Until you try to use it. Same speed, same phy, same kinda capabilities but I plug my AI 350 laptop into a TB4 dock that worked fine with my Ultra 1 and most devices work. Then the monitors don't want to play and there's more usability quirks. I'm encouraged by the TB3 10Gb ethernet adapter working, I'll have to try an external GPU soon.
Worth noting that for some reason email in pull request was set to some address with a domain of Russian Ministry of Defense. Could be a typo of mail.ru, a big email host there. UTC-4 shows it's fake and gay anyway.
Actual micropcs do fit that use case. GPD Micro and small 10/11' Chromebooks fit the bill. On the more FOSS-friendly end of things, you have the MNT Reform, which if you're into that kinda thing has an almost* fully free boot chain with blobs only present for HDMI and RAM init, or even smaller DIY handhelds like the HackberryPi CM5. Performance can vary, but I know that people say the Reform is pretty good; RK3588 processor, 32 gigs of RAM, space for like 3 NVMes. Very expensive, but definitely cool.
USB4 is not a PCIe slot that doubles as a USB port, unlike Thunderbolt. All USB4 PCIe compatibility is emulated through software. With Thunderbolt, to my understanding, the USB controller is bypassed by compatible devices to connect directly to the SoC's PCIe lanes. USB4 supports comparable throughput, but there's more to technology than just the numbers you put on the executive summary.
How do you have repos on Github without a local clone? Is this one of those idiots who edits stuff on github instead of using a 'normal' workflow?
Yes. Remember the time where a schizo activist decided that his npm module would target russkies? Or how libxz was taken over? What was the *actual* fallout of that for the people involved? Yeah, the software got forked, but did they face any lawsuits or needed to pay compensation for the people targeted? And in the case of the npm lib, I remember droves of people saying "good on him" and "serves them fucking right". I can imagine someone doing anti-fash-ware, and it would get enough support not to curtail the damage done in time, if ever.
If Daniel decides one day to brick my phone, or worse, there's absolutely nothing I can do to make him regret that decision for the rest of his short life, no instrument of deterrence. Not the case with corporate entities.
Lol genuinely no normie or jew lawyer or whoever would care if Apple released any OS that had KF flagged in some dangerous site blacklist, they'd celebrate just like they did with the cloudflare shit. Proprietary services are not void from specifically fucking you over for your non-mainstream stances, you're not a gay black non-binary blob so don't expect any actual meaningful legal support if Google ever decides to shit on your bed, proprietary has very clearly for the past half decade not been much of a step up over open source in this regard.
If Google or Apple or Microsoft or literally any tech corporation fucks you over because they think you're arbitrarily dangerous you (as an individual) are not going to do shit to them either lmao, get real. The likely scenario is that most people have already sold their souls and legal merit to the proprietary services they use via the license agreements and T&Cs that they never actually bother to read.
That is exactly my point, with the caveat that consequences for corpo entities are greater so they try to guard themselves from people like that. Free software run by tranny hacks can kamikaze with no fucks given.
Yes, they were for the most part just straight up PCIe slots in a slightly different, more ruggedized form factor. I like them because quite a few of them doubled as mounting points for external/auxiliary battery packs so you could have a laptop that could have a proper dGPU, get through airport security on account of not having too much capacity in a single battery pack, and still give you a decent life on battery power alone. I believe this the part where I, once again, shill those old nigh-indestructible magnesium alloy body HP EliteBooks. HP's consoomer hardware has been trash for the past 20 years and change, but that hasn't stopped their serious business hardware from being built like brick shithouses while being absurdly cheap on the used market.
Last I checked proprietary software companies liked binary blobs ackshually
At least with AMD Ryzen 8000, it goes directly to the lanes. I can't post the docs because NDA, but maybe you'll find them if you search around. Tunneled PCIe is the keyword you're looking for.
yes that's npm garbage and anyone who relies on that shit is fucking stupid
hahahahahaha
idk he's probably just brainwashed
they recently ported the hurd to aarch64. true gnu/patriots knew what was coming
Most licenses require you to disclose what open source libraries you're including, and what their licenses are. A "supply chain" issue like that npm module or recent npm attacks don't affect end users; they were targeting developers installing those modules. Authors of this malware were aware of how short the window for this attack was, and went for the most obvious short term gain attack you could think of.
