  1. From the article:

    -----
    Investigators later subpoenaed ngrok and found the account used in the attack had been created on May 12, 2025, at 19:21 UTC from a VPN proxy IP address run by Tzulo, a hosting provider. The IP was a dead end. VPN proxies do that. But the GDID is built different.

    Microsoft’s records showed that at that exact same minute, a Windows device carrying GDID g:6755467234350028 had visited the ngrok signup page. Three hours later, the same GDID visited the retailer’s own website, through the same Tzulo proxy address used to set up the ngrok account. It gave the FBI a device, that don’t rotate the way VPN exit nodes do.

    Linux time now.

  2. Here's deets on how Windows 11 has unique tracking codes specifically for tracking what you do and where you are at all times:

    windowslatest.com/2026/07/10/y

    ...and how they're happy to share that with the cops and help them ID individual computers and their users, cross-referencing external with their internal log of _all actions taken by the user_.

    Next reply for two critical paragraphs from the story showing how much they're tracking and storing.

  3. WAN show / Linus Tech Tips: move off Windows to Linux now, like seriously, right the fuck now.

    youtube.com/watch?v=L8-5CSAaViY

    It's a long video but it's the lead topic. And while LTT (and particularly the WAN show) are still very much tech media, it's the kind of tech media that shows up on The Tonight Show. So when it hits here, it's likely to go mainstream soon.

    Second link (to the text-form surveillance story they're talking about) will be in the next reply.

  4. Heute Derniere von "Die Töchter der Orestie" von Maxi Obexer - nach der Orestie des Aischylos, 458 v.Chr. - noch bis 19:25 gibt es letzte Karten! #Landestheater #Tübingen #LTT #Theater #Orest

  5. Remember when GNOME disabled middle mouse paste? :P I'm also happy that it doesnt exist anymore on my desktop.

  6. Четвёртая часть Linux Challenge у LTT закончилась достаточно неожиданно.

    Учитывая то, кто и с какими юзкейсами в нём участвовал, я ожидал, что в лучшем случае Люк оставит себе дуалбут.

    От всего Linux сообщества выражаю глубокую благодарность Microsoft за вклад в популяризацию свободной ОС 🫡

  8. Today's issue of Local Transport Today has some comments from me, in the item about the DfT's Local Transport Infrastructure Carbon Benchmarking Tool (LTICBT).

    Online at transportxtra.com/publications (£)

    Or if you have the PDF, it's on page 20 .

  9. Won't be short of bedtime or bathtime reading this weekend.

    DfT has published its latest Appraisal, Modelling and Evaluation Strategy, a set of research reports, and the 'live' TAG updates. There's a lot more than what's in the photo!

    Plus the latest LTT out today.... and some interesting American research to catch up on if that's not enough...

  10. @ct_3003_team Und ich dachte, ich bin patschert, als ich das amal installieren musste.. Scheinbar ist das so "by design"...

    Ich bin scheinbar echt von #KDE verwöhnt... Scheinbar bin ich auch nicht der einzige, der so denkt (wie #LinusTechTips #LTT letztens gezeigt hat)

  11. I think this #Linus/#LTT video makes it very clear this thing I've always thought about #Linux - Linux has been for a while now, extremely ready for Developers and Tinkerers. Ready doesn't mean trouble-free, nope, but usable AND pleasant to use (a big productivity boost even in my case) - but will encounter issues that these groups of people will be able to solve, or, work around them with relative ease.

    For
    normies though, nah, it's def not ready to varying extents depending on who you are. This doesn't mean that they couldn't use Linux, cos it is indeed still usable and pleasant to use for ~90% of use cases - but they will most def encounter issues they absolutely would not be able to solve on their own, and we know how not a small number of people in the Linux user community are useless or even harmful and shouldn't be relied on for help (for these normies).

    For normies that still wish to use Linux, they def can but it's def highly recommended for them to only do so if they have someone (IRL) they can rely on for help - like any friends or fam members who are already using Linux, no different than when you're growing up and using
    #Windows/#macOS for the first time. Also, thanks to #Microsoft, the incentive to ditch Windows for something like Linux has been steadily growing and may even make the learning pains of using/experimenting with Linux more acceptable and worth it, compared to staying on a sinking ship that is Windows.

