Please stop shining the light in HN's blind spot; it doesn't like it when you do that.

Not really; link training and initialization for PCIe devices is really complex. A lot of motherboard bootware, even from reputable vendors, tends to handle obscure conditions by s…

The same place ACPI tables come from. A flash chip on the motherboard.

Correction, the first link was to a vendor who does in fact sell the obscure connector : https://www.moddiy.com/products/Special-Mini-Low-Profile-ATX... I'm just elated I finally f…

This model clearly makes a much better search engine than google/kagi/bing/etc. I've been searching for an obscure connector -- the 8-pin connector you'd find on the cable that del…

From https://nitter.net/ESYudkowsky/status/1718654143110512741 Comp sci in 2017: Student: I get the feeling the compiler is just ignoring all my comments. Teaching assistant: You h…

Well it is a rug pull.

When you have the baseband source code, you can remove the part that allows the host to read the EEPROM MAC address. Replace it with a random number generated on each request. Then…

Because SMS delivery exhausts location data, but dedicated TOTP devices don't.

This is why you use ath9k hardware, folks. You get the source code that implements the MAC and management layers so you can see exactly what they are doing.

Because they can. They are one of the CVE gods, so they can veto issuance of CVEs against their products. That kind of power means you can move as slowly as you please.

Layer 4 is the lowest layer of the OSI model that isn't packet-based (i.e. can handle messages of arbitrary size). IMHO that's the highest layer of the OSI model that is useful. Af…

Yeah; as somebody who was taught the OSI model at university, they basically straight up told us to ignore the OSI model above layer 4, and to treat the remaining stuff as a starti…

"All models are wrong, some are useful". People refer to the OSI model because it's useful, and can be explained in about 1/30th of the text needed to produce this rant. Why not pr…
