From my understanding, a lot of code in the graphics drivers is special-case handling for specific games to optimize for the way that the game uses the APIs. Is this correct?
In which case it would make sense to have the game-specific code loaded dynamically when that game is launched, since 99.99% of the game specific code will be for games that the user never runs.
I used Ubuntu from version 8.04 to 18.04 and not once did I have a successful upgrade between major versions. There is always something that gets broken to the point that a reinstall is necessary.
It’s not reading the contents of RAM via EM emanations, it’s using the EM emanations caused by certain memory access patterns as a side channel to exfiltrate data. Of course, that data could be anything, including whatever is in RAM, but the point is that you need to be running the code that generates the necessary memory access patterns to transmit the bits of data. This is not like TEMPEST where you can reconstruct a video display just using the emanations.
Is there something significant about this release, or are we just going to have a post every time every piece of software releases a new version?
Slightly OT, but for these instructions that do pick range of bits, add, insert into range, does x86 have dedicated silicon in the ALU to implement this process or is it implemented in microcode? If it’s the latter then how can it be faster than the equivalent unrolled instructions on a RISC ISA?
This is more of a general question about how microcode can be faster than using separate instructions, which is something I have never quite understood. Any CPU engineers that can enlighten me?
So that would make it 1.4m in the last two weeks which makes a big difference.
It would have been nice for the article to actually discuss these specifics. I’m not sure what we’re supposed to take away from it.
He doesn’t actually do the calculation required to give an estimate of what that number is.
Going on the stats in the article:
that would imply ~1.4m Steam Decks sold
The article does go on to say:
Keep in mind that by November last year, Valve said the Steam Deck had already sold “multiple millions”.
So really this (very rough estimate) is telling us nothing that we didn’t know already. The top seller charts are showing exactly what we would have expected to see.
Is it really a virtual machine? It’s running from a container, so it’s just a containerized desktop exposed over VNC, right?
Is it actually running its own kernel?
From The Fucking Readme
FTFR:
What happened
The code that was previously here has been taken down at AMD’s request. The code was released with AMD’s approval through an email. AMD’s legal department now says it’s not legally binding, hence the rollback. Before anyone asks: I have received no legal threats or any communication from NVIDIA.
What now
At this point, one more hostile corporation does not make much difference. I plan to rebuild ZLUDA starting from the pre-AMD codebase. Funding for the project is coming along and I hope to be able to share the details in the coming weeks. It will have a different scope and certain features will not come back.
Were you using an antivirus program on Windows?
Edit: for the benefit of people downvoting this question: missing executables sounds like the behavior of an overzealous antivirus. It’s a relevant question to ruling out what may have caused the issue.
Totally wrong conclusion of the article.
I can’t read the article, its full of non topic stuff.
hmm
if I share some rice I made
FYI: rice is derived from a racist pejorative term. A lot of people in the desktop theming community have stopped using it.
You could try VanillaOS 2.0 Beta which is a Debian-based immutable distro, planned for final release later this year.
This takes me back about 20 years.
That’s kind of true, but MacOS and Mac OSX are 2 different things
Then Windows 3.0 and Windows 11 are two different things, so by that metric you can’t include Windows either.
Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)
