ibic··on Intel Skylake/Kaby Lake processors: broken hyper-threading
I've no knowledge about IC design, but it sounds to me that even the biggest name in CPU industry doesn't (or do they ever) do formal verification? Is the process like when I'm writing some mediocre code and say to myself: "hmm, it probably works", and throw the bunch into the version control (whereas they throw it to the wafer fab)?
ibic··on Maru OS – A complete desktop experience on a smartphone
Is it fair to call it an OS? My feeling it's simply Android with some customization and/or apps.
ibic··on WannaCry – New Variants Detected
Again, where is the source? I seriously doubt that the worm author would let go such a profitable target if they can infect Windows 10. According to this: https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share... Windows 10 has almost 4 times users than XP (and supposedly the gap is growing larger)
ibic··on WCry 2.0 functions perfectly under Wine
WCry set up an example how to let users screw up themselves easily.
ibic··on Consider a Dell Optiplex FX160 Instead of a Raspberry Pi
I used a NAS for storage, works fine for me.
ibic··on Consider a Dell Optiplex FX160 Instead of a Raspberry Pi
My main usages with RPi 3 includes: - SSH tunnel from outside when I concern about security / privacy - Media box (Kodi runs pretty well) - Running daemons (DDNS updates, torrent, etc) - Running some nodejs scripts

RPi 3 does these very well, why bother with a more power-consuming box? Not to metion RPi 3 has WiFi builtin (I know it's slow, but good enough for my usage)

ibic··on Treble: A modular base for Android
Android finally adapted the approach of Windows on PC - OS maker dictates the software pieces on all devices, the device makers only create the hardware and write drivers (optionally, some bloatware). I believe this is the right/better approach, and it solves no only the Android update hassle, but more importantly the fragmentation issue.

You can use url, e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Do...
ibic··on WeChat's App Revolution
s/China/US/, still sounds equally right (or wrong) to me.
ibic··on China Deploys Missiles on Disputed Island in South China Sea
How more retarded can a comment be? - From the article, how could you have intelligently drawn the conclusion that "Chinese thug of government"? Off the thin air? The territory, is at most, as described by the western media, "disputed", while in my opinion, it's simply part of China. Comparing this to the shameless invasion of Iraq, by this logic, U.S. is way much much more a "thug" of a government. (No, I'm just illustrating the logic of the comment, not endorsing this conclusion). - And if a government is a "thug", then it's nothing of "misery" sort, let alone "to be put out of". - And, if not that obvious already, this has nothing to do with democracy. So talking about that simply makes no sense.
ibic··on Visual Turing Test
Well, is it really considered a Turing Test? I thought in Turing Test, the interrogator is the one to ask (choosing from questions at his will).
ibic··on Instagram's Million Dollar Bug
CSO slaps a legal threat to a security researcher and talks about ETHIC? Good job man, gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood job.
