I actually have put that firmware on a MR2600, and it boots, not so sure about working well though. Screwing with OpenWRT and a vague sense it has a twin were my only memories of i…

The MR2600 is a rebranded (or same ODM) D Link DIR-882 with a different plastic case, but the MR doesn't come with a rear USB 2.0 port. The FCC photos for each are identical otherw…

Day of Defeat Source 2.1 just a week away!

There are states which are worse, but don't get as much press coverage. Louisiana is essentially just a a US state controlled by petrochemical companies, so portions of the state h…

Microsoft has the OpenCL, OpenGL, Vulkan compatibility pack. Major issue is that it's just Mesa compiled to a D3D12 GPU backend, so if you have anything but Snapdragon it's basical…

Without being hands on, it's difficult to make a direct comparison. There's 2 processors according to CNX [0], and the HP core's instruction set might roughly be comparable to M55.…

BC-250 had a standard set of SuperIO and Southbridge, and the PS5 has a duo consisting of a custom NVMe controller and custom SuperIO. If what is true from the PS4 is applicable to…

It's unfortunately par for the course for something like a console to be like this. Consoles are often subsidized by licensing and publishing costs of games, so preventing you from…

Judging by how every single TSA agent is horrifically trained and doesn't have a drop of care in the world, abolishing the TSA would be a step up from having it.

Kids are given those for free, so there's no responsibility for them to keep them in good condition. It would take a restructuring of laptops within the school system to kids/famil…

My understanding with Mesa is that it has very few dependencies and is ABI stable, so freezing Mesa updates is counterproductive. I'm not sure about Snaps, but Flatpak ships as it'…

I have to wonder if the Nintendo Switch picking up the Tegra X1 SOC has something to do with it. There's a good chance a lot of components of the (custom microkernel) operating sys…

RISC-V Vector is roughly equivalent to MMX, SSE, and AVX. A lot of tasks without those instructions are flat out slower without.

Thing about RISC-V is that there are technically no barriers on doing as you see fit, but there's very clearly defined lines where community support isn't guaranteed, like custom e…

Cache issues add another layer here, if it's not the whole issue. Device tree patches for the K3 have 2 clusters of 4 cores with shared 4MB L2 cache per cluster. Core 2 Duo P8400 h…

A TL;DR doesn't explain everything. The Milk-V Titan doesn't have Vector instructions or crypto, while the Pi 5 does. It's very clearly a broken benchmark. This is why a bunch of R…

Something is odd here, the Core 2 Duo only has up to SSE 4.1, while the RVA23 instruction set is analogous to x64-v3. I find it hard to believe that the SpacemiT K3 matched a Core …

LoongArch is a weird mix of MIPS and RISC-V. There's not much that would be gained by investing a whole bunch into LoongArch that couldn't also be done to RISC-V, if at all.

KWin/Xorg AFAIK has been on maintanence duty (i.e. fixes mostly come from XWayland) for >5 years now. KDE has expulsed the Xorg codebase of KWin into a seperate repo in preparation…

My 2 cents is that Geely could leverage their existing Volvo and Polestar dealership network much like KIA/Hyundai. Geely Holdings own ~80% of Volvo cars, and a majority share of P…

There's something to be said that mass production is another distinct stage of invention. Karl Benz may have invented the first internal combustion engine car, and plenty more buil…

That's a comical amount of pennies

$1M to the US Government is like dropping pennies, less than that actually. By the READMEs, this font is actually a modification to another font and more sleuthing revealed that th…

Part of making a typeface is making it subconsciously part of the brand. Though there's precedent for making a functional font in this use case as Airbus designed B612 for readabil…

Considering that the support tier where you get access to the testing suite is 150K/year, I don't think they will be spilling any beans soon.
