Microsoft blockiert Linux:
Keiner redet darüber!

entscheidet, ob auf deinem / überhaupt starten darf:

Jahrelang wenig beachtet hat sich der Konzern mit
über den -Standard die Kontrolle über dein System erschlichen.

Mit weitreichenden Folgen, die bereits spürbar sind: Linux- müssen bei Microsoft um bitten, damit sie starten dürfen - bei jeder Aktualisierung.

beispielsweise durfte zig Monate nur eingeschränkt starten, weil Microsoft seine umfangreichen Anforderungen nicht erfüllt sah.

Leidtragende sind die Nutzer, welche freie als schlechter wahrnehmen, weil der Konzern sie schädigt. Während das proprietäre Windows problemlos startet - zumindest, wenn es nicht durch selbst mit mangelhaften Updates zerstört wurde...

    Building an FPGA 3dfx Voodoo with Modern RTL Tools

    " This frame of Screamer 2 was rendered not by an original 3dfx card and not by an emulator, but by an FPGA reimplementation of the Voodoo 1 that I wrote in SpinalHDL. Available on GitHub.

    What surprised me was not just that it worked. It was that a design like this can now be described, simulated, and debugged by one person, provided the tools let you express the architecture directly and inspect execution at the right level of abstraction.

    The Voodoo 1 is old, but it is not simple. It has no transform-and-lighting hardware and no programmable shaders, so all of its graphics behavior is fixed in silicon: gradients for Gouraud shading, texture sampling, mipmapping, bilinear and trilinear filtering, alpha clipping, clipping, depth testing, fog, and more. A modern GPU concentrates much of its complexity in flexible programmable units. The Voodoo concentrates it in a large number of hardwired rendering behaviors.

    One of the bugs that drove this home looked at first like a framebuffer hazard. Small clusters of partially translucent text and overlay pixels would go mysteriously transparent, even though most of the frame looked fine. The real issue turned out not to be one broken subsystem, but several small hardware-accuracy mismatches stacking up in exactly the wrong way. That bug ended up being a good summary of the whole project: the hard part was not “making triangles appear.” It was matching the Voodoo’s exact behavior closely enough that the wrong pixels stopped appearing.

    This post is about the two abstractions that made that tractable. The first is how I represented the Voodoo’s register semantics in SpinalHDL. The second is how I debugged a deep graphics pipeline using netlist-aware waveform queries in conetrace. "

      In the 1980's one selling point of a "Personal Computer", was that you could easier deal with - that a computer would better assist you in organizing taxes and tax codes and poorly thought-out loopholes for billionaire creation.

      The computers only added to the red tape. Higher speed red tape generation.

        2.
        regedit eingeben

        3.

        In LabConfig drei neue DWORD-Werte (32-Bit) erstellen:

        BypassTPMCheck = 1
        BypassSecureBootCheck = 1
        BypassRAMCheck = 1 (optional, falls wenig RAM)

        6.
        Registry schließen, neu starten
        Danach läuft die durch.

            If you're on Linux and want a really cool way to resemble CLIs on older machines, this little program lets you do just that.

            It's a separate terminal emulator launched via your existing terminal emulator and lets you change color schemes to mimic retro computers (C64, PET, IBM PCs, Apple ][, etc).

            Pretty fun program! It's in a lot of distro repos but if not, you can get it here:

              Well «Neverwinter Nights» OC finished so far. aww... It was a wonderful journey and gave me 2/3 months of gameplay. The best chapters was 2 and 3 in my opinion, well 3 > 2 better.

              I will start with a new character for sure. Probably a Semi-Orc Barbarian with a great axe :).

              For now I will take a rest from it and resume the 2 DLC's until Autumn Season I guess.
