Slightly modified, since microsoft is the sole gatekeeper of which software can be run on their heavily subsidized (anti competitive) hardware.

Well that's bad news for anyone hoping this driver would ever be upstreamed, linux requires real identity for participation.

Of course it's a problem, this is a way for microsoft (and it's customers) to side-step it's (their) competitors software licenses (contracts).

Youtube staff needs to be completely gutted, and the site should undergo a complete overhaul. It's damn-near inoperable on non-chrome browser and that does tend to create a monopoly... edit: I can't even use the site without overr

Lol: microsoft is about to destroy themselves with copilot (the damages have already been done). Their government welfare program (22 billion for AR beta test) is already a failure. Nobody wants to use windows 11 unless they are forced. Sti

Indeed it is nonsense, web scraping (DMCA archive exemption) and DVR's (time shifting) are both well established as legal practices. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/25/business/media/court-upho.

Two things: I don't watch streams NOR do I play videos higher than 720p. Will the number of ads I see be an accurate reflection of my overall load on their system or will everyone be subjected to this 5->10 commercial barbarism? If

They love their DRM. This won't stop programs running outside EA's view of "kernel space". Total waste of time, and opening a new side channel.

30% seems a bit off, though yeah dense metal magnets in transformers and speakers are probably what keeps these products >= $100. Transistors, etc, are cheap as hell though. Some of this assembled gear is thousands of dollars and beyond,

This "security" feature confuses the hell out of me. HOW in the sam hill are they going to prove every process running with privileges is in a "secure" state, how can that be possible? Even with constant wasteful memory

That may be true, though the problem with releasing such a high profile exploit is that it's patched quickly. So IMO anyone with access to hardware / talent required to crack the xbox is probably sitting on that knowledge and extr

>The cost is tiny for enormous security. Security and x86? I would maybe not hate this if there were a stipulation that these companies must move beyond x86 with a completely new architecture, something more reasonable for the modern era

You can multiplex optical signals, though im not sure exactly how that would be harnessed. If nothing else, at least a few times more possible throughput?

The driver runs in ring 0, and talks over PCI bus to some blackbox that is running random source code your web browser just compiled...

buf is a pointer to a pipe_buffer array, this whole function wreaks yes, but i don't think this is a simple "initialization would have fixed" bug buf = &pipe->bufs[i_head & p_mask]; i think it is a problem with mer

Liquid piston engine (basically an inverted rotary/wankel) can run on hydrogen, also fuel cells, checkmate. Not even going to click the link. Is research even a thing anymore? Petrol is the cult, you've got the whole headline back

It's always fun to read peoples drive-by opinions about the only decent language IMO. Ada is highly compatible with C code. For dynamic allocations with "ownership" there is the concept of memory pools which CAN use a GC if t

what i tell myself is that it's because ipv6 uses 128 bits, vs ipv4 32 bit addresses. so its 4x V4 addresses. Still makes little sense, but at least it's something, heh.
