I guess it's only useful for situations where they can't use a wired connection for some reason, and can't use typical WiFi due to interference. Atleast...

[sandy8925]

Ah, I was wondering about the overhead of profiling....

[sandy8925]

Yeah, either that or government/military/other scenarios where people want to ensure that their display contents can't be copied or tampered with und...

[sandy8925]

Well in those movie scenarios where camera feeds are hijacked, this won't help - in those cases, the video signal from the cameras is sent unencrypted...

[sandy8925]

That would be reliability and not security..........

[sandy8925]

Yeah, this is why I prefer Intel. Good quality open source driver that just works, support is finished well ahead of time, and problems are rare (in my...

[sandy8925]

Main problem that Linux kernel devs have with ZFS is that it's out of tree, and they sometimes did stupid things like blaming the kernel for bugs in their...

[sandy8925]

Main annoyance with F2FS is that it demands checking the disk every time you start up. Which is annoying when you dual boot. If you only have one OS,...

[sandy8925]

I sure hope Intel's open source efforts continue unabated.

Turbo on Ryzen CPUs is different from turbo on Intel CPUs. See this excellent Anandtech article - https://www.anandtech.com/show/14873/reaching-for-t...

Oh sure, I'm not saying it's an excuse to not support Vulkan. I definitely think Vulkan support is important, and the future (I'd rather it was already...

I remember seeing some bounty for adding m68k support in LLVM. I wonder how they feel about it's potential removal from the kernel.

[sandy8925]

Our ghosts will be waiting a hundred years later, lol. Whatever plans they had were probably scrapped. Nothing really stopped them from announcing anything...

[sandy8925]

Poulsbo has a PowerVR GPU.......Intel has no control over whether they can have open source GPU drivers for that. Go complain to Imagination Tech....

[sandy8925]

Vulkan is supported on many devices, but not all of them. There are many older devices that only support OpenGL, and for a desktop environment/window...

[sandy8925]

Ah yes, enjoy AMD hardware that constantly breaks, doesn't get fixed for months, they don't reveal any info about the important bits like power management,...

[sandy8925]

For me, AMD graphics has always been a bug and regression nightmare, while Intel graphics has been excellent and pretty close to perfect....

[sandy8925]

I like the Timer, that's actually very useful. Also, I really really wish they'd add a hibernate button in the system menu. They finally added a suspend...

[sandy8925]

IMO they should just merge. Or call it the *nix graphics/display foundation....

[sandy8925]

X.org foundation is just the name of an organization that oversees a lot of Linux graphics stuff. I guess a rename would be a good idea.
