The funny part is that rather than respecting this, they chose to cryptographically pair the parts, so they stop working if you replace them…

Being pedantic, but…
The amd64 ISA doesn’t have native 256-bit integer operations, let alone 512-bit. Those numbers you mention are for SIMD instructions, which is just 8x 32-bit integer operations running at the same time.
Only slightly related, but here’s the compiler flag to disable an arbitrary 2GB limit on x86 programs.
Finding the reason for its existence from a credible source isn’t as easy, however. If you’re fine with an explanation from StackOverflow, you can infer that it’s there because some programs treat pointers as signed integers and die horribly when anything above 7FFFFFFF gets returned by the allocator.
That’s going to be a fun way to learn pod tolerances and affinities. Although… it’s also a great way to play around with multiarch clusters without accidentally burning a hole in your wallet from AWS/GCP usage.
giving their 1st party native apps advantageous functionality competitors can’t (yet)
Perhaps one day, other developers may be allowed into the holy land of JIT recompilation.
2024 is going to be the year of the Linux Desktop enshittification. When anything you love goes public, you won’t be loving it for much longer.
After Netflix started offering streaming, I stopped considering piracy as a worthwhile option. Now, it’s actually easier to pirate whatever the fuck you want to watch than figure out what streaming service it’s on, and which of your friends has the account you’re all sharing.
Not available anymore because we didn’t pay for licensing? Too bad, no refunds on your search.
Oh no, a more expensive subscription (for insurance) for a car that makes you already subscribe to be a beta tester of a technology that runs you into the side of a train!
It’s pretty good if you’re a Nazi or Elon fan, I imagine.
I’m genuinely surprised something owned partly by the Chinese government isn’t at the bottom.
I hope you used protection!
Poison the well by using AI-generated comments and answers. There isn’t currently a way to reliably determine if content is human or AI-generated, and training AI on AI is the equivalent of inbreeding.
AI-generated content trained on LLMs is poison for training, so that’s actually a good thing :)
Yup. Laws are only suggestions until you get caught.
Oh, look, now you get it!
I have one account. It’s not my fault you can’t interpret impersonal language correctly.
My phone can’t play BluRay disks.
My computer can’t natively play BluRay disks.
My iPad can’t play them.
My only option is to pay for yet another HDMI device because of BluRay’s DRM and sit down in front of a TV that I may not actually even own. That’s both an additional waste of money and inconvient compared to watching an episode on my phone during lunch.
Or I can use software to crack the DRM and rip the disk to video files, which is a violation of the DMCA and brings us right back to being illegal.
Fuck streaming services, but also fuck DRM-encumbered pieces of plastic and foil. I’ll buy the movie on a subscription-free service as a token gesture and pirate it.
I share the DIY repair sentiment, but the other commenter was right. You saved them money by opting yourself out of their warranty, which is free to you, but costs them money. Now, if you had used the warranty and then repaired things yourself after it’s no longer free, that would be a nice FU to them.
