No, Wine is not a container. The Windows application is free to make any Linux syscall with the privileges of the user running Wine. You shouldn't run an untrusted application in Wine any more than you would do for regular Linux applic

CEO of Nvidia: no need for coding anymore. Me: considering how often your driver crashes, you still need coding.

How does an eSIM work? Does it require any special hardware (beside the cellular radio, of course) on the phone or is it a purely software thing? If there is specialized hardware, is it a thing that can be later deconfigured/uninstalle

I can't know what they're doing, but it doesn't look like they're giving the lender any voting right. They're just borrowing some money and returning them in the following years. And I still can't see why this

They were already selling expensive seafood before, presumably with profit, why should that have changed? I imagine for a few years part or all of their profit will go to the lender while the pay back the loan. Then it's all for them a

Making profit is always a goal you achieve while doing something else: selling local seafood, writing software, designing chips, mining ores, whatever. So making profits and doing something else cannot be harder than just making profits. Al

Yes, leveraging Rosetta 2. Most programs should work, some might have caveats.

Really? They don't have anything better to do? What a poor career choice! In my naivety I had assumed that an exec's job was to help a company run smooth, and instead they have to sit through meetings all day long. Life is really

I'd rather solve this problem by organizing the work day so that it's not meetings all day long, rather than requiring people to go to the office to waste time in presence.

Vulkan? Are you sure? Last time I checked it was just only Direct 3D. For Vulkan there is only MoltenVK.

That's not convincing: such a technique could still be in use since quite long for less sensitive targets; or it could be used by less "responsible" actors. Again, it doesn't look like the kind of stuff that you need to

Honestly I've been wondering for years why this is not already happening routinely. Not that I hope it, but I would say that even right now move a small bomb on a drone and letting it explode close to a random target should be quite ea

Even if they take the stance that Linux is a terrible thing, forcing terrible things on their users is hardly a new practice for Microsoft.

That doesn't really align with the number of redistributable installers and "DLL not found" errors I've had to deal with during my Windows life. My wife's Win 10 system always boots to a "some DLL not found&quo

Nice project, very cool! A little note about section "Wine's implementation": the implementation described in Ken's email was never really used in Wine, intentionally (in vanilla Wine that kind of hack is not accepted).

I heard that the total wind power across the whole world is something like 20 times the total power humanity needs. So if we ended up doing this, we'd stealing some 5% of power from the wind, which is quite a lot. This itself could hav

So it should never do function inlining, or replace multiplication by two with a bit shift? Because both of them quite fit "invisibly modifying non-dead code during translation". > or it could do what you fracking told it to, c

Is that because AMD GPUs are technically inferior for ML, or because of tooling is only written for NVIDIA?

I guess the advantage of passing ownership to the trust is that you're not involved anymore. If you keep shares you know that at some point in your life (or at the end of your life) you'll have to pass those to somebody else or se
