These interfaces can be cute to play with, but there's a reason that fbdev is deprecated on Linux - it's not a good interface outside toy examples. wscons may be more powerful, but I don't think it can be used to fully enable

The "old" Apple certainly didn't ship anything quick or on the bleeding edge, nor did they ship the "best" experience. They did, however, have somewhat different priorities than their competitors. They still do to s

Closed loop is the control method, "servo" describes an assembly of a servo motor and its controls. Good closed loop stepper controllers are a huge step up (heh) from open loop control, but there's a big difference in charact

Relying on an explicitly documented implementation behavior that the specification explicitly describes as an option is not an issue. Especially if the behavior is only relied on in a test, where the worst outcome is a failed testcase that

True, Microsoft can't be expected to make software that is good for the sake of being good. Maybe they'll consider now Microsoft looks bad on their own - OPAL2.0 on modern drives is quite a different beast than what they pulled ou

The inelegant approach increases risk by relying entirely on the OS being sure that the key is never recoverable from memory on clean shutdown, and on the firmware ensuring that all used RAM is sufficiently wiped in all unclean scenarios. W

by arghwhat 2y ago
Fair enough, but I'll still hold that wiping all system RAM is a comparatively dumb and slow solution even in this specific scenario. :)

It was two entirely seperate vulnerabilities. The Crucial drive did not have any association between the encryption key and the passphrase, making it possible to bypass encryption. The Samsung drive had an issue where when setting a passphr

The intended output is, in essence, a wide-angle photo but with much greater detail in the center as if that portion had been taken by a telephoto lens and placed on top like smartphones do - but with no offset like smartphones normally dea

All SSD's with OPAL are always encrypting your data. "Enabling" the feature just means that you change from a random on-device key to a key encrypted with your passphrase. (Whenever you wipe the drive through OPAL, you&#x27

Quite dumb considering this was an issue with pretty much a single, low-cost consumer vendor (Crucial?). If nothing else, use it in combination - the encryption of OPAL drives is always active anyway, all that changes when the feature is &q

That's a very stupid mitigation as you can mess with RAM during the overwrite. Heck, see how Team Tweezers originally exploited the Wii. The real mitigation is the memory encryption feature of modern CPUs. Being on-die means tweezers w

nit: All wide lenses also capture a "telephoto" image in the center. The only thing a telephoto lens does is to spread that image out over the whole sensor. Maybe their lens is variable focal length, providing more magnification i

To be fair, toolkits do come with full multiplatform renderers with capabilities not too dissimilar to a browser these days - see gtk4 and Qt for example. It's a lot of work for toolkits to replicate what browsers have spend ages getti

It is very nuanced, but it's important to realize how small the power budget is and how just tens of milliwatt here and there make a huge difference. To get over 12 hours of battery life out of a 60 Wh battery - which isn't impres

It's actually not at all free, even if you're barely using the shading capacity. The issue is that you keep the power-hungry shader units on , whereas when truly idle their power is cut. Battery life is all about letting hardware

No, damage tracking is important as it about reporting that you only updated that spinner, which means that your display server also knows to only redraw and repaint that area, and in turn that your GPU knows during scanout that only that

Just make sure not to get caught in the pitfall that is maximum render speed, which can lead to missing out on efficiency during slow and partial rendering. Missing damage tracking, always painting everything (even when the window is a full
