cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-28 09:00:05

Meal kits have become the love child of "I want to eat something that didn't come from a drive-through" and "I wouldn't know a good recipe if it kissed me on the mouth." Meal kits are perfect for health-conscious folks who've realized that ordering Thai food five nights a week isn't a nutrition plan and for culinary beginners who think "sautéing" is a French dance move. Here's the plot twist: meal kits actually cost about the same as regular groceries these days. Yes, you read that right. Thank

Next month, Apple should be refreshing its entire Apple Watch lineup.

Running Wayland Clients as Non-Root Users on Yocto

news.ycombinator.com Burkhard Stubert 2025-11-25 03:30:27

Many embedded Linux systems use a Wayland compositor like Weston for window management. Qt applications act as Wayland clients. Weston composes the windows of the Qt applications into a single window and displays it on a screen. I still have to find a Yocto layer that does not start Qt applications as root. This violates the cybersecurity principle that every application should only run with the least privileges possible. Let us figure out how to run Qt applications as non-root users and make ou