    These people however may also opt for macOS, tho I think the biggest blocker for
    #Apple from gaining market share in this space is the fact that their OS is locked to their hardware, and their hardware - as amazing as they are, are incredibly locked down and not upgradable/serviceable. Anyway, someday we may see the day where Linux is ~99-100% ready for normies, but today is def not the day. Videos like LTT's and maybe others too are good sources on why that is the case, to us who may already be too familiar with Linux to 'have the eyes' to see these issues. It's also why I started documenting my Linux Wiki in the first place, when I migrated away from Windows - as a reminder on the issues I stumble upon, and how I solved them.

  12. I'm watching the latest #LTT video and this Lawn Mower comes with a SIM Card to do... Positioning?

    Why?

    You can get really fucking accurate with like, GPS.

  13. A couple of months ago, Linus Media Group got in contact, asking me to review its range of screwdrivers. After many weeks of testing (fixing two PCs, 3D printer and some shelves), my review of the #LTT screwdrivers is now live!

  14. Смотрю вырезку с WAN Show у LTT где они обсуждают как у них там идёт/прошёл второй Linux Challenge.

    Do you really need to play this game?

    Всё, эти тоже заразились, несите следующих 🤣

  15. Funny… #LTT is discussing #Linux gaming and usage in general and why people are not wanting to switch to it…

    I have tried to convince a friend to switch to Linux. His first question was “but things don’t work on it, do they?”. The perception is nothing works on it…😂

    He’s mostly using browser.

  16. Linus buying a literal private jet, while his employees are leaving due to lack of pay is some peak disconnected from reality shit

  17. Goddamn, this is the best response to a bigot I've seen yet, and it's from #LTT/#LMG #Linus lol.

  18. Linux Türkiye Topluluğu Eskişehir olarak yine klasik bir “toplanalım iki muhabbet edelim” diyerek başladığımız gün, kendimizi yapay zekanın meslekleri nasıl dönüştüreceğini tartışırken bulduk.

    Bir gün yolunuz düşerse, bir çayımızı içmeye bekleriz.

  19. The latest #LTT #Linux challenge exemplifies that Linus is indeed cursed, but not for his choice in distribution and the nature of technical issues that ensue, but cursed with half a brain causing the worst possible judgement calls imaginable for this sort of thing:

    • goes with listicles again
    • asks ChatGPT :drgn_flat_x_x:
    • chooses Pop!_OS again after it came out on top on listicles and ChatGPT told him so
    • Steam and games break for inexplicable reasons, audio issues, Cosmic glitches out
    • does it all while at a LAN party, where people wait on him to sort his shit out

    Meanwhile Luke and Eliah have such a smoother experience (albeit, after some hiccups) because they:

    • chose the more sensible approach of either going with something they already have experience with (Luke, CachyOS)
    • chose something that has a reputation of being first-time user-friendly (Eliah, Bazzite)
    • do it in an environment that allows for trouble shooting without pressure

    I know, one shouldn't expect anything from a tech entertainment channel, but I find it notable that everyone besides Linus is so much better cut out to do the job than their boss. And this is one of the tech channels with one of the bigger audiences.

    I can only hope it shows people how NOT to approach this.

  20. To be clear, I'm not annoyed at LTT/Linus for not understanding certain things about Linux. That's fine. I'm annoyed that he used an LLM to pick a bad distro that any proper web search would've indicated is a bad idea, decided to install an unfamiliar operating system at a fuckin LAN party, then pitched a tantrum calling Linux gamers snowflakes because it didn't immediately work. I'm sorry, but that's rude as fuck. :wlfWhat:​ Any OS you install is going to need some time to troubleshoot after you install it, you're just more used to troubleshooting Windows. Don't install an OS you're not used to then insult the community of that OS because you didn't give yourself time to do any research or any time to troubleshoot it.

    Like, ugh. I'm so tired of Windows users insulting Linux users because Linux isn't Windows.
