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.
That’s a huge difference, the estimate became 10,000 times smaller.
they can’t be jammed the way radio can.
I wonder how well these satellite laser links do with various types of cloud cover.
By repeating their rhetoric, even as a joke, it’s just giving oxygen to people who don’t deserve any form of publicity whatsoever. It would be better not to reference these batshit-insane conspiracy theories and then perhaps they would die more quickly.
This story is about French/space/communications/technology. Not American/politics/racist/conspiracy. Not one genre overlap, so there’s no reason to even bring it up here. Maybe leave these jokes to the American politics threads.
(Federated) email didn’t survive. It got completely subsumed by the major providers who now have control over everything email related. It’s now impossible to run your own email server since none of the major providers will deliver your email without your mail server having first built a reputation.
The fediverse analogy would be if 99.9999% of users were on Threads and you couldn’t interact with any of those users from any of the small independent fediverse servers. Frankly, that’s exactly what it looks like is happening.
Got a link to that?
Can’t wait to read about it telling someone to put glue on pizza.
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?
If it was plausible this would be bigger news. There’s a claim like this every couple of months and none have held up to scrutiny so far.

This is an interesting article and yet you’ve chosen to quote the most speculative unscientific part of it from the final paragraph.
“Have you tried going outside” is not a scientific cure for depression.

If you can reproducibly crash an instance then you should definitely file this as an urgent security issue in the lemmy repo so it can be fixed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues
Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)
