In a sense, they were partially right, while being wrong. Based on Puget’s data, it’s apparent that motherboard vendors overly aggressive default settings helped contribute to the issue being so prominent, when reasonable settings would fail at a lower rate than comparable zen CPUs.

Obviously Intel messed up badly, and those settings shouldn’t result in this behavior, but maybe this will convince system integrators to have more reasonable defaults in the future.

In a top end system, we’re already sitting in territory where our GPU is our benchmark, do we really need to default to giving the cpu so much power?

Ironically, I’ve just started asking LLMs to summarize paywalled content, and if it doesn’t answer my question I’ll check web archives or ask it for the full articles text.

Attended both keynotes, but the data I’ve seen suggests Intels offerings are higher IPC + lower power VS the respective AMD AI CPUs.

It sounds dumb, but honestly modern browsers feel way closer to the JRE than they did things designed to fetch and render sites.

Probably need to check on this, but I’ve heard of issues around video decode and Firefox.

While I’d never personally use Chrome, you can describe this in another way too.

“Chrome supports draft standards like webUSB, which more and more hardware tools and platforms have started to adopt to enable being able to support users regardless of platform, without needing to design native apps for them.”

You can argue this is good in other ways too, it means that instead of a potentially invasive hardware application for something you might configure or update once, you are using something heavily sandboxed that has to request permissions for anything outside the normal. Another benefit is that depending on what the hardware device is, suddenly these hardware devices can be configured on platforms like Linux and FreeBSD, where vendors are much less inclined to support or cater to natively.

Say what you want about draft standards, but Firefox not playing ball and adopting commonly used ones is a massive miss on its part that hurts its ability to be competitive.

PCIe issues are only really a thing with BCLK overclocking on systems that lack a secondary external clock generator. BCLK overclocking is a pretty uncommon practice that isn’t practical for day to day usage.

With the hacker comment, in fairness the weakest link in a lot of orgs is often the human one. Ignoring obvious stuff like phishing links, people can be disillusioned by their employer or their government through propaganda and other campaigns run by their adversaries. The westerners who supported ISIS, etc didn’t just do so in a vacuum out of the blue.

While you’re probably right, this isn’t super relevant. From Google’s perspective, they just want to auction off the advertising slot and get that view, the actual click through rate on that ad is a secondary issue.

Clicked in to it to see, it’s monthly. States that the next bill is 30 days after it goes live.

In fairness, the GT 730 will reach 10 years old in only 6 more months and loses performance wise to even older laptop iGPUs by a decent margin. The card alone is years past the age range GPUs “typically fail”, even Windows has long dropped support for it. Expecting even open source volunteers to maintain support for every old GPU while continuously improving the drivers and adding more functionality and fixes is a bit much.

Blocks of numbers moving from mobile to voip, sometimes things aren’t instantly updated in databases and might take a little bit before that eventually happens.

This isn’t something casually identified with flashy software solutions or APIs, it’s more of a relationships with carriers and other companies in the telco space sorta thing. It gets even more fun when you start looking in to MO and MT on the SMPP side of things.

They don’t do so super well, in general. There’s a reason that risk scoring solutions for phone numbers often see numbers flagged as VOIP as red flags.

In MacOS this is really just a feature of using Mach-O’s multi architecture abilities, they call this universal binaries.

Downing real data at a lot of companies sounds like a PII nightmare.

It’s not too difficult, if you ignore all the things which made Dropbox successful.

Typically, people who are trying to defend themselves from nation state threat actors aren’t using iPhones or stock Android phones, and absolutely wouldn’t use safe browsing if they did.

A lot of this land and property is privately owned by the royal family but leased to the government, I’m not exactly versed in UK law; but a governmental attempt to seize a private citizens land seems like it wouldn’t be the smoothest thing to attempt to pull off.

At my current company we’re in an awkward situation with python 2.7.1 and 2.7.5, I’ve found that a easy solution to circular dependencies caused by the new resolver is installing pip==20.2.4 and an older setuptools (I don’t have this version memorized) before doing anything.

The situation exists entirely because Google created it, they designed a HAL (hardware abstraction layer) with the intention of letting device manufacturers design devices while skirting GPLv2 requirements.

This is entirely rosy retrospection, Windows update has always been a nightmare.

NMEA perhaps?

Phone number risk scoring models would heavily weigh against behavior like that. Prepaid numbers are typically scored worse than post paid numbers as well, but that sort of behavior would quickly be identified as fraudulent.

On his blog post he mentioned that there are still 2 other apple engineers working on CUPS, and that Apple still very much owns the code.

I can’t imagine it going away anytime soon.

Personally I’d make a binary run as a non-root user with just CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_NET_RAW permissions to cut the scope down even more.

Apple TV is based on Darwin, which isn’t a BSD, it’s a certified UNIX. (Or at least it once was)

If it’s anything like the DoD does, the reason USB ports and CD drives aren’t physically disabled is because sometimes using authorized devices and media is required to perform your official duties.

I don’t really agree to this, the end result is going to be a large number of YouTube tutorials instructing people on how to do this with captions like: watch free movies on iPhone, “popular mobile game” money hack, and Snapchat take screenshots without notifying hack.

Half of these developer / root mode required secrets are going to be occasionally working mods and tweaks except with tons of baked in spyware and ads that can no longer easily be removed.

Perhaps some sort of per device profile which requires a paid developer account could work, but I’ve gotten a number of odd calls about YouTube videos involving Kodi from family before, so I’m not sure trusting in the give users freedom front.

Not the person you’re replying to, but I know a number of people with this sentiment. They’re all former residents of the Soviet Union and were able to get out as refugees to the US when it collapsed.
