I never really looked into what they were doing with KPTI.

Assuming it’s accurate, that first one is a much better technical description, even if it was intended to spell FUCKWIT

nvtop, while it sounds like it’s nvidia, is brand agnostic It actually stands for “neat videocard top”

It’ll show per process usage of memory and compute usage on most GPUs

I think you agreed with me?

I said the people who say Linux is so hard are the people that have learned so much about Windows that it’s ingrained in them. So when they try to switch, they get frustrated that it isn’t exactly the same

The vocal people saying it’s harder have a lot of experience with Windows, and know how to work around all of its deficiencies after being a power user dealing with it for 15+ years

With that mindset and not wanting to start over, Windows is easier

For casual users or someone who’s willing to learn, Linux is easier

If they can take my unlocked device by force, they can probably also break my fingers to coerce me to unlock it See also: https://xkcd.com/538/

Randall is right in pointing out you need to consider your attack vectors, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take reasonable precautions

Most people are more likely to run into the type of attack OP references than someone who can break LUKS encryption stealing their device

My naive reading is the difference here is HP slapped a discount sticker on it without changing the price.

Where Kohls, et. al. set the price extremely high and then always have it “on sale.”

Now, how companies get away with doing the same thing for Black Friday, no idea

I wasn’t confident which requirement you were missing, but I love that error

That’s already how it functionally worked for each major release

Here’s their previous strategy: https://web.archive.org/web/20220917195332/source.android.com/docs/setup/about/codelines

Google works internally on the next version of the Android platform and framework according to the product’s needs and goals

When the n+1th version is ready, it’s published to the public source tree

The source management strategy above includes a codeline that Google keeps private to focus attention on the current public version of Android.

We recognize that many contributors disagree with this approach and we respect their points of view. However, this is the approach we feel is best and the one we’ve chosen to implement for Android.

As far as I can tell, this would really only affect QPRs, since the public experimental branches that get made after they throw the next release over the wall is going away

Oracle happened to it

All the devs went to LibreOffice after that

I agree, but the wording of that is imprecise…

Google reimplemented the same API (which should be legal) but “use” sounds like they called Oracle’s implementation of the function

Oracle tried to argue that writing your own virtual machine with the exact same same interface as theirs (even a clean room reimplementatio, or an improved version) was copyright infringement

If Oracle had won, it would likely have killed things like OpenJDK, WINE, Proton, Rosetta, etc. and would have made licensing around OpenGL/Vulkan very confusing (for a few examples)

Kind of seems like they simply installed this dude’s tarpit from a few months ago

I agree, but unfortunately, this has become common since Heartbleed, and they seem to be able to sell their snake oil to CTOs…

The article is a security company trying to hype their company with a theoretical attack that currently has no hypothetical way to be abused

The article has an update now fixing the wording to “hidden feature” but, spoilers, every BT device has vendor specific commands.

The documentation of the part just wasn’t complete and this companies “fuzzing” tool found some vendor commands that weren’t in the data sheet

The China part just came from OP

If they’re being shared as disk images, basically every Blu-Ray has an embedded Java program, also

A safe would make more sense for an encrypted partition or directory

Hardware. There’s a load value predictor that guesses the value of a load from memory

Matrix as a protocol, and the official client is Element.

I’m baffled Signal didn’t support transferring chats… I thought it was supposed to be easier than Matrix

It’s magnetically attached and can be used wirelessly, so the thumbnail is showing off that feature
