I requested my data three days ago and got "Raw Data" and "Phased [...]" early today. Still waiting for the last set.


You're talking about FPGA tools but this thread is about VLSI design where the major EDA vendors (Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor) don't sell hardware(*) and *do* make a lot of money from software.

(*) Excluding emulators or simulation accelerators.


> You're talking about FPGA tools but this thread is about VLSI design

did you miss the part where the comment i'm responding to is about VTR?


My bad, I thought we were talking about ASIC designers, not VTR developers.


I happily used my Unicomps for more than 15 years. They're still fine but I got a Model F reproduction a couple of years ago. It's much more expensive but the feel is even better!


Ugh, don't tell me that! I've been thinking about those ungodly expensive keyboards for months...


I'm pretty sure my 2017 Macbook Pro (Intel, no Touch Bar) doesn't have a Secure Enclave chip, yet it supports Passkeys.


Hi,

I'm the author of the SlashID blogpost. You are right, the WebAuthn standard doesn't provide any guarantees on the authenticator storage security hence passkeys (and WebAuthn creds) can be stored in anything that speaks CTAP2.

We wrote a follow-up blogpost talking about the threat model in which we touch on the above: https://www.slashid.dev/blog/passkeys-security-implementatio...


You'd save the QR code at the time you first used it on the old phone, and not wait for when you needed to transfer it.

For me, I'd usually be on the desktop when setting up 2FA anyway, so I'd just save the QR code from the desktop browser ("Save image as ..."). When I needed to set up a new phone, I'd open the saved image on the desktop and point my phone at the screen.


That's an absurd expectation. First of all, many users don't even have or use a computer. Of course, I personally do have one, but I'm often nowhere near one when I set up MFA on a new account. So then I guess I screenshot the QR code to my phone? But if I saved the image to my phone it gets stored in my photos backup anyway. Why would Authenticator not just back its own contents up, to that exact same spot, rather than me doing some crazy runaround that for some reason involves images?


It’s completely outside the realm of reality to expect “normal” people to do this. Most tech people don’t even do it.


Why go through this trouble and risk forgetting and getting locked out when you can simply switch to a better app?


I've been using Emacs for more than 30 years and my init file is mostly loading and configuring extra packages, and not customizing the editing behavior. I have no problem working in a basic "emacs -q" session (which skips loading the init file) when I don't want to "pollute" my main session (eg. working with huge logs/dumps).


This is the way. While I do rebind plenty keys to enhanced or do-what-I-mean versions, I'm careful to avoid fundamentally change the meaning of any of the vanilla keys. So I see my config as more of a progressive enhancement over `emacs -q` or `mg` and I can still work with them just fine (if somewhat less comfortably).

Being able to work with `emacs -q` is also important to me for extending Emacs. It's easy to partially roll back a change if I break something in my config, and I can test out new elisp code against base Emacs.


This has gotten easier as the years go by, as well. Standard emacs has a lot of affordances that computers just couldn't do without bogging down the system years ago.


Sony's streaming service (Bravia Core) recommends >100Mbps for their highest quality streams:

https://electronics.sony.com/bravia-core

To access highest quality Pure Stream available at 80Mbps you must have a minimum internet speed of 115Mbps over Wi-Fi. Ethernet (wired LAN) connections are limited to 100 Mbps due to the TV’s product specifications. Therefore, to enjoy 80 Mbps with Pure Stream functionality, you need to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) that supports minimum IEEE 802.11 n/ac.


MythTV was the reason I bought and assembled my first x86 PC. I even bought a copy of Red Hat Linux 8 Personal (before Fedora) to run on it. That system became my main desktop PC and is still running more than 20 years later -- like a Ship of Theseus, with every hardware and software component upgraded multiple times. I'm not a progammer but I wanted to help fix bugs and add features, so it was also the reason I learned C++ and MySQL.

I still use MythTV (with additional PCs as backends and frontends) to record Comcast digital cable with HDHomerun Cable Card tuners. It also serves my small library of music files and can play DVDs and BluRay discs. I've ripped 4k UHD BluRay discs using MakeMKV and MythTV can play the files but the colors are wrong since a lot of the plumbing needs HDR support.


Unlike the CPUs, I think the AMD APUs that support ECC (the "Pro" versions) aren't available through normal retail channels.


Times have changed. My TV (a 2018 Sony) needed a firmware update to support Dolby Vision. My receiver needed a firmware update to support eARC.
