We only get 200 GiB for that price in the USA - I was surprised they offer so much more over there

Wait - you can get 1tb for £2 there?

I wouldn’t mind as much if it was that price.

It stems from companies being too cheap to get people work phones, but still wanting them to be available

We were taught about OpenMP in like 2012 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP

Intel’s TBB was also used some, but not as frequently https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_Building_Blocks

For what it’s worth, it seems like it’s this “journalist” trying to make a sensational headline

The researchers themselves very clearly just tried to see if it could happen in our reality

“We decided to look at the probability of a given string of letters being typed by a finite number of monkeys within a finite time period consistent with estimates for the lifespan of our universe,”

I was reasonably certain, but left it open in case OP knew of some edge case where flags that are intended to be machine independent caused bugs on different architectures

-O2 vs -O3 adds -fgcse-after-reload -fipa-cp-clone -floop-interchange -floop-unroll-and-jam -fpeel-loops -fpredictive-commoning -fsplit-loops -fsplit-paths -ftree-loop-distribution -ftree-partial-pre -funswitch-loops -fvect-cost-model=dynamic -fversion-loops-for-strides

I don’t think any of these optimizations require more modern hardware?

I’ve used Matrix since the app was called Riot.im and there was no encryption

I didn’t realize once encryption was added, that there were still metadata leaks as compared to Signal

Could you give me some information on what metadata is unencrypted, or point me towards documentation about that?

For historical info - Oracle bought OpenOffice and started to close it down, so all the developers that worked on it forked it into LibreOffice

Oracle has since given OpenOffice to an open source group, Apache, but the main development still happens on LibreOffice

Yeah. The crowd rooting for Qualcomm has never worked with them

ARM has it’s problems, but they aren’t in the wrong here

Every carrier lets you use an unlocked phone on their network

T-Mobile no longer lets you buy unlocked phones from them

Microsoft has agreed to purchase all of the power from the reactor over the next 20 year

https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/20/microsoft-taps-three-mile-island-nuclear-plant-to-power-ai/?guccounter=1

The original reporting sounded decent - Microsoft was spinning up a decommissioned reactor, everyone wins

This new reporting of they can’t afford it makes it seem like a bad idea in its entirety

If your speedometer/tachometer is a screen instead of dials, it’s extremely likely it’s running Linux, too

So still somewhat useful in the auto space

I’d used Linux a bit out of curiosity in the Windows XP era

Windows Vista came out and was completely unusable on the computers I or anyone around me owned. It was also harder to configure than Linux and the new UI looked worse than the Linux UIs at the time

So I switched and haven’t been back to Windows since

If an attacker gets access to your system, they will be able to ensure you can’t get rid of their access

It will persist across operating system installs

However, this requires them to get access first

How does one flash a ROM without unlocking the bootloader these days?

Shouldn’t that break Android Verified Boot?

A pure GSI image could use a Google key, I suppose, but others shouldn’t, right?

The summary here and in the paper isn’t very helpful to check what CVEs are relevant

The kernels referenced aren’t supported, and it says the issues were reported upstream

Checking some of the references of the paper, it says

By the time we posted this writeup, all the distros have patched this vulnerability.

Do you know what CVEs users should check against?

Isn’t #2 the only option?

Websites specifying color for foreground (or background) and assuming browsers will use whatever color they’re expecting for the other has always existed, and still exists

If you’re getting fancy and specifying colors, you can’t cheap out and not specify all colors

If the browser ignores all your colors at that point, then it’s displaying as the user intended

If you only specified some of the colors, it’s a bug of the website

The even crazier part to me is some chip makers we were working with pulled out of guaranteed projects with reasonably decent revenue to chase AI instead

We had to redesign our boards and they paid us the penalties in our contract for not delivering so they could put more of their fab time towards AI

It’s a strange suggestion after very recently working closely with openSUSE to ensure Leap can use the same binaries as SLE, though
