So I have that error when it starts up and it says "RDSEED32 is broken disabling the corresponding CPU bit"

I noticed today that AMD has already patched this but what is the easiest and beginner friendly way to update it on my machine? I run fedora.

I was hoping it would be some update within Linux but so far no dice as according to this page from AMD the update has already been issued. (https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7055.html)

I know windows is usually the easiest way to do these things but I would be willing to learn a little bit (within my technical limits) to avoid using it for this.

And if I DID have to use windows, right now I'm using LUKS encryption so isn't that like a monster to add windows into without messing stuff up?

I am very beginner on command line stuff but can navigate through files and stuff like that.

What's the best move for this?

Whether you agree with the Guardian’s conclusions or not, the underlying issue they’re pointing at is broader than any one company: the steady collapse of ambient trust in our information systems.

The Guardian ran an editorial today warning that AI companies are shedding safety staff while accelerating deployment and profit seeking. The concern was not just about specific models or edge cases, but about something more structural. As AI systems scale, the mechanisms that let people trust what they see, hear, and read are not keeping up.

Here’s a small but telling technology-adjacent example that fits that warning almost perfectly.

Ryan Hall, Y’all, a popular online weather forecaster, recently introduced a manual verification system for his own videos. At the start of each real video, he bites into a specific piece of fruit. Viewers are told that if a video of “him” does not include the fruit, it may not be authentic.

This exists because deepfakes, voice cloning, and unauthorized reuploads have become common enough that platform verification, follower counts, and visual familiarity no longer reliably signal authenticity.

From a technology perspective, this is fascinating.

A human content creator has implemented a low-tech authentication protocol because the platforms hosting his content cannot reliably establish provenance. In effect, the fruit is a nonce. A shared secret between creator and audience. A physical gesture standing in for a cryptographic signature that the platform does not provide.

This is not about weather forecasting credentials. It is about infrastructure failure.

When people can no longer trust that a video is real, even when it comes from a known figure, ambient trust collapses. Not through a single dramatic event, but through thousands of small adaptations like this. Trust migrates away from systems and toward improvised social signals.

That lines up uncomfortably well with the Guardian’s concern. AI systems are being deployed faster than trust and safety can scale. Safety teams shrink. Provenance tools remain optional or absent. Responsibility is pushed downward onto users and individual creators.

So instead of robust verification at the platform or model level, we get fruit.

It is clever. It works. And it should worry us.

Because when trust becomes personal, ad hoc, and unscalable, the system as a whole becomes brittle. This is not just about AI content. It is about how societies determine what is real in moments that matter.

TL;DR: A popular weather creator now bites a specific fruit on camera to prove his videos are real. This is a workaround for deepfakes and reposts. It is also a clean example of ambient trust collapse. Platforms and AI systems no longer reliably signal authenticity, so creators invent their own verification hacks. The Guardian warned today that AI is being deployed faster than trust and safety can keep up. This is what that looks like in practice.

Question: Do you think this ends with platform-level provenance becoming mandatory, or are we heading toward more improvised human verification like this becoming normal?

I have a limited 20Mbps upload speed but 16 TB of storage. I’m kinda just asking if there’s anything I can use it for. I’ll donate one purpose: seeding Anna’s Archive. Not sure on other causes.

Hacker News.

Just a decade after a global backlash was triggered by Snowden reporting on mass domestic surveillance, the state-corporate dragnet is stronger and more invasive than ever.

After successfully recuperating tiktok, politicians are going to once again exploit pseudo-science to outlaw the "infinite scroll." Get ready for the comeback of the pager. Thanks libs!

It's honestly kinda crazy how long some games spend in development. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is a perfect example of something that should've been quick but ended up being so bloated and took forever to make.

FF7Remake was announced in 2015, got stuck in development hell for a bit, released 2020. The sequel released 2024. The third one still hasn't been teased yet. How many people are attached to a franchise if it takes 10 years to get the full story? I loved the first remake but dropped the second one, I just didn't care about the story as much as I did ~5 years ago.

Adafruit: From Ultimate Driving Machine to Ultimate Rent-Seeking Machine: The BMW Logo Screw Patent.

If you haven’t already heard, BMW’s R&D teams have been busy “innovating.” Unfortunately, they aren’t focusing on the things that actually matter—like stellar engine performance or the legendary driving dynamics that gearheads love. Instead, the C-suite execs decided that the best use of their engineering budget was to design a proprietary security screw specifically intended to prevent BMW drivers from fixing their own cars.

Today’s game is some more Alan Wake II. I was playing with lighting and portraits to practice some stuff we had gone over in my Photography class. I got this one of him illuminated by the projector light I really liked.

There was also this one I grabbed on the stage of Door’s talk show, I got it to contrast with the warmer lighting of the other one. Kind of get a matching pair of that makes sense.

Speaking of Door’s talk show, or more so the area around it, when I exited I saw this sign that said OD Diner. At first I thought it was a reference to Alan’s addiction problems, but if I remember correctly he just had a drinking problem.

Then I realized, “duh. It’s Oh Dear Diner dumb ass.” It makes sense because it’s a dream world, which is random neurons firing off. So obviously it’s his brain (or more so the dark place) reusing his memory of the Oh Dear Diner.

I also got the privilege of discovering my PS5 controller I bought purely for PC gaming is now deciding it wants to drift. In this elevator I got stuck moving to the left. I adjusted dead zones to help a little but honestly it’s just a patch, and not even one that worked well.

Honestly, it’s kind of on me, it’s taken quite a few falls. I’ll have to see about sending it in. If not, then there’s a fancy new steam controller on the horizon that hopefully is within my budget.

Because of said Stick Drift I stopped in the theater. I’m gonna try and adjust the dead zone a little more to make it more tolerable, so we’ll see if I can do that or if I should start looking into my warranty.

Dr. Mehmet Oz is pitching a controversial fix for America's rural health care crisis: artificial intelligence.

"There's no question about it — whether you want it or not — the best way to help some of these communities is gonna be AI-based avatars," Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said recently at an event focused on addiction and mental health hosted by Action for Progress, a coalition aimed at improving behavioral health care. He said AI could multiply the reach of doctors fivefold — or more — without burning them out.

The AI proposal is part of the Trump administration's $50 billion plan to modernize health care in rural communities. That includes deploying tools such as digital avatars to conduct basic medical interviews, robotic systems for remote diagnostics, and drones to deliver medication where pharmacies don't exist.
