I am surprised the current US admin hasn’t banned Xiaomi from using TSMC’s high end nodes. For a second I thought this was 3nm from SMIC.

Would love a threadripper for my video editing/encoding hobby. But unfortunately, I can’t justify the price.

Easier to leave batch tasks for overnight processing on my aging 5800X.

Fascinating article. We don’t really get these types of attacks any more. It’s all professional criminals or nation state actors.

I wouldn’t trust Zuck-Zuck to clean up after my dog, let alone anything more complex than that.

I don’t think this is a Google thing.

We have working cross-carrrier RCS in Ukraine. No one uses it though.

I found the article to be rather confusing.

One thing to point out is that the video codec used in this research (but for which results weren’t published for some reason), H264, is not at all state of the art.

H265 is far newer and they are already working on H266. There are also other much higher quality codecs such as AV1. For what it’s worth, they do reference H265, but I don’t have access to the source research paper, so it’s difficult to say what they are comparing against.

The performance relative to FLAC is interesting though.

Just some super basic index stuff. Day trading style strategies is not my type of thing.

Ah I see. I thought you had equity and wanted to cash out during the IPO.

I don’t get all these discussions about “charitable purpose” and so on. It’s pretty clear that this is oligarch run institutions and the individuals involved are likely incapable of understanding the concept of “charitable purpose”.

Are you an insider? Or why exactly are you waiting for their IPO?

Wait so ASUS’s Armoury Crate software handles ASUS drivers and this DriverHub applications handles non-ASUS drivers?

I am surprised they went as far as mass shutdown of mobile internet in so many large metropolitan areas.

Seems like they are being paranoid. I don’t get the impression we have the capabilities for a big strike that would have immense symbolic impact (e.g. on the military units taking part in the parade in Moscow).

Was this posted in self-hosted because the term is vaguely associated with the concept of getting pregnant?

Looks very much like change for the sake of change, or be more specific, change for the sake of promotion.

This is really good point. The internet has been completely taken over by American oligarch gangs, on an outcome basis it’s not too far from internet censorship China (just implemented via alternative means).

Had to remove spam and some overly obnoxious shit-posting a few times.

e-greeting cards

Haven’t even thought about them in what seems like a quarter of a century.

Sure, but with China everyone more less knew this. The US has used up the last benefit of the doubt that they had in the past 5 months.

It makes sense for Chinese smartphone OEMs to move away from the Google version of Android. In the medium to long term you are setting up yourself for failure if you are reliant on an American company.

Unfortunately, the United States cannot be trusted.

F-Droid has the potential to make a much a bigger impact on a relative basis. Most people with still use default app stores, but I think F-Droid still has a long way even among semi-technical audiences.
