The APUs have so far lagged behind the CPUs by a year. Based on that we can expect Zen 2 + Navi APUs some time next year.

"Momma" is used much more frequently in AAVE than General American English. Your use of it in this context comes across as being mocking of black Americans. (Perhaps the missing bit of cultural context is that racists often use ex

Keep in mind that what the Fed is building will just be a backend service for facilitating instant money transfers, not an end-user product. It will be up to the banks to develop the front-end for their customers to use.

Furthermore, leaving it out in the open allows it to spread. There's good evidence that "de-platforming" is highly effective at preventing the spread of hate.

You can use AMD graphics cards with their open-source drivers. I'm not sure how well hardware-accelerated video works with them but it should work the same as it does on x86 Linux. Multimedia is probably one of the weaker areas for Pow

As I said the alternatives to AEADs have well-known security issues that AEADs are immune to by design. Keeping 1.0 and 1.1 around requires keeping CBC ciphers around and all the workarounds and careful design required to avoid exposing pad

The biggest benefit to dropping TLS 1.0 and 1.1 is that modern AEAD ciphers are only supported by TLS 1.2 and above. In TLS 1.0 your only options are the hilariously-broken RC4 or block ciphers in CBC mode, which is a perennial source of pa
