"General consensus seems to be that that paper is bunk and shouldn't have been published."
Those of us that actually tested it for shits and giggles (most jewelers that do metal work happen to have things for plating various materials) found it to be rather correct. Need to tweak plated layer thickness, otherwise you don't get shit for voltage, but it works.
You can take your 'general consensus' and tell them to fuck off unless they've actually constructed their own in-house prototypes.
Says the person that doesn't run multiple operating systems (let alone have over 10 computer systems running at any given point and time.)
BSD test running now. So far, I am able to get data where I should not. Not important data, but it's a step in the right direction. They do have an issue with their scheduler even with HT disabled when it comes to multiple physical cores (because your scheduler is still handling multiple threads across physical cores, not just logical cores.)
Windows is totally owned. Disable HT in BIOS and it is still vulnerable due to having more than one physical core.
I see you, mad BSD dev. Please try again when you can drop your ego and actually ID yourself on this site.
Wrong again, and I have tons of actual fucking civil court experience to back it up.
"Whether or not they have standing is directly dependent on whether or not they have a monopoly."
No, whether or not they have standing is based upon a preponderance of the evidence. Even if the court finds evidence for standing, this gets remanded back to the lower court for a ruling update.
And even if they are found to not have standing for the reasons they stated, they still have an opportunity to demonstrate other anti-competitive things.
BECAUSE THIS TRIAL WAS NOT ABOUT BEING A MONOPOLY (as Apple is not a monopoly by most any legal definition) I T WAS ABOUT BEING ANTI-COMPETITIVE.
You don't need to be a monopoly to be accused of being anti-competitive.
Try again when you've kicked big company ass like I have (Electronic Arts fell before me. Nice thud they made.)
Disabling hyperthreading does EXACTLY JACK SHIT. The same flaw applied to multiple logical cores very easily applies to multiple physical cores and multi-socket systems.
Every intel CPU appears to still be vulnerable as shit. Tested on my i3-7320 system and my multi-socket E5-2650 system under Windows. If OpenBSD wants to be 'secure' they need to only allow one logical core, period, and ignore all the rest. That's the only way to mitigate this problem.
The OpenBSD devs just showed a huge lack of logical thinking and knowledge of hardware configurations.
"So in essence, they are ruling on whether or not Apple's App Store is a monopoly."
No, they are not by any means. They are ruling on basic procedure first, that is determining standing. AFTERWARDS, this will get sent back to lower courts, and trial for the monopoly claim will begin (or in this case, resume,) and THEN a ruling will be issued either for or against Apple.
The legal system isn't as cut and dry as you think.
If you think I sound upset, you must be projecting your own emotions. Perhaps you should sue Trump for the mental illness he's obviously created in you while you're after him for being a treasonous fuck.
I read everything. I sense lies of omission. It's pretty much nailed by history, telemetry means hidden shit happening behind the scenes that you don't want.
But you feel free to defend someone who is literally spying on you when there's no fucking reason to. A written report during playthrough testing - like done in almost any other fucking game development studio - would work just fine.
Oh, and then knowing how small dev shops tend to operate, I doubt that code would get properly excised, and it would find itself in the commercial version of the game, still fucking active and spying on people.
I kicked EA's ass in court over very similar shit. I've done this court fight. Meanwhile, you sit around, ignorant as shit to reality. Typical 7-digit UID holder.
" I'm currently writing my own system that measures this data in pre-release versions of the game"
That does nothing to assuage me that there is no lying by omission happening. The second anyone puts any telemetry into anything, history shows something else is going on behind the scenes.
"How is QA going to tell you that most players are ignoring the Engineer class because it's not as fun to play as the Soldier class?"
Ever work in QA? Here, let me show you how it works; It's called a written report. You play the game, then you write down your fucking issues and submit them.
So, basically what you're saying is to kick Crohn's in the ass by inventing a 40 or 50 foot long anti-biotic power washer for the human gastro-intestinal tract.
"See, this is why I'm pissed at game companies that are poisoning the well for developers like me. I can't even discuss the matter without getting modded as a troll."
You get modded a a troll because your command of the English language sucks, and perhaps you should work on your command of that before you trry other languages.
That you aren't even into Alpha or Beta yet tells me you're probably not qualified. I had my 2D Second Life clone out of Alpha within two weeks, and out of Beta within a month. What the fuck are you doing, still writing the invasive telemetry shit when you could've already figured out the starting code for the actual goddamned game?
"Yes, that's why I said it would only be used in pre-release version of the game - meaning copies of the game that are distributed only for testing purposes."
That wasn't made perfectly clear from your first fucking post. If your way with words sucks this badly, I can only imagine how badly you mangle other languages, especially ones that need PRECISION.
"As a game developer myself, gameplay-related analytics are incredibly valuable. That is, metrics that tell game designers about how the player progressed through the game in various ways."
In other words, you're too poor to hire a proper QA testing team from the get-go, and thus you need to rely upon the suckered general public to figure out shit that you should've figured out before you put the fucking game out for public consumption.
"I cannot understand where you got this interpretation."
It's called the Americanized version of the English language. If you don't understand it, don't use it.
You stated, without ANY EXCEPTION OR FOLLOW-UP QUALIFIER, "There will always be a limited amount of bandwidth available. For example, you can't have each of the cars on a busy highway get individualized, personal audio streams simultaneously."
That leaves open a whole fucking goddamned slew of counter-points. See, I have essentially unlimited bandwidth, because the only thing on this planet capable of giving me a personalized, individualized music experience, is my MP3 play/phone. When I plug in that wire to the aux-in jack on my receiver, no bandwidth problem.
YOU think there's a bandwidth problem. YOU are not smart enough to work around it by any various means available to do so.
The problem here lies with you, not me. Try again when you can think more than two steps ahead.
"I am very lucky to have my attorneys from the Electronic Frontier Foundation"
Yes you are, considering they're just publicity whores like the ACLU.
You only got them on your side because of your name. Many others that could've used them are rotting away in prison because they're not 'high profile enough.'
Maybe you should draw some attention to that fact while you've got the publicity.
"Can anyone explain why I or anyone else should care about personal flying machines?"
Saves some wear and tear on the land when I go prospecting. Will allow me to get to higher elevations with greater ease. You can avoid most of the land-based traffic!

Too stupid to go looking through the dark web for verification of facts? Or are you too incompetent to even access such information on the public web?
Idiots like you that demand spoonfed information are what's fucking this country up. Zero critical thinking capability.

There, you search-challenged and brain-challenged fuckwit.
Oh, I'm sorry, were my words just enough to break your mind so badly that you couldn't do one fucking google search and get this as a top result?

My bad, next time, I'll use baby words so the search is easier for you.
Oh, and in that link lists the other 3/4 million bribe from AT&T as well.
Lazy fuck.
He's an Apple user. You can't really expect much critical thinking or willpower from the sheeple of computing.
No fucking wonder their ego is so goddamned big.
The info is on the dark web (and even some public outlets) for all to see.

From what I'm reading, they are merely deciding on whether the class actually has standing to sue.

What world requires spy software to do that?
XP doesn't. :) And it still runs every game I care to play (or for that matter, develop.)
