@scottalanmiller Much appreciated.

Google-fu is failing hard. OBR?

@aaronstuder Because Imgur is serving them all over HTTPS.

One Raspberry Pi 3 that I previously used as a low speed torrent box, but now have running a SANS DShield sensor.

Do you have fwupdatemgr installed?

I had a microcode update applied by Korora 26 during the week, perhaps that?

Check dnf history?

Maybe something using LibreOffices --convert-to command line option? For example:

 soffice --convert-to xlsx:"Calc MS Excel 2007 XML" filename.csv --headless

Edit: Edited to change reference from Excel 2003 to 2007.

LattePanda is a neat looking board. Supports Ubuntu 16.04 as well as Windows.

Does the update have a KB number and is it rolled out to supported devices via Windows Update?

I haven't seen them listed on any of the advisory pages, but this comes from the PatchManagement.org mailing list.

They'll be out on Windows Update, and are already downloadable from the Windows Update Catalog. Again, they will only show in Windows Update if the registry condition is correct.

@jimmy9008 Yesterday. The patches are being held until your AV drops a particular registry key though, as some were found to bluescreen.

@jimmy9008 I don't think information is going to be reliably available until the patches are more generally available and more wide benchmarking is run.

Not the worst reasoning for doing it, but my word they screwed the pooch in communicating this one. They spent years denying that they did it at all.

@irj What about a Nextcloud compatible third party app like Synchronise Ultimate? I've used that before with Seafile with success.

@dafyre said in NextCloud Android App Syncing:

What version of the app are you using?

I am running the Dev version from F-Droid and I have options to use that, but I have not tested them.

The standard version of F-Droid has the same, photo/video only auto-upload options.

I've usually used xfce, though since they're slow moving things to GTK I might take a look at Budgie or MATE.
