Your OS can load the microcode. Most Linux distros will load the latest microcode during boot. Some will even update the microcode when it gets the new microcode from the distro repositories. This facility exists specifically because motherboard vendors are terrible about providing updates.

Yeah, with a couple of podcasts I listen to, when the Honey stuff came out they did a whole thing about it and dropped Honey mid cycle, probably at a pretty big cost to themselves.

It still mildly irritates me because I had suspected they were doing this for a long time, but I can't really fault the podcasts I listen to for how they handled it.

I don't trust any single source! That's why I make sure to get my news from multiple different Lemmy instances.

Not really the same thing though, since Trump's thingy wasn't one of the things that popularised that type of site.

It would be hilarious to see Digg restart as a Lemmy instance.

Not to mention that I can't find any indication that Mint has a fixed version of ffmpeg at all.

It helps significantly that the EU already has a lot of the necessary expertise at every level.

Kernel updates can require it, but even then you can often get away with replacing the specific module.

I'd much rather see RISC-V take over.

There's no reason why some sort of augmentation system couldn't improve the navigation situation with the big dig. Stick some low power beacons that provide GPS-like signal in the tunnel based on their predetermined location and we'll have GPS accounting for special relativity, general relativity and continental drift.

Correct. But that means 512 GB is not half a tebibyte.

512 GiB is half a tebibyte. 512 GB is just under 477 GiB.
