Cool stuff. Sucks that the prefetching process cannot be disabled on cryptographic operations with the M1 and M2 Macs.
I purchased an M1 and I don’t feel any appreciable slowdowns or need to upgrade to a newer computer. This kind of vulnerability skews that decision, and I’m not especially happy about it.
“You should have known what the intent of the question was. Management won’t know or care about the internals of your code as long as it meets requirements. You have failed this test.”
Or
“You should know that you’re calling a function with invalid parameters. Where did you get your CS degree from again?”
If power is priceless, then they’re going to get a screaming deal because I’m willing to bet that some company is going to offer several hundreds of millions for TikTok.
I get what you’re saying though. As far as I know, this decision is a first of its kind for the US. They’ve usually used laws and government contracts to influence things like data processing and storage locations for companies handling things like PII and financial information. Forcing local ownership is honestly more in line with something that China would do which is a little ironic.
It’s sort of similar, but the US government isn’t seizing TikTok. It, when the legislation is signed, will force sale to a US entity or otherwise prevent the usage in the United States.
ByteDance will probably get somewhat close to fair market value for the application, after all of the lawsuits and legal challenges are over with
Pretty much. This is one particular form of damage control for an attacker who has the keys to your system. I think there were more urgent security concerns that occur in the untrusted zone.
Reverse engineering of hardware is quickly becoming too complex for non-machine-assisted workflows. I’d imagine this type of destructive chip really only makes sense cryptology modules, but unless a designer can also manufacture the chip in-house or otherwise guarantee against supply chain attacks, this is a half measure.
This is a great example of good intention and awful execution.
Getting that label on a child’s toy should provide a parent with useful information. What’s the harmful chemical and where on the product is it located? Is it acid in the battery? Is it the grease between some moving parts that can end up in a kids mouth? Is it the paint on a high-wear surface?
Instead, we have labels that are on half of everything sold in stores with no easy way to find out what exactly manufacturers are referring to. It’s worthless.
I would have really loved playing this game on my Steamdeck but looks like the only way that’s happening is with some sprinkles of what Nintendo calls piracy
I’ll miss Timesplitters and those scenarios or whatever with almost impossible gold medal accomplishments. That and the music! Every other track was a banger
And yet they haven’t. How does Biden’s administration force a board to vote one way or another? A board which is required to have ~50% Dem/Repub membership to avoid partisanship?
Just because somebody is appointed doesn’t mean that they are robots who do somebody else’s bidding
I’m assuming they wanted the literal length of the string
