    Meltdown and Spectre CPU Vulnerabilities

    Here's an article put out by the Raspberry Pi Foundation about why the R Pi is not vulnerable along with an explanation of speculative execution.

    Meltdown and Spectre CPU Vulnerabilities

    If you don't have the latest patch from your mobo manufacturer, check their driver's page and look for any BIOS updates. I've seen most companies still release files that have to be updated from the BIOS via a flashing utility, but you might be able to upgrade from Windows or DOS as well. Your manufacturer should have exact instructions. Whatever you do, absolutely make sure you have the right motherboard when you get the drivers. The people that advise updating your motherboards are mainly referring to the fact that each manufacturer is responsible for patching their boards according to Intel's fixes. You might want to check your manufacturer's support page to see the affected boards. Keep in mind that a lot of these patches were already pushed out before public disclosure. Generally BIOS updates aren't all too important, especially since they run the risk of bricking your mobo if you do something like flash a BIOS image for another mobo or lose power while flashing. Most BIOS updates are to fix bugs in the BIOS or add more hardware support. Keep updating as much as possible. Microsoft has always had a draconian update system with Patch Tuesday, but you'll want to just keep being updated with the latest security patches.

    More like all VM software developers on suicide watch. Stock price changes are typical Wall Street investors not knowing jack shit and panicking for a profit, hence why AMD and Nvidia rises while INTC is falling. The only lasting impact from this will be the hardware engineers having to redesign an entire generation, security researchers and pen testers doing incidence response once this gets exploited in the wild over the next few weeks, and VM devs who literally just get massacred by performance hits.

  10. Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... Damn underachiever. They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike. I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me... Or thinks I'm a smart ass... Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us will- ing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert. This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

  14. the blockchain is possibly the most overinflated and overrated piece of technology right now. its essentially the tech world's equivalent of saying donald trump or loot box and its really disgusting to see companies gloat about the blockchain and have investors sperg out whenever the word blockchain is uttered. the blockchain in and of itself is an interesting technology that should overshadow crypto, but really both of them arent that useful. crypto would be useful if it werent treated as a commodity. its sad to see all these big altcoins like monero and ethereum be invested into like bitcoin or litecoin just because its another crypto. it really just defeats the whole purpose of having a currency if no one is actually using it to make transactions. that being said, the blockchain is cool but there is seemingly no real use for it besides decentralized currencies/commodities. there is little reason to use that infrastructure over any other one unless you specifically benefit from being decentralized, relatively anonymous, and completely public. as much as i like decentralized networks, almost all actual applications of the blockchain would be better serviced with a centralized database rather than the blockchain. the blockchain is being misused in so many different ways just because its a dumb buzzword and investors love the word blockchain. the blockchain is cool but poorly implemented and people should really think again before trying to implement it into whatever retarded hedgefund startup they're trying to make. i bet the next big thing will be an internet of things self-driving solar powered water cooler that processes transactions with a blockchain to deliver fresh water from local rivers. also i turn around and look down and theres just some melted chocolate thats been sitting there for over 12 hours.
  15. i like the system of using the blockchain and leaving messages with each transaction as a post. the entire ledger would be all threads with each transaction to a person being a message in some arbitrary fashion. this gets away with the typical topic and comment format with purely just branching reply chains from a single epoch. all transactions are hence reasonably anonymous but still publicly accessible. this still goes to say that the blockchain is a pretty cool technology that is much more important than retarded cryptocurrencies but i still cant think of a single good implementation for them because very few systems benefit strictly from being anonymous and decentralized in this way while not being better made with some other system.

    Most well made platformers give you extra room to jump after you go off the ledge. Goes back to Mario and its painfully obvious that the game isn't well made if it doesn't have this and/or if it doesn't give you a dead zone where you can move without the camera moving.
