Snatch up AMD's Bulldozer/Piledriver FX series CPUs, used or on sales, those are the last and to date fastest remaining x86 CPU without Intel ME or AMD PSP backdoors.
They don't need FPGAs for this by now, there are now ready-made ASICs including all of that, with even their own established acronym among the retro-gamers: NOAC (Nintendo On A Chip).
Quality of the actual output produced by those may vary though, especially in the audio department.
What makes you think the firmware in your PCIe WiFi card also can't access all main memory
Something which is called an IOMMU.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Memory is protected from malicious devices that are attempting DMA attacks and faulty devices that are attempting errant memory transfers because a device cannot read or write to memory that has not been explicitly allocated (mapped) for it. The memory protection is based on the fact that OS running on the CPU (see figure) exclusively controls both the MMU and the IOMMU. The devices are physically unable to circumvent or corrupt configured memory management tables.
You aren't allowed to hide registration info for any standard domain
.ru is not a standard enough domain I guess? It is enforced by law that the real name or any other details of a person registering the domain must not be public. I believe there are some other TLDs are like that too.
It wasn't clear from your post that you are using the 4K display at 30Hz, you only mentioned trying out the 39" one.
I was referring not to screen real-estate related problems, but specifically to the 30 Hz refresh rate, it's way too low even for desktop usage to be comfortable (and forget enjoying games).
USDBTC is not their main market, their speciality is exchange between various crypto-currencies, e.g. the trade volume of Dogecoin to BTC should have been orders of magnitude larger.
And how many ssh users actually check the key fingerprints and verify they match those stored on the remote host? Is that even possible in most circumstances?
Hello, have you ever used ssh? As in, at all? It raises a holy hell if the keys have been tampered with.

Unlike eBay the Aliexpress system shows buyer feedback for each item publicly, so you can see that on both tablets that I have linked they have hundreds of positive "excellent", "5 star" feedback from people.
The linked tablets have the exact same specs as the indian one mentioned in this story. So if you're going to diss the specs, you can start right with that one. And no, you don't run an old GNU/Linux distribution on these tablets, you run a tailored version of Android. Which runs pretty well with 256 MB of RAM.
Economies of scale. The price is relatively high due to the low volume of production. These are hobby boards. The only reason you can build a $200 PC right now is because the hardware gets production runs in the millions or more.
Sure, and also maybe the chicken-and-egg problem? There won't be any scale until there's significant demand, and there won't be any demand while those boards cost so much, that even most ARM enthusiasts would find it difficult to justify the purchase. It's okay that the performance of those boards would not be stellar, but with them being so overpriced, the result is that the price/performance absolutely BLOWS -- and that's a big problem.
Slashdot Mirror
> a French hosting company called OVH has been offering ARM-based servers under the brand Scaleway. I've been happy with it
Scaleway is a brand of the French hosting company Online.net, not of OVH, who are their main competitor.

Didn't you mean to post this on https://yro.slashdot.org/story... ?
Well there's also WoSign... OH WAIT.
Nope, both of the sensible free options are killed now, everyone wanting free certs is being funneled into the Let's Encrypt bullshit.

Actually here's a better model and $2 cheaper http://www.aliexpress.com/product-gs/439643437-Free-shipping-NEW-7-Inch-Android-2-3-256M-4GB-WiFi-Tablet-Pc-wholesalers.html
Everyone touts it as the second coming, some great breakthrough etc. Well here's one for $55. $10 more? Yes. But with free worldwide shipping included.

+ thousands of other models.
People thinking a tablet is called an iPad and costs $500 or whatever and you can get nothing cheaper, should get a reality (or an Aliexpress) check.

Xfce4 works quite well inside VNC too.
