Apparently no speaker has been arranged, but there should be enough to chat about. At 7:30 PM, go to GTALUG's NextCloud: <https://hub.gtalug.org/call/7m45sf9i> Bring your questions and answers. Here are some topics that interest me: Tom, a new subscriber, is having some trouble installing Wine. If he attends, perhaps we can help hem. TV sets spying on household: Gamers Nexus has recently reported on their research <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA> Amazon's new set-top boxes have Vega OS. Built on Linux + React Native. Is there any use in cracking them? My guess: not really. <https://developer.amazon.com/apps-and-games/vega> Rowhammer, a family security weakness of dynamic RAM (i.e. almost all RAM we use). In particular, U of T researches have very effectively compromised machines using industrial Nvidia GPUs, even though their RAM is protected by ECC! <https://www.techtimes.com/articles/325726/20260827/rowhammer-breaks-nvidia-ecc-root-shell-under-two-minutes-before-code-goes-public.htm> Compromising machines without ECC should be child's play. Amazing progress in enumerating polyominoes. <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.22446> I can talk a bit about this since my results, published in 1981, were the most that was known for about 20 years. But I have yet to read this paper. Some Russian drones include Raspberry Pi computers :-( Lots of hits when I search for "russian drone raspberry pi". <Ahttps://www.heise.de/en/news/Russian-jet-kamikaze-drone-with-Raspberry-Pi-4-10669801.html> Remotely accessing a GNOME desktop: gnome-remote-desktop? waypipe? Something else?
