32-bits is hard. I keep a Vaio P around out of nostalgia, but my options to keep it working are increasingly disappearing. Chrome OS Flex won't run on 32-bits, Arch 32-bits is a now a second tier distro at best (most AUR packages are n

There's very little incentive to adopt Linux as a kernel given how popular Microsoft is with consumer grade OEMs developing for the WHQL driver program. That's one point of competitive advantage Microsoft would be nuts to let go o

Won't 'winget upgrade --all' do the trick for you?

I like an I use scoop alongside winget after many years of Chocolatey, but there are many packages not available through scoop, mostly because there isn't a viable portable way to install them. Also, scoop does nothing to take advantag

You may or may not have realized that you only reinforced the previous point.

The guard clauses remind me of the compile-time verification done by Microsoft's Spec#[0] compiler, which included non-null types, checked exceptions and throws clauses, method contracts and object invariants. Some of those saw the lig

Relevant perhaps is the fact that Google folks just came out of a promo cycle, which is run by a committee. Folks I talked to seem to agree the process is utterly broken, so this is about the time many will decide to jump ship.

Love that you're picking up a new language, but that sentence sounded oddly specific. It's akin to saying I'm learning Australian or British English as opposed to just English. Yes, there are vocab and sometimes grammatical d

Ugh, I have a half-height Marantz A/V which struggles to drive my 5.1 B&W 600-series speakers. Since moving to my new home, where the couch doesn’t face the wall, I was inclined to ditch the set up and get Arc+Ones. It looks fantas

Good point H-mode != H-extension. H-extension is very much still alive, afaik, and that is what I referred to.

Do you happen to have a link to this discussion? I couldn't find anything associated with the spec commits on [1]. One of the aspects folks were looking forward to seeing is the specification of the 2-stage IOMMU, which S-mode or other

The following is speculation on my part, so I'm inviting discussion. To some extent it feels SiFive is trying to turn RISC-V into ARM by locking it up in patents while at the same time holding the keys to the ratification of the variou

There’s enough rage from other members to cover Linus and then some, just follow the thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YHiMyE4E1ViDcVPi@hirez.programm...

It's called promotion-driven-development. It's a quite popular methodology on big tech these days ;)

Is there an IOMMU specification standardized on RISC-V yet? I think it's just some early proposals. Or proprietary designs that achieve similar functionality such as Hex Five and WorldGuard. Am I right?

ThinMatrix, creator of Equilinox, is working on a city building game. Too early to tell how different it will be from SC, Skylines and the like, but it's at least interesting to see his progress: https://www.youtube.com&#x2F

What's a good equivalent for fan control that is universal, lightweight and open? Do people use https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases ?

That screen looks like a good candidate to recreate the Vaio P form factor.

Greetings! - Was Pluton based on an RTOS or is it running on bare-metal on top of the M4? - Is the architecture on the i.MX8-based Sphere the same as the one on MT3620? - Does the Security Subsystem running on the Cortex-A's secure wor
