On the other hand, even with CPUID spoofing, if a DRM wants to check that it's running environment is sane, it would not surprise me to see timing consistency checks (if huge spikes occur at some point of time, it may indicate the proc

I know. I simply wanted to highlight the likely cause for parent's message downvotes, as none of the downvoters did it and things went quite sour in the sibling thread.

I may be mistaken but I recall reading several times that even though you can choose another app as the browser, all those apps are forced to use WebKit as the engine.

BakaBT still has the three torrents uploaded in december 2003 that the article mentions, and they are still up and well. 25 more between Jan.1 and Apr.30 of 2004, all alive as well. Though I don't know if it is a good indicator. Even t

If the code in question was standard code, this would not be such an issue. However, it is code that runs with all the privileges, and is therefore the one where security issues would hit the biggest. That is even more true as this code man

You don't expect it. But if they were to publicize the result of the inspection, promote it and after the said inspection, start manufacturing plutonium safes, you probably would not be happy as a buyer. (I know plutonium is not a good

Failing inexplicably does not mean that it failed because of the issue talked about here. It could as well be bad contacts or soldering whiskers. I'd prefer a USB stick that does not fail too, but in fact, I have never had any fail on

Now, I feel dumb for not noticing the "+ 1" was not needed. Completely forgot 1e300 would not map on a factor of 2, thanks for the correction.

For the case of those USB keys: Would you prefer for everyone to bear the seemingly high cost of having such a system, whereas you probably never had a thumb drive fail nor know someone that has ? (You may, but if that's the case you a

No need to even go up to this point. Numbers that are too different are enough 1e300 + 1 will be equal to 1e300. And it would still be even if 1 was added 1e300 times.

For France, the root cause for the lack of specialist in some zones is actually not that they aren't paid enough (a generalist, for instance, seem to have it's lower bracket above the median income for a family, and an average tha

I'm all for FOSS, but I fail to see how saying something like "There would be no problem if you accepted to release it with a less restrictive license" differs from saying that to a GPL library developer because proprietary c

Then you will (probably) get malwares that open a window in fullscreen that imitates that prompt and sends data to a server. You probably could add some kind of fingerprint that allow identifying the legit prompts, but since it is not done

One issue with cycles is that the results you will get may not reflect what end users, who probably have throtling enabled if it is made to run on laptops or desktop computers, will experience. All instructions do not have the same thermal

There are several differences between the two: - Vending machines don't stop displaying what they sell to show ads - Vending machines that were not designed by monsters show you things that are not in stock anymore, this thing does - V

I completely agree. Did not see it was their prosumer brand. Makes more sense when one takes it into account.

Lenovo kind of does this with their Legion laptop brand. Those are sold for the "gamer"/"enthusiast" markets, so they don't have the premium support you get with pro ones (Though you can get an upgradee where t

Oh, sorry, did not know this was their mobile workstation line. Makes sense, then. To be honest, considering we're talking about Dell, I must say I'm nearly surprised they did not put a DRM in the BIOS/UEFI to forbid using mo

Well, in this case, they both get to install the RAM themselves and to pay for an even more overpriced markup.

Maybe the title should be changed to something like "Optimizing 70% CPUs away with Rust" ? As it is now, it is quite clickbait-y as you don't have any idea of whether it is 700 out of 701 or 700 out of 70000.

How did you get to this result ? (I'm not claiming this is the real look it will have, simply wanted to check the metodology) Simply counting the number of colors in the image does not seem a good idea since even with a real photo, a s

Is applying Moore's law relevant, since the manufacturing process of DRAM is hugely different from the one for usual chips (limited by capacitor size, not transistor one) ? Same goes for hard drives. Not saying that price gouging has n

Well... With this, in France, we now have the three big services owned by sony, and each makes you pay 5€/month. Don't think that because they bought Crunchyroll, they will merge rights and subscription. Why would they, that would

Wells it's a niche, for something where the entry cost seems high. I recall some low-estimate of how much a 25 minute episode costs that was around 80k$ for entry-level quality. It's hard to know if that's right, but if it is

Japanese animation blu-ray are often, as strange as that may sound, even more overpriced: After a quick look, Perdona5 seems to have at least 10 boxes. Not ridiculous since they tend to contain 2-3 episodes. But each is 6600 JPY. That'

As a french, not quite fan of this... We have only three big platforms for anime streaming (outside of Netflix, which catalog is still small here). One of them, Wakanim, was acquired by Aniplex, which is owned by Sony, years ago. The second

You're right. My bad, I went way too far with this message.
