Ubuntu Core Desktop's Debut Has Been Pushed Back Indefinitely! | Technado Ep. 347

This week on Technado, the team is feeling the love: Happy Valentine’s Day! In Linux news, Ubuntu Core Desktop’s debut has been pushed back indefinitely. Then, Broadcom is ending support for their free ESXi Vmware Hypervisor effective immediately, and old systems won’t be able to update to newer versions of Windows due to an arcane CPU instruction (don’t worry, it’s not what it sounds like).

After a quick break and a moment of silent for our fallen bird friend, Authy is shutting down its desktop app, forcing movement to the mobile version or a different provider altogether. In the return of the Pork Chop Sandwiches segment, BitLocker’s encryption was broken in 43 seconds…with a device that took MUCH longer to create. And finally, Fortinet got PWNED yet again – this time, with a flaw in SSL VPN that’s likely already being exploited.

  • With respect to lock picking lawyer racking of some locks requires low skill level as does using shims on padlocks to get them open. Some of these locks are well known brands like Masterlock.

  • Even before they allowed Google Authenticator to sync accounts across devices, you were able to easily export your 2FA accounts to a series of 2d barcodes that you can print and store securely or save the images to a secure location. Reinstalling the accounts from the backups takes seconds and doesn’t involve recreating 2fa on every service you were using.

  • There are ways to install windows 11 without tpm. If you use rufus, the latest version removes the requirement for tpm when putting windows 11 installer into a usb disk

  • VMUG advantage is under $300 a yr and you get the whole VMware suit

  • Atari 800, early 80's
    Original Mac
    Neither have been booted up in Sophia's lifetime though

  • 23:34 I have a ASUS laptop from 2009 I run Proxmox on with a hand full of VM’s to test with.

  • Wow. Either get the girl up to speed, or at least agree, before the show, how to pronounce all those words she does not know anything about.

  • Ya, MFA on old phone, nuked it as I set up new phone and THEN realized I blew away my authenticator. 😢😭🥲

  • Got a home built machine with a Intel Core i7-4770K, 32 GB RAM, bunch of HDDs and SSDs. It's my daily driver and still works quite well for web, gaming, hobbyist programming, emulation/virtualization, and whatnot. Back when I built it just a little over 10 years ago, I made it with expectations to upgrade it easily over the years, and that's pretty much what I did. It's still running Windows 10 because the CPU isn't supported by Windows 11.

    I mean, sure, the CPU is "ancient" but how often am I CPU-bound on most of the things I do?

  • My laptop is good 8 years old and fortunately can't install Windows 11 on it. I am leaning towards Arch Linux next year when Windows 10 stops pushing updates in September.

  • Surprised there was no mention of Microsoft getting infiltrated with a password spray attack

  • I watched the show on my Thinkpad T510 with an Intel i5M 560 running Fedora 39. Aside from my PS 1, my oldest computer is a HP Vectra VL400 with a Penium III running debian buster. Oldest computer that i use on a daily basis is the pc I built in 2009. It has a AMD Athlon II X4 630 running Win10.

  • Happy Thursday❤! Welcome to another great Technado! Looking forward to being informed & entertained! 😃👍🏻

  • You can check if your unsupported Win 11 CPU will be affected by this issue or not using CPU-Z – You are looking for the SSE 4.2 instruction set – 4.1 wont work (SSE4a on AMD) – it is also worth checking as it is supposed to be on 1st gen intel's and newer however I still have it on a core-duo – before 1st gen.

  • Toshiba Satellite that I run Uuuubuntuh on just to mess around

  • I have a Macbook Air mid-2013 that's been bullpenned as a backup computer for writing.
    Now 10 years old and still works just fine.

    "Grinds My Gears" should be a new segment with the contrarian/old curmudgeon POV kind of like George Morrow on the old Computer Chronicles show.

  • Oh yeah my main daily driver phone atm is a samsung galaxy S8 – still does the job amazinglly

  • Still running a core 2 duo – with win 11 LTSE running on it – but also normally use it as a server to learn on a home lab stuff – Laptop is from 2008 which makes it – 16 years old – wow I even am 1 year more than the host lol
