[22:15] psydruid in that you can install GNU/Linux on a lot of cheap used hardware and keep it useful for many years to come [22:15] psydruid I don't know if it is going to do anything for shareholders [22:15] psydruid other than defraud them [22:17] psydruid I read a bit about Intel's Alder Lake line of chips yesterday [22:17] psydruid lots of marketing and of course the obligatory mentions of Vista 11 [22:18] activelow heterogenous smp is a bad design choice [22:18] psydruid but what I took away from it is that they could put 16 small cores in place of 4 big cores within the same power budget [22:18] psydruid I doubt they will actually do that, because it doesn't fit their narrative [22:18] activelow and it is heterogenous smp [22:19] psydruid but here I have 2 weak cores and with GNU/Linux it works just fine [22:19] activelow because those weak cores aren't weak [22:19] psydruid indeed [22:20] activelow heterogenous SMP is crap [22:21] MinceR why? [22:21] activelow scheduler [22:21] activelow SMT is crap too [22:21] activelow hyperthreading i meant, similar problems [22:22] *mib_eznpcg (~519aac55@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights [22:22] activelow AMD's multicore design with Bulldozer wasn't benefitial either, complicated scheduling again [22:22] schestowitz-TR hyperthreading causes issues too [22:22] schestowitz-TR ask Intel :-) [22:31] *inky has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) [22:32] *inky (~inky@46.36.119.19) has joined #techrights [22:34] activelow something is fundementally wrong: https://www.ebay.de/itm/283993496344?hash=item421f54db18:g:AJ4AAOSwOyNfh8Uc [22:34] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.ebay.de | T95 4+32GB Android 10.0 OS 2.4G WLAN Smart TV BOX Allwinner H6 6K Media Streamer | eBay [22:35] activelow the price of this is 44Euros, and a developer board with the same hardware without enclosure costs twice as much. why??? [22:35] activelow and it is time taxes are paid for this [22:35] *mib_eznpcg has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) [22:35] *mib_eznpcg (~519aac55@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights [22:37] activelow now, imagine this, a TV-box for 44Euros is sufficiently powerful to serve as high-performance unix workstation [22:38] MinceR might not run the "modern" web quickly though :> [22:38] activelow yes, that's why the industry blows up and clusterfucks everything, because otherwise they couldn't sell more than a tv-box for 44euros in 10years to a customer [22:40] activelow sadly, i couldn't verify yet if uboot loader can be fully replaced and any custom firmware "flashed" such as mine [22:43] activelow and, the market is flooded with those boxes, while developer SBCs are rarely available, if at all [22:43] activelow iirc this too was related to the discussion about "tivoization" and GPL2 and GPL3 [22:49] schestowitz-TR does anyone want to read an article draft about IBM? [22:50] schestowitz "We Build Fedora and then IBM Blacklists us" [22:50] schestowitz it would help to have another pair of eyes and set of opinions [22:50] schestowitz I can insert quotes from y'all [22:50] schestowitz it's uploading the video atm ● Aug 20 [23:00] *mib_eznpcg has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [23:04] activelow swapped a cortex a72 box (heterogenous SMP, hexacore 2GHz max) with an a53 one recently (quadcore 1.2GHz max) [23:06] activelow didn't bother yet with replacing Intel SIMD (SSE), for some older games to utilize Neon instead, nonetheless software rendering on CPU is OK [23:07] activelow 640x480@40FPS [23:08] activelow with Neon SIMD this should be at least twice as much, and memory bandwidht isn't fully unleashed on a53/mali-mp2 with open-source uboot [23:12] activelow a quadcore a53 with 1GiB RAM (should be 2GiB at least) is available for 30Euros [23:12] *GNUmoon2 has quit (connection closed) [23:12] *GNUmoon2 has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [23:13] schestowitz draft: http://techrights.org/2021/08/20/we-build-fedora-and-then-ibm-blacklists-us/ [23:13] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Imperialistic Blacklist Machines: Racist IBM and Red Hat Just Like Donald Trump Have Turned