Over the last day, Android devices have encountered a ‘Google Play Store keeps stopping’ system warning...

Hi there

I had the problem that my front usb-c port didn't work anymore. I tried everything and even reconnected the port to the mainboard because I thought it may have been loose, but nothing helped. The device manager also showed an unknown PCI device on bus 18, which seemed to be the usb-c port, but didn't find any drivers for it.

While searching for a solution I found multiple users with the same problem, mainly on reddit. As I won't post there but wanted to share the solution with others, I thought I post it here, hope that's ok.

As it turns out, there is new driver for the AMD chipset released a week ago. Installing this one solved it for me, the update seems not to be installed via Windows Updates. You can find it on the MSI support page: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-B650-TOMAHAWK-WIFI/support#driver

Hope it helps others.

📚 A second underground school has been opened in Kharkiv.

The classrooms are eight meters underground. Most of the funds for the construction, 70 million UAH, were allocated by the Taiwanese government. Another 10 million were from the city budget.

By the end of the year, the city government plans to build five more such schools.

Includes quotes from UChicago provost's letter:

As we do so, we are requesting that all University researchers working on federal grants temporarily suspend their non-personnel spending on federal grants as much as possible during this period of substantial uncertainty. For example, do not make any additional spending commitments, purchase new supplies or equipment, start new experiments, embark on funded travel, etc.

Original Title: A low-cost tool accurately distinguishes neurotypical children from children with autism just by watching them copy the dance moves of an on-screen avatar for a minute. It can even tell autism from ADHD, conditions that commonly overlap.

When I use the Timeshift GUI to create a snapshot, it takes a very long time to complete. If I click Cancel, my desktop environment crashes and I get kicked to a black screen or a login prompt.

When I use Timeshift CLI, it creates the snapshot in less than a second, but the command waits for a long time afterward. However, it can be safely interrupted with control-C.

Timeshift is in BTRFS mode.
