I'm looking to replace my family's laptop used mostly for web browsing, word processing, and making sure my cross platform apps work. I have a Framework Laptop 16 AMD Ryzen in pre-order which is supposed to ship next month.
Would a Surface Pro 9 or a Thinkpad X13s be a good choice for this use case?
Microsoft App Assure helps Opera build Arm-optimized browser.
“App Assure engineers worked directly with Opera’s engineering team, offering technical assistance and guidance. It quickly became apparent that both teams had a similar take on strong signals reflecting growing industry awareness of the performance and efficiency benefits offered by Arm devices.”
Another reason to run things such as #RabbitMQ as a cluster: If the #Docker image is missing the #arm64 arch one pod will stay pending while the continues working
As I knew I was on holiday for soft freeze I got all my #qemu maintainer PRs in early for 9.0. It is now released to the wild. The big #arm64 update is FEAT_NV2 emulation as well as a number of enhancements to various board models (and some deprecations of the older unloved code). For #tcg#plugins we now support reading register values as well as a new thread-safe inline ops API. The #gdbstub also saw a number of tweaks. More to come for 9.1 and the tree is now open ;-) https://www.qemu.org/2024/04/23/qemu-9-0-0/
Is it just me or is #FFMPEG v7 way faster (on #ARM64 at least) when doing multiple things at once? (ie: #nlmeans noise reduction, #crop, then #x265)
I mean these used to take hours and hours on several of my Agatha Christie files (which need noise reduction, crop and encoding). These fly through now at about 30% time reduction per file. Not to mention about 15% smaller size (thanks x265 3.6.x update!)
Finally consolidated my notes on things I've done to get the #PineTab2 working (mostly) the way I want it to. Some gathered from the forums, some that I noticed and/or figured out myself.
Professionally right now I work as an SME in a #PenTesting group for a regulatory company, but it's really not my bag of tea in the long run. That I can feel. I much prefer to be in an investigatory and tool-making field for something related to #DFIR . I was especially happy doing #ReverseEngineering of #malware .
I'm into reverse engineering, assembly languages like #IA32 and recently #ARM / #ARM64, programming (old classics like C/C++ / #Python but learning the newer stuff like #RustLang ), big into #forensics, #RasPi and #Arduino projects and such.
Still trying to figure out what I am career wise, though, like job title and such! It's all great fun to me, just haven't found the direct niche to sink into.
Hobby wise, I'm also really into #GuildWars2! Long time gamer at heart.
Been banging my head on the keyboard for a few days trying to set up a virtualized #kvm supporting a #debian#armhf system on an #arm64 host machine... I have several machines set up with this working.
Finally had a breakthrough...
Debian does not support #secureboot on armhf. Disabled secure boot and yay, it boots the debian-installer mini.iso just fine!
Now if I could just figure out why #macvtap does not work... it would be all set to crank through lots of builds!
