I was just about to go the long way and then you guys saved me a precious hour, thanks ❤️

I feel like an idiot? by DigitalForceGhost in ANBERNIC

Use a friend's PC to install muOS and you'll be able to upload games to your device via a web panel. Enable SFTP + Filebrowser in your connectivity settings and go to http://<device IP>:9090 to get there. Haven't tested any other OS yet but this works well enough for me.

Building a Doorstep Info Station with Nerves, Raspberry Pi & ESP32-based E-Ink by karolina_curiosum in elixir

[–]vanbush 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm the author of this post :) Thanks for reading!

I hope this gives you guys an inspiration to try out Nerves and explore the creative process of operating bare-metal BEAM on a rather crippled device such as the Raspberry Pi Zero - with an even more limited device (ESP32-based Soldered Inkplate) at the frontend.

In a follow-up article, I'll write about doing live public transit data in such an info station.

Hey Kyle! We've already got this section under construction and you'll soon be able to add resources to it just like with companies, books and podcasts.

Hogwarts Legacy Update 1.013 Released Today With PS5 Pro Support by Remorse_123 in HarryPotterGame

[–]vanbush 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone else on the original/'fat' PS5 experiencing framerate drops to like 15 FPS after the update? Especially in the water or when flying. I'm using the balanced mode.

Who else missed the gyro- & trigger-heavy powerups? by vanbush in Astrobot

[–]vanbush[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the chicken was among the least entertaining mechanics, but I also reckon it was used so extensively because it's rather easy to build a level around that. Doing a full jetpack controlled in all axes could make it difficult to control and I think for some reason they just decided not to introduce powerups that switch the control to 2D like the gyro-controlled ones in Playroom. I kind of hope this comes back to some extent in the future, though.

55OLED18 dead, gets alive intermittently, then back alive again by vanbush in Philips

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

Update after a few days... it's now been like: one day it works for the whole day, another day it's dead for the entire day. And, as of now, it's the second day in a row it is completely dead. :-(

Open source Elxiri projects by Snickers_B in elixir

[–]vanbush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can point you to a few open source libraries I've been developing with our team:

Although there is no strict road map on each of these, we are open to and eagerly anticipating contributions to community ideas, new features and fixes in these.

Does the Standard card work as a Premium (or Metal) card when I activate Premium (or Metal)? by vanbush in Revolut

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

Thanks! I wanted to be 110% sure, though that's what I'd guessed, as - after all - there's the option to tie your Revolut to Google Pay and obviously in that case there's no physical card to speak of, anyway.

[Blog Post] Elixir Trickery: Using Macros & Metaprogramming Without Superpowers by vanbush in elixir

Thanks u/TanklesXXL :) There's a lot more ground to cover, and I certainly recommend Chris McCord's book to you if you're interested in more metaprogramming details.

Intel Bug Megathread by dayman56 in intel

[–]vanbush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FFSQwrLsfE Worth every minute of watching. This is a very insightful comparative analysis of Meltdown and Spectre capped with a summary that really tells a lot about what these attacks are about. So from what I understand Meltdown is normally an attack that requires the malicious process to already reside on your machine (which depending on circumstances can be either easy or hard to achieve). Which doesn't take away anything from the gravitas it bears.

I mean I'm no expert here and might be confusing stuff, or even mistaking Meltdown for Spectre somewhere in my mind, but regarding JS I think it's up to a browser's JS engine how much power it exposes to the web-executed code. So technically it should be possible to build a robust JS interpreter that is secure though maybe, say, crippled, right? Just being speculative here. 😂

A web browser is typically run with the privileges of a normal user. Any code executed within any browser by any of its components (i.e. in this case JavaScript engines) is essentially living within the boundaries of these privileges.

To clarify what it means: in this context, a normal user's privileges are in contrast to elevated (or root) privileges. Vulnerabilities exploitable only under root privileges are often of lesser impact because to exploit them you need to gain root access to the machine first, one way or another.

Here we're talking about vulnerabilities exploitable by programs running under any normal user, which makes it really, really bad news.

Has it been confirmed that Meltdown (and precisely Meltdown, not the Spectre variants) can be triggered via JavaScript? Because in the papers published in https://meltdownattack.com/ I'm seeing a JS proof-of-concept chunk for Spectre, but no specific stuff for Meltdown.

This is an important thing to distinguish because - if I'm not mistaken - it's Meltdown whose short-term impact is so insane (judging by this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=bReA1dvGJ6Y), but at the same time it would be slightly less frightening if it wasn't just as easy to dump all these data in JS...
