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.

• You probably need special equpment to conduct the laser test. Noone cares to get access to that or trusts the institutions that do. Anyway, the laser is fake, it gets redirected somewhere else.
• All phographs are faked anyway.

Their logic.

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.

This seems like a very logical and reasonable assessment, but I always wonder, somebody HAS to know this.

As in, the bomber pilots don’t know what their mission is really about, the generals just follow orders, but who decides on this?

Trump is too old/stupid to come up with such plans, so who is pulling the strings? His cabinet? The heads of the oil companies? How deep does this go? Also, it seems to permeate different administrations at this point.

I realise there’s probably no clear answer here, just wondering.

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.

I mean, that’s a pretty horrible case, but that video is a bit dumb.

It doesn’t show anything, really. There’s a fetus linked to a nuclear bomb and a skull arristically placed with some liquid around it people interpret to be oil because of the implication. You literally see such scenes all the time. It’s a bit of a coincidence that it was shown then, but still.

So what, do you think ghosts learned to video edit and animate scenes and fed it to some broadcasting network?

I would like to know what that footage is from, actually.

Like the Japanese fruit?

Whoa there, no reason to be that hostile!

What colour are tennis balls again?

The idea is that you would just need to simulate that level of detail if someone actually looks. You don’t have to simulate any atoms if nobody can see them. Computer games do this all the time to save ressources.

There is no real argument against a simulation just as there is none against god being an alien, just the probability is not in favour of it.

But I also believe life is just kinda what it is.
