The documentation was locked away behind NDAs when the faulty BIOS leaving it reachable was discovered. Look at the publication dates.

Yes there is a harmless explanation. The VIA C3 is a fairly simple CPU design that cracks x86 instructions into an internal simpler instruction format. Some complex x86 behaviour i…

They really want people to get e-ink license plates don't they?

Strange choice to go for a raycaster with sprites on the N64. The hardware is basically begging to be fed textured polygons.

This is a common pattern a compiler should recognise and optimise into an efficient data and control flow. So much for a sufficiently smart compiler. shrug

I wonder who wants the Norwegian gov infrastructure between a TLS terminating proxy service

What's wrong with using BFD for IP over Ethernet? You can put whatever control plane you want on top from simple static route priorities to full blown eBGP and everything inbetween…

DES doesn't accept 128 bit keys. It's native key size is 56 bits which was commonly extended to 168 with 3DES (encrypt-decrypt-encrypt).

One of the reasons Japan uses wood for construction is that combined with their traditional building techniques it results in earthquake resistant buildings.

Because those lazy chemists have stopped finding new elements to use instead. /s

What make it even dumber is that following their block lists is voluntary for ISPs. The CUII is just a cabal of ISPs and intellectual "property" holders.

It's easy to beat up on OpenAI and Anthropic, because they have lots of money and knowingly broke the law, but writing the book was onetime work too. Do we really want to turn ever…

You wouldn't hold the postal service accountable for delivering CSAM or a bank for offering storing it a lock box would you? So why should cloud storage services be different? Stop…

A window manager / compositor is one of the few things where I can see this making a lot of sense. The alternative of using an IPC socket for everything would be more complex and r…

SSE or AVX?

Revocation should include inflation compensation to make it always a loss for the revoking party. That they won’t have an incentive to cheat by „selling“ movies without having a pe…

This sounds a bit too good to be believable. Do they ask the reader to believe it's 100% reliable and their code magically just knows what CASM looks like without looking?!? All wi…

We need a [slop] flag.

Sounds more like crawling instead of running, but at least it’s moving.

IIRC the Cray 2 was offered in a 1GB configuration by the mid 80s.

By that logic OpenOffice would infringe on Microslop Office because "it looks the same" (as an older version of M$ Office).

That's cute.

Fuck them with a rusty chainsaw dipped in manure.

Removing it required AMD's firmware code signing keys. If an attacker has those and some time they can do much worse.

Which encrypts each cache line with a key unknown to the attacker. This means an attacker can't target individual bits. Every change affects at least one AES encrypted block. It's …
