I'll give that a go, if we're both seeing that, I would corroborate whatever ticket you have (or file my own)....

[microcode]

It'd be interesting to see Ampere (and Cavium, for that matter) produce RISC-V chips in the future; I'd love to see what they could do with a clean slate...

[microcode]

This is likely the beginning of the end, it certainly has been before.

I love how people manage to recreate workplace politics where none...

Hope this doesn't happen with X.Org any time soon. The meson build is still broken on Arch Linux, and it seems nobody can replicate my issues (horrible...

[microcode]

It may still be unsupported, but I've found it works okay. I am at least able to get some professional work done in it, that's more than can be said about...

[microcode]

I was worried it would be a silly reason, or one which would reflect poorly on Purism. Looks like it's an honest vendor issue.

[microcode]

Depends on the your observation timescale, and what you're willing to trade for a moment of compliance. One thing's for sure: plenty of people think it...

[microcode]

Crucially a "programmer" was the computer equivalent of a "typist" or an "operator" (e.g. switchboard operator). What we...

The comment I was replying to said that there were no board schematics, misinformation travels fast. Thanks for clearing that up....

[microcode]

There is a difference between "trusted" and "trustworthy". In this context, "trusted" really just means "high-risk",...

[microcode]

With neither of those things, it's not really "open hardware" in a loose sense. Nothing about the hardware is open. Now, it's great that the...

Excellent, high resolution scrolling is the bomb diggity. It would be nice if this could be standardized though, I'd like to make a smooth scrolling retrofit...

[microcode]

Man, "safety critical" and "Linux" don't seem to jive. If they manage to create assurances for some subset of the Linux core, that'd...

[microcode]

Which part of this is "open" ?

[microcode]

I think Intel is not-so-subtly telling us that they're tired, and it's time to break out the brown stuff to mourn the death of moore's law, and the end...

[microcode]

Yeah, just got done bisecting that myself. Good thing I had two distinct kernels on my C2D machine.

[microcode]

Well, good on them to turn a bad news day into a good news day, in some sense. I hope they are rewarded for their good behaviour.

[microcode]

They're PS/2-based, which I think had no standardized calculator key scancode when IBM added the key (and may still not?), and they already have custom...

And just like that: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...y-Proton-Linux...

Ooh, is there a Radeon with ASTC decoders in it, or does this mean something else?
