There's a bug in Apple's EFI driver for BCM4331 cards present on a lot of older Macs which keeps the card enabled even after handing over control to the OS. A patch went into Linux 4.7 to reset the card in an early quirk, but I s

Porsche for instance isn't earning any money with their LMP1 race cars. They need them to sustain the illusion that they're a sports car company, despite the majority of their sales being SUVs (Cayenne, Macan) and sedans (Paname

LEDE folks have started to dump their patches on kernel mailing lists, but they don't seem to be mainline-able as is and the submitter is loathe to rework them: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=148230680302480&amp

BMW has a subsidiary in Ulm (BMW Car-IT) working on the next head unit. This will be designed and engineered in-house, at least to a large extent. Any opinion on that? The current head unit generation is apparently sourced from a 3rd party.

Yes, because the PCIe root complex in the CPU can only connect one other device besides the southbridge, and that's used for the Thunderbolt controller on the left handside. The second Thunderbolt controller is connected to the southbr

Business as usual with macOS. The other day I was browsing the ocspd source code. Turns out it calls openssl using system(). So openssl is officially deprecated on macOS and yet they're using it internally to handle certificates?! And

This is an issue in the kernel. You don't report this to the distro vendor but to the appropriate kernel mailing list. In this case the interface to user space is broken AND it's a regression, so it would be appropriate to cc: Lin

In German industry, there's plenty of angst that incumbents might be displaced by IT companies. E.g. Apple introduced their watch a bit more than a year ago and now they're dominating the smartwatch market, traditional swiss watch

I'm not surprised at all that BIND performs poorly, look at those graphs (granted this is for authoritative servers, but says a lot about BIND's performance in general): https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/blog/2013&#x2F

For this to be correct, all records to be resolved would need to have completely disjunct labels from the root down. Which they cannot if they are indeed in the millions.

Ugh, so public resolvers are flooded with requests? Wouldn't it make much more sense to set up a local caching resolver like unbound and feed your queries to it? It would be much more considerate towards the public resolvers and also
