I wouldn’t go as far as saying they’re being assholes. Fedora is a nice project after all. It’s just a bit sad to see the asymmetry here, especially since Fedora is so much more well known than FEDORA.
A sibling commenter is right though: the Legal page is linked from the footer, I was looking in the wrong place.
He's confused about the retribution thing. Korean manufacturers aren't afraid of US to restart DDR4 manufacturing. They don't want to restart it anyway. But I'm pretty sure I've recently read it somewhere credible that they'd normally sell their old machinery but now they can't because they're afraid China would be the eventual buyer (via proxies) and they'd be inadvertently in violation of US sanctions , so instead of selling they just locked down the old machinery to gather dust instead.
And about DDR4 not being relevant, even though DDR4 manufacturing stopped earlier this year and DDR4 prices have been slowly but steadily increasing long before this crisis, after the crisis DDR4 prices have also tripled just like DDR5 prices, even in the used market. So regardless of whether it's a real demand or panic response, the effect is still real on people wanting to upgrade their DDR4 systems. These people who probably just wants to update RAM in their systems in the hope that it'd help them delay their switch to DDR5 systems for a few years while bracing the impact. Had Chinese manufacturers continued to manufacture DDR4 at least this wouldn't be that bad for the existing system upgrades of DDR4 systems.
GREASE already randomizes the handshake to an extent, and I think whatever TLS stack chrome uses also shuffles the cipher order. In response newer TLS fingerprinting algorithms (ja4?) sort the cipher list first to mitigate this.
That's definitely a thing that happened, but it's minimising so much other important work that it's misrepresenting the whole thing.
Do you know how much bandwidth six channels of uncompressed audio needs? Home theaters would be a HUGE hassle without a single cable doing all that work for you.
ADAT Lightpipe supports up to 8 audio channels at 48 kHz and 24 bits - all using standard off-the-shelf Toslink cables and transceivers. MADI can do significantly more.
Let's not pretend surround sound is a nearly-impossible problem only HDMI could possibly solve.
I... think you might be proving my point for me? The ability to have a single cable that can do video AND a bunch of audio channels at once is amazing for the average joe.
Don't get me wrong, I use optical in my setup at home & I'd love to have more studio & scientific gear just for the hell of it, but I'm the minority.
I'm not trying to defend the HDMI forum or the greedy arsehole giants behind them. The DRM inbuilt to HDMI and the prohibitive licensing of the filters (like atmos) is a dick move and means everything is way more expensive than it needs to be. Was just pointing out that parent's comment was reductive.
Correct! Now put that USB cable _inside_ a DVI cable, magically solve all the buffering problems that plagued the industry for several decades, slap on some DRM over the top, and you'll have HDMI 1.0 :-D
You just replied to someone who explained it was about the DRM, with 'nuh-uh."
Pivot much?
The rest of the capabilities were all being done for over a decade before HDMI came out, and quite well by some companies.
Sure, firewire was typically used for video plus two channels of audio, but it's a single twisted pair, and HDMI uses 4 high-speed twisted pair to transmit clock and data, plus another few pins for out-of-band signalling information.
Technically, HDMI is actually a huge failure. It wasn't until 2.1 that they started supporting compressed video.
Take a system, figure out where it has the highest possible bandwidth need, and then insert the communication cable at that point. Yeah, that's the ticket!
Before HDMI, some equipment did AV sync really well, and even after HDMI came out, some TVs still didn't do the A/V sync very well. The correct buffering for that has nothing to do with the cable, although it might seem like it because when the audio comes out of the TV, the circuits in there sure ought to be able to do delay matching.
The adoption of HDMI was, in fact, completely driven by HDCP.
I'm in Europe and I see a lot more than that. Apologies for the ugly formatting, mobile:
As part of changing laws in Europe, Meta now offers the option for you to chat with others using third-party messaging apps that have integrated with WhatsApp and that you choose to turn on.
Note: Chats with third-party apps are only available in select regions and may not be available to you.
- You can send messages, photos, videos, voice messages, and documents to end users of supported messaging services that have integrated with WhatsApp.
- Messages or other content you send from WhatsApp to third-party users are encrypted in transit, and WhatsApp can’t see them.
- Third-party apps have their own policies and they might handle your data differently than WhatsApp.
## Eligibility requirements to turn on third-party chats with WhatsApp
- Third-party chats with WhatsApp are only available to users with a WhatsApp account registered to phone numbers in the regions covered by the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
- If you change your phone number to a number registered in a region not covered by the DMA, you won’t be able to use third-party chats on WhatsApp.
- Third-party chats are only available on WhatsApp for iPhone and Android. Third-party chats on WhatsApp are not currently accessible on tablets, web, or desktop.
We care about the safety of our global community when enabling chats with third-party apps. Visit our WhatsApp Privacy Policy for users in Europe for more information.
When you send a message to a third-party app, the phone number registered to your WhatsApp account is available to the third-party app you select. Other people who know your phone number can find and message you from third-party messaging services you've enabled.
Note: Users you’ve blocked on WhatsApp might be able to message you from third-party apps. Learn more about how to block someone in this article.
## Be mindful of the information you share
Before you chat with someone using third-party apps:
- Make sure you know the person you’re chatting with before sharing any personal information.
- Be aware that scams and spam might be more common when messaging with third-party apps.
- If you receive an unwanted message from a third-party chat, you can block the sender from messaging you from the third party.
maybe not on an SSD but it definitely helps a lot on HDD by virtue of having far less disk traffic. The kernel's method for figuring out which modules to load is effectively to load every single module that might be compatible with a given device in series and then ask the module for its opinion before unloading it, and then once it has a list of all (self-reported) compatible modules for a given device it picks one and reloads it.
> helps a lot on HDD by virtue of having far less disk traffic
Still doesn't matter because we're talking about init ramdisk here. It's a sequential file loaded into RAM before the kernel. Whether it's 5MB or 20MB would't matter much even on a hard drive. After that it's all in RAM anyway.
For anything involved in the I/O stack this would be a complete non-starter because having a cache implies the existence of a filesystem which in turn implies the existence of all underlying modules. PCI, network stack, USB, etc can all be necessary prerequisites for that so it's a non-starter for anything involved with them too; at this point we've already ruled out most of the computer.
Also for embedded systems there often isn't a writable filesystem, and that is a huge part of linux's userbase.
Main reason for Intel boards being cheap is because they're practically one and done because of Intel's insistence on changing sockets every other generation.
it's a kind way of saying they're being assholes?
