Im still here, but you should add me on other socials, for when the bird hits the window. Discord: CodeAsm#6005 @codeasm@mastodon.social github.com/CodeAsm keybase.io/codeasm codeasm.com/ tiktok.com/@codeasm_ or many other places, mostly codeasm.

When the BlackRock CEO says the quiet part out loud, it stops being a “conspiracy theory.” How did this quote not break the internet?

You may think you hate @Microsoft and @Office enough, but you don’t. One of the most valuable and profitable companies on Earth, essentially engaging in petty larceny. There is no low that @satyanadella won’t stoop to for an extra nickel. youtube.com/watch?v=KRnno9VI…

Cool (but needs cxl enabled. Compute Express Link)

CPUs tend to get slower with time. Probably not for the reason you’d expect. Unfortunately, many microcode updates are security related, which almost universally cause performance regressions…or even complete feature loss! Haswell might be the worst performing processor family of all time, in terms of features removed. TSX - concurrency instruction literally removed due to security concerns DX12 - removed / broken due to priv escalation Meltdown, Spectre, Foreshadow, MDS - all lead to perf regressions…for MDS specifically Red Hat and Microsoft still suggest disabling HyperThreading on Haswell! Over the life of a CPU, I’d expect the typical performance curve (from microcode) to look like: Initial Launch to 1 year, slight upward trend, platform maturing 1-2 years, mostly flat 2 years, likely downward trend. Enough time has passed where security people are starting to poke/write papers indirectly leading to vendor microcode regressions 6 years / EOL -> old CPUs start to have major regressions! I genuinely wonder if extremely performance-sensitive industries sometimes purposefully delay or otherwise remain on “stale” microcode…and just accept the additional risk.

Got user.interface.x legacy skins running in Theseus/UIX-Desktop. Project Mayhem, my beloved.

This is from an IBM presentation In 1979

TeamUIX has fully reverse-engineered the original 2001 Xbox dashboard and turned it into a real PC application called UIX Desktop. It uses authentic Xbox code, so it is much more than just a visual theme or skin. The project, also known as Theseus, recreates the complete dashboard with all the classic animations, menus, and feel from the old console. >The app runs natively on Windows, Linux, and Mac. >You can manually add your Steam games with their setup tools and launch them straight from the old Xbox-style interface. >Xbox modders from TeamUIX have worked on this for around six years. It started during the COVID period and is now in early access.

Metal Gear Solid 2 source code (HD version) just leaked alongside raw uncompressed assets. Yes it's real, I never thought this would happen.

I’ve been keeping a secret for 5 years… For the first time, I’ll reveal the hidden 5th USB port on the original Xbox and how @MakeMHz spent the last year making the impossible possible with over 250,000 software patches. 🧵

This is what makes web development so tricky 🫣

Important to say that this is applicable for some people with ADHD, not all, and can be situation dependant. Some can hyper focus on people too. “Divergence” is the key here. (Aware the original post wasn’t saying that, but people often apply a “catch all” when they read things)

Guard dog.. 😅

I’m french and today I got an email from my government saying our ID got leaked due to a data breach. It pisses me off because it’s the same government that’s pushing for Age verification. This will most likely reoccur and be more common as age verification becomes mandatory Now a random hacker has my data… I’m tired of this authoritarian system
