Apple M4 Mac Mini With macOS vs. Intel / AMD With Ubuntu Linux Performance

Do you realize what a shit solution that is? First, it requires the user to know which packages use a vulnerable library. Then, it requires them to know the compatibility matrix. Finally, it requires them to specifically "upgrade" each package that uses each vulnerable library.

It's a hack, at best. Not a real solution, at all.

I am not saying that its ideal, but I am saying that it is possible to do this. And at least for the usecase I described it is eloquent in how stupidly simple it is, you literally place a dll in the same folder as the executable.

Of course for proper "I want to upgrade the ssl library because there is some security vulnerability globally in the system" its definitely not ideal but for other cases it works quite well.

Also its not a hack, its a well documented feature in Windows and its entirely intended to be used that way.

A lot of people are, myself included.

How exactly and how many is a lot?

Why 7zip compiled without SIMD (SSE2) for test?

Does the Apple M series answer the whole Risc vs Cisc debate that was the rage roughly 15 to 20 years ago?
