IT'S NOT HBM! NEITHER IS APPLE'S MEMORY! Stop spreading this myth, please just look at a Vega GPU die shot and you'll know what HBM looks like. You cannot put HBM on a PCB package. HBM is connected with a silicon interposer.

RISC-V has some bad ISA disadvantages like needing three (!) instructions for array indexing: https://gist.github.com/erincandescent/8a10eeeea1918ee4f9d99... Isn't Mill eternal vaporware?

It's extremely hard to out-campaign Chrome's campaign of being pushed via google.com and youtube.com , unfortunately. Though I'd like to see Mozilla try more promotion channels like video sponsorships, maybe go heavier in re

That's how Google used to do things back in the day! I still don't get how in the hell could personalized ads be more profitable. All I've heard is the "we'll keep showing you ads for toasters after you bought one b

Firefox's behavior here is massively better. Why in the world would anyone actually LIKE the tiny tiny icon-only tabs?!

Today RISC just means an ISA is fixed-length load-store. No uarch implications.

When nothing is changing, you do not have to touch the GPU . Yes, without Panel Self Refresh there would be this many bits going to the panel at that rate, but the display engine would keep resubmitting the same buffer. No need to rerender

HBM isn't just "soldered near", it's connected through a silicon interposer rather than a PCB. Also we know it's not HBM because the word "LPDDR5" was literally on the slides :) > just make many paralle

I mean, "arse" would be used where Americans usually say "ass", to mean "butt". But not instead of saying "butt", right?

Is it so hard to use an adapter to USB-C? These days wireless earbuds are probably more popular than wired for mobile use.

Come on HMD, couldn't the design be closer to the original? These "revivals" so far look way too different.

Plus implies it's not the original. The original started in 2013: https://github.com/panicsteve/cloud-to-butt/commit/c518a1317...

I thought "arse" is the UK alternative to "ass", not "butt"?

It seems that the linked chromium change mostly mentions CORS from plaintext unsecured HTTP to local addresses. Why would this thing rely on that ?

I wouldn't go any cheaper than stm32f0. Specifically there's STM32F070 for USB.

That's just an alternative option. You get Xsolla if you click "more payment options". Amazon Pay is the default.

Looking at amdgpu_ttm, for '"On-card" video ram' it sets TTM_PL_FLAG_WC, so that would use ioremap_wc, that's not device, we have it as WRITE_COMBINING which is actually WRITE_THROUGH. So yeah normal mappings might

If that is the next logical step why would they go out of their way to design a whole mechanism for running custom kernels? They could've just released a locked down Macbook in the first place if that was the goal.

iOS devices never advertised support for booting whatever you want; Macs always did. Very, very different product lines.

Why are they even doing crypto at the NMVe level?! Why is it not good enough for them to do it at the filesystem level (like ZFS native encryption) or at least block device level (GELI/dm-crypt/etc)?

BitTorrent was published in the same year as the original DHT protocols, and they kinda had nothing to do with each other until four years later (according to Wikipedia the Mainline DHT was added to the mainline client in November 2005).
