You could but: - you need to handle booting - this is relatively easy as they use UEFI or coreboot respectively, both of which work fine. Some others using uboot are harder to support as you need to load the device tree definition manually.

Apple's chips are faster than all ARM competition per watt. The only competitor coming close to AMD Ryzen 6800u has better performance per watt (within 20% of Apple's M2) [0] while Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 [1] has about half. [0] https

It is not different. The plants are different, but the energy spent is not that different.

While I completely agree that growing plants has at least 10x less impact to environment, it is not just "grow plants". You also have to use fertilizer, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, spend energy (from fossil fuels) to dri

They are a "right-wing" litigation group. But if you think everything "right-wing" is wrong (their stance on fossil fuels, gay rights, abortion is not my cup of tea), you need to step out of the echo chamber. "left-

Two monitors 3840x2160 at 30bpp (10bit HDR) at 120Hz is about 33Gbps so that can fit in 40Gbps USB4 supports. With Display Stream Compression 8k60 is probably doable.

You are correct in saying that ISA doesn't matter. The only difference is that it is easier to do 8 instruction parallel pre-fetcher on ARM or another fixed length instruction architecture than on x86_64, and decoding more instruction

How will the gap widen? 8 instruction parallel decoder will give Apple single core performance per watt, but other than that I don't see what Apple does differently. M1 Pro 10 core is their best performance-per-watt, and Ryzen 6800U is

A simple HashMap works fine for blocking IPv6 /56.

Look at what Intel is doing with MIPI IPU6 webcams. The solution already exists.

https://musicbrainz.org/ existed at least from 2003, and it does a similar, although a less impressive job. There are other apps such as SoundHound, and even some virtual assistants have the same feature.

Android has an option to allow tethered devices to use the VPN, and it works fine on my phone.

The word you are referring to is "čuda" or equivalently in cyrilic "чуда" pronounced "chuda".

Airtime fairness helps a lot but if a 11b device connects, you automatically lose 1/3 of the throughput even when that device is not active. 11g can also slow down others but only a couple percent. Also, if you disable 11b rates you ca

Only authentication will not be offloaded, actual data encryption still is. The only exception is if your driver doesn't support management frame protection (802.11w). Then, if your AP has 11w enabled or you are using WPA3, it will use

FreshTomato I think uses old kernel versions (2.6.xx) where security fixes are not backported. OpenWRT uses modern kernels (5.10) and mainline or external open source drivers but doesn't work on Broadcom devices.

It is far away from transparent. Devices behind the router can't know that a change in Public IP happened and won't reconnect active connections. One example is Apple's APNS and Android's GCM. In IPv4 multiwan network, a

This only correct for the router itself. Not for any devices connecting behind it.

UEFI Secure Boot doesn't completely protect against physical attacks. If a person can turn off and turn on the computer, they can replace the currently active UEFI bootloader with a shim app, enroll their own key. They can then run any

UEFI is not proprietary. EDK2 is a complete UEFI implementation licensed under the BSD license.

I saw first hand a situation where a local municipality did a public procurement for printer ink, and since there are no software patents in law, the best offer that won was for a compatible (non-oem) ink. This ink worked fine at the time o

It is not just for booting. UEFI has Runtime Services that an OS can call.

Yes, that's true. I even contributed one feature to mpv. It was easy to port some features regarding VAAPI post processing - extra deinterlace modes and correctly handling bottom field first videos that Kodi had, but mpv didn't at

Yes, this is exactly what Apple has done - created Rosetta that handles Linux ELF binaries, translates code and syscalls.

by zekica 4y ago
The main reason for segfaults is that not all syscalls (syscalls on linux are different per architecture - not even 32bit and 64bit x86 use the same) are implemented in a 100% compatible way.
