My assumption is that because “the state claimed the rights” for that specific book makes me think this is a special case in their laws

Can a US state or the federal government claim the right to someone else’s writing?

The Netherlands use the same copyright laws?

I always assumed that was just the US copyright system

I can’t say for all of them, I just knew that e.g. the z790 chipset still ran the ethernet phy, audio dsp, SPI, their version of TrustZone, etc through the chipset

If you have the block diagrams for the laptop ones, I’d be curious

I enjoy that they literally did. The article says the OTA update is just to ignore a hardware sensor

Which begs the question, why was that sensor needed originally?

I haven’t looked that closely at laptop CPUs

My guess would be partially because there are fewer possible interfaces, and they’re directly connecting the CPU to a separate Ethernet/WiFi MAC, USB hub controller, and audio DSP rather than having a separate chipset arbitrating who’s talking to the CPU and doing some of those functions?

For most intents and purposes

SoC is from the embedded system development world - as more and more coprocessors were being put into the same chip to consolidate board space and power efficiency, it wasn’t “just” a cpu - it had the CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and other coprocessors in one

x86 has moved a lot closer to this architecture over the years, but you still generally have a separate chipset controller on the motherboard the CPU interfaces with

Which is why they’re trying to make their own now

The design/manufacturing of a chip is separate from the lithography machine itself

This is the first lithography machine Russia has built. They’d be getting the 90nm ones probably from ASML

I wonder if development has actually accelerated, or if this is just a change in the approach to the release/versioning process

Both.

Development has increased, but you should use your comparison from the last 2.6 release.

It stayed on 2.6.y for 8 years - that was where it got stable enough that there wasn’t some major milestone to use as a new marker for its update number

There are cool new features, but if it followed the old versioning scheme, we’d still be on 2.6 because it hasn’t (intentionally) broken the API between the kernel and userspace

Wait. He lost a finger or toe???

Edit: more seriously it’s been since 3.0 after being on 2.6 forever

there are no special landmark features or incompatibilities related to the version number change, it’s simply a way to drop an inconvenient numbering system

It used to only get bumped after a major new feature update, but it was stable enough at 2.6 that it got stuck there for 8 years, so he switched to a different update number

That’s probably why he was salivating at hiring all their developers when the OpenAI board members fired the CEO

I’m so curious to see how a Qualcomm gambit plays out for Microsoft.

With the ethos at Qualcomm being support a chip for 1 year, then move on, I have trouble believing they’ll update the drivers for a major windows release

Google browbeat them for nearly 10 years, and then ended up going with the majority Samsung designed chip called Tensor just to compete against Apple in years of updates

The comment over on hackaday pointing to it being bricked possibly being down to font licensing is funny if true

System on a chip. Think like a Qualcomm or Samsung processor, or the new M line from Apple

Yeah, and as densities have increased, fewer passes have been needed to even do that

I mentioned above, but it definitely tried to make absolutely sure by requiring the exact string

“Yes, do as I say!”

With punctuation and capitalization required.

They’ve even tried to add more protections after the video to make sure that’s what you meant to do

A big thing the other comments are missing is that just running the iptables rule only works for the current boot. You need something to rerun it every restart

ufw is a front end to make it easier to use them

If you want/need more control, you should look into /etc/iptables/rules.d config files

Edit: or depending on what your distro already has, the firewalld comment makes a lot of sense. E.g. that’s Fedora’s default front end

The funny part, to me, is that the command he ran was so dangerous that Pop_OS required you to type out the entire phrase

“Yes, do as I say!”

With correct punctuation, or it won’t continue

If it was just an “Okay” box or a “Y” to continue, I don’t think he’d have gotten as much flak for that one

With an HDD, your operating system can (mostly) directly access bits on the magnetic disks, so you can wipe them by just writing 0 to it over and over (historically, there was a paper saying 7 times would make any bits unrecoverable - this changed as density got higher)

With SSDs, your operating system has very little control over what bits a write is touching, a lot more was moved into the firmware on the flash memory itself

So SSDs need a special command “Secure Erase” to wipe them

Looks like it’s behind an about:config setting, media.webrtc.camera.allow-pipewire
