Joined myself today, Only problem I have seems to be lack of work units .

Cpu has had the one whilst GPU is still crunching.

Quoting: HoriI wonder how much of it is due to people staying at home to avoid the coronavirus

Btw guys, seriously, do stay at home.

:dizzy:

Not feasible for 99% of the working population.

Nice!

Just need some nice soul to do a GUI app that also sets it system wide ,

Quoting: LeonardKoh, there we go, I thought I was fast enough debunking the tinfoil but apparently I wasn't. The paper was done by the same researchers who already "targeted" Intel multiple times and the researchers never claimed AMD CPUs being exploitable either. However, they're research found that the L1d predictor is vulnerable, which can prove useful in future research.

I agree but reverse engineering a component then simulating it without knowing that it's correct then missing rest of the CPU/firmware safe guards is misleading.

It's a totally valid approach. We have to remember that this is a *research paper*, not someone claiming "they hacked AMD". They pick one component and anlyse it, they don't "misleadingly leave out". In the paper itself, they also explicitly state the model and attack vector. But one can also guess at how irrelevant the paper is to *systems administrators* by it not being pushed by the researches, there's no big website as with meltdown/spectre/lvi etc.

I understand it's a valid approach, Their method of analysis is fine on a academic level, In practice it's very flawed due to obvious reasons.

Trouble is it has been mislead as an actual vulnerability/possible exploit when it's not by various media outlets/headlines.

Quoting: pete910It's PR stunt paid by Intel again.

They isolated the L1 design and simulated an attack ignoring the rest of the CPUs design/safe guards.

So whilst possible when simulated but so is me drilling through a 6" thick steel plate with my finger under simulation given the right coding :wink:

Quoting: pete910Regardless of where you want to buy games from is no reason to wish/say such things about any firm/devs ect. You've basically ssaid you want people to lose there jobs just so you can buy "x" game on another store.

No I didn't. I said I would prefer them on a store with better consumer friendly policies, and the original post could have motivated that change.

Even if I had said that, there is nothing bad about it. There are plenty of places I don't shop, or media I don't partake in, or events I avoid for one reason or another. I'm not supporting everything just so people don't lose their jobs.

Stop trying to back-pedal, The original post was plain vindictive.

Man up and admit it and we'll leave it at that.

I hope prospective devs/publishers reading this particular thread don't think this is how linux gamers/users as a whole think.

Quoting: BoldosUmmm, GPU = 0% at all times?
Anyone else has this issue?

Fine here too

Quoting: JJNovaI'm actually disappointed that they aren't in trouble. If they were in a situation, maybe they would sell their games somewhere other than Steam.

What a ridiculous thing to say!

*shrugs*

They currently aren't making any games for people that prefer their privacy to playing games. Seems weird to think that them distributing on more platforms would be bad for consumers.

*face plams*

Regardless of where you want to buy games from is no reason to wish/say such things about any firm/devs ect. You've basically ssaid you want people to lose there jobs just so you can buy "x" game on another store.

As stated by others, 99% of the time it's not ferrals decision to make. Which in turns makes the statement you make even more ridiculous due to your lack of knowledge of porting/licencing games/software/propriety IP.

And please, stop with the BS "Privacy" rhetoric.

Quoting: Liam DaweUpdate: Phoronix removed the article, and placed up an apology.

Partly due to the stick he was getting for it too I reckon .

Think he realised his error in eagerness to jump in without clarification so to speak.

It would have come across more sincere if it was published like all the others and not buried 3/4 way down the front page!
