It's something else. Here it's US antitrust monopoly.

Google made deals with games and special contracts with other apps in order to kill competition.

This looks like scam email and Aliexpress products merged together.

Rather push by Microsoft instead of Google?

It was something else. Web drm : Web Integrity API.

Tho I don't think they canceled the mobile variant of it for apps.

This article is so much better than what was posted 2 weeks ago (https://lemmy.nz/post/2974266).

Now I do understand it better, tho still not perfectly.

So it can be used to manage hot spots in chips and semiconductors.

If you don't know why it matters, in one of these 2 videos (I don't remember which one) Der8auer discusses with an intel engineer the challenges of designing a chip, where to put the thermal probe and why some parts are designed like that :

Basically : the heat travels through the chip at different rates depending on the material distance... And finding the hot spot is very challenging.

So having better cooling where it matters can be a benefit for chip cooling and efficiency.

Now I don't know if this tech can evolve into something which can be used for this.

This post : When stupid people read company news

(great ceo choice, she has experience in communication, which is the main thing a ceo has to do for gnome. She doesn't need to do or participate deeply in development.

And shaman, well whatever, why do you even care?)

S takes. Intel is a new player with a lot less experience creating drivers for dedicated gpus and gaming.

So it's not about beeing "crap".

It's about beeing impressive that they still support their new linup while increasing the competition pressure on amd and nvidia. They are getting better and better with time, amd maybe at one point, or with next gen we'll get competition forcing the 2 old ones to get better pricing.

I don't understand your ranting about mozzila. In the wiki page you posted right there :

Any profits made by the Mozilla Corporation will be invested back into the Mozilla project. There will be no shareholders, no stock options will be issued and no dividends will be paid

Where is the profit on the page? The revenue isn't profit, it's how much money they make without the costs.

Then how do you expect a browser to survive without revenue? There are 3 major browser engines on the market today :

  • chromium (backed up by Google, sucking big money)
  • ~~blink~~webkit (baked up by apple, with big money too)
  • Gecko (I think) for Firefox. And it also needs lots of funding.

Al of them suck up huge amount of money.

For revenue, they also have more products than Firefox https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mozilla_products which also make money or not.

It requires powerful gpus yes but not always. It depends a lot on how fast you want it to run. Microsoft and openai need powerful ai gpus because they have a lot of requests, data and want it to go fast. The dataset may also require to be stored in memory or gpu memory for fast access and use by the ai.

For Llama, it has been released as open source. And what is amazing about open source, is the community. A Llama entirely in c++ has been created https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp .

And someone even managed to make it run, fast enough, on a phone with 8gb of available ram https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/750 . Tho with a smaller dataset.

The game dlls weren't "modified", but amd's antilag+ was grabbing the dll process to execute their code in the middle of it.

It would be like a detour in a dll adding an additional process in the middle, while not modifying the file.

Cheats also use such methods.

Manjaro is a bit of a strange distro. It works on some setups and breaks on other. On my hp laptop, manjaro stood there without breaking for a year.

On my brother's Lenovo laptop, the distro craped itself while trying to update packages, after 2 months...

Both had aur enabled, but I had the most aur software installed. So no idea why it broke.

Since I installed fedora on his laptop, no issues for 2 years.

"We would like to inform you of a recent incident affecting the security of certain data hosted by one of our service providers.

What happened?

At the end of September, we were the victim of a social engineering attack targeting one of our employees. This highly sophisticated attack began on the Discord platform with the downloading of malware under cover of a game on the Steam platform, proposed by an acquaintance of our employee, himself a victim of the same attack.

Our security team took immediate action. Despite our actions, the attacker was able to exploit one of the stolen cookies to connect to the management interface of one of our SaaS providers. Thanks to this cookie, now deactivated, the attacker was able to extract, via our SaaS provider's API, certain private information about you.

The information concerned is your first and last name, e-mail address, date of birth, billing address and credit card expiry date. It is important to note that no passwords or sensitive banking data have been compromised.

What actions have we taken?

As soon as this incident was discovered, we took immediate steps to secure our systems and took all necessary precautions to avoid future incidents. We have also reinforced the security protocols we apply with all our SaaS providers. Finally, we will be upgrading our internal systems to render compromised workstations harmless.

What can you do?

In the wake of this incident, please be very vigilant about the emails you receive, as they could be phishing attempts. In general, for all your accounts, we advise you to protect yourself by setting up multi- factor authentication ("MFA").

To set up MFA on your Shadow account, please refer to the following

guide: https://shdw.me/HC-B2C-2FA

We are here for you

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that we are doing everything possible to ensure the security of your data.

Passkey is some sort of specific unique key to a device allowing to use a pin on a device instead of the password. But which won't work on another device.

Now I don't know if that key can be stolen or not, or if it's really more secure or not, as people have really unsecure pins.

In the current market, the A580 doesn't look to be very attractive, compared to other intel gpus.

But something very interesting is 8GB of vram at under 200$. In this market where nvidia puts all the vram in AI gpus, it's a nice number to see.

Hopefully intel battlemage (next intel gen) can disrupt the market with true competition.

My previous account was on compuverse.uk, tho since about 1 week I cannot access the instance at all. I suppose either the hosting service destroyed it. The maintainer disappeared Or there are bigger issues about cloudflare routing or server issues.

There was a point where it was taking way too long to load, and then nothing. It is in accessible for me. I cannot access it through a vpn either.

What I remember : Startpage has been bought by an advertising company. So who knows what they could do with it.

Ecosia adds "contractually forced" Microsoft Clarity tracking (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/about-clarity | privacy faq : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/faq#privacy), which will record the behaviour of users on the website. Recording clics, size, and more.

They will also add an optional Google setting. Enabling the cookie will allow to get search results from Google, but also to get tracked by Google.

Optional Microsoft advertising tracking is still a thing, tho it may not be necessary if Bing can get a fingerprint and behaviour of the user in real time...

This may be the final flow for Ecosia for me. Unless somehow the Microsoft Clarity can be private... But I don't think so.

Apple played into the greenwashing since a long time. For example removing charger for "climate", "ecology", while changing the cable port from a usb A (the rectangle one you plug onto the charger) to a usb C when first removing the charger from the box (thanks for bringing this s* to android too).

ECH (encrypted client hello) is going or get enabled by default (already existed in a hidden setting) with version 118.

This page about the version explains a bit better ECH https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/understand-encrypted-client-hello

Tho it is still a bit confusing.

From what I understand there is the DNS query > the dns servers sends back an IP. This DNS query can be encrypted with DoH (or DoT?, it seems only DoH from the post).

Then there is a handshake with the website where the website informations can be leaked, and that can be encrypted by ECH (if the website supports it).

Then after that there is a tls connexion established between the website and the user.

The part where I'm confused is : can ECH be used without DoH? If yes that would mean that I can use a DoH capable software and not have to configure it into Firefox? (ex: Nextdns + yogadns)

Dish Network Corp. was fined $150,000 by US regulators for leaving a retired satellite parked in the wrong place in space.

The Federal Communications Commission called the action its first to enforce safeguards against orbital debris.

Dish's EchoStar-7 satellite, which relayed pay-TV signals, ran short of fuel, and the company retired it at an altitude roughly 76 miles (122 kilometers) above its operational orbit. It was supposed to have been parked 186 miles above its operational orbit, the FCC said in an order (PDF). The company admitted it failed to park EchoStar-7 as authorized. It agreed to implement a compliance plan and pay a $150,000 civil penalty, the FCC said.
