IBM announced the world’s first HDD, the 3.75MB RAMAC 350 disk storage unit, 69 years ago today — unit weighed more than a ton, 50 platters ran at 1,200 RPM in c/retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

The Tom's Hardware article doesn't discuss the pricing structure, however the Wikipedia article does -- the RAMAC 305 was leased, not purchased, for $35,800 per month in 2024 USD).

Alternative to NordVPN Meshnet? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Fellow satisfied Tailscale user here. Worth noting that one can host a custom control plane server if desired, which in theory removes cloud dependencies for Tailscale from the equation: https://tailscale.com/kb/1507/custom-control-server. Use of Mullvad exit nodes is optional ($5 / mo for 5 machines at time of writing). I'm not sure if TS' native exit node feature can be configured to use other/sepf-hosted VPNs, but I suspect this is not supported.

Has every site adopted clickbait headlines as a default these days? Here's the "AI report" in question:

"...The report, The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025, found that the promised AI gold rush isn’t paying off for most companies yet..."

Well put. I confess that my hot take was based on skimming the title of the article, and as you note, their vision is even more dystopian. Fire the pixels onto the screen and forget about them, I say!

None of these are things I want in an OS.

PoC Released for Notepad++ Flaw Enables Privilege Escalation to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM in c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works

Ugh, no name security site, paywalled article. Here are the details from Notepad++'s maintainer (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/security/advisories/GHSA-9vx8-v79m-6m24 ) and the CVE : https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-49144

Sign in with Apple mystery (lemmy.ml)
 

Digging around in iOS settings under Apple Account, I encountered the Sign In with Apple page listing apps to which authentication is being provided via my Apple account . All app entries are familiar to me except for one with an Apple logo and "Sign In Group Production" as the app identifier.

I found a discussion on Apple's developer forum about Sign In With Apple and app grouping (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/125087 ), but this isn't mentioned, and I don't use developer features or TestFlight on this device.

Does anyone else have this entry or know what it's used for?

Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Aviation in c/programming@programming.dev

That was fascinating. Ditto the link in the post to the article on names, which they cited as inspiration for writing it: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/?ref=flightaware.engineering

Feature request: Reddit repost content filter (sh.itjust.works)
 

In quite a few of the communities I subscribe to, a portion of the content is provided by bots reposting items from corresponding subreddits. This is often useful, but it'd be helpful to have a filter that would show only "native" Lemmy posts, since these tend to attract more dialog.

Perhaps this could be done by looking for the presence of Reddit URLs in the post text, and/or by triggering on common strings such as "rss" or "bot" in the username.

Thanks for building such a great app.

Disappearing message notification / message app freeze (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/33588339

I received a text notification from an unknown number earlier today. I'm usually suspicious of such things, but clicked the notification. The messages app loaded, but displayed a blank white screen until I closed the app. After doing so, there was no evidence of the message notification or the message itself, in any of the message categories (known, unknown, all, deleted messages, etc).

This is on an iPhone 14 Pro Max using a fully up to date device running iOS 18.3.1 .

Has anyone else experienced this? I am hoping that the group might be able to offer insight into whether this is a bug worth reporting to Apple, or an attack of some sort? I am aware that at least one zero-click messaging bug was recently patched in iOS. I rebooted my device, and I'm waiting for the security delay to expire so I can reset my iCloud password. I have 2FA and stolen device protection switched on.

(please disregard link to example.com ; my Lemmy client wouldn't allow a text-only post without an image or a link).
