Reuters just regurgitating investor-bait because they have no domain expertise. Maybe Reuters journalists should be getting some training from experts too.
Back in the 00’s we had to fiddle with ifconfig and friggin’ /etc/network by hand. Things have gotten a lot better.
I was just thinking that I’ve never had any problems with either WiFi or Ethernet connectivity since NetworkManager became a standard part of modern distros. Before that I was having to install windows drivers with ndiswrapper and configure interfaces manually in ifup
and ifdown
scripts, and I haven’t had to do that for at least 15 years now.
Isn’t it the Cloudflare bot detection page that says “Just a moment” (… while we check that you’re human)?
It’s probably because lemmy servers are constantly loading a bunch of websites to generate previews and Cloudflare decides that those clients look like bots.
I read the source code and this is a hobby-project that you could write in an afternoon with no knowledge of cryptographic protocols.
There are dozens of obvious deficiencies even to me and I am no expert in cryptography. An easy example to point out is that there is no input validation and no error checking or exception handling. Both the client and server just assume that the other side is a well-behaving correct implementation.
The author should not be posting this around as if it’s a serious tool for people to use. If anything it’s a starting point for OP to get advice from experts on how real systems do this properly. I’d recommend that the author spends a LOT of time reading before doing. There are numerous design documents of real systems and protocols, and some good comprehensive books too.
Intel’s assets are worth more than Intel’s market cap. That’s how badly they’re doing in the stockmarket, and also shows you how market cap is a fairly irrelevant indicator of a company’s value.
Sorry, there’s no way Qualcomm is buying Intel as is
At the end of its third quarter of its fiscal 2024, […] Qualcomm had $7.8 billion in cash and […] just over $23 billion in total assets. That means Qualcomm, […] is almost certainly looking at a stock-for-stock transaction. As of writing, Qualcomm’s market cap is $188 billion, just more than double that of Intel’s at $93 billion.
In fact, Chipzilla may not be worth much to Qualcomm unless it can renegotiate the x86/x86-64 cross-licensing patent agreement between Intel and AMD, which dates back to 2009. That agreement is terminated if a change in control happens at either Intel or AMD.
While a number of the patents expired in 2021, it’s our understanding that agreement is still in force and Qualcomm would be subject to change of control rules. In other words, Qualcomm wouldn’t be able to produce Intel-designed x86-64 chips unless AMD gave the green light.
The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.
Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)
Sorry for the reddit link, I don’t know of a mirror. This was posted just today, running on an EeePC:
The binaries in question are various GNU and FOSS tools from elsewhere, not part of the Ventoy project itself. So no, the Ventoy author does not own the copyright of the tools in question.
From my understanding, a lot of code in the graphics drivers is special-case handling for specific games to optimize for the way that the game uses the APIs. Is this correct?
In which case it would make sense to have the game-specific code loaded dynamically when that game is launched, since 99.99% of the game specific code will be for games that the user never runs.
I used Ubuntu from version 8.04 to 18.04 and not once did I have a successful upgrade between major versions. There is always something that gets broken to the point that a reinstall is necessary.
(Federated) email didn’t survive. It got completely subsumed by the major providers who now have control over everything email related. It’s now impossible to run your own email server since none of the major providers will deliver your email without your mail server having first built a reputation.
The fediverse analogy would be if 99.9999% of users were on Threads and you couldn’t interact with any of those users from any of the small independent fediverse servers. Frankly, that’s exactly what it looks like is happening.
Got a link to that?
Can’t wait to read about it telling someone to put glue on pizza.
It’s not reading the contents of RAM via EM emanations, it’s using the EM emanations caused by certain memory access patterns as a side channel to exfiltrate data. Of course, that data could be anything, including whatever is in RAM, but the point is that you need to be running the code that generates the necessary memory access patterns to transmit the bits of data. This is not like TEMPEST where you can reconstruct a video display just using the emanations.
