Interesting how after the mitigations, the 8370 ended up being overall faster than the 2400S. Though, had we known about these vulnerabilities around...

[schmidtbag]

Um... yeah, they kinda are... By your logic, are you suggesting cities aren't obligated to have police? Or that banks shouldn't have hefty vault doors?...

[schmidtbag]

To my knowledge, Intel's Linux drivers have always been developed completely independently of the Windows drivers. So, if you're implying that Linux...

Although I'm not happy about higher RAM usage, if the CPU usage is proportionately higher along with the level of added performance, I don't see that...

[schmidtbag]

I like the sound of all of those improvements.

[schmidtbag]

Seems like pretty solid results so far. If the Navi 3090 or whatever it'll be called ends up outperforming the Radeon VII in games while costing at least...

[schmidtbag]

Yes, that was my point - the community (which includes all of the shields and other hardware mods) is what gives the RPi its value. Without that, there's...

[schmidtbag]

I think it is worth pointing out there are SBCs that are arguably a better value than an RPi, however, the RPi will remain a very enticing option due...

[schmidtbag]

Yikes, these results are all over the place. Seems all of these distros have more optimizations to do (though, Clear has no obligation whatsoever)....

[schmidtbag]

This is one of the few situations where I've actually been able to notice the performance losses without needing benchmarks to confirm my observations....

I bet nothing, and that's not a shot at Michael. I'm pretty sure he's just the anti-censorship type. Besides, I'm sure he just views all the bickering...

[schmidtbag]

Holy crap I am waaaaay too late to the party to snack on popcorn now!

This thread must be a record breaker for patsies and trolls. It's...

[schmidtbag]

True, but that's only if you're trying to hide from someone specifically, in which case you've got worse things to worry about than someone finding your...

[schmidtbag]

I was thinking more along the lines of stuff like ATA, where you have a master and slave drive. To my recollection, there was nothing especially noteworthy...

[schmidtbag]

I'm glad to see Intel finally giving a damn about their SoC audio drivers. The Clear Linux boot times seem very interesting, though I'm not too sure how...

[schmidtbag]

I assume this would have the greatest impact on multi-socket Epyc systems?

[schmidtbag]

Ah cool, thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of that....

[schmidtbag]

I would be very careful about those failed attempts. I once had a test system where the root password was just "root" and after a few weeks,...

[schmidtbag]

I personally enable root login via ssh on my PCs at home, because I'm not especially concerned about security. My router's built-in firewall blocks the...

[schmidtbag]

Overall, a lot of these changes seem pretty cool and non-intrusive. I don't like it when a change means sacrificing something (whether that be functionality,...
