They've been delivering that vacuous promise every few years. Being bought by Canyon Bridge, a private equity fund owned by the Chinese government, a few years ago has unfortunately not changed anything.

Blink is the name they gave the fork of the webkit core.

Haven't they been promising that since about 3 years? As far as I know, that never materialized.

That means PowerVR, most likely. Bad news, no useable drivers ever existed for mainline linux kernel for any PowerVR CPU

The page is horrific though. 2 meters of scrolling for 7 sentences and 3 pics.

The processor maybe, but what about the e.g. USB3 controller, WIFI, etc, that can also freely snoop around your memory. Are there even open USB3 implementations?

Rather well for the Batman, using any underlying type of transport technology/protocol like 802.11s, RSN-IBSS, wired links!, etc. These days, batman is absolutely painless to setup in Debian and OpenWRT, and works great. (Only caveat i

The "disable_lar" option enabled "iw reg set" to override what the eeprom stupidly forbids, until linux kernel-version 5.5, when the nice people @Intel removed the option without an alternative, that doesn't mark yo

I'm betting more on "replaced". E.g. When they switched to Webkit, they didn't opensource Trident. How many people would notice, if the next version of windows used CUPS running on the WSL2 backend with a nice small GUI

Component by component, it would look like. And it makes sense to replace components with tried and tested open-source solutions to reduce internal maintenance burden for components with low visibility/profitability. When was the last

You'd then have forks pretending to be "secure" wrt things like Protected-Video-Output-Path, widevine etc. Sort of like Magisk for Windows. Disney, Netflix and many others don't really like that. And you'd have vers

That probably means 500 with VAT in Europe, no? ;) Btw, your link give me a 403.

Realtek and Broadcom are both also in my "Don't even consider"-List for most uses because of the extremely bad driver situation with both of them. Intel Wifi joined this list for most use-cases. I'm quite happy with my a

Does Intel really have chips in 2021 that can finally support standards like 802.11s(mesh) (finalized 10+ years ago) and RSN-IBSS with SAE/WPA3 using encryption with MTU allowing encapsulating standard 1500 ethernet, on 5Ghz, along wit

Their original price was probably 500+$. They were for HP server boards originally. Perhaps they recently EOL-ed an entire series.

Does the AMD Jaguar GX-412TC SOC really handle full Gigabit with non-trivial rules and/or SQM? Also the 6W is the minimum, it goes up to 10 under load.

the opposite: UUIDs make things less predictable. And in many situations this is very good.

by stragies 6y ago
Among others is that predictability of behavior of systems makes analysis and/or attack easier. Also "plain old sequence counters" in clusters of (heterogeneous) hardware makes distributing (floating) tasks more challenging.

I thought, that there was an unwritten rule on HN, that you don't mention closed-source, subscription-based software behind an email registration without making those down-sides abundantly clear? Don't enable the next Solarwind.

Depending on your job description, you might see that as a feature .... BOFH: "Oh, the user connected an unauthorized USB device; let's see, how it handles 20V"

I greatly enjoyed the article, love the Shellys too. +1 also for Homeassistant. Just wish (minor point) the author had chosen a font-color with more contrast to the background, like a slightly less pale shade of grey.

Possibility to (re-)introduce binary_only, closed_source hw driver modules for the fuchsia kernel? And still get to use all the goodie from GPL userland.

I also thought that, but then somebody here mentioned (in another topic), that the RK3388 from Rockchip runs entirely blobless. I'm having trouble digging up that post, but i'm sure I did not dream it. I'm hoping that stateme

Debian (and probably others) ship emacs with xwidget-webkit support specifically disabled for "security" reasons. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=914568 The argument there sounds like &quo

Whenever I read comments like this, I think "Why is he trying to use a 10+ years old Ubuntu, or similar"? Or do I just make way luckier buying choices? Suspend to anything has worked flawlessly out of the box for my devices since

Can't this concern be easily alleviated by the backend requiring credentials, and sending them along from the frontend? Getting around this as an attacker means already possessing enough rights to not need sniffing the traffic to the b

Do you happen to know, if the RB2011 will be stuck on the (dead-end) ar71xx release, or whether somebody is working on porting it to the newer ath79 platform with LTS?

Take it a step further: Remap CapsLock to be 'Escape' when pressed&released, and 'Control' when held. Easily configurable under Linux with xcape, and (iirc) karabiner for Mac. For Wayland there is also a tool.

I enjoy learning every day. And -generally- I'd like to know, where my knowledge has limits. You seem to care, and claim to be wise, so please, do enlighten me, where I'm wrong. We may be misinterpreting, what the other one is try
