@rafael_tolosana Well, I can try some useless but challenging hacks, like playing a video on it. 😄

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

Here is my "recent" acquisition. I love its retrofuturism look! I however think it has seen better days... I'm just wondering: can it play Big Buck Bunny? 🤔

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

Humm... There is quite some cleaning work to do in there! 😄

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

I have just released the code of my basic player for old Macs along with some instructions! https://t.co/hqqcriWPcQ

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

I had no way to watch Big Buck Bunny on the old Mac IIcx from 1989 I have just fixed. So, I made a custom player! Look how awesome BBB renders on the monochrome portrait display! 😁 https://t.co/MNV2SNcZmU

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

I used quite a lot a free software to achieve that. I will probably write something about it and open source everything. 😉

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

@robUx4 Yeah. Since the frame are monochrome, it's only one bit per pixel. So it's not too heavy to process in a raw format.

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

@Eramdam It is quite yellow actually as well. It would also need some retrobrighting.

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

I have just fixed this Macintosh IIcx from 1989 ! I had to replace a few leaky capacitors on the motherboard and the graphic card. It's quite nice the SCSI hard drive is still working. 🙂

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

It is monochrome though. 🙂

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

@robUx4 I think you'll appreciate this vintage Apple CRT from 1989. It was already vertical video ready !

@tbenezeth @Orange_conseil C'est aussi possible que le service que tu cherches à joindre n'ait pas non plus d'assez gros tuyaux de son côté. En fibre si Orange te vend du gigabit, tu pourras joindre en gigabit leur coeur de réseau. Pour aller ailleurs, ça dépend. Tout ça est une histoire de tuyauterie. 🙂

[Adrien Maglo @m4gsoft]

@tbenezeth @Orange_conseil La fibre, ça n'est pas comme l'ADSL. Tu n'as pas d'atténuation du débit en fonction de la distance au noeud de raccordement. Si tu n'atteints pas le débit maximal vers un service, c'est que ton opérateur doit rajouter de plus gros tuyaux en amont.

About the "security issue" on #VLC : VLC is not vulnerable.
tl;dr: the issue is in a 3rd party library, called libebml, which was fixed more than 16 months ago.
VLC since version 3.0.3 has the correct version shipped, and @MITREcorp did not even check their claim.

[VideoLAN @videolan]

Hey @MITREcorp and @CVEnew , the fact that you NEVER ever contact us for VLC vulnerabilities for years before publishing is really not cool; but at least you could check your info or check yourself before sending 9.8 CVSS vulnerability publicly...

@tbenezeth Si tu as pas mal de réseau wifi dans ton voisinage, il se peut qu'il y ait des collisions des canaux de fréquence. Essaye peut-être de changer le canal de ta box. https://t.co/HYomANXunN On a la fibre mtn mais on n'avait jamais de pb pour regarder Netflix en ADSL avec Bouygues.