Fedora Into an Utterly Racist Project That Blacklists, Shuns and Permanently Bans People Based on Their Nationality Alone | Techrights [23:19] schestowitz some, but not many, typos expected [23:19] schestowitz could use assistance by another reader [23:19] schestowitz *from [23:20] kingoffrance i will proofread if you have a link [23:20] schestowitz-TR see above [23:22] kingoffrance hmm, some ppl dont like sentences ending (inside parens) but never bothered me [23:22] kingoffrance i consider it style preference [23:24] kingoffrance they farm in malicious sites like GitHub, in which -> using malicious sites ..., where . [23:25] schestowitz-TR corrected, saved [23:25] kingoffrance an certainly notice that as a project Fedora -> as project Fedora -- drop the "a" [23:25] kingoffrance no, nevermind, sorry [23:25] kingoffrance i misread as "Project Fedora" [23:25] kingoffrance because "Planet Fedora" right before [23:25] schestowitz-TR i will amend [23:26] kingoffrance well that's not you, that's how they name things [23:26] kingoffrance When induction, deduction and stigma/stereotypes intersect the racism -> intersect, add comma? [23:27] kingoffrance This a dark day for the Fedora -> this is a [23:28] schestowitz-TR aye [23:28] kingoffrance final sentence (not that the media bothered mentioning it; maybe it expects journalism to just be repetition of a press releases from IBM rather than investigation of what many insiders say this week). . i think just make its own sentence (no parens) works [23:29] schestowitz-TR true [23:29] kingoffrance of a press releases -> of press releases, or of a press release [23:29] schestowitz-TR I did this in a rush [23:33] activelow FullHD on Intel is crap, 1080p@60Hz doesn't fit into the VESA specification, and special "drivers" required for HDMI-out [23:33] activelow GPU-accelerated video de/encoding is crap, should be done on CPU with SIMD, otherwise again a bloated GPU software stack is required [23:35] activelow seems to me the Wintel industry aligned to "gamers" and hollywood needs only [23:37] *techrights_guest|69 has quit (Quit: Connection closed) [23:37] *techrights_guest|85 has quit (Quit: Connection closed) [23:44] activelow THIS is the situation of both free and open source hardware and software: https://j-core.org/turtle/prototype.jpg [23:50] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrights [23:50] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@7zmmwv4qqhr7u.irc) has joined #techrights [23:53] schestowitz also new: http://techrights.org/2021/08/20/defining-oneself-with-pr/ [23:53] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | [Meme] Companies Dont Get to Define What They Are (We Need to Check and Verify) | Techrights [23:55] activelow the industry *brainwashed* developers [23:55] activelow all of them, including GNU [23:55] schestowitz The fictional idea of "liberal" press and "liberal" tech companies...

Even a "crap" CPU such as cortex a53 can render 3d video games in software, and i din't bother yet with any Neon SIMD [23:57] schestowitz games also? [23:57] schestowitz with many pol;ygons rendered? [23:57] schestowitz mesa is free software [23:57] schestowitz the bigger issue is those proprietary GPUs [23:57] schestowitz with maybe hundreds of millions of tiny proprietary transistors [23:57] activelow i do not invest much time into games, but i check them since i know them since 1990s and can compare to modern ones [23:57] schestowitz in the design sense [23:58] schestowitz which in turn shove 500,000 lines of code into the linux kernel [23:58] activelow quake1/2 render nicely in software, prboom too [23:58] schestowitz to control those transistors [23:58] activelow and this is without any SIMD floating point involved yet [23:58] schestowitz yeah [23:58] schestowitz well, mediocre [23:58] schestowitz mass propduction [23:58] schestowitz it's a numbers game [23:58] schestowitz bugs are OK [23:59] schestowitz not expensive for companies that make the defects [23:59] schestowitz they're not even held accountable [23:59] schestowitz no mass recalls [23:59] schestowitz they give us "patches" to "work around" the defects [23:59] MinceR the FSF maneuvered itself into a disaster [23:59] schestowitz when?
