Sure would be great for, uh, paying ransoms I guess.

WHO CARES? Any cryptocurrency's monetary value is derived from exchange with the others — wasteful PoW titans like BTC and fraudulent wildcat banks like Tether. By participating in ANY openly traded cryptocurrency, you're partic

Maybe no single entity is literally in full control but large mining pools and the developers of the software both have extreme influence over the chain.

A cheaply made smartcard chip should be much easier to breach than the main SoC. Both because it's way simpler, older process silicon… and much more importantly because you have an external bus going to it. Now that the big consoles us

The whole "games console" context also comes waaaay after the chip was made — it's not a custom for-Nintendo chip! tegra210 was previously used in the Nvidia Shield 2015, then the Google Pixel C (also from 2015) and the Jetso

Global hash table on GPUs sounds cursed and perverted. What you’re meant to do with them is run the same computation on all pixels in parallel independently! :P

armv8 defines the registers for changing endianness too :) https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0024/a/ARMv8-Regi... Cortex cores at least do support switching endianness for data in userspace (SCTLR_EL

Yes, LPDDR4X in particular is rated for 4266 Mbps (at least that's the only spec available from https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dram/lpddr4x/ right now) while the top official JEDEC spec for DDR4

The only risk in memory overclocking is that it’s not stable and your data gets corrupted in memory sometimes. Which, well, who gave you a guarantee that it won’t happen on stock specs? Nobody without ECC ;) So run a memtest and you’ll be r

Time cost is dictated by the clock frequency and timings, not the physical distance itself. Lower distance may help with achieving better specs but Apple is not overclocking the memory , they run JEDEC spec. Maaaybe they train secondary an

> Remember how I mentioned that the schematic specified 2133Mbps? Well the LPDDR3 from my old mainboard was only rated at 1866Mbps Desktop DDR4 can be overclocked by a lot , surely the 1866 rated ICs would work completely fine at 2133…

ITX usage was never about trace length, it’s about having a 2-DIMM board for running 2 sticks – Unoccupied DIMM sockets are terrible! These days we have the luxury of overclocking boards that are 2-DIMM in ATX form factor.

Apple uses the exact same LPDDR4x that others route through the mainboard, in stock JEDEC spec, so they don’t really get performance advantages from memory on package.

> what gives it value is the person and context around who made it in the first place BS. That’s the marketing excuse. The real value is only in the fact that you can potentially sell it to a greater fool who will buy for more so you won

Hm, if "ToF sensors" are LiDARs.. why does only Apple market them as LiDAR? Why are all the "3D scanning" apps only for Apple's "Pro" devices? How come no one knows that some Android devices can do the s

No sadness for Dialog, I'll never forgive them for the utter abominations that are their cheap Bluetooth LE micros… Cortex-M0 with an SWD debug interface, this should be just like an nRF51, right? Hahaha, no, it's completely propr

Not sure how it is in the EU specifically but many new networks around the world do not have 2G (Jio in India is (in)famously 4G-only, Tele2 in Moscow is 3G+4G)

Don't try to use it directly, you need a higher level library. https://github.com/KomputeProject/kompute seems like what's taking off. There are also smaller ones like https://github.com/Glavn

I mean, this idea should essentially be a proxy to your Matrix server's SSO. This thing would be a Matrix client that uses Matrix's SSO support to authenticate in Matrix.

Traction with rich fools using "distributed" casinos to gamble their shitcoins? Absolutely no one in the real world uses any of this.

It's absolutely not desirable. Some people have capitalist brain rot.

I think the dev might be wrong — Matrix absolutely supports SSO, in fact the server I use (Mozilla's) DOES NOT support password login AT ALL, I can only log in through OAuth.

Wasn't the term "web3" actually coined (ha) by the ethereum shills? Yeah, these "browsable torrent" systems do not really need this. Well, they need something for name registration and blockchain of course wants t
