That might violate some other Play Store rule. That plus only a few people are going to buy the paid version, if the free version will have all of the...

[sandy8925]

True, that's just how it is. iGPUs weren't meant for gaming and other high performance graphics, they're just meant to be able to render desktop UIs at...

[sandy8925]

Well, technically current ultrabooks can run the games, they have the feature support. It's just performance that's lacking....

[sandy8925]

Cool! Hopefully it doesn't break the driver for Hawaii again, and hopefully it won't be left in an unusable state for months....

[sandy8925]

I've actually encrypted swap with that "random keys on every boot" option. It wasn't working properly though, because systemd was doing this...

S

Sure, they may have submitted a few patches here and there, and sure the PlayStation has a different and possibly weird architecture compared...

[sandy8925]

Without the GPL, the Linux kernel would not be as well developed as it is now. The only reason Android and other device manufacturers release kernel source...

[sandy8925]

Well actually, he knows smartphones are chock full of closed source software and other scary bits, which is one of the reasons why he doesn't use one...

Cool, I am affected by that problem with Java applications losing focus on Wayland. I'm glad it's finally resolved.

[sandy8925]

Well, I have encrypted /boot and / , dunno if flicker free is useful in that situation....

[sandy8925]

True, I believe VAAPI already supports something like this. You can get a handle to the surface or buffer (and I think it's somehow tied to the kernel...

[sandy8925]

Ah, so it's bascially applications not calling glClear even though they're supposed to? Not the fault of the driver then, as I assumed. Although if the...

[sandy8925]

Well, I see this kind of "corruption" in almost all applications when they create a new window, menu or even a popup when using AMD GPU drivers....

[sandy8925]

And I thought that discussion was all due to systemd's usage of RDRAND....

[sandy8925]

Lol. In some ways a good point - if you cannot trust the CPU to work correctly, then that system is unusable....

[sandy8925]

Good, concurrency bugs are some of the worst and most difficult to debug. The only way to reduce them is by proper planning and design during the software...

[sandy8925]

Interesting! I wonder if we'll see upstream open source GPU drivers on Pixel and Chrombeook devices in the future. That would be awesome!

[sandy8925]

I agree with your definitions, but in this case none of the rapes/assaults were related to the FSF or GNU. They were infact related to MIT, and Stallman...

[sandy8925]

I am in the same boat too, but I must disagree that the GPL is entirely a disadvantage there - remember that any competitors who use GPL source code in...

Ah, I'm facing this problem right now, with Android Studio. Started with GNOME 3.34. I'm glad they're working on a fix.
