yeah at this point it’s just skill issue

Distros building from source for their own repos may also be exempt then?

tech can be tasty too :)

I have a similar memory of when I was young, overhearing my older brother and my uncle talking about chips. I thought they were talking about oven chips (fries elsewhere in the world). They were talking about the semiconductor industry. All I could think about was yummy yummy carbs.

On an unrelated nore, I now work in the semiconductor industry.

in the UK we call them microcrisps

is there an article related to this?

waiting to see it ported to the HTC hd2

do ski socks count?

I also want to see RV develop to a point where it can compete with incumbents but sinkclose isn’t a hardware vulnerability. The issue here lies with AGESA, AMD will be moving to OpenSIL hopefully around 2026.

Furthermore, RISC-V is an Open ISA but that doesn’t necessarily mean products based on this remain open.

Isn’t this specific to AGESA rather than the hardware itself?

RISC-V ISA isn’t magically exempt from vulnerabilities. You can still be hit at a microcode level.

For AMD, I’m wondering if OpenSIL can help prevent similar, deep system firmware vulnerabilities from lingering cross numerous product generations.

I don’t think they announced any such recall?

will need to check it out. Thank you for the tip

Oh neat. Hope it works for your needs. Let us know how it goes.

Have been keeping an eye on https://fcast.org/ but haven’t gotten involved yet.

Since this is GCN based, you may be able to use the newer AMDGPU kernel driver? I’m not sure about that specific SKU, however. I remember that using AMDGPU on, for example, Hawaii (like the R9 290) was particularly finicky

I feel this. I strongly associate that design language they had with my studies.

Very sunny and relatively care free 😅

Do you have examples of the first one? Is this like, the designs we saw on the original Google now cards?

That’s fair enough, though one of the characteristics I had in mind was also battery life (that said, it would be at a given level of performance so either way).

Also definitely not thrilled about things like ME, Pluton and so on.

We’re a ways away from reaching equivalent performance characteristics of the currently available options they have with RISC V, but I would also love to see that as well.
