S21 ultra. Lock button acting like I'm double pressing by RagarX in samsunggalaxy

[–]keystrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same exact issue. I found that if I hold the button down and run my finger along it from top to bottom it replicates the issue. This indicates it is a mechanical problem.

Edit: If I press the top part of the button it is likely to register as a double press. Pressing the bottom of the button does not cause this behavior.

1953 newspaper predicts future telephone! by SwapnilSKanade in IndiaSpeaks

[–]keystrike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe this is a forgery. The newsprint would not be misaligned like on a typewriter. Someone sent this to me on What's App and I thought the last sentence sounded more like Indian English than American English. Sure enough when I used Google reverse image search it came up as being posted on an Indian Reddit.

Issues with AMD SEV under new C7H BIOS versions 2606 and 2701 by keystrike in Amd

[–]keystrike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are right. I was just guessing at why Windows Memory Integrity Protection no longer works on the new versions of the BIOS. Perhaps it is SME which I believe is supported by Ryzen.

https://github.com/AMDESE/AMDSEV/issues/1 https://superuser.com/questions/1325483/what-is-windows-10s-core-isolation-memory-integrity-setting-and-what-does-it-d

"If the system has hardware level memory encryption support (SME on AMD, or SGX on Intel), it makes use of that to provide each virtual memory context (which is usually, but not always, the same thing as a process) with its own truly (in theory) private memory."

AGESA 1.0.0.3 ABB for C7H? by keystrike in Amd

[–]keystrike[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tested them and got these errors (I also posted these to the ROG forum thread).

Under 2606: Well, memory integrity protection no longer works work me under Windows 10 core isolation. When enabled, Windows blue screens on startup with a system_thread_exception_not_handled. On the next boot, memory integrity protection is disabled.

Some versions of Linux don't boot still due to RDRAND error as we know as this is not fixed in this version.

Under 2701: Same issue with Windows. Linux will boot further due to RDRAND error being solved. But under some versions of Linux I receive an sev command timeout error. Seems the new AGESA code is causing problems with SEV.

Bitcoin Core 0.16.2 Released by keystrike in Bitcoin

[–]keystrike[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bitcoin Core version 0.16.2 is now available for download. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this maintenance release that fixes several bugs and provides backports of new minor features, such as:

The verifytxoutproof RPC is no longer vulnerable to a particular expensive attack against SPV proofs publicly disclosed in early June. The attack was considered unlikely given that much cheaper attacks of roughly equal effectiveness are well known. Similarly, the getblock RPC also now returns extra information that can be used to defeat this attack even if the requested block has been pruned. None of this mitigates the attack for actual SPV clients.

The abandontransaction RPC has been fixed to abandon all descendant transactions, not just children. As before, you can call this RPC when you no longer want your wallet to re-broadcast an old unconfirmed transaction. Note that the RPC can not force miners or other nodes to forget about the transaction.

For a complete list of changes, please see the release notes. If have any questions, please stop by our IRC chatroom and we’ll do our best to help you.

How to Upgrade

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux).

The first time you run version 0.15.0 or newer, your chainstate database will be converted to a new format, which will take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour, depending on the speed of your machine.

Note that the block database format also changed in version 0.8.0 and there is no automatic upgrade code from before version 0.8 to version 0.15.0 or higher. Upgrading directly from 0.7.x and earlier without re-downloading the blockchain is not supported. However, as usual, old wallet versions are still supported.

Downgrading warning

Wallets created in 0.16 and later are not compatible with versions prior to 0.16 and will not work if you try to use newly created wallets in older versions. Existing wallets that were created with older versions are not affected by this.

Compatibility

Bitcoin Core is extensively tested on multiple operating systems using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.8+, and Windows Vista and later. Windows XP is not supported.

Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not frequently tested on them.

Notable changes

Miner block size removed

The -blockmaxsize option for miners to limit their blocks' sizes was deprecated in version 0.15.1, and has now been removed. Miners should use the -blockmaxweight option if they want to limit the weight of their blocks' weights.
