    Maybe Intel isn’t the only company burning from within…

      AMD also recently dropped Linux support from the Vivado free tier. Although the support they had before was really bad

        AMDGPU has also had major issues since kernel 6.18 that they (AMD, not the linux kernel team, they know) refuse to acknowledge.

        There might be a Linus rant about that one soon…

          Linus gives me the creeps.

          Holler at me when Louis Rossman is on their asses.

    I didn’t know memory was ever encrypted. I mean why would it be?

        If I had my way, everyone’s drives and ram and whatever would be encrypted from top to bottom with extremely strong keys that only the user had access to. Nobody needs to have access to your stuff except you, and it doesnt matter if you are the most law-abiding citizen in the world who does nothing but eat bread and read the news paper every day, your privacy is sanctamount (whether you agree with this or not). Medical records, bank statements, tax records, private journals, etc. are just a few examples of data that mundane people with “nothing to hide” deserve to have protected to the nines.

      But for real. Technofascists will keep making everything worse until there are consequences. Riot in the streets would certainly send that message. Though there are so many things worth rioting over.

        If you fucking nerds riot over a computer chip before we riot because of a genocide I’ll be pissed.

    Who would want memory encryption for the hoi polloi to be quietly removed and what colour hat would you think they might wear.
