I don't use Edge but I'm glad it exists A WebKit monopoly isn't significantly better than a Trident monopoly. If you have multiple credible browsers then the specification for how things work is a set of written standards. If there is one credible browser then the specification is 10 million lines of C++.

CommunistPancake posted:always wanted to see more emulators to do this. the same concept existed for the og xbox since it was an x86 windows pc for the most part. would be better if somebody did this for the ps4 since that's already built around an x86-64 cpu. lil bit of virtualization and a shader recompiler and you're done bim bom so simple it's the only way we're going to get a pc version of bloodborne, at any rate.

carry on then posted:it's a good talk but god drat does he come across like he's smarter than anyone who builds things because he can tear them down seriously. the south bridge soc thing makes sense in a lot of ways, especially for connected standby. the iommu thing almost worked but for one silly error on sony's part and he goes into detail later about how there's a lot of hardware-level protection in place to defend against dma attacks from gpu subversion. seems like a lot of thought was put into dma-hardening in general. anybody who understands even half of what he's talking about in the first place is going to know full well that instruction set architectures are distinct from system peripherals so idk why he's being such a smug by pointing this out in great length while sounding extremely pleased with himself the weird i2c scripting, the pcie hall-of-mirrors, these all seem like lovely silicon errata that some poor bastard had to work 70 hours/wk to frantically work around because when you have to ramp production from 0 to god knows how many tens of millions of units per (insert short time frame here) you really don't get many revs in which to gild the silicon lily before you go to volume. "there's a security chip but it doesn't do anything, you can just ignore it lmao" this guy knows exactly what a tpm is and what it's used for, he's just being a cock acpi tables aren't strictly spec-compliant on a device that runs only one first-party os ever lmao is this mf serious yes i'm sure sony cared deeply about spending literal months polishing up their register and firmware interfaces to pass conformance suites to reliably run all those alternative operating systems on the ps4 such as

could be chip errata. to take a completely wild guess maybe the dma controller inside the sata core is hosed and corrupts memory if both channels are active simultaneously but then why not put the slow BD-ROM on UBS MS instead of the relatively fast hard disk? maybe it's a copy protection thing? like if the BD-ROM was just a usb device then you could easily stick some microcontroller-based bridge to serve an ISO to the console and then install to disk so that it runs fast. that might be a bit harder to do if you have to emulate sata. but who knows.

i could develop a native android app and deal with the trench effect-fueled blue flamed dumpster fire that is the android sdk and its emulators, or i could do some cordova trash and instantly test it within chrome doing a user interface using css and javascript is actually a preferable experience to trying to do one natively. that's how badly they hosed up.

yeah, god it's simple, if you get an NTFS-formatted external drive and plug it into your Windows computer you just need to go into the properties and reset the permissions no, not that setting, that won't work. the other one no you have to go into advanced settings no the other advanced settings yeah you have to reset it to your SID. you do remember what your SID is right? idiot
