The most interesting part to me was the quote from Denuvo, presumably testing out pluton: “The Volterra devices are neat and powerful, ideal for us to test our market-leading anti-piracy and anti-cheat game security technologies. They’re also very quiet, and they just work out of the box.” – Reinhard Blaukovitsch, Managing Director of Denuvo by Irdeto

Yay, more walled gardens that will break for legitimate customers while pirated version will continue to work forever. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29149555 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29149555

> “Performance with Volterra has been refreshingly fast. We have run Actipro’s x86-based product installers, and they all worked. Our WPF and WinForms controls all work well with no changes, even the ‘API-heavy’ ones, as does all test collateral.” – Boyd Patterson, Senior Software Engineer, Actipro Software I just thought the same, but not WPF native on arm?, but an emulation layer?, still looks very promising.

  WPF on .NET 6 is native-on-ARM64 now, apparently: * https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102341/0400/WPF-and--NET-6 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102341/0400/WPF-and-... * https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/1817 https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/issues/1817 * https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-july-2021/#windows-arm64 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-july-2021/#windows... > Windows Forms and WPF are now supported on Windows Arm64. We added support for Windows Arm64 with .NET 6 Preview 1 and have since backported it to .NET 5 (with 5.0.8). Windows Forms and WPF work the same on Arm64 as they do on x64. You could already use x86 emulation to run Windows Forms and WPF apps on Arm64, however, there was a performance cost to doing so. With this release, you can your apps natively with full performance.

I wonder how many years until every DRM vendor can enforce pluton as a baseline. 5 more?

  I just read about Pluton and honestly I'm not even shocked anymore. I'm glad I could enjoy free computing while it lasted.
