It can be valuable on devices *you own* with servers *you own* when the devices are not physically present (or even if they are). You can get PCR values and decide if the device you are talking to is tampered with. That way, you can set a h

Exactly, remote attestation is only acceptable on your own devices with remote attestation servers that you control. For example, it would be completely fine to implement remote attestation where devices issued by companies to employees ver

Am I the exception? When thinking I don't conceptualize things in words - the compression would be too lossy. Maybe because I'm fluent in three languages (one germanic, one romance, one slavic)?

How exactly is this "reducing the security level to those of passwords"? For example: you can't use a passkey on attacker's web site even if you have a plaintext copy of the private key.

And especially not run the script while it's downloading. The remote server can detect timing difference (let's say the script has "sleep 30" and the buffer fills) and send a different response (really easy if using chun

Subpixel rendering works completely fine on Linux. I'm using it right now, using "full" hinting and "RGB" subpixel rendering. It even works completely fine with "non-integer" scaling in KDE, even in firefo

I had the same experience: no one knew of my mentors what "dynamic programming" was and our country-level competition (that had created problems inspired by IOI) required dynamic programming for 2 out of 5 problems. And of course

The two parts of your statement don't go together. A list of potential output tokens and their probabilities are generated deterministically but the actual token returned is then chosen at random (weighted based on the "temperatur

KDE is that. The two things I don't like about it are: KIO integration with GTK apps even with kio-fuse installed, and not having dbus based configuration system like gsettings/dconf.

IMO, to be a good programmer, you need to have basic understanding of what a compiler does, what a build system does, what a normal processor does, what a SIMD process does, what your runtime's concurrency model does, what your runti

QT is sightly better, but not much: you have QtStyle, QtQuick styles, and separate Plasma styles.

WiFi 6E works fine on OpenWrt, it's just that there are only two routers supported in ToH SmartRG SDG-8733 and SDG-8734. It works out of the box (I tried just as a test) on my MT7922 (RZ616) card in my PC.

Nitpick: it can be if you redefine numbers and/or operations. Math is not science (but is used as a basis for science) and you can yourself redefine what 2, 5, + and = mean, and use that new set accordingly. Just like you can make &quo

The worst thing with their store was the 3rd party review and signing process. For a time you also had to pay (a lot more than $99) to receive a developer certificate.

To saturate 2.5Gbps in a single direction with WiFi 6/7 modulations with 2x2 MIMO (most phones, tables, laptops have 2 antennas), you need a (total) channel width of 200MHz, and that's for devices in the same room as the AP. If yo

To anyone reading: please don't use repeaters. If you can, hard-wire all your wifi APs.

Only a part of the value is created in OpenAI's stock valuation. Most of it is still a ponzi-like scheme.

This is a great story. Hopefully it encourages others do the same. I have done a similar thing a few years back for another cheap router that had a new revision.

And it's not correct. Resulting frequency due to random noise is also changed, but in FM, noise is less perceivable. There is no such thing as "affecting amplitude" and "affecting frequency" - they are not separate

No, that's the most inconvenience you can cause. There are worse things you can do: target specific people with spurious orders, cancel everything they order, or if you want add random items to every order, making the entire system use

Intel sells two versions of their WiFi cards: ones ending in 1 use CNVI protocol and work only with Intel chips. These are sold really cheap to OEMs; ones ending in 0 use standard PCIe and are sold to OEMs for ~$10 more. AMD decided to bran

As a contributor to OpenWrt it makes me wonder why don't people differentiate between OpenWrt and various proprietary vendor SDKs. No one would have referenced Fedora if there was a bug in Nobara.

You are not "simply using" an internet browser. You are using an entire (browser) OS in itself on a 4x pixel count display with antialiased text, transparency, blur, scaling, video compositing... The OS itself is using additional
