The Communication Cube

[JDTAY]

I get the feeling people were trying to tell me things in my sleep again. They should communicate with me directly. I don’t retain all or even half of what goes on in my sleep.

Yeah, good news that. I'm just not sure the UK is still signed up to the ECtHR, after brexit and all of that.

Edit: Got to acronym for the European Court of Human Rights wrong.

The Brexit deal locks the UK into continued Strasbourg Human Rights court membership

The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement contains a number of provisions ‘locking-in’ the UK’s continued commitment to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). As with many other areas, far…

Yes, as the latter link clarifies, I was actually intending to refer to the ECtHR, not the ECHR. And also goes on to say the the current covernment wants to have more flexibility on what it considers a human right and what it doesn't, so it wouldn't surprise me if they simply ignore this latest ruling, and continue to spy on us.

Microsoft Goes All-In on Windows 10 on ARM at Build 2021 | Digital Trends

Microsoft is detailing new ways for developers to port their apps to ARM-based PCs like the Surface Pro X or the Samsung Galaxy Book S.

Does this mean we should expect to see Windows running on PCs, Macs, RPis *and* Android phones?

Won't we all be migrating to Risc-V as soon as viable?

Thanks, I didn't know about SiFive's Unmatched, yet. Looks like PC material. Are there PCIe GPUs that are happy with just 8 lanes?

Appropriate video is appropriate.

No problem and no idea, I’m afraid I’m not clued up about that level of detail at all

First Nvidia goes all in on ARM, then Apple, now Microsoft?

Nah, I’m still not buying Microsoft being behind ARM. It is true that demand for Windows is shrinking as people stop using traditional computers. I can’t really see Microsoft breaking into the cheap cloud computer market though. It already has an OS, that people like better than Windows. They’ll have an uphill battle convincing people to use a version of Windows that doesn’t include all the pre-existing Windows software.

DARPA pitted 500+ hackers against this computer chip. The chip won.

Sounds like planning-ahead hackers let DARPA believe they have a very secure chip at hand.
