Oculus Rift is effectively bricked right now — First discovered in the Oculus Forums, the cause of this Oculus Runtime Service error is an expired certificate. Because Oculus failed to renew this certificate, the Oculus Runtime Service is being viewed as invalid. The only way to fix this is for Oculus to release an updated version of OculusAppFramework.dll with a new certificate. Once that happens, your Oculus services should return to normal operating speed.
Android P Developer Preview arrives with new notification panel, notch support — However, device support for this release is pretty limited: you’ll need a Google Pixel phone to play. The developer preview works on the Pixel 1, Pixel 1 XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, and that’s it. Pour one out for the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, and Pixel C tablet, which were all part of the Android O developer preview but didn’t make it to Android P. I actually confirmed this with Google—those three devices won’t be getting Android P.

Driving into a Tornado | Rover Log 17

Only a few hours into our return trip from SCALE 14x we heard the warning to get off the road, and take shelter. Troubles with tornadoes, drones with friends, and the the long haul home.

Note: Footage is from January 2016.

Our road trip to SCALE14x in Pasadena gets a bit exciting when we move into our new home, a 37 foot Class A RV while on the road. Plus a behind the scenes look at attending SCALE, and thoughts on Cory Doctorow’s DRM talk.

Technical challenges, new lessons, and good friends.

Lessons, Thanks, and a Water Leak | Rover Log 13

Spending time on the open road taught us a lot of lessons, really fast. We share some of our favorites with you, thank some who helped with gear for the trip…

And then discuss our rather nasty leak.

The Rover has been parked (mostly) since the trip, and there is a bit of wear. We’ll probably spend the next couple of videos tackling these challanes. We start with one of our most pressing.

Plus check out the Hyperlapses of Chris at work recording a bunch of shows this weekend!

Making it Home and Early Reflections on the Road Trip | Rover Log 12

chris — Thu, 08 Oct 2015 20:38:42 +0000

In a mad rush we leave Bozeman Montana and drive straight home. We capture the rush, and the exhaustion we felt after making the long trek, our motivations for the last few days, and some early reflections on the trip.

Without a doubt, we hit that famous Seattle traffic once we got back into town, can’t say we missed that.

And Chris and Hadea share what life’s been like since getting back.

An Unexpected Detour | Rover Log 11

chris — Wed, 30 Sep 2015 17:19:31 +0000

After checking the remainder of our timeline, we made an unexpected choice to go to Wyoming rather than head to Utah. It will allow us to bask on the road rather than drive night and day. Boy was it worth it! We’ve been here for about 12 hours and are just dumb struck with its beauty. This state is vast and majestic. Tonight we stay in the Grand Teton National Park, tomorrow we explore Yellowstone! I guess that means we will have to make a Utah specific trip later on. Sounds good to us!

After all… The journey is the adventure.

We finally made it to North Dakota! After blasting through Eastern Montana yesterday (10 hours of driving) and another 4 hours of driving across North Dakota today, we have finally reached Noah’s! Great burger and beer ensued, and a soak in the hot tub.

Now off to prep a few much needed shows that we will be recording this weekend from Noah’s!

Recording on the Road and Meet Hadea | Rover Log 8

chris — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 18:41:38 +0000

Our first full day in Montana was filled to the brim. Breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Missoula, boon docking for the day in Butte where Antrit found us via the Rover Tracker and joined in as we came up with some creative solutions to limited power and iffy connections.

Hadea takes a minute to introduce herself to the community while roaming around Butte, and then we are off to Bozeman, where we score a beautiful RV spot at a KOA camp and get free passes to the Bozeman Hot Springs.

Black Tank Battle and LTE Router | Rover Log #4

chris — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 18:12:52 +0000

Its was my worst nightmare. A major problem with the stinkin black tank, right before we hit the road.

Thankfully this sticky situation pushed us to learn some handing troubleshooting techniques and pick up a helpful gadget before we hit the road.

Plus a quick look at the LTE Router I’ll be using to crate a LAN, forward DNS, and manage the different Mifi connections for the trailer’s LAN.

This might very well be the last update before we hit the road!

We are looking for suggestions on where we can park overnight in Spokane, please email us: rover@jupiterbroadcasting.com

Save WiFi/Individual Comments

Right now, the FCC is considering a proposal to require manufacturers to lock down computing devices (routers, PCs, phones) to prevent modification if they have a “modular wireless radio”[1][2]
or a device with an “electronic label”[3]. The rules would likely:

Restrict installation of alternative operating systems on your PC, like GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc.
Prevent research into advanced wireless technologies, like mesh networking and bufferbloat fixes
Ban installation of custom firmware on your Android phone
Discourage the development of alternative free and open source WiFi firmware, like OpenWrt
Infringe upon the ability of amateur radio operators to create high powered mesh networks to assist emergency personnel in a disaster.
Prevent resellers from installing firmware on routers, such as for retail WiFi hotspots or VPNs, without agreeing to any condition a manufacturer so chooses.
Save WiFi: Act Now To Save WiFi From The FCC | Hackaday

The folks at ThinkPenguin, the EFF, FSF, Software Freedom Law Center, Software Freedom Conservancy, OpenWRT, LibreCMC, Qualcomm, and other have put together the SaveWiFi campaign.

Freya 0.3.1 is Here!

At the heart of this upgrade is the latest Hardware Enablement stack from Ubuntu 14.04.3. It includes version 3.19 of the Linux kernel and an updated Mesa that fixes the dreaded “double cursor” glitch. Workspaces in the Multitasking view also now work properly on Nvidia Optimus. The new hardware stack also brings better support for backlights and touchpads on certain laptops, a host of performance and power-related improvements, and support for 5th generation Intel processors. This release should also improve support for (U)EFI systems, especially when installing without an internet connection.

Munich Linux councillor: ‘We didn’t propose a switch back to Windows’

“There are several points of criticism concerning the notebooks of the councillors with very different reasons (not Linux in general). There are 80 councillors in the city. Their work and needs can’t be compared with the whole administration.”

Pfeiler denied that there was any kind of consensus towards a complete reverse migration, but rather suggests a retroactive fitting of Windows for certain specific purposes, adding that there was nothing to suggest that the Limux system was working anything other than well.
