Bad, when it comes to privacy. They have a pretty heavy internal advertisenent campaign, trying to sell you stuff you don’t need and offers based on your usage, it’s a bit disgusting, really.

Yes. It’s very similar to Kung Fu Hustle, but in a fantasy setting. It’s loosely based on some Chinese folklore of the same name.

Journey To The West as well, though.

Kung Fu Hustle I’ve seen countless times.

You may be able to disable the ME to some extent, although I believe the functionality that needs to be retained on newer versions is larger.

You will however still need the Intel FSP blob, which is a huge chunk of proprietary binary code. On anything below Skylake you still need at least an MRC blob.

I haven’t taken a dump on a T480 chip, yet, so you tell me what that’s like.

What I meant by grub was the init payload that gets loaded after BUP. Libreboot uses SeaBIOS first now, which is bad because anybody can start anything and you can’t set a password. This is before systemd or any OS.

My E3-1275v2 from 2012 is still perfectly usable for everything I do, alright.

IGP can even render 4k videos on a single display.

Not wanting to knock you, but Libreboot on a T480 is fake. There’s nothing “libre” about it.

Only until Ivy Bridge are you able to remove FSP, MRC and most of the Intel ME code.

They also don’t have grub-only builds anymore, so security went to shit.

Might aswell just build coreboot at that point.

10? That’s a rookie number.

They wrote duplicates.

I would like to know as well, if only since if it’s done in the US, it won’t be too long until we get it over here.

I mean, this obviously looks like some kind of mobile general suspicion surveillance system, but what’s the official story?

I don’t know much about “bluetooth instruments”, the question is what’s meant by that, exactly. There are wireless units for mics and guitars, but they are usually connected to an amp directly, so there is only one way transmission, which may be fine with a bit of latency.

When you use your computer as a digital amp/effects processor, you get a roundtip latency, e.g. from the input into a AD converter, to digital processing and back through a DA into the speakers.

That means you basically have doubled the internal latency and the more effects you use in parallel, the tighter the timings have to be.

With jack on an optimised system, I get anything between 4-8ms of total latency. Anything below 20ms is generally considered “fine”, but you can hear it, depending on your subjective brain and ears. I would say I notice anything above 10ms already, but I’ve played with 16+ when I started and it worked for pracitsing.

Not strictly an issue in that sense, but I am a musician that heavily uses software monitoring for guitars and vocals, meaning I rely on the lowest latency possible to play back the input.

Pipewire just isn’t quite there on the performance level of jack, but I also use realtime kernels and CPU governors to further reduce latency issues, so this is an extreme use case.

While the guy you replied to seens a bit unhinged, I have to agree that pipewire isn’t the holy grail some people make it out to be, but I guess it’s a better solution than pulse audio for 99% of general users.

Since when does Mario Kart have fire flowers?

Linux… snacks on something from his foot is not an operating system itself. It is merely the kernel, a part of the GNU slash Linux, or, as I’ve recently started to call it, GNU plus Linux operating system.

Like the Japanese fruit?

What happened to the guy, anyway?

No way the junkies will quit playing early-access AAA titles at any point, no matter the cost.

Is this real? I only heard that they injure their legs super easily and have to be killed.

Are they, like, super fragile or something?

I feel the same way, we have TFTs at work that are 20+ years old and still working just fine.

Of course that’s super bad for manufacturers if you just buy one monitor every 20 years.

Hey, I’ve got an idea!

You could replace those three additional character by using an h!
