we allow phone call auth for people without smartphones or who dont want to install microsoft authenticator. no sms tho.

You only allow Microsoft Authenticator? :stonk: Not the usual 'code refreshes every 30 seconds' types?

(I admit to being opinionated. I just am not a fan of Microsoft Auth because it needs a connection, as opposed to connectionless ones like Google Authenticator and anything that uses that same method).

we've never had any issues with the ms authenticator, do you mean there might be an issue if you have no wireless internet and no phone signal but need to log in? we also have phone call auth as a fallback but obviously if you have no phone signal that's of no use either.

needing to log into AD but not having a connection on your phone is honestly something that's never occurred to me.

Exactamundo. Not having to do additional comms for 2FA feels nice/ fairly reassuring, to be quite honest about it.

i'm still v amused at anyone who thinks these are intel-only and not a result of where the majority of research is focused

Maybe so, but Intel needing to have a micro-op cache in the first place is directly responsible for there being an attack on the micro-op cache. :v:

ARM has a uop cache as well, literally the first sentence of the paper.

Arm has 3 or 4 instruction modes at this point, classic arm, thumb, aarch64 and I think there's a 32-on-64 variant but I don't do enough arm64 to know how different it is. They all get turned into uops AFAIK.

It does? :stonk:

BobHoward posted:


well what exactly do you mean by "implemented entirely in hardware", anyways


OK, so, the (what I am now starting to realize was extremely simplified) version I got of how CPUs are built in university was that, each bit of the opcode loaded into the IR register was connected to a suite of logic gates/flip-flops/etc that, on the clock pulse, would directly affect the ALU, registers, and so on.

So, yes. I did assume it was the-IR-is-directly-connected-to-the-rest architecture in processors.

BobHoward posted:

the core problem with treating an isa as IP is that it's a relatively abstract hardware/software interface specification. loosely speaking, copyright can't protect ideas or interfaces. the former was well established in the 1980s, the latter not so much, but today AIUI there is legal precedent for it from the software world, so it'd be extremely dicey to assert copyright on an ISA

and if you can't copyright an ISA, what area of IP law would apply?

Question for lawyer-adjacent types: Would the recent "APIs are not copyrightable as a matter of law" decision apply to ISAs as well?

duz posted:

they did not rule one way or the other as to if apis were copyrightable
they said it didn't matter because google's use was fair use if it was and that way they only had to rule on one thing

So does that mean that reimplementing an ISA would be fair use?

Factorio is a pure 2D application that doesn't really use the GPU at all.

TBH if you want a real, true benchmark of a computer's power, run the beefiest emulator you can dig up. I recommend Dolphin, citra, or yuzu.
