Fix is to address a critical CVE:

Specific handling of an attacker-controlled VP8 media stream could lead to a heap buffer overflow in the content process. We are aware of this issue being exploited in other products in the wild.

Creating a driver requires a deep understanding of some pretty low-level pieces of Linux. If you’re new to Linux, you should probably start with some “new to Linux” tutorials and get an understanding of some basic command line usage. Work your way up to being able to follow a guide on compiling the Linux kernel (without any of your own modifications). After that, you can seek out guides on creating a driver.

As a second note, fingerprint drivers are categorically difficult to work with, so this would really be jumping in on the deepest of deep ends. You can do it! But it will take a LOT of self-education.

My strategy too. I have a piece of paper with my bitwarden credentials (password and OTP code) and a list of important items like bank accounts, utilities on autopay, etc.

I review it with my spouse every year and update anything out of date.

I completely believe that, assuming it’s one of the non-4K sticks. The older generation models are rather wimpy and slow (we had one that we replaced for exactly this reason), but any of the newer 4K-capable devices have been snappy and responsive.

Unfortunately, I think you’re unlikely to find anything besides the ones made by the big companies: Google, Apple, Samsung, and Garmin are the ones I know. They each have agreements with the banks and credit card companies to handle the secure exchange of data required for the touch payment system. In fact, there are still some issues resulting from a lack of cooperation (such as Citi Bank not working with Garmin Pay because they can’t be bothered to set up the relationship). I imagine an open source software would be unable to get the banks to pay attention to them to establish a partnership, or would otherwise be declined because the financial institutions wouldn’t trust them.

I recommend a Roku streaming stick or a Roku streambar if you need a decent sound bar too. That’s what we use on our “smart” TVs and I hate ads too. Full disclosure: they do put one ad on the homescreen off to the side, but none in the actual content apps. You’ll only see it while between apps.

You maybe know this but GitAhead was discontinued, and the maintained fork is called Gittyup: https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup

Open source is a definite plus, but tbh not a requirement for me. Actively maintained, free, Windows and Linux, and simple. Oh, and it has to have a dark theme 😄

Fork is only “free” in that the evaluation period is indefinite. This is generous and clicking through the nag isn’t a huge deal, but I develop on both Linux and Windows and I need a client that supports both.

Unfortunately, GitLens is by GitKraken. Seems like they might not restrict it for private repos, though, I’ll check it out.
