One of the reasons that 8-bit AVRs are still popular is that the architecture was specially designed for C - compared to many other popular 8-bit microcontrollers, it has a C-style stack, lots of registers, and low latency for most instruct

On a laptop, I can trivially install a new OS on it, right from the OS vendor. On Android, the vendor needs to build the OS for me. Even with AOSP that's true, the Android driver model basically means modifying Android. Vendors are gen

In Sunnyvale, Amazon packages are already delivered to me by a plainclothes dude in an unmarked white van. It seems they have some other fulltime staffing of a similar operation here, so no reason to add Flex to the bucket.

You could always re-train the network on a different style of images if you have a huge set. The set used with waifu2x was probably easy to get due to pixiv/*boorus.

Also, the reason that you aren't getting the HTML5 player is because Firefox on Linux only supports MSE + WebM, not MSE + MP4. It has nothing to do with EME.

by TD-Linux 11y ago
MSE != EME. MSE just means they are using DASH to funnel video into the <video> element. Those video chunks are normally unencrypted.

"Just" video in HTML5 is actually trivial. You just put a video in a <video> element and you're set. Maybe put multiple resolutions in and a button to switch out the src. If you want the additional compression of VP9, y

Is there any evidence that they use EME? As far as I can tell, they don't.

As far as I can tell, iPlayer isn't using EME.
730.
by TD-Linux 11y ago
Yes. It sounds like they are not using EME, which is great! It means that it'll be much easier to support on all browsers in the future.

>None of them have subpixel rendering at the moment AFAIK Actually, most Rust projects end up using Freetype for glyph rendering, which does support subpixel rendering. Signed distance fields are great for animated text, but they also ha

There are already many open source implementations of GPS using SDR. In addition, most consumer GPSes just have firmware that does the SDR bit and output NMEA strings. There's literally no reason for the driver receiving NMEA strings t

I think there were hardware bugs on a lot of the Hikey wifi boards too. Mine always failed in the driver and I ended up using USB Ethernet after rebuilding the kernel. The onboard eMMC is also extremely slow, luckily it's easy to switc
735.
by TD-Linux 11y ago
Yeah, I had a similar situation on the Hikey 96board. I ended up downloading their kernel source and building a bunch of additional modules so I could get USB Ethernet, as the wifi was basically useless there too.

What do you suppose TLS 1.3 is?
737.
by TD-Linux 11y ago
It wouldn't. Stolen computing time is a negligible component of the current hash power.

All of the drugs mentioned in the article have had their patents expire long ago.

I would really prefer something like this to be a local library or something, adding another remote service in between negatively affects security and reliability. Especially in this case where there is no HTTPS yet.

Looks like that article got pulled?

The vulnerability has already been disclosed. I don't think this changes much.

Newer locks are designed to be hard to pick. If you have complete, destructive access to the lock, there's nothing they can do.

That's a bit odd, what browser is this? The fixed background should be handled by compositor layers, and while it is certainly more expensive than having a scrolling background, I'm surprised it makes the experience unusable.

It's more of an example of why widely distributed, irrevocable master keys are a bad idea. In addition, it's also an example of why end-user-owned but secret master keys don't work (see DRM). The picture taken was totally not

I printed the TSA007 key yesterday and it easily opened a TSA lock on hand.

The book just told you to mail in the registration card with strong language. I don't think it was legally enforceable in any way. There wasn't a license key or anything.

by TD-Linux 11y ago
That's correct, I even have a version of it for the Z80 Softcard on the Apple II. Even in that day, the license was still only for 1 CPU and you had to mail in a license registration card to be able to use the software (I don't th

Wayland does address basically all of the tearing problems assuming a correct GPU driver (all of the opensource ones). There are several different problems, all of which are solved: - Clients only provide complete buffer updates rather than

If you missed it, SpaCy is AGPLv3 as well. $5,000 a year doesn't seem so bad if you are doing something that can't work with the AGPLv3.
