Keys were stored on an area of the disc that wasn't writable on DVD-Rs so you couldn't copy the whole disc.

privacy, spying, forced microsoft accounts... Yep. That stuff makes money (via upsells) so it will never be removed.

AFAIK the existing Copilot features always use the NPU and do not fall back to the cloud. Given that Windows 12 will require an NPU I don't see why it would fall back either.

Solving boring problems has been conventional startup wisdom for a long time. And a "mundane" startup might be more interesting than traditional high-paying jobs like finance/law/consulting. https://www.joelon

wlroots came pretty late so there was a lot of code duplication between Weston/GNOME/KDE before that.

The CIA buys this data to track Putin's chef so of course China and Russia are doing the same to us.

It's just business. Buy (your data) for a dollar, sell for two. It's all legal and the data brokers are mostly unknown or already-hated companies so I'd say they have nothing to lose.

It's pretty common to run VMs within containers so an attacker has to escape twice. You can probably disable 99% of system calls.

A 9700X is twice the performance of a 9900K and M5 Max is almost 3X the performance. The megahertz myth is a myth.

Clients (apps) should still be async in Wayland; it's just the window manager that's tightly integrated. Wayland compositors should probably use some kind of fair queuing to prevent misbehaving apps from spamming the event loop bu

When the window manager is a separate process with async communication between the WM and display server things can get out of sync for a frame or two which leads to visual artifacts. In Wayland the window manager works synchronously with t

That's what the anti-Wayland people want: for things to work exactly as they did in the 90s. It's not an accident.

Yes, Linux was aware of the difference via ACPI tables.

Good point. I think I was mixing up the US paying for Ukraine to use Starlink with the US military itself using it.

LEO is pretty expensive. Smaller countries might be better off with cheaper Astranis GEO satellites.

Isn't virtually all military hardware and software single-sourced? Ultimately they trust the supplier and have good contracts. I imagine the US military is migrating to Starshield over time where they have a better SLA.

Starlink cells are ~15 miles wide BTW.

I know this is a meme but for those at home the whole point of a war is to cross over the front line into the opponent's territory and capture it. If your comms are disabled when you cross the front you can't really fight. So &q

the authors make a thing, aren't sure how to sell it, so they open source it and hope to eventually sell something peripheral I know it sucks but we need to admit that this doesn't work and we need to beat the hope out of people

Packets and sockets have to be stored in memory somehow. If you have a fixed pool that you reuse it's basically a slab allocator.

That was one of the problems with 6to4. If there was no gateway or it was overloaded or there was a gateway but you couldn't reach it because of a weird firewall, all your IPv6 packets would be silently dropped and you'd have no i
