Too bad. It's not possible for rootkits to be a good idea for a video game.

Anyone know who to contact for a possible open-sourcing of the old Teoma code? The world needs more search engines, and I vaguely remember it being reasonably good before it was bought and buried.

If we restrict the rule to just software in Apple's case, I think it still holds :P

That's for a hardware receiver. It does not appear to have mobile app or API doc accompanyment or a doc on what is needed for expansion. I would imagine that there is a minimum critical mass and municipal buy-in for such devices to wor

Expecting support globally is of course unreasonable. Expecting it to be designed to be somewhat location-agnostic for contributors and including some obvious docs (which could just be "coming soon" or "here's what we ne

It'll work just fine for gaming. It's what the B770 would have been if it had 32GB RAM and ever got released.

Some people, including myself, loathe Nvidia with the fiery burning passion of a thousand suns, and will put up with whatever nonsense is necessary to run without them.

Run anti-cheat server-side. Give us private servers again. There's no reason we should have to put up with client-side rootkits written by non-kernel-devs to play a game.

Wouldn't a tar pipe be even lighter?

By photo editing, do you mean a RAW editor alternative to Lightroom? Darktable, RAWTherapee, DaVinci Resolve, AfterShot Pro, and the unhelpfully named "Art" [1] are all options for that. For something to replace Photoshop, Affinit

So much defense of Kubernetes as the only solution to problems like this. Nomad and Incus exist as solid and less complicated alternatives. They also have a larger scaling ceiling.

I've seen a number of attempted coke replicas, but this one sounds like the best. Would you kindly share the link?

Everyone who knows what the OSI model is should read at least some of this book.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, not GTK.

As I recall, Flash and Java weren't so much security issues themselves, but rather the poorly designed gaping hole they used to enter the browser sandbox being impossible to lock down. If something like WASM existed at the time to make

Fun to see all that, but curious why I haven't seen any on any of my trips across the UK and Ireland. I even asked some locals and they did not know of any diners anywhere in the country. I would've thought they would've been

That is excellent news! Looking forward to that :)

The fully remote teams that I have been a part of all started a tradition of leaving a persistent ${VIDEOCONFERENCE} running that we can just hang out in. It isn't perfect, but is enough to retain the sense of community and support fro

There are only a few features I care about in a smartwatch: 1. O2 monitoring. I have sleep apnea and live at high altitude, so this matters to me. 2. Motion sensor. Also mostly for tracking sleep. 3. Vibrator for notifications. 4. A screen

Is that based on recent experience? With "stable" ROCm, or the (IMHO better) releases from TheRock? With older or more recent hardware? The AMD landscape is rather uneven.

I'd settle for requiring the battery specs to be fully available, and that they can't be made difficult to manufacture without good reason. Ideally, there should be some set of standard protocols/connectors/voltages&#x2F

Personally, the only thing I want is better crop/scale/zoom to conform badly letterboxed video to your timeline resolution. It can be done, but the ergonomics are awful, and its not clear which of the 3 crop filters actually do th

Are you on some point-release distro that never pulls in the latest frameworks? I know I've noticed a big uplift in stability by using a rolling release base, or Flatpak if stuck on "stable".

Why not convert to PCM to avoid quality degradation?

One of my math teachers said that practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes permanent. You can practice and reinforce the wrong thing until that's all you know.

My imperfect solution would be to implement some sort of compulsory licensing system that lets people copy at will for reasonable prices, and comes with a more sensible penalty system for violators. People should get paid for their work, bu

Epyc has that VM encrypted memory thing, which comes pretty close. It does raise an interesting question, though: would a PCIe card passed through to a VM be able to DMA access the memory of neighboring devices?

Don't forget to factor in cooling costs.

Piracy started as a term directly related to theft. Its use in the modern age for copying is also an attempt to frame the activity as theft, even though there is no action that can reasonably described as theft. Copying leaves the original

I have a better idea: we should invest in ladders and tools to safely and cleanly take them down. Then mail them back to flock with a note saying "I found this on the side of the road and thought you might want it back."
