It’s part of the MSVC x64 ABI, not a part of the kernel ABI. The kernel and user mode (Win32) APIs all use C linkage so vtables are not relevant and the ABI is a convention of the compiler not the OS. Practically speaking though if your sof

Firmware & systems dev here, ARM still dominates in the microcontroller space. There are some niche offerings from major vendors but again they are niche. Espressif is the sole exception with their newer ESP32-C series chips, but they c

The privacy points in general are valid, but what irritates me is using this rationale against kernel mode anti cheats specifically. You do not need kernel access to make spyware that takes screenshots. You do not need a privileged service

Actually, it is completely true. The TPM threat model has historically focused on software-based threats and physical attacks against the TPM chip itself - crucially NOT the communications between the chip and the CPU. In the over 20 year h

Technically yes, but it would produce an untrusted remote attestation signature (quote). This is roughly equivalent to using TLS with a self-signed certificate — it’s not trusted by anyone else. TPMs have a signing key that’s endorsed by th

No, this is not true at all. Microsoft requires their system vendors (Dell, HP, etc) to allow users to enroll their own Secure Boot keys through their “Designed for Windows” certification. Further, many distributions are already compatibl

Well, this project is literally about me circumventing/removing Boot Guard so I don’t know how it’s corporate authoritarianism. I’m literally getting rid of it. In doing so I get complete control of the BIOS/firmware down to the r

Yeah, but that doesn’t give me a reason to use the hot air station and hot plate collecting dust on my desk ;)

I have a slow burn project where I simulate a supply chain attack on my own motherboard. You can source (now relatively old) Intel PCH chips off Aliexpress that are “unfused” and lack certain security features like Boot Guard (simplified ex

Calling it a “kill switch” buries the lede here. What these politicians call a kill switch is technology to passively detect drunk driving. In 2021, Congress passed a law (HALT Drunk Driving Act) requiring NHTSA to eventually require auto m

This is conceptually interesting to me because I see this as almost a more generic TI Webench. I’m curious why your focus in the sized “grid” blocks (presumably for placement directly on the PCB layout) instead of doing the same but for the

I’ve been paying for Google Workspace for my custom domain for years basically just so I can use Gmail. For just $7 more dollars a month, I upgraded my plan to access Gemini Pro, which has guaranteed enterprise-grade privacy controls. I thi

Because Red Hat pays the salaries of dozens (hundreds?) of kernel maintainers all over different subsystems. So they’re subject matter experts, and know exactly which ones are relevant to Red Hat.

I have an almost identical story except the state in question was Nevada. I’m curious what “dubious” domain it was, for me it was video game cheats. Maybe I’m actually the co-owner you’re talking about. :)

Checking version numbers usually isn’t a good way of determining whether software on Linux is vulnerable to CVEs. Big distros (especially Red Hat derivatives) lock software versions but back port security patches. Reporting “vulnerabilities

Actually, VAC handles Cheat Engine and the like very well. You won’t get banned for simply having them open, only for having them attached to the game, which I think is reasonable.

I am exploring whether PCB prototypes can be imported tariff-free under HTSUS 9817.85.01. However getting a tariff broker to figure out how to do this properly might also be expensive.

I ordered an FPGA development board from China last month that unfortunately didn’t make it out of the country before tariffs/end of de minimis set in. So it’s now sitting in a consolidation warehouse overseas while I figure out what t

There are a ton of federal agencies that have the power to make regulations and then enforce them. This power is specifically delegated by Congress. It’s hard to imagine a functioning government without this. For example, Congress recognize

My go to on Windows is LLVM using the Windows SDK for libc. Before Microsoft had solved the whole msvcrt redistributable mess I used mingw-64 as the libc which worked pretty well actually.

Another vote for Micronaut. I’ve moved a Vert.x project to it recently. I love it. I will say though there are a lot of footguns and the wide variety of choices e.g. for persistence, views, etc make it hard to figure out the “right” way to

Depending on the frequency and source maprad.io may be more useful for identifying signals.

I’m one of those kids who have been programming since they were 10 years old. My biggest tip is to work on personal projects that you are genuinely passionate about or would use yourself. It’s a great way to experiment with new technologies

I just want to point out that Windows actually has similar packaging problems. For some reason, Windows didn’t ship with C/C++/.NET runtimes. So practically every app ships with either a copy of the runtime DLLs or an installer to

Back when Obama hosted an AMA on Reddit, a bunch of users added his account as a moderator to a bunch of subreddits, including some pretty objectionable ones. This prompted a change that moderators would be invited instead.

The DINB, as I understand it, is now closed and all assets moved to a new entity called Silicon Valley Bank, NA which is a “bridge bank” operated by the FDIC and should operate like any other bank does. Until another bank buys it.

Your ticket comes across as very confrontational. This puts the developer(s) into a position where they feel the need to defend themselves instead of acting collaboratively with the user to solve their problem.
