Since this is a portable battery-powered device, rather than first pushing to open-source the DDR training blob, which is non-resident in memory after it's done it's job and a fair…

An NPU with no driver support in the main Linux kernel, only in a vendor-provided fork containing dubious-quality drivers: https://forum.radxa.com/t/lack-of-concern-for-security-in…

This is higher-level than the Hypervisor framework; this Virtualization framework providers an entire VM with virtio peripherals including a display. https://github.com/lima-vm/lim…

The ClockworkPi products, particularly uConsole, look like a reasonable modern equivalent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33331139

I assume by "new API" for VMs on macOS you mean Hypervisor.framework, which is supported by qemu 4.0.0 and xhyve, both open-source. I wrote a blog article about using qemu with Hyp…

Generally the SoCs used will have a separate video encoder IP-block that's not part of the Mali GPU. For example the "Cedar" video engine on Allwinner SoCs, Rockchip's VPU, Samsung…

Instead of hiring enough humans to review the content they make money from, Google's approach to catching this stuff seems to be doing a global search for videos with "CP" in relat…

Not totally certain, but I believe it'd be used if a userspace program used the Linux Kernel Crypto API, using a socket of type AF_ALG. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.11/crypto…

In the UK there's an app available, https://gett.com/ , which is very similar to Uber but hails regular, licensed taxis.
