I don't get it. I see your photographs of a Famicom looking cartridge on top of a North American NES console. And I see you hiding the label of the cartridge with your hand, against the door. None of this tells me how the cartridge is inserted into this clone of yours. |

Posted by Nicholas Steel Take A Way exploits only leak a "few bits of metadata," as opposed to providing full access to data Yeah, so nation state level attacker can spend multiple days whacking away at your computer with full local access, to retrieve a few kilobytes of metadata. Posted by Nicholas Steel It already does have a big performance impact, on the order of reducing performance to between 8 and 20% of the original performance.

The option to install with an offline account exists even if you have network, if you use Athe’s recommended SKU, Pro for Workstations. Plus, you also don’t get the crapps like Candy Crush installed by default. Of course, they’ll still install OneNote by default, along with the Office launcher. |

Minecraft. Bedrock edition, which I own for Windows 10, care of the mojang account license, iOS, and Android on Google Play. The latter is useful for running it with the MCPELauncher for Lummox. Alas, there’s really no equivalent for macOS yet, until ARMac comes out, then you can just run the iOS tablet version on Mac desktop. |

Hey, if it manages to eat more market share, nice. Hurt intel plenty, please. And I’ll probably be trying to get ahold of one of these things eventually. Btw, one thing I’ve learned from someone actually testing these things. The Application Binary Interface is identical to iOS. One person I saw compiled something with the beta Universal Xcode, a console app. Then successfully ran it on their jailbroken iPhone. |

Their prototype development hardware is benching faster at virtual x86 than Microsoft’s Surface Pro X does running the native ARM version of the same benchmark. Sweet. |

Multiple cameras for multiple modes, because in a device like that, it's cheaper and easier to include multiple fixed function cameras than it is to throw in one camera with a giant focusing apparatus. Also, you can't do multi-focal photos simultaneously without multiple cameras anyway. As for the thickness of the paper or tape, just remember, anything thicker, and you could be putting pressure on the delicate electronics and the glass. Thicker, they're probably thinking of anyone who would tape a sheet of cardboard over the lens, instead of, say, just slapping a Post-It over it. And possibly also haphazardly closing your MacBook on it by slamming the damn thing shut, putting an extra load of pressure on that camera spot. Nobody said they made the most durable hardware, but it is some of the best in its price point, and also halfway decent at cooling, what with the entire laptop body being a giant heatsink. ARMac will only make the thermal issue better. Consider something that only gets as hot as your average Apple smart thing does, only now it's got a giant heatsink body to improve the thermals. Imagine, if you will, that they put out something way better than the prototype hardware, which already shows that it can perform nicely, and runs like a low spec MacBook Air when virtualizing x86_64 code in tight loops. If they can pull that off, maybe they have something to this whole "ARM PC" thing. Meanwhile, I keep hearing random people in my friendly neighborhood (not literally neighborhood) chats that are really dying to get their hands on some RISC-V PCs. Yeah, sure. And I bet there's already a solution for running x86 code on those, right? Or were they all planning to go whole hog and throw all proprietary software in the trash? |

Chiming in to point out that this port is also on the AUR as a package there, if you use Arch, btw. Oh, and retorting to your comment on fricking T9. I never managed to get the hang of T9 during the years I owned a feature phone, while my little brother handled it just fine. The best I could do was bang out a single sentence in a whole two minutes. Give me a touchscreen full qwerty keyboard any day. Oh, and I don't use my thumbs for this shit, I hold the phone with one hand and tap with my right fore finger. Or if I'm on a tablet, I can do more fingers on both hands. |

And I'm still waiting on AMD, assuming I ever upgrade my GPU again. I'm still happily on my RX 480 8GB. It plays the games I need it to, near perfectly. And it runs the Wayland desktop environments I care about when I use them, which is more than I can say for Novideo "let's not implement this thing that FOSS needs, because we'd have to GPL our driver, and people would figure out that we feature gate devices completely in software". |

The only moving parts in my current desktop are fans and the optical drive. Three SSDs, though, but only one of them in use by a given OS at a time, and the third is hosting a Fedora install I don't use any more. A single M.2 slot requires 4 PCIe lanes and often two SATA ports. All of the SATA headers on the board probably require the same. So you lose 4-6 drive interfaces, in favor of a single M.2 slot. And no M.2 slots interface to optical drives, but I guess most people don't care about those any more, either. Some boards even have 3 M.2 slots, one of them pre-populated with a WiFi/BT interface card. And I don't think they're going to get rid of the SATA connectors just to add a fourth M.2 slot. And remember, you can always stuff an M.2 slot or two into a PCIe slot interface, too. But you'll probably have to give up one of your precious x16 slots, since most motherboards don't include x4 slots. |
