Just port this thing in your UEFI loader and age verification compliance is solved for.

thanks to AI demand, Lattice cannot make enough FPGAs to fulfill orders on iCE40's (and probably ECP5's) with less than a year of lead time. this is likely to cause supply chain issues for Glasgow revD

words cannot describe my contempt for this shit, and my disdain for anyone still pushing it

(there is no shortage or supply chain issues with the silicon itself. rather, the problem here is the resin used to make a part of the packaging. in theory it would be possible to just glue a die to the PCB and bond it out during assembly, in practice this would be prohibitively expensive as far as I know)

First Post! Uh, I mean, First CHERIoT Silicon!

We have our first chips back! It is very exciting! Spatial and temporal memory safety, fine-grained compartmentalisation, and also a load of other big chips on a board, so you can play 'Where's ICENI?' on the board picture!

First CHERIoT Silicon!

Welcome to the CHERIoT Platform, a hardware-software co-design project that provides game-changing security for embedded devices.

@ignaloidas BTW, it's well-documented in China that anti-drone jammers are used by farmers for sabotaging competitors or personal revenges. So yes, civilian electronics warfare is a thing here. Some people claim China has the most sophisticated drone EW capabilities in the battlefield for this reason (since even mass-produced civilian systems have some countermeasures for immunity). I believe it's a joke, but considering how much improvised civilian equipment is used in the Russia-Ukraine war, it probably has an element of truth.

I'm sure for many of you this won't be news but it was for me and I thought it was interesting so I'm sharing!

"In the film The Matrix, Switch was originally meant to change genders upon entering the Matrix, which coined their name "Switch". In the real world, Switch would be male, and in the Matrix, Switch would be female - a very clever and critical point of the 'residual self-image' idea. When actress Belinda McClory auditioned for the role, she was going for only half the role - Switch's Matrix form.

Warner Brothers made the decision to cut this and give Switch one form for both environments.

Switch's presentation is deliberately androgynous to pay homage to their original concept."

@codinghorror @xgranade All of the "zealotry", including sea lioning 👆, is from the people who want to force us to give their precious slop machines a fair chance.

Wanting to be left alone by that shit, not to have people submitting PRs and bug reports with fraudulent provenance to our projects, wanting not to have our time wasted reading slop nobody actually wrote, wanting not to have our servers hammered by gigabits per second of scraper hits, etc. isn't called "zealotry". It's called boundaries. Something tech bro culture refuses to understand.
