    Why should they support vulkan? what does apple get out of that apart from less well optimised compute and shader code, using more battery and producing more heat for the same outp…

    AMD have released patches (to reduce the near-zero risk of exploit to 0 risk) and they are not having any instability issues! so yes go with AMD for server, Epyic is now finally av…

    Reading over googles project0 page it reads as if they told AMD about the issues on 2017-06-01 why would they do this if it were meltdown only? also look at the exploit numbering: …

    Im really wanding they had more than 6months to do these patches and they did not bother testing on a good number of systems. Its not like MS + Intel dont have enough money to buy …

    i do see a lot of people believing the Alexas system is much better but int he end alaxa is just build up on regex. that is ok-ish for simple languages like English were the words …

    but a lot of this brain drain has gone to private security companies that then sell vulnerabilities to national bodies. (Like the one in Israel that sold a load of 0day exploits fo…
