I've just used a little script that sets up https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice and it's worked wonderfully, but PulseEffects and NoiseTorch seem cool!

I'm pretty inclined to think any custom CPUs will be for Azure specifically. They already have some custom hardware (e.g. FPGAs, ASICs) for different parts of the stack like storage and networking.

I mean, they do provide the hooks via Hypervisor.framework. I'm not 100% familiar, but if it's anything like KVM then running a linux VM like that shouldn't have that much overhead.

For the same reason that the general dev doesn't have in-depth knowledge about every OS they use: abstractions.

lol no. Windows on ARM has existed for many years now. And running x86-32 apps on ARM has also been around for a while. This is just the public announcement of also supporting x86-64 apps on ARM (AArch64 specifically). This was in the works

I tend to have a notes.txt in different folders. One for each project, one for each bug investigation, etc. I'll admit I need to work on a better backup story

Most UWP apps should be easy to compile for ARM. Emulating x86-32 apps on ARM Windows has been a thing for many years and the further expanded x86-64 support is in Insider builds. Really the bigger issue is that the ARM chips Windows has th

BlackBerry also did this back in the day before it gave up on its BlackBerry 10 OS.

Also, with the proliferation of Clouds (and thus Azure), fixes for attacks targeting Windows (Server) also benefit Windows (Client).

KVM itself doesn't really do anything with clipboards. What's more likely happening here is that the RDP client used by this project (FreeRDP) supports the RDP clipboard redirection feature. See: rdpclip.exe running in the target

AFAIK I'm not sure you can make HFP sound better. Now some A2DP codecs do support a sorta backchannel to also allow mic unfortunately the support is not currently there yet in linux.

There's a patch for pulseaudio that allows bidirectional A2DP: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge...

> Microsoft doesn't really sell Windows upgrades anymore. Haha, no. There are _tons_ of business running old versions (xp, 7, 8, vista not to mention different builds of 10). There are also tons of people still using Windows CE who

Oh the backwards compat attitude goes quite far. Even to the extent that shims are added in updates just to make sure old apps keep working in cases where the vendor can't realistically update all client machines.

I recently updated some Rust code I wrote months ago (~April). In the 6 months since apparently its compile time went down from 6m30s to just around 4mins! I know there's been a focus on improving compile time and it's awesome to

Man, the condescension pouring off from the post. >So the fix is obvious at this point. Okay, fine, my bad. My code is wrong. I apparently cannot just hand a UCS-32 codepoint to isalnum and expect it to tell me if it’s between 0x30-0x39,

I really dislike how web.dev somewhat implies _Chrome is the web_. Maybe true at this point, but still sad.

What makes you think Fuchsia is vaporware? It's not general purpose but google is definitely shipping/going to be shipping devices with it.

An interesting history note: Rust used to have an effects system which included actually being able to annotate a function as pure.

> This also can change over time. For example, 15 years ago PHP shepherded you to include every file you were using explicitly, making it hard to reason about a given project if you weren’t the creator. Huh, that seems backwards to me? W

If you can run iptable commands or run bind you can certainly go to the Firefox options and disable/change DoH there?

Microsoft has long since had offices in Vancouver. It's only a few hours drive from headquarters down in Redmond. And another choice for employees that lose the H1B lottery.

Since Windows 10 1703/1709, if you have at least 4G of RAM or so, every service will run in its own svchost (for the most part there may be some exceptions). There's some registry key to tweak how much RAM is needed to trigger thi

The PSP as well had essentially a second CPU with some kind of programmable DSP for handling media like MP3 & MP4 playback. Some enterprising individuals figured out how to use it for general computation in the PSP homebrew heydays. I t

All the Windows devs I've met built locally on their machines for their own day-to-day dev work and testing. I don't know anyone that used a filesystem other than NTFS. But definitely fast NVMe SSDs and disabling Defender for the

Back around 2012 I was an intern at BlackBerry. My team had some test BlackBerry 10 devices, one of which I was using for my work. One day, I left for a late lunch or something and when I returned my test phone was gone. I looked everywhere
