It would be so easy to link those 6 reports. One more report I can find is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/12yq4yb/megathread_for... But they said they didn't enable EXPO, which is direc

I am only aware of 2 examples, the one that was posted on reddit and is now apparently being shipped to GamersNexus, and Der8auer, who didn't even notice pad discoloration (so may not have even been caused by an overcurrent event). I

I think this is a bit of a stretch from tomshardware, as if you actually read the statement https://i.imgur.com/pM358j6.jpg it doesn't actually say what the problem is, or even that there is a problem. Just they releas

Ugh, this has exploded on reddit and through a game of telephone seems to have turned a couple of anecdotes, a single photo of a damaged chip, speculation from users and media and a statement saying "We're aware of the reports and

Yeah, looks like the Q_strcat(pszContentPath, "/"); is invalid, as glibc has only allocated exactly enough to fit the path in the buffer returned by realpath(). The compiler seems to completely inline the strcat and write the

that's exactly the sort of error you get if something has written just out of bounds on a malloc'd chunk - it clobbers the allocator's internal state, which appears to be what that assert() is checking. It's probably an

I've generally heard that the two major successful architectures today are the most complex RISC in ARM, and the most simple CISC in x86.

There's already multiple ISAs on SoCs, think GPUs, DSPs and the like. And the execution environment of each is different enough that they really have to be treated as different architectures anyway, even if they are all "Based on

Counting github repos is too dependent on how projects or organized to be anywhere near a useful metric - especially as one of the major advantages of open source is integration to the corresponding open source projects, like the linux kern

I don't think it'd be illegal at all. I think a number of people misunderstand that the reason why a lot of companies have a "Don't talk about why someone left" de-facto policy is because if there's any ambigui

I saw it as an attempt at popular outreach, a puff piece for a rather niche philosophical view. If it "goes above the head" of the people it's targeted at, that just makes it a poorly written puff piece.

I'm not sure if Open Source is broken, so much as the expectation to monetize anything is guaranteed. Most new businesses fail too. Just because you've created something doesn't mean it'll always be monetizable. I&#x27
