No, wrong. LDT is also in use when set_thread_area() is used to set up Thread-Local Storage.

Which is used to setup segmentation for 16bit stuff (https://www.wine-staging.com/news/20...ine-16bit.html).
Considering that whole LDT code is protected by (#ifdef __i386__) I presume its used with 32bit wine only.

$2 = 0x63

Bit value 2 in %GS indicates LDT.

Nope, that's a GDT selector. Bits 0 and 1 indicate privilege and bit 2 which is 0 here Indicates GDT.

Michael : I would like to do a cryptocurrency tip too. I do have a large collection but no bitcoin and right now it's not really profitable sending a bitcoin tip like, paying 10$ of fee to send it.. Can you get a Monero wallet or ethereum (if you want tokens)?

Looks like Ethereum is easy to support with Coinbase.

You are right, I was off by one bit. Thank you!

May I Introduce "Good Guy Intel"



I was on the fence with obsoleting my LGA 1151, wasn't that nice of them to sweeten the deal now that Ryzen 2.0 is coming?

I've been personally wondering how long it takes for cloud vendors to start replacing their Intel-only arsenal with AMD. The fix apparently caused an unjustifiable large performance impact in eg AWS. I've been reading people needing to scale up as high as 30% as a result
