the "irrational dogma" you speak of is simply the status quo in all other civilized countries.

road to hell is paved with good intentions. one could argue it would've made browser vendors fix their bugs, but with the side-effect that any behavior that isn't bug-compatible with IE becomes a bug. this would've ironically

Speaking from experience, that is miles ahead of living on the street.

I can't say I agree with you here, if anything FPGAs and general purpose microprocessors go hand in hand. It would be an absolute game changer to be able to literally download hardware acceleration for a new video codec or encryption a

Why not? The firmware was already public at one point. If people are analyzing your app to find an S3 bucket full of firmware, I'd assume they'd have a pretty good reason to go through the effort.

Doesn't matter really, keeping blobs hidden doesn't actually do anything except make it slightly harder to analyze the software. Making all blobs easily and readily available is exactly what I want the vendor to do. Black boxes do

I agree with you in principle here, but to play devils advocate, $1,000,000 isn't a whole lot of money. A worker will make around that much at $25,000 a year over 40 years. If we have to keep money/capitalism, the limit should pro

That's because the data is inherently flawed. The poverty line this year is $15,650 for an individual. That's not poverty, that's destitution. From personal experience, living in WV, you cannot survive on that amount of money

I'd argue it's probably time to drop 32-bit x86 support, but the rest of this stuff is arbitrary and doesn't have any tangible benefit except conveniently providing hardware manufacturers with an excuse to unload new hardware

Here's a significantly more credible (stacksmashing) video that demonstrates how ineffective some TPM implementations are. If the TPM was integrated into the CPU die, this attack would likely not be possible. https://www.you

I've looked into this fella before because he didn't pass the smell test. He's running a grift selling schlocky cell phones and cloud services. His videos are excessively clickbait-y and show minimal understanding of the actu

Halium is a hack around crummy vendors doing sub-par work. It is technically impressive but it doesn't resolve the underlying issue that the crummy vendor kernel will never be updated. Saying that Halium is not a good enough soluti

I own one of these devices (pinephone) and it is legitimately not good enough for day-to-day use (despite the incredible efforts of the people who are working on it's software). I only use my phone for locally-stored music, text-only w

This is a red herring. They're obviously being silenced because they just obtained evidence that Burger King is recording and algorithmically analyzing every customer interaction to ensure that their wage-slave employees say "You

If you like the KDE tools, Kate is a pretty good replacement for Notepad++. It's a very fast native Qt program with a familiar look and feel.

The ROMs on these old boards typically don't have the driver needed to speak NVMe. Can't load your kernel if the UEFI doesn't know how to talk to your drive. This patch adds a driver to the ROM that allows it to natively acce

I don't know if this is cheating, but there were a few NES games that had extra RAM on the cartridge. Pretty easy to do as the cartridge slot directly breaks out the data and address lines from the CPU.

This leads to an interesting philosophical debate about where the line to "cheating" is. I'd imagine the NES is more than capable of handling HTTP. I own a small managed network switch with a Web UI (and CGI) all running on a
