Unfortunately. I have seen some ISPs DHCP servers assign IPs with no particular subnet(s). Could be a case here as well.

I read the current Starlink system has a limitation where if you move outside of your assigned service "cell", you lose service. Guessing this is still the case.

Fair enough

I wasn't implying that wildcard records are something entirely incompatible with DNSSEC, more that certain nameserver implementations could potentially have trouble with them.

To quote from the Slack engineering report

> This indicated there was likely a problem with the ‘*.slack.com’ wildcard record since we didn’t have a wildcard record in any of the other domains where we had rolled out DNSSEC on

I'm not going to stick my hand in either camp for the sake of this discussion, but dynamic/wildcard DNS records are exactly the type of thing I'd suspect DNSSEC to have trouble with

I noticed that too. However there is realtime translation by volunteers, and they seem to do a good job.

I guess the idea is if you're studying EE and related fields: "crawl before you can walk"

This. Some standards bodies (arguably) made a big deal about client certificates some time ago to reliably pin client identities for client->server connections (whether it worked is a different story), and I certainly think having functionality for the reverse (pinning server identities) should exist too.

Doesn't have to be Gemini even, but I think getting buy in from browser vendors after the removal of HPKP is going to be a problem...

Does SourceHut support other change workflows than just email patches or has anyone else integrated such? (i.e a "PR" style module, Gerrit, etc.)

How exactly do you test your own GPU "rendering" under macOS?

> Except they already do. Also, AMD announced SmartShift ("shifts power inside your laptop for the optimal performance for a given task") support for Linux a couple of days ago. They're more than usable nowadays.

Interesting, thanks!

> Probably a popular opinion here, but any display with a higher res than 1440p (1600p if it's a 16:10 display) is a waste on a laptop. I'd rather have a 1080p one over a 4K one, personally.

I don't disagree that 4k is a little nuts on a ~15" laptop LCD, but it seems until recently you're options for decent >1080p displays on laptops for the most part were a) Macbooks (2880x1800 at 15.4"), and b) 4k PC laptops

Talk to me when decent laptops with AMD dedicated and/or APU graphics and >1080p IPS displays exist.

I wasn't opposed to the 220dpi of the older Macbook Pros (2880x1800 @ 15.4),but otherwise this is what I want.

I've heard good things about Clevo based designs in the past but even those seem to be questionable now.

> This all makes me think there is some other microcontroller somewhere that controls the bios flashback process, which would almost certainly be an extra chip.

I believe they just have some sort of extra microcontroller wired to a USB port and the SPI flash chip that stores the BIOS, probably with some sort of switch to ensure the host can't touch the SPI flash when the external microcontroller is attempting to flash it.

Yup. I still have both motherboards, the "broken" RAM and the good RAM actually.

I didn't believe it at first, but just being able to move the mouse around and play audio over USB and not having it lag was enough proof.

I have something interesting about USB input latency to share.

In 2014 I built a new computer with a i5-4590 CPU, ASUS Z97-A motherboard and 8GB of Kingston DDR3-1866 memory.

One thing I instantly noticed was that my mouse (Logitech G400) would feel "delayed" compared to my older computer from 2010 (i3-550, Intel DH55HC motherboard). I could have the same OS (tested Win7 and Ubuntu), GPU and monitor between both computers and switch, and the difference was that obvious.

Another problem I had was DPC latency under Windows with driver: "usbport.sys". USB audio would drop out in correlation with DPC latency spikes and I believe it was related to the mouse latency. Under Ubuntu I had the same problem and logged a dmesg message that said "retire_capture_urb: x callbacks suppressed", with the same symptoms.

I got so frustrated I stopped using the new desktop and went back to my old desktop and a new laptop for about 2 years, after wasting my time running Prime95, MemTest86 for over 24 hours, and swapping the motherboard with another model that let me disable HPET (Supermicro C7Z87-O)

In the end, last year I decided to work on it again and swap the memory with some Corsair 2X4GB DDR3-1333 memory and just like that, the DPC lag spikes were gone, USB audio didn't drop out and my mouse stopped lagging.
