No we are not ok with it, where the hell did you pull that from? LNG shipments are also blocked.

Shaders are mini programs running on GPU. It is possible to exploit them as vulnerability. You do not want to trust client provided executable code.

Idk, seems like a reasonable hurdle to overcome. What if everybody compiles them and sends them in for a brief period and the server picks the most common results.

Yep - so maybe signed from NVIDIA's lab for the top n cards?

My DNS "server" is a router which can "add" static entries. Easy with static addresses, won't work with dynamic addresses.

What redundancy, multiple servers? Do you think everybody runs dedicated homelabs to access a raspberry pi.

Sounds like a pretty poor setup, systems which could auto-add DHCP'd or discovered entries have been around for literally decades. You're choosing to live in that limitation.

> What redundancy, multiple servers?

Multicast name resolution is a thing. Hosts can send out queries and other devices can respond back. You don't need a centralized DNS server to have functional DNS.

Anybody can send email with all of the dmarc stuff, how do you "be careful" with spoofed email?


> how do you "be careful" with spoofed email?

You actually verify DKIM and SPF—you know, that “dmarc stuff”. That’s enough to tell you the mail is not spoofed.


Oh god. Tell me you've never dealt with those in real life without telling me lol

Usually the very best you can do IRL is "probably fine" or "maybe not fine" and that's just not good enough to justify blocking customers. Email is an old tech and there's a lot of variation in the wild.


No more such thing as commit to the company in western world anymore. Companies are definitely not commited to you.

It applies to more things than computer security. Best defense is offense is a very old and broad say.

it's also why Germany started WW1 and what made it easy to put all the blame on them (after WW1, WW2 is a different thing)

and also is related to common war crimes iff in a conflict combatants frequently hide as civilians (as a defense by offense will sooner or later lead to attacking random civilians due to mistaking them for hidden combatants)

so I would take that saying with a bit of salt


Guerrilla warfare strategies undercut old saying like this and are essentially what these hacker groups represent

Smaller battery, slower max charging. Higher speeds are achieveed by parallelization.

They don't work. Chinese are skilled enough to desolder and smuggle just the ships themselves. They make the rest of GPU in-house. With more VRAM than the nvidia offers, comically, in case of 4090.


i have seen 96GB claimed on a 3090ti, but i anecdotally know someone with a 48GB 3090 bought from china, somewhere.

Heard that most android devs use iphones. You can see that, actually, with some silly annoyances never fixed.

Probably similar with Windows.


If the wait was a week/a month/a year/a decade, would you still consider that "ability"?


That’s the question, isn’t it? At what point does the liberty become essential?
