That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance DystopiaEnglish5·11 hours agoSo this is what all this “kiss cam at Coldplay concert” is about. Pretty dull stuff.
One thing to note with facial recognition and security cameras is that you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
Another thing is that there are legitimate uses for extensive surveillance (catching spies, assasins and collaborators when your country is being invaded). While this is a somewhat extreme example, there are legitimate use cases outside of war time too.
It’s up to us as voters to elect governments that do not abuse surveillance technology.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Leaked roadmap suggests Intel Titan Lake in 2028 to fully ditch P-cores for speculated unified 100 E-core architecture, Razer Lake in 2027 to be the last P-core E-core designEnglish21·22 hours agoI believe the statement about 100 cores was just an example and not actually part of the roadmap.
It’s a fun read if you’re into this type of thing.

You still need ST performance, a lot of use cases will never be fully parallel.
I am not a pro with Linux, so people are welcome to correct me, but these would seem to be the viable options.
- Try and find a Linux distro release that can run on the last Kernel 3.4 LTS release.
- Search for a workaround/fix for the stuttering and/or reach out to the developers of the open source driver for the 3850.
I am not the author, just sharing.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How Apple’s iOS 26 and Google’s Android 16 Will Change Our PhonesEnglish5·1 day agoI agree. It also means that you can spend $300-$400 on a smartphone and it does everything without lag and at a high quality level. What’s more, you can use it for 3-4 years.
There are some niche use cases like specialist smartphone photography and high demand gaming where you might need a flagship, but IMO a relatively small part of the market.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How Apple’s iOS 26 and Google’s Android 16 Will Change Our PhonesEnglish13·1 day agoiOS has a design change, but otherwise there is nothing interesting. Smartphones have been around for a quarter of a century, both smartphone hardware and software are extremely mature.
Depends on the news site, in-demand US based articles get a full copy pretty quick. Somewhat more niche content can take time or it even never gets an archived copy.

Some of the difference between the 5000 and 6000 series are barely noticeable.

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A Prominent OpenAI Investor Appears to Be Suffering a ChatGPT-Related Mental Health Crisis, His Peers SayEnglish8·2 days agoI believe this sort of paranoia and delusional thinking are extremely common with schizophrenia.
The motifs in his word salad likely reflect his life experience.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A Prominent OpenAI Investor Appears to Be Suffering a ChatGPT-Related Mental Health Crisis, His Peers SayEnglish17·2 days agoI have no professional skills in this area, but I would speculate that the fellow was already predisposed to schizophrenia and the LLM just triggered it (can happen with other things too like psychedelic drugs).
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A Prominent OpenAI Investor Appears to Be Suffering a ChatGPT-Related Mental Health Crisis, His Peers SayEnglish10·2 days agoIt reads like “word salad”, which from my understanding is common for people with developed schizophrenia.
His text is more coherent (on a relative basis), but it still has that world salad feel to it.

Use cases were you must have quad channel memory?
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•Teams Call to Ransomware: Matanbuchus 3.0 MaaS Levels UpEnglish1·3 days agoPretty nasty piece of malware, although it seems these days malware is at comparable level of sophistication.
Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMto Hardware@lemmy.world•Firmware flaws in over 200 Gigabyte motherboards could lead to undetectable malwareEnglish6·3 days agoHowever, due to implementation flaws in Gigabyte’s firmware, attackers who gain elevated privileges – whether through local access or a remote exploit – could compromise SMM and ultimately gain full control of the system.
So you first need to get access via different security issues. For second I thought this firmware bug somehow allowed remote access.

Alphane Moon@lemmy.worldto Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•Insecure Shopify plugin exposed hundreds of stores| CybernewsEnglish7·4 days agoThe Consentik plugin adds cookie consent banners to customer websites. However, the unsecured server was broadcasting real-time site analytics and private authentication tokens, including Shopify admin credentials and Facebook ad tokens, to anyone on the internet who knew where to look.
This is brutal.
So this is more of a proof of a concept tech building block. From the article, it seems that this is mainly relevant for quantum computing and not regular computing.
