re left with the choice of voting for the lesser evil, or voting for your morals but increasing the risk of the greater evil winning.

    It’s a no-win situation.



  • I looked at the more detailed specs, and here we have:

    3 x audio jacks

    2/4/5.1/7.1-channel

    • You can change the functionality of an audio jack using the audio software. To configure 7.1-channel audio, access the audio software for audio settings.

    If using 2-pole aux jacks, those 3 back panel female connectors only provide 6 independent channels. If the case has a front panel connector, you can push that to 8 channels.

    The only way you’re squeezing 7.1 analog out of that is if you use the front panel as LR, use two of the three back panel ones as surround, and share center with the sub between the last remaining connector. But, that’s assuming that two of those back connectors aren’t for mic or line in.

    Maybe you could squeeze digital output through those jacks, but then you’d need a compatible receiver. Either way, stupid design for such an expensive motherboard.

    who is going to put a ryzen apu in a topend mobo??

    The Ryzen 9 7950X has integrated graphics, but if someone is willing to dump that much on a processor, they’re probably buying a GPU with it.

    The problem is that they’re trying to frame it as a better replacement for sudo when it’s really not.

    In some respects, it’s safer by not using a setuid binary. In other respects, it massively increases the surface area by relying on the correctness of three separate daemons: systemd, dbus, and polkitd. If any one of those components are misconfigured, you risk an unauthorized user gaining root privileges.

    With sudo, the main concern is the sudo process being exploited through memory safety bugs since it runs at root automatically.

    Don’t get me wrong, sudo has a lot of stupid decisions and problems. There’s a ton of code in sudo for features that almost nobody uses, and there’s bound to be bugs in there somewhere. It needs to be replaced with something simpler, but run0 is not that.
