With the exploits, you can try them and they either work or they don't. An attacker is not especially interested in analysing why the successful ones work. With the CVE reports some poor maintainer has to go through and triage them, w

The Indian government was actually a very early adopter, they had one of the first RISC-V processors that wasn't based on the vanilla Rocket designs, starting back in like 2016 or so. Unfortunately they made some other weird decisions

As someone from the Fedora/RISC-V project, it'll depend on what our users want. We cannot support both RV64GC and RVA23 (because we don't have the build or software infra to do it) so we have to be careful when we move. Doi

I'm confused about how open source DRM can even be a thing. Presumably once you've obtained one of these client identity files, you can modify OpenWV to capture the decrypted / raw video to wherever you want?

Also Irish citizens in Britain have the same rights as British citizens (even voting), plus all the benefits of EU citizenship too. Brexit made us second class citizens in our own country. Good job everyone.

The Z80 didn't even do 8 bit add . The ALU operates in two 4 bit cycles. I am now wondering if it's possible to put a ZX81 emulator on one of these microcontrollers. It would need to emulate the Z80 but you've got plenty o
