SuperSpruce, in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

Why? Win+C launches Copilot already, if you want to use it. It’s simple enough currently, why change it? This will just make everything worse.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Why? Investment hype

Swaziboy,

Bingo

Awesome Keyboard with AI Support *

  • On supported Operating Systems **

** With separate subscription.

cyberpunk007,

I can’t wait to no longer find a keyboard without this key.

possiblylinux127,

You can always use those keyboards from the 2000’s

dubyakay,

Welcome to the custom mechanical keyboard scene.

erwan,

I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to find keyboards with a different icon that the ugly copilot, and then you can map it to whatever you want.

Thermal_shocked,

Like the shitty bixby button on phones.

Technus,

In the five years of owning this phone, I have never once pressed that button on purpose. I press it on accident at least once a week.

Thermal_shocked,

5 years… do you have the S9? cause im exactly the same, never intentionally used it. ever.

Technus,

lol yep, S9.

Thermal_shocked,

Using it til it dies. Love this phone.

I have the s10+ and it’s actually useful, as you can remap the double click on that button to open any app you like. But yeah single click, never happened intentionally.

EDIT: F yeah, I just checked the settings and you can decide if you want bixby activation on single or double-click. Now I’ve set bixby to double click and on single-click it opens my password manager. If you don’t select anything, it will do nothing on a single click.

The setting is under “Advanced Features” -> “Bixby Key” for me.

someacnt_,

This requires logging in to bixby for me.

because most people are unaware of keybindings and when they inevitable tap on the new dedicated key they’ll probably be shown a subscription screen for Copilot Premium or whatever they call it.

IMO it’s a very disgusting and intrusive way of fishing subscriptions to the AI thing they’ve invested so much money on.

Good thing my server still runs Jessie!

Tori. Play music in your terminal. Built in rust and has great performance, and low trace on memory impact.

Something similar happened to me once and installing tumblerd fixed it.

Desktop/Laptop: Ncmpcpp + mopidy-mpd + jellyfin-plugin

Mobile: Finamp

Homeserver: Jellyfin

With this setup I’m able to manage and play my playlists on every device.

Sims, in What are your opinions of Guix?

I absolutely love it, and I’m never going back to an ordinary distribution again. I do fine regarding software. I use standard channels, non-free channel, flatpaks and a few appimages. I can’t think of anything i’m missing atmo…

I just use Navidrome’s web client. It does everything I need. DSub on Android.

joeldebruijn, in Debian Bookworm and Bullseye Users Receive Important Linux Security Updates

I had a security download (but not yet installed) ready yesterday. Logged off without installing. Turned on my device today and couldnt log in. Checked my pwd 3 times before seeing "authentication service not working " iirc.

After reboot it installed and logging in worked.

Is this related or not and is it expected? Not being able to log in without a mandatory patch first so to say?

DaPorkchop_,

no that just sounds like a bug

cyberpunk007, in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

It’s already bad enough that windows 11 has a bing AI button on the top left AND top right corners of the start menu. Like wtf

stoy, in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

I am getting flashbacks to the multimedia keyboards on yesteryear:

Thanks MS, but no thanks, I don’t need it.

For real though, I loved those. That wireless Logitech one with the volume dial lasted me a decade.

AwkwardTurtle,

My mom had one, I absolutely loved using that thing when I did

I love these, it has actual useful keys

stoy,

I will admit that the volume wheel was awesome

NOOBMASTER,

yeah, the media controls are actually useful.

Deckweiss, (edited ) in How do I see what pid/process has modified a linux routing table?

The better solution:

sudo apt-get install auditd

Set up watch: sudo auditctl -w /path/to/your/file -p wa -k file_change_monitor

Check log: sudo ausearch -k file_change_monitor


Alternative solution:

If you know the file that is being edited you can set up watches with inotifywait and log it to a file. This may possibly not work because lsof might not be quick enough.

sudo apt-get install inotify-tools

then put this script in autostart


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">FILE_TO_MONITOR="/path/to/your/file"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">LOG_FILE="/path/to/logfile.txt"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">inotifywait -m -e modify,move,create,delete --format '%w %e %T' --timefmt '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' "$FILE_TO_MONITOR" |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">while read path action time; do
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    # Get the PID of the process that last modified the file
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    PID=$(lsof -t "$FILE_TO_MONITOR" 2>/dev/null)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    # Get the process name using the PID
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    PROCESS_NAME=$(ps -p $PID -o comm= 2>/dev/null)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    # Log details to the file
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    echo "$time: File $path was $action by PID $PID ($PROCESS_NAME)" >> "$LOG_FILE"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">done
</span>

Don’t forget to modify the values at the top of the script and make it executable.

mikey,

They aren’t asking about changes to a file describing the routing config, rather the actual in-use routing config. Unless the routing rules are modified through a couple of files (which I doubt), this doesn’t answer the question.

Cool commands though.

Deckweiss,

My bad, I thought in Linux everything is a file

mikey, (edited )

Well, the routes might manifest somewhere as files, but I don’t expect anyone to be able to viably parse them without commands like ip or ifconfig (or know where the files even are).

Some devices (like disks for example) are very straightforward to use as files, while some other special files (like USB devices) are so weird/ugly to use that everyone uses tools/libraries to access them (like libusb).

This is very off-topic, but there’s a great talk by Benno Rice that talks about this (among many others): youtu.be/9-IWMbJXoLM

Deckweiss,

Thank you for the info and I’ll listen to that talk

bizdelnick, in How do I see what pid/process has modified a linux routing table?

I guess it can be NetworkManager if it is used to configure the interface but the route is added manually.
