I am also a big Broadcom VideoCore hater (lol), but: >an SoC with freely licensed source code Free as in "GPL". The GPL is incompatible with a slew of other licenses and so being dependent on reading the Linux source for how to

I think we're coming at this from two different definitions of "open". There is a very large difference between "blobless Linux compatible" and "open hardware". Have you tried to use any of these SoCs on a

I'd hardly argue that the RK3399 SoC is more "open" than any of the broadcom SoCs. You can't even _see_ the MMIO tables for the RK3399 without an NDA. This isn't different from Broadcom SoCs, but at least the Pi has

Often times users don't even know they have a fraudulent product. Some of these clones are literally just your product (third shifted) and so short of assigning bonded, single use serials (which is easy to say and very hard in practice

Revocation is important for SSO and, generally, on corporate systems. When you fire an employee and suspend their systems access, you really don't want a dangling session token to be useable, so you need to support early revocation. Th

Is this a wholehearted departure then from the whole "Simplicity Principle"? Not to be a complete ass, but in your view is there a defensible reason why every single layer of the entire network stack does not guarantee integrity?

Why does the author assume we want to associate a bearer token with hardware at all? When my services issue a JWT, I am issuing a right to talk to my service. If you want to take that token and move it to your phone, neat good for you. If s

A lot of the hardware on the board has vendor support in Linux and only Linux. Vendors will write drivers and upstream them to Linux and then just call it a day. You can't get the manuals for those components except under NDA, which ma

It's kinda unclear at the moment, but it's working its way through the courts! See HiQ Labs v. LinkedIn [1] in which HiQ was scraping public profiles and was blocked from doing so by LinkedIn. This made its way to court and the 9t

From what I've seen just bumping into some of the devs on twitter, many larger software packages (i.e. Chromium) used a hardcoded pagesize. AFAIK, Asahi doesn't actually support mixed pages—just 16k—due to some hardware quirks on

It also wouldn't surprise me at all that they do this given the sheer complexity of booting XNU on an Apple SoC. XNU _requires_ that it can talk to a bunch of hardware early in boot (which, for what its worth, is partially why booting

They wouldn't need to even talk to the AP to get out on to the network though :) If you have physical write access, you can talk to the network just by writing data in the network device's mailbox using the exactly same MMIO techn

Boy oh boy do I have bad news for you about every other computer you're using today. The ccNUMA model they teach in school is well and truly dead even on desktops. There is no modern computer that just has the CPU in charge of memory.

I suspect this is 10% of the reason why System Integrity Protection exists. Yes, it's great to stop malware, but it's even better to save your frontline support from having to deal with people who decided that it'd be a good

I have not heard of companies who operate bug bounties punishing engineers. Apple certainly does not do this either. Most companies do the math and decide that it's cheaper for them to deal with paying a research than it is to deal wit

Interesting question, but I think you'll be hard pressed to find many large, popular projects still using large amounts of load-bearing assembly in the-year-of-our-lord-2022 since compilers have gotten very good and we still really c
