I'm confused about how this can actually do any damage when it comes to filling in passwords. If the password manager is suggesting to fill a password then it means you're on the site that password is valid for.

I find it far more likely that patches--in terms of fixing problems with small, targeted changes--derives from the use of the term for fixing holes in cloth by sewing on another piece of cloth.
Thanks. It means a lot. Today has not been a good day for me. It will be fixed. Things will get better, but this has to rank up there in terms of the worst ways to find out about security issues. It sucks lol.
I saw you touching grass, so I hope that's at least helping you get through the day <3

Not mentioned about WoW in here is that they considered the notch enough to also have an option to have the UI avoid the notch. It calls a function in C_UI to get the safe region, and then resizes UIParent to fit within that region while still rendering the game up to the true top of the display.

Printers using CMYK isn't strictly true, right? Aren't you able to choose the ink colors when getting prints professionally made?

I see they have the exact same frustration with the results of trying to research how to safely work on a PSU as I've had. I know there's plenty of info out there about working on CRTs; are the caps in PSUs really more dangerous than that?

Do you mean physically? The behavior surely sounds compulsive...
It might come across that way, but the way hydration is talked about on social media makes that level of fear a completely reasonable response.

In my Windows, it wouldn't be a problem. The firewall I use would pop up for any new program that tries to connect somewhere.
But Linux doesn't have a per-program firewall.
... and even if it did, there's no way to do popups/questions from the kernel,
... and even if there was, most programs would just run curl or wget or openssl. That would mean a popup for each and every connection attempt through those programs.
Windows does certain security things better than Linux OSes, which makes it such a shame that Microsoft keeps shipping more and more stuff with Windows that undermines all that work.

Of course then you ask her to write it and of course things get fixed. But strange.
I hate to break it to you but I think your child might actually have gotten swapped in the hospital with an LLM.
