Nothing that takes significant amounts of time to accomplish is easy. Many people go to school specifically to learn about FPGA development (Computer Engineering students specifically).
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 2 days ago:
An FPGA is essentially a reprogrammable computer chip, or integrated circuit (IC), that can behave as another computer chip. It is widely used in the development of new ICs.
The MiSTer FPGA project uses an off-the-shelf Altera DE10-nano development board, which has a combo FPGA + ARM SoC on it. The OS, USB controller input, and some other stuff runs on the ARM core, and the FPGA is reprogrammed upon launching a core to behave as closely as possible to the original hardware that it’s emulating.
FPGAs can either be pre-programmed or programmed on-the-fly. In consumer hardware, FPGAs and CPLDs (essentially weak FPGAs) are used when you need an IC produced in small scale, or when you need to be able to change the functionality of the IC with updates.
People know so much because they take the time to learn, and it does take a lot of time and patience.

These anti-cheats don’t even work. Anyone can go out and buy a hardware DMA card with an FPGA on it, which is basically a modern day Action Replay. It has full access to RAM and cheaters like to use then to get around anti-cheat.

Linux isn’t necessarilly immune. A game could easilly ask the user to install a DKMS module.
- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 6 days ago:
Fuck Clippy. Clippy represents Microsoft’s monopolistic practices in the office suite space by using proprietary formats and making sure ODF was less supported.
We should have a different character that annoyingly explains things instead, like Navi or Omochao.

Yeah. We only had one once-in-a-lifetime market crashes under W instead of… I lost count.

Haha nice. I’m not sure what I’d use it for, but when I was a tad younger, I used my brother’s eMac a lot with Garageband, so pure nostalgia.

Nice. I’ve been meaning to pick up a CRT iMac or even an eMac.

Most people have been trained from a young age to value convenience over basically everything else. People also don’t like to step out of their comfort zone, and not having social media is seen by some as a social taboo and as isolationary by some.

- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 weeks ago:
There is already a PoW crypto that is actually private called Monero. It uses ring signatures to sign transactions and rotating public keys to keep public keys private. It also happens to be relatively stable since it’s basically the only crypto that people use as a currency (generally to buy illegal contraband online).
Since it’s PoW, though, it still consumes buckets. Something I thought looked cool was Chia coin, which somehow uses hard drive space as a consensus algorithm which saves a ton of electricity, but I haven’t read the whitepaper on that, so I don’t fully understand it.
