I had a Linux computer once that could hibernate. I think it was some time around 2012. I enjoyed it.
Nowadays, even Windows machines often fail...

[kpedersen]

I trust these guys in their choice because they have generally proven to be smarter than most other developers.

Besides, it looks like they...

[kpedersen]

Yes, I am actually very surprised after their efforts to settle for 99% open-source.

I am more inclined to believe that some money has exchanged...

[kpedersen]

Disappointing. Surely this is going to add to the complexity and cost. Seems like an incorrect decision.
Could the correct decision simply to be...

audi100quattro, If you reboot the machine it goes back to booting the PS4 Orbis OS. I actually get my router (a WRT variant) to push the payload on reboot....

[kpedersen]

I actually agree with this.

• Pirating is very rare on the PS4 - Great for Sony and their publishers
• Jailbreaking and Linux is absolutely rampant on

...

[kpedersen]

I agree, this is daft.

Could Khronos / OpenGL / Vulkan protect itself from this in future? Something in the license stating that extensions...

[kpedersen]

Agreed. I don't really see the problem here. Once the initial compilation on complete, only units dependent on subsequent changes get recompiled anyway....

[kpedersen]

Exactly. And a "rolling stone gathers no moss"*. What this means is that if you waste so much time pointlessly updating and fixing all your...

[kpedersen]

These aren't actually AppStores. Unlike "stores", you don't get to "buy" and "own" things. You only get to "rent"...

[kpedersen]

Windows NT was available on POWER and MIPS but that "failed". It is mostly about what Microsoft wants to support (or gets paid by Intel to support)....

[kpedersen]

I would say, if there is any doubt... Replace your build tools with something portable. Gone are the days where a developer can just sit in Visual Studio...

[kpedersen]

Thank god for this. Finally ARM laptops will be modern!

Why has it taken so long? Am I to believe from all the ARM hardware manufacturers...

[kpedersen]

I've been to the year 3000, Not much has changed but they lived underwater. Oh and NVIDIA stopped producing drivers for Solaris and FreeBSD somewhere...

[kpedersen]

If the drivers remain open, this will be great for the open-source community. I am quite happy to trade a little bit of speed for correctness.

[kpedersen]

I believe it was my fault. I am very sorry. I stupidly mentioned that the CPU manufacturer Intel had large ties with Israel which at the time I thought...

[kpedersen]

Surely a desktop suite is much more important than a fancy window manager?

[kpedersen]

wizard69, I agree completely with all that. We are in a very poor state of affairs. But given no other alternative, something is going to have to be produced....

[kpedersen]

Perhaps. I do know those two have some pretty crooked deals together. I feel sorry for the Palestinians in many ways.

But the sad truth is...

[kpedersen]

Well, just as "backdoored". The difference is who the back door is for obviously .
The CIA or the MSS, you choose. I would go for the...
