No one wants window management in the kernel, so yeah, the assumption is that there is one master that decides what buffer(s) are scanned out. That said, DRM is the only way to use the hardware compositors found on many mobile chips, which

Ehh, this is counting 1.7 billion mobile users for VP9 but not HEVC because of mobile Chrome installs. It's hard to take this serious when it's counting software decoding on mobile (if Chrome will even decode it on a lot of those

You can buy a $50 SBC today with 4k HEVC decode HW blocks, enabled out of the box. For me, that puts the technology deep into the established box, and last I checked, whoever is making the IP core for it neither the many manufacturers shi

This is like those dotcom boom "all shares" sales or two companies contracting each other to record revenue. No wonder they are both tanking if upper management is fully occupied playing valuation games and swapping chairs.

It's never been widely used for anything, so there is none of that pesky practicality to demonstrate clearly it's just the same old.

I mean, there is a way to do this stuff right. Look at RoHS; in comparison it's a straight up success story.

For the longest time, spammers and fake accounts on Twitter were just a name with a long ass random number on the end. I guess that particular cancer hit a local optimum where Twitter was pumping its numbers aka misleading the shareholders.

Those Tesla cars aren't collecting training data, that's preposterous. They have a mobile phone connection and some flash storage, so where is all this data going to? It's not going over the mobile link, you would need many m

Someone mentioned libgit2, and that is a good first step fix. There is no need to launch a process that calls libgit2 when you can call high-level libgit2 functions yourself. That already eliminates this problem entirely, along with all the

Because every straightforward way of running an external command on Unix involves fork(). So someone wrote that API not thinking much of it. Then shock horror they realize running a throwaway command is fork()ing the main process. But now e

It's even worse. Gitaly is a program that takes loosely-validated externally-triggered requests and turns them into Git command lines to be exec()ed . So every API request transmutes its input into one or more Git command lines that

The system decides when and what to encrypt and decrypt on it's own, how is any of that related to the user? If the software can't be trusted it's not encryption, it's pointless. If you are going to pick a trust anchor,

Only the original, and the Zero(W). RPi2/3 use ARMv7 and ARMv8 cores, much more mainstream so easier to simulate.

That's because prior to being too old to drive, they didn't give a fuck about the public transportation system. Actually, even after being too old to drive, they happily continue to vote against public transportation. It's bi

If you don't want any of that, ride a bike. Of course all the fools driving in the city center make that a a rather perilous undertaking, which is why congestion charges like these are desperately needed.

On desktop you get the pie diagram and all other images blown up to full display resolution. I can't fathom how they continue to get this so ridiculously wrong. It's not difficult.
