I looked into that and the only question I really have is how geographically distributed the samples were. Other than that, It was an oversampled study, so <50% of the people were the control, of sorts. I don’t fully understand how the sampling worked, but there is a substantial chart at the bottom of the study that shows the full distribution of responses. Even with under 1000 people, it seems legit.

In this study, we conducted a survey (n = 742) including a representative U.S. sample and an oversample of gender minorities, racial minorities, and disabled individuals to examine how demographic factors shape AI attitudes.

I have been using 6ghz for about a year or so now and I found it to be quite fast. MLO can be super weird sometimes and seems to get confused, but it works. (It’s probably just a driver I haven’t updated.)

There seems to hundreds of studies on that and there seems to be a fairly uniform “Yes” and “More than you would guess”, etc.

Here is one: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3233/ADR-220062

I am not sure if I would trust a company that claims a glorified fanny pack will protect your health from EMF radiation.

It’s worse. We are reverting back to the age of lügenpresse and hearsay comes in short-form video formats.

Many people simply do not care (or are even aware) if a source is trusted if the message aligns with their own bias or the message is presented as a new “fact”. Trust is irrelevant, unfortunately.

“real” is subjective.

Gamers Nexus recently made a video about GPU “shrinkflation”: https://youtu.be/2tJpe3Dk7Ko

It’s a neat comparison of Nvidia GPUs over the years.

Sorry if it sounded like my rant was directed at you as it absolutely wasn’t. Your comment triggered me, because I absolutely fully agreed with yours as well. ;)

setenforce 0 is much cleaner, I have found.

Its just complex

When a security mechanism becomes more complex to manage than what it is supposed to protect, it becomes a vulnerability itself.

If you had a minimal system that you built from the ground up yourself and wanted to only have that system function in very specific ways, SELinux would be perfect. I would go so far as to say it would be nearing perfection in some ways.

Sorry, but in the real world, ain’t nobody got time for that shit. If you use auto configuration tools or pre-canned configs for SELinux on a system you are unfamiliar with, it’s more likely to cause application issues, create security gaps and will likely be shut off by a Jr. admin who really has no fucking clue what he is doing anyway.

It’s just easier to keep your system patched and ensure basic network security practices anyway.

It’s not impossible to manage these days. In the early days it was, but most everything is automagic now. If I am not mistaken, SELinux can be enabled to ‘log only’ which would give you data better handled by a HIPS anyway. (Don’t quote me on that.)

Unfortunately, AI has the creativity of a turnip.

“Political headwinds” is putting it mildly.

As others have stated: https://riscv.org/about/

Now, there would still be a metric fuck ton of money involved. Chip fabs aren’t cheap, engineers aren’t cheap and project management isn’t cheap.

The open architecture means there is already a framework and R&D costs will also be limited. And yeah, no licensing fees like we already covered.

Without diving deep into RISC V, just because there is an open architecture doesn’t mean that there are machines capable of manufacturing whatever specs are required. Licensing fees for machining could be pure insanity.

Still, a few million (or billion?) is normal when it comes to making this stuff.

It seems that a few router types have WiFi + SoC setups now. (Like ones using the IPQ4019, for example.)

While that doesn’t significantly reduce the risk of something nasty, it would limit places for nasty code to hide. Well, “hide” in the traditional sense, like on another chip entirely.

However, I haven’t really looked into any drivers to see how these SoC’s are segmented to see if its really any different than the old MCU + WiFi chipset setups.

It depends on how bad China wants your porn. There could be secondary MCUs that are designed to completely bypass the original firmware. (Think Intel ME)

That is not very practical for consumer grade gear, but still possible.

So… All of them?

You just gave me an idea for the worlds fastest slip-n-slide, actually.
