  1. it isn't about what I allow them run on my computer, it's about what they don't allow me run on my own goddamn computer. you can't run modded biıs, self compiled kernel or unsigned drivers. with secure boot enabled.
  2. They also have fake artists they put on playlists :P
  3. Should be so, multiplier is locked at cpu level not firmware.
  4. They aren't limiting supplies, they can't scale up the production: https://www.reuters.com/commentary/breakingviews/chinas-chip...
  5. We're not talking about "when people usually", we're in this subthread and you're the only person talking about init here.
  6. Problem here is I haven't seen SAS connectors in any consumer motherboard.
  7. It isn't plastic, though, it's aluminum.
  8. Who said anything about an init system?
  9. > What does "not a good look" even mean in this context?

    it's a kind way of saying they're being assholes?

  10. > helps a lot on HDD by virtue of having far less disk traffic

    Still doesn't matter because we're talking about init ramdisk here. It's a sequential file loaded into RAM before the kernel. Whether it's 5MB or 20MB would't matter much even on a hard drive. After that it's all in RAM anyway.

  11. Crypto miners isn't comparable at all. They were buying finished products and immediately putting them into use.
  12. He's kinda right even though he's kinda wrong.

    He's confused about the retribution thing. Korean manufacturers aren't afraid of US to restart DDR4 manufacturing. They don't want to restart it anyway. But I'm pretty sure I've recently read it somewhere credible that they'd normally sell their old machinery but now they can't because they're afraid China would be the eventual buyer (via proxies) and they'd be inadvertently in violation of US sanctions , so instead of selling they just locked down the old machinery to gather dust instead.

    And about DDR4 not being relevant, even though DDR4 manufacturing stopped earlier this year and DDR4 prices have been slowly but steadily increasing long before this crisis, after the crisis DDR4 prices have also tripled just like DDR5 prices, even in the used market. So regardless of whether it's a real demand or panic response, the effect is still real on people wanting to upgrade their DDR4 systems. These people who probably just wants to update RAM in their systems in the hope that it'd help them delay their switch to DDR5 systems for a few years while bracing the impact. Had Chinese manufacturers continued to manufacture DDR4 at least this wouldn't be that bad for the existing system upgrades of DDR4 systems.

  13. They didn't buy "manufactured goods", they reserved 40% of the yearly wafer output for the whole world that haven't even been made yet for themselves.
  14. I hope they randomize it in the future like they do it for mac addresses.
  15. > HDMI is an invention, right?

    DVI was an invention.

    HDMI just added DRM on top of it.

  16. I see what you did there :P
  17. oh, that's the answer :d
  18. When I open the page all I see is:

    > Chats with third-party apps are only available in select regions and may not be available to you.

    Even the FAQ page is geo restricted. What a shitty attitude.

  19. Set modules=dep in (https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/initramfs-tools/initramfs...) and run update-initramfs.

    I doubt that'll affect boot time but it reduces initrd.img size a lot.
