I am hoping Valve introduces Linux to the masses more and more with SteamOS and that more programs are ported over to SteamOS so other Linux distros can just work with them. I just made the switch partially to Fed40/Nobara because it can still play most games and I dont play any games that require kernel level anticheat (most of those games are too damn sweaty anyways). Only thing I can't do work wise is use a program called BioTrackTHC because its .exe only as of the time of writing this and I haven't found a workaround other than having a windows partition/machine handy nearby.

Usually not even a recompile needed. Linux usually isn't the hurdle. The studios deciding 5 min of work for one person is too much. also MS won't be cutting kernel-level access for 3rd-party software. they are obligated to grant other software the same access their own software has. That's why every anti-virus software gets kernel-level access, since the MS solution does, too. Though would be nice if they'd actually take all extension software and not give it kernel access.

You wouldn't even need *physical* access to a system to exploit the vulnerability; just need to hijack and exploit a Kernel-level Anti-Cheat like Vanguard in order to push the malware to all Windows 10/11 users on a AMD-power system that can't/won't be patched. Technically; Playstation 4 ("Jaguar"), Playstation 5 ("Zen 2"), Xbox One ("Jaguar"), Xbox Series S/X ("Zen 2"), Steam Deck ("Zen 2"), ASUS ROG Ally/X ("Zen 4") & Lenovo Legion Go ("Zen 4") are all vulnerable as they all run AMD-made/designed SoC's. However, since Sony, Microsoft, Valve, ASUS & Lenovo have direct-communications with AMD, they're likely to be able to get patches made by AMD that can be pushed out before the exploit gets too widely exploited (especially Xbox, ROG Ally and Legion Go as those run Windows 10/11 where Kernel-level Anti-Cheats like Vanguard are promenant).

So basically its not a real vulnerability... If you have that level access you can already do whatever you want including make things continue after OS reinstall.... It's like saying not locking a box inside your safe inside your locked house surrounded by security is a vulnerability. If someone bypassed ALL of that already you have a LOT more to worry about than a single machine and literally nothing would have stopped them doing whatever they want anyways.

The 13x / 14x issue is not a blip on their balance sheets. Their profit margins went from 25% to 12% to 3% YoY the last three years. They are on thin ice and the liability for having to replace _at minimum_ a quarter of all 13x and 14x CPUs will put their margin deep in the red. Their current cash reserves are also quite low.

i find it odd is Intel paying people to find and report on an old AMD problem on some Old AMD CPU's a problem that you have to let someone install something in your Core. you have to open the Door and let them in. Yet to Fix a problem with Intel's New CPU's you have to Open the Door and install something in the Core, and Bios updates to turn your Intel 5.2 CPU in to a 4.3 what if there is a problem with intel also and doing this opens the door for it? we know AMD has had some problems but they also worked on getting it Fix

The "reveal" events for PC hardware are cool and all, but honestly I wouldn't mind the practice shifting to something more like a digital press release. The amount of money that is spent just for them to physically show off their newest toys and STILL give us misleading slides has got to be meme worthy. So much wasted time and capital for something that could effectively be an email. And honestly, after gearing up to lay off 15K people, it might not be the best optics to do exactly what I stated above. Which is blowing a bunch of money on an event that, itself, doesn't really generate that much hype or market anticipation. It's the actual product, specs, and data shown off at the event that creates market hype. Just give out a bunch of detailed slides and press info to the media outlets and youtubers, and watch the free marketing flow.

From what i read about this sinkhole, it requires flashing a specific part of the chip code (not even the bios). So it's not something an attacker can pull off remotely at all, it need physical access to the chip. Which means that if any consumer has this problem, it was done either at the factory or shop that assembled the computer. Where else can someone gain access to the cpu without you knowing? Doesn't sound like a huge deal at all for domestic consumers. Servers of course need to watch for this kind of stuff, a lot of people handle them...

With regard to installing steamOS on other devices: it drives my curiosity a little. What I'm hearing is that this is something that valve is supporting on their own which is interesting. Though, one thing that feels mentionable is that right now, vendors may still put together their own windows builds of things if they decide not to put efforts into steamOS The thing I feel like would need to happen is some kind of support program for valve - if vendors want their devices added, there needs to be a system to tell them how to get them up & running. If there's desire from valve & there's desire from vendors, then it might be possible to have stronger support, but it's certainly something worth thinking about. Kernel wise, it's not too much of a problem I bet, vendors need to establish drivers for the kernel itself, but another piece of the puzzle is if steamOS recognizes everything as well, so some coordination with everyone is going to be important

It’s been my thought that Valve shouldn’t bother with a SteamDeck revision and should instead tailor SteamOS to other handhelds. Offer Asus maybe a $50 or $100 incentive for each Ally sold loaded with SteamOS that logs in to Steam. Valve can get out of the hardware game while SteamOS handhelds are sold at more competitive pricing that entices consumers into Steam’s ecosystem. It’s a win for Steam, OEMs, and consumers.

@elr7728 күн бұрын
Thank you! Another person who is actually being rational about the Ryzen 9700X and 9600X. I'm on 3950X I was not going to spend stupid money upgrading from AM4 to AM5 when Zen 4 came out, just to get a maybe 5% gain at 4K. With a new AM5 mobo chipset coming out in a matter of months too, it is also irrational to buy Zen 4 even if it is cheaper than Zen 5. Plus, I like a lot of people are waiting for Zen 5 x3D to see what that brings. So all the noise is just overblown seeing the 9700X and 9600X are not engineered for gaming but productivity and if using 50% of the power to get the same performance as Zen 4 equivalents at lower release MSRP, then that is a plus. Fine AMD could have given them a bit more juice, but the rage is crazy. I find it funny reviewers will say well if you're spending a $1000 on a GPU then $600 extra to get the RTX 4090 is nothing. Yet they don't apply the same logic to the new chipset features coming with X870 for Zen 5. Anyways, exciting news that you may soon be officially joining the Linux world when SteamOS is out for all systems. Been using Linux since exclusively 2016 and have not missed Windows in anyway

When I run prime95 small ffts on my 13600kf it gets super hot and consumes about 300 Watts on stock BIOS settings after the newest MSI patch. That's a hotter than it ran before on stock settings. But the most annoying thing is that it does not reach 5.1 GHz on all P-Cores anymore ( It only reaches 4.6 GHz ish). Only after I undervolted it as far as I could I got it back on 5.1 GHz. I think they just increased the average voltage so all the already broken CPUs can run stable. But at the cost of maybe damaging them even more? (That is only speculation of course). And I know that prime95 is not my average workload but it still shows that they did crazy stuff here. At least when you run your CPU on stock settings.

Android might have used a Unix cornel, but it was made for regular people to use.
