Updated processor microcode has to be loaded to the processor on every boot, and this can be done either by the system BIOS/firmware or by the OS (or both).

It should be independent, the Linux x86 microcode code ( https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... and /amd.c) seems to write to MSR (model-specific register) 0x79 on

Not really unknown reasons IMO - the comments were clearly unuseful that just served to spam the people who starred the issue. No more information from users is needed to implement it, so the only useful comments can come from Google employ

There are docs for some things, including beyond basic modesetting: http://download.nvidia.com/open-gpu-doc/ They at least used to be responsive to questions a couple of years back when they started publishing the docs

It is standard for taxi passengers to sit in the front in Finland, though.

Yep. But looks like Madrid is receiving data right now from VGR1 and the page says "159.00 b/sec".

AFAIU the site is just documenting existing practices, so I don't think they are over-complicating anything - things just were already complicated (and poorly documented).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the new "standardized DRM" is just EME which all major browsers, including Firefox and Chrome, already implement, and which has been used by e.g. Netflix for several years now. And Netflix works
592.
by AnssiH 9y ago
I don't believe this formal standardization will affect end-user web browser features. All major browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE, Edge, Safari) have already included HTML EME DRM support for years, so it is a de-facto standard already.
593.
by AnssiH 9y ago
Firefox has included support for EME DRM since 2015, despite it not being formally standardized. I don't see them dropping it even if the HTML standard Firefox follows drops them, unless other browser vendors drop EME too.

Indeed. SEPA direct debit is disabled by default on Finnish bank accounts( ), I believe for exactly this reason (and because no service here actually uses it). Instead we use an e-invoice system that requires explicit signup from the user w

by AnssiH 9y ago
Correct. However, at least in Finland this (SEPA direct debit) is not really used. It is not free for end user (~1€/payment) and banks have it disabled by default for security reasons. For domestic recurring payments we normally use &q

The parent was talking about non-Prime, though, and they didn't claim the estimates weren't accurate. My non-Prime sold-by-Amazon in-stock orders from Amazon US consistently take 3-6 business days to process but they still arrive
