I know a (non-PhD) researcher who moved on after one of those labs closed and sadly he finds it impossible to get a research job again. Academia is his only option but he'll have to earn a PhD before getting such a job...

> global identity (pubkey based) Pubkey based is good, but a global identity is a recipe for disaster. Ideally, you derive a unique identity per domain, while still managing only a single (master) key pair at the user-level.

The FSP source code is supposedly leaked as part of this, which is used to initialise the memory controller. Are we closer to (modern) blob-free Intel platforms?

I wonder how soon we'll see ARM64 based Hackintosh builds. Like on a Raspberry Pi 4 or one of those ThunderX2 workstations.

Emulation performance can vary drastically depending on the application. Some programs might run with unnoticeable penalties, while others run dreadfully. It's not just about having a suitable CPU though, it also relies on a good softw

I think it's often easy to unknowingly use or rely on a proprietary extension, such as in Visual Studio or even a particular browser's features. When an extension requires you to get out your credit card then this isn't possi

Depends on the ARM processor and which x86 CPU to compare with. For example, a high end ARM CPU translating x86 code could compare well against an Intel Atom.
