HaaS

Yep this

What is this referring to?

Don’t be ignorant. That isnt what this is at all. It’s not like the game has more access, it’s actually less. They’re just enforcing hardware attestation.

Basically just the motherboard saying, (cryptographically) yes as far as I know, the kernel and system running are secure and weren’t modified. And in this case they found a bad bug in that system, and next year they may start requiring people update their motherboard firmware to a version that doesn’t have the bug.

So this, is not a root kit, and does not grant them “bios access” they want to be unable to modify the BIOS / OS at boot just as much as they want cheaters to be unable to do that. It’s the same as the general cryptography paradigm, there is no secure backdoor to cryptography, and it’s the same here. If RIOT had access to the UEFI (BIOS), cheaters have access to it. They’re just leveraging an entirely safe attestation from the UEFI to say it is secure.

And to add to this, finding this bug is pushing UEFI security forward, and therefore anyone with an impacted motherboard. Bugs like this can be quite a big security vulnerability and implicate methods for malware to persist themselves inside the motherboard BIOS, or other shitty things you don’t want, and that are worse than the ‘Vanguard rootkit’

CBP, ‘civil forfeiture’ aka we can steal your shit, and all this shit is unconstitutional and illegal.

Yeah I mean clickbait titles gonna clickbait. Linux is great and steamos / proton are amazing. It’s incredible how well they do perform, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves lol.

Flip side, we are comparing a free and superior OS to windows, so I guess if you add up all the other things (assuming you like Linux) this is truly a RIP windows moment, but it depends on the audience. I.e. I’m happy to trade a few FPS to be free of Windows, but not necessarily all the AAA games, yet.

100%. At that point the data center is just stealing from everyone else.

Every one is just subsidizing the data center with their electrical, water, etc… Bill.

Love my pebble, and it isn’t a data sucking privacy nightmare. It’s simple and not addicting.

Exactly. The government can fuck anyone over and there’s nothing the citizens can do because there’s no jury nullification to hold the government in check for unreasonable laws.

Well that’s not fucked. Nothing says we’re going to charge you with 2 years and 364 days for doing whatever the fuck we don’t want you to do. And there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it.

Today,

Right. Nice to find someone here who actually understands some of the problems that make kernel level anticheat important. In modern FPS, server authoiritative everything is just not feasible. No gamer is going to accept the latency that would cause. Or when you look and suddenly you momentarily desynced and now your camera jerks back because the sever decided you tried to look around too quickly? People are so willfully ignorant about this topic.

maybe we could get away from needing it as badly if valve would provide a strong attestation that the kernel running is unmodified with a secure tpm solution, but they haven’t, so here we are.

Right I feel like an ultra simple car / truck with no fancy features but an electric motor would actually being something to market that would sell. Eap when it should be $30k or less.

Imo, better to allow it cautiously, with restrictions, and very explicitly mark code as AI generated when it is, than to have people submitting code secretly made by AI.

Furthermore, let’s be honest ‘AI’ regurgitates anything it “knows” about coding because of open source code. So take what you can get I guess. Just keep the quality up.

That’s the key. They want to mine and sell the data

Yeah cloudflare is too large.

I mean. Direct PCIe access has some serious security issues since it gives direct memory access. So def would want some more modern DMA security features enabled. Now granted probably only using a trusted device liek a gpu, so less of a deal. Basically == to plugging any other pcie device in.

Also not hotswappable is a pretty big deal. But again, pretty cool for external GPUs which feels like this would be targeted for.

This. Just leave it on your stove with oil / food in it til you’re ready to clean it. Then use soap water and a chainmail scrubber. Be as aggressive as you want. The smoother it is the better. If you have a cheap lodge, taking the time to actually use a sander will bring it to high quality smooth like a more expensive finex or other.

After cleaning toss back on the stove on the heat for like 1 min to dry it out and you’re good to go. Ideally toss a little oil in the pan after heating and use a paper towel to rub it around, but if you are in a rush don’t even have to do that.

God I fucking hate discord as a centralized place for anything open source. Seriously anything else. It’s just such a bad place to dissiminate information.

God. Why the fuck can we not stop spending money on killing eachother and instead invest in our future and let people just live their lives.

Oh yeah, I remember. Greedy psychopaths in power. Imperialism. Facism. Capitalism without regulation. Dictators who cling to power and don’t care about their own people. The list goes on.
