It’s not reading the contents of RAM via EM emanations, it’s using the EM emanations caused by certain memory access patterns as a side channel to exfiltrate data. Of course, that data could be anything, including whatever is in RAM, but the point is that you need to be running the code that generates the necessary memory access patterns to transmit the bits of data. This is not like TEMPEST where you can reconstruct a video display just using the emanations.

So that would make it 1.4m in the last two weeks which makes a big difference.

It would have been nice for the article to actually discuss these specifics. I’m not sure what we’re supposed to take away from it.

He doesn’t actually do the calculation required to give an estimate of what that number is.

Going on the stats in the article:

• assuming that Wukong has just surpassed the revenue of Steam Deck in the chart so we can treat their revenues as equal
• assuming Wukong price is $49.99 and average Steam Deck price is $500
• using the stat that 14m copies of Wukong sold on Steam so far

that would imply ~1.4m Steam Decks sold

The article does go on to say:

Keep in mind that by November last year, Valve said the Steam Deck had already sold “multiple millions”.

So really this (very rough estimate) is telling us nothing that we didn’t know already. The top seller charts are showing exactly what we would have expected to see.

I can see that you’ve taken on a lot of the feedback from previous comments threads. This is great! Thank you.

And thank you for open sourcing it.

Question: I was using Quiblr before without logging in. If I sign up an account now and log in, will it transfer my locally stored data into the account to keep the recommendation (see more/see less) settings?

I think for now Forgejo is a drop-in replacement. However since they are a hard-fork, at some point in the future they will diverge enough to be mutually incompatible, so the clock is ticking on migrating.

if I share some rice I made

FYI: rice is derived from a racist pejorative term. A lot of people in the desktop theming community have stopped using it.

• go to about:config
• type general.useragent.override
• if the key doesn’t exist yet, select the String option and click + button
• enter the useragent, eg. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 for Chrome/Windows

I’ve been using Firefox since the beginning, before that Mozilla, and before that Netscape Navigator.

But I think it’s finally time to switch to Librewolf.

I don’t want digital advertising of any kind, even if my privacy is “preserved” through fancy data-laundering.

You could try VanillaOS 2.0 Beta which is a Debian-based immutable distro, planned for final release later this year.

That’s kind of true, but MacOS and Mac OSX are 2 different things

Then Windows 3.0 and Windows 11 are two different things, so by that metric you can’t include Windows either.

all the way from 1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows

It’s easy to forget about MacOS when it only has 15% desktop market share.

Operating systems that started before 1991 that are still in active development (had a release in the last 12 months):

• Multics (1969-)
• MVS (1974-) via OS/390 (1995-) -> z/OS (2001-)
• VMS (1977) via OpenVMS (1992-)
• BSD (1978-) via 386BSD -> FreeBSD, NetBSD -> OpenBSD
• HP-UX (1982-)
• SunOS (1982-1994) via Solaris (1992-)
• MacOS (1984-)
• AIX (1986-)
• RISC OS (1987-)

Almost made it:

• Minix (1987-2017)
• Genera (1982-2021)
• AmigaOS (1985-2021)
• NeXTSTEP (1987-1997) via GNUStep (1993-2021)
• IBM i (1988-2022)
• SpartaDOS (1988-2022)

I think the post is supposed to link here: https://timemachiner.io/2022/06/18/windows-95-launch-video-reminds-us-how-90s-the-90s-were/

For some reason when I view the post it just links to a jpeg

This is the Windows 95 launch video in my mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kemivUKb4f4

He was in the airport, remember. Not in a local market.

I lost my earbuds in a remote town in Chile, so tried buying a new pair at the airport before flying out.

…

True Apple lightning devices are more expensive to make.

…

I wish @Apple would devote an employee or two to cracking down on such a technological, psychological abomination as this.

He wants to take away a budget option from developing countries where people can’t afford the expensive version of the proprietary technology, and he wants Apple to be the one to do it?

Fuck this guy.
