Yes, Surface devices have this problem. It was a frequent occurrence for me to put my Surface Book into my bag and later take it out completely dead or hot and drained.

I think this is a good idea. Like a physical disconnect for camera and mics. At some level, I just don’t trust software, especially nothing as complex as an OS, to do the right thing 100% of the time. Although frankly I’ve never had issues

This always happened with my Surface Book, a flagship Microsoft made device. I could never trust it in my backpack. WTF msft.

Your last two sentences contradict your first two. He says several times that he carefully donates his laptops.

I just wish any big company offered a password manager.

by darzu 5y ago
One thing that is really holding back a “passwordless” future is that no large companies are offering a password manager. No one does, or really should, trust the tiny companies that do password managers today. If say LastPass had a major b

From a game developer/player perspective: there’s a crazy amount of complexity in connecting between two computers that wouldn’t need to be there in an ipv6 world. See all the NAT, TURN, STUN nonsense that webrtc has to deal with: htt

For Azure Sphere OS’s user-land components we opted to use EASTL b/c of its small footprint. I don’t recall any major issues arising in the two years I worked there.

Yes, depending on the organization. Me and many others I know used OSX exclusively for development, but some orgs use Windows-only internal tooling (e.g. the Windows team.)

Here I think IT more likely means Intuitionistic Type Theory.

They also invested early in preserving their nature and establishing parks. Additionally, all their beaches are public. It’s illegal to build a fence on the ocean. These have contributed to large tourism income.

An hour can move you 60 miles on the highway, which is likely at least 2 gallons of gas. So gas would be $6-8. $8.50 seems like a great deal.

I wonder how this would compare to a GPU accelerated GoL.

Yes. xbox360 games running on xbox one often run with a custom emulation layer that includes a bunch of monkey patch fixes to make the game work right.

Same as MSFT's with C#?

I’m pretty sure Azure Sphere used Pluton to do encryption for SSL. I don’t have any numbers, but one of the goals of Pluton was to accelerate crypto operations. But this was for a microcontroller context so I’m not sure about desktop/l

1. I assume this is not just for Azure Sphere since the goal when I was there was to be a low-cost, low-energy platform. Also the announcements make it sound like a general offering. 2. Pluton can check the signature of software before boot

1. Bare-metal 2. I only worked with the MT3620 so I cannot comment on others 3. Pluton would boot the A7’s Secure World which would the boot A7 normal world. Secure World and Pluton interfaced regularly but they’re fundamentally different

I think the whole idea here is that Pluton will be integrated inside of the same physical chip as the CPU. So physically swapping CPUs would swap your Pluton core too. But the Pluton I know of didn't really have any writeable storage.

by darzu 6y ago
In Azure Sphere, Pluton didn't do any direct network communication, that was all handled by the main core. Also there was no cellular so the whole system depended on user interaction to get online. When the main core wanted to talk to

I can only comment on the technical details I know of, not the business objectives of the parties involved. From a technical standpoint, Azure Sphere's OS was built on Linux. As far as I know, there isn't anything Windows specific

I worked extensively with Pluton when I was employed on Azure Sphere (an IoT platform marketed as highly secure and composed of a linux-based OS, ARM SoC, and cloud service). I might be able to answer questions about this. Here’s a blog by

Msft has all these as well. With Duo, they’re back in the phone game.

Microsoft should put out a statement clarifying this then.

This sounds great! Expanding on this a little: Seems like you'd need a universal CLI tool usage traverser and parser to figure out what's possible. Likely this would produce a decision tree of sorts with different modes and option

It depends on your use cases. I think it's a good thing overall. I like the iOS app model much better than the desktop model. I resent that desktop apps can basically reach into any part of my computer, take 20 seconds to close when I
