I'd wager that's more likely due to Windows than the hardware. Like sure the hardware does play a part in that but its not the whole story or even most of it.

My C++ projects have a python heavy build system attached where the main script that runs to prepare everything and kick off the build, takes significantly longer to run on Windows than Linux on the same hardware.

Doesn't need to be in the cloud for it work everywhere.

>>he thought his job would be in jeopardy if he didn't publish

Where'd you get this from? The author's response on Bluesky doesn't imply this at all.

Here’s the PR explaining why they disabled this function

https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/pull/18336

Seems like it caused tons of problems due to the variability of TPM quality among other things

and also source 1

Its WILD to me seeing Techrights described as "well-established, respected and trusted"

You can still care about forthcoming invasions of one's privacy and while still understanding that the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution is only intended to prevent state and federal governments from censoring you. Not corporations.

Semantics are very important when it comes to legal matters.

Most of the requirements for that feature are UEFI features or a TPM, and have nothing to do with the CPU

The actual CPU requirements are VMX, SLAT, IOMMU and being 64 bit, which have all been available on the Intel side at least, since at least 2008, with some coming available even before that.

The CPU requirement was just an attempt to force people to buy new hardware they didn't need. Nothing more.

A perfect example of this is the Ryzen 5 1600. Its not officially supported but meets every single one of the requirements and had no trouble enabling the feature in the run up to the release of Win11 (before it was blocked for no reason). I know this because I did it.

Also they marked all but one 7th Intel Core CPU as unsupported, and the one they did add just so happens to be the one they were shipping in one of their Surface products. No way you can tell me this list was based fact and not the whims of some random PM when they do stuff like that.

VBS is also in Windows 10 and has no problem working on CPUs that aren't "supported" in Windows 11

That they presently have no problems doing without this crap, so proving that they don't need it.

They've had plenty of opportunity to do this and haven't, so would find it incredibly unlikely they would magically start to have a problem now

Not to mention doing would basically kill game as one of the biggest reason people even still play Minecraft is the modding scene, not the minimum viable effort that have been the official updates for last number of years.

ChatControl is just lawful interception under a different name, but worse.

And we all know those laws are never abused and are absolutely only used to target criminals.

Malware has existed nearly since the dawn of computing. Making the world even less secure under the guise of combating w/e today's latest bogeyman is is not gonna solve that. And having secure private communications is not gonna make it worse.

That anyone thinks this blatantly obvious attack on free speech is actually going to be used only for law enforcement is wild to me.

Fire OS was an Android fork. Best I can tell from the stuff I've seen in the news about it, is that Vega OS is not Android at all, and is completely custom (well minus the Linux kernel)

I don't really have much interest in Zig the language, but Zig as a standalone C/C++ compiler is pretty great.

I'm using it as a cross-compiler for linux-arm64 because its much simpler to download a single archive and extract it somewhere than to waste a bunch of time on guessing how each different Linux distro does ARM64 cross compilers (or doesn't in the case of Fedora).

Had the same thought. Was glad to see I was wrong.

>>Who is arguing for a backdoor? Do you actually know what are the proposed technical approaches or are you making assumptions?

The 14 EU countries pushing for this policy to become law. Do you actually know the proposed technical approaches or are you just making assumptions?

>>What is not possible?

See my previous comments. I made it quite clear.

>>For example here, you make your argument by stating that these proposal are "stupid". There is no effort that I can see to even try to understand where the other party is coming from. And that is an issue, in my opinion. I think that a productive and honest conversation about a complex issue like this one requires empathy with the other party's position.

In situations such as this your empathy is misplaced. It should not be with the bureaucrat seeking access to your private conversations under the false pretense of "keeping you safe" from w/e today's boogeyman is. It should be with the people who's safety is bolstered by the ability to have private conversations.

If you don't understand why this sort of stupid chat control policy is bad then there is no productive or honest conversation to be had.

>>Why do you assume something like that? Do you actually know the arguments that the parties in favor of this kind of regulation are presenting? And can you dismiss them based on objective facts?

The moment anyone brings up the whole "just put a backdoor in that only we can access" despite years of people who actually know better saying that's not possible, is the moment when any further arguments become moot and not worth any further engagement or assumptions of good intention.

That's the single argument all these stupid "chat control" like proposals are based on.

>> If you don’t like that, just don’t buy from them…

That’s such a lazy argument. The restrictions shouldn’t exist in the first place. Or at the very least should exist in a way that can be disabled for those that actually want control over the stuff they own.

Ok I absolutely misread that as 50%...either way, a not-insignificant portion of Android malware still comes from the Play Store, which was the point I was trying to make.

>>I'm actually pro-app store as long as it's helping apps to be malware-free

Except that it isn't. Epic v Apple proved this on the Apple side.

The fact that (according to Google) only 50% of Android malware comes from sideloading should also make you question where the other 50% is coming from. (Hint: a lot of it is from the Play Store)

Surprised it took this long.

>>All three are more generic computers than any Apple mobile device and are purely walled gardens where we can't run whatever we want.

No they aren't. Game consoles are designed for a singular purpose. Apple's mobile devices are not singular purpose. I guess their watch might be? but that's the closest you'd get IMO.

I uninstalled it after finding basic terminal functions broken.

I tend to append "clear &&" to commands I run frequently, to clear out output from a previous run. Every other terminal this works like you expect. In Warp, it doesn't. Turns they've hijacked the "clear" command for reasons I don't remember, such that it only works when you run it separately instead of as part a sequence. I only learned this when I went searching for a bug report on that found one that had been opened for a while where they essentially said they had no interest in making this sort of basic stuff work.

My comment isn't really that absurd in the context of this whole thread and its insistence that decent quality internet service is something only the wealthy and/or those who live in urban areas should have access to.

So just stop being poor. Got it.

I don’t know seems like it was working as intended to me.

So server owners are just supposed to bend over and take all the abuse they get from shitty bots and DDOS attacks and do nothing?

That seems pretty unreasonable.

KDE is a combination of multiple different parts of which Plasma is one (and also the name of the overall organization that produces the whole thing). Plasma is the main component, its main contribution to KDE is the various user facing components like the desktop, the launcher bar, etc.
