   Won't removing the Microsoft key prevent UEFI option ROMs from PCIe cards from loading when Secure Boot is enabled? Is it even possible to install firmware containing an oprom resigned with a custom key onto, say, a modern Nvidia GPU,

   This reminds me of the old joke from Annie Hall , Two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such

   This sounds like a sensible policy for Meta and the basis for a good argument against media consolidation for everyone else. Win win.

   I agree, though I use Violentmonkey instead of Tampermonkey because open source, and uBlock Origin because rewriting it as a *monkey script is somewhere between "Implement a MIDI Machine Control interface to my turntable" and &quo

   Thanks for this! I've been using it for less than a minute, and it has already exceeded my expectations: Installed, opened the raw view in the GitHub link to the dark mode style linked to above to copy it into the clipboard, and was pl

    Correct. CADR is an AGC assembly directive defining a "complete address" including a memory bank, in this case a subroutine to be called by the preceding BANKCALL (TC = transfer control, i.e., store return address and jump to su

    Living in Indianapolis (higher homicide rate than Chicago, but not drastically so), I feel the same way. And for non-homicide violent crime, you're probably more likely to get jumped on a side street near a bar district than you are in

    You’re not entirely right or wrong. Memory access is frequently a bottleneck on modern CPUs, so reducing memory footprint can often be a time and space optimization. More importantly, unlike demos, production code is often optimized for int

    According to that site, Robert Kennedy's speech on the night Martin Luther King was killed[1] was almost entirely the product of GenAI, as were both of Obama's inaugural addresses[1][2]. By this logic, I'd venture a guess tha

    Yes, and to the the extent that you can do the same thing with Windows, it tends to be unsupported (field stripping desktop Windows to its core) or not viable ([legally] using embedded or server versions of Windows as desktop OSes).

    Programs that manually allocate and deallocate memory to store "huge amounts of garbage" can easily incur more memory management overhead than programs using garbage collection to do the same. If a Java application requires an ord

    120 FPS vs 60 FPS is definitely noticeable for desktop use. Scrolling and dragging are night and day, but even simple mouse cursor movement is noticeably smoother.

    My only experience with Flatpaks is on Fedora Kinoite and Silverblue, so YMMV. Flatpaks are updated at the same time as the system with the GNOME and KDE update GUIs, or in one step from the command line with "flatpak update" (or

    If you're pointing out a problem without offering a path through it, that's not contributing. This is bullshit. Having a solution to a problem has absolutely no bearing on the value of pointing it out. What if someone else who h

    AFAIK no first-party IBM PC ever had a turbo button, only clones, and my only personal recollection of pre-286 clones running significantly faster than 4.77 MHz were the Compaq Deskpro and AT&T PC 6300. I don't know about the PC 63

    I don't understand. You're proposing a future where bugs are replaced with entirely new sets of bugs instead of fixed? This sounds like one of the worst possible uses of generative AI that doesn't directly result in the loss

    For gaming, lots of things can affect Thunderbolt eGPU performance. First, you need to connect the display directly to the eGPU rather than to the laptop. Second, you need to make sure you have enough VRAM to minimize texture streaming duri

    I've been using a Sonnet eGPU box with Nvidia GPUs (1070/3070) on an Intel NUC for about 5 years, and it works great. One nice thing about the Sonnet eGPU boxes is that they use standard SFX PSUs that are inexpensive to replace if

    For that matter, you could amend the Constitution to change the process for amending the Constitution, even to eliminate the possibility of future amendments altogether.
