I mean they're a mega corp willing to lose billions upon billions to own the market. That none of their competitors are willing to bleed money like that isn't surprising, and buying into such an obviously poisoned platform is not a good idea for the future of the industry unless you want it to be owned by Meta.
Good read. Makes sense and not even that complex, good that they did this experiment anyway just to prove it out to those less technical and try to get prevention steps out there.
Technically AMD also offers an open Vulkan driver (AMDVLK), it's just dog shit, and an open compute driver (Rocm), its just also bad, and an open OpenGL driver (Radeonsi), which is solid.
Those three are all primarily developed by AMD engineers and are fully open. Nvidia has no such open equivalents.
It's not raw framerates that are bad now, developers pushing tech is not a bad thing and has been how gaming has been since it's invention, aside from the "dark ages" of X360 ports where PC just meant 360 graphics at crazy res and framerates.
The problem nowadays is games are straight unplayable even at lowered settings or extreme hardware due to shader compilation or streaming stutters. This is just bad programming with no fix aside from an engine rework, and most devs don't have engine programmers anymore since they just ship UE4/5
That's because they're losing billions selling it. If it cost what it actually took to produce it wouldn't be the best on the market anymore, they're trying to bully out players who can't afford to lose billions for years until they're in total control.
As far as we know, yes. The initially detected backdoor injected itself only to RPM and DEB build artifacts.
That said, the threat actor was working on it for 2 years so there's a chance there are other backdoors. People are still reviewing everything they did over that time.
They're legally allowed to keep shelf stable milk unrefrigerated, and it's totally normal here. Same for eggs. We don't bleach our eggs though like some places.
It's pretty drastically harder to register 100 phone numbers, especially in your target region, than 100 email addresses. Major spammers and such work with automation across many accounts, this isn't designed around someone with 10 accounts.
