asciilifeform: arm is ~blessed~ by hitler, much as x86 was.
asciilifeform: idiots support other idiots automatically, ideologically.
asciilifeform: and i do not believe this to be in any reasonable sense a work of chance.
asciilifeform: srsly the idiot archs always seem to win.
asciilifeform: (it is heavily unoptimized for human consumption and arm asm is a bitch to audit)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-10#1449684 << finally read this. i suppose this is not a bad time to remind folks of the 'arm' cpu being a lothesome piece of shit that i have 0 desire to use for anything if it can be avoided☝︎
asciilifeform: ('last' oughta be 'magic' and point ALWAYS to the last line at any given moment)
asciilifeform: ;;later tell phf can haz bookmarkable url that points to tip of the logz plox ?☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you're playing physical camo games, why not hide the thing in old vase. in garden. up arse. etc
asciilifeform: but i never had the slightest desire to own one , esp. to use for intended purpose
asciilifeform: admittedly i find some of he '80s-'90s game machines interesting from a systems perspective, they had minimalistic iron and ran 'os-less' long into the era when x86 languished under microshit
asciilifeform: srsly the original drm chumpers, buying, believe, ~whole computer~ built solely to make copying the gamez harder!
asciilifeform: jurov: ty for summary, now i can snore again, i never did and never will give a flying fuck re game consoles
asciilifeform: why did american army in vietnam, which had thermobaric bomb in abundance (invented it, in practice) continue to use legions of grunts with ordinary rifles?
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu dig his garden with shovel, or with trotyl?
asciilifeform: generally it is not why safes exist upon satan's green earth.
asciilifeform: while it is ~conceivable~ that any particular heavy safe is filled to the brim with used condoms,
asciilifeform: (a reason that was in place as early as '97)
asciilifeform: the intel turds are ciphered and signed for a reason.
asciilifeform: re the microcode thing, i can picture mircea_popescu going on a bank heist, and, coming up against a massive safe, 'let's not bother with the dynamite, fellas, this thing surely is full of used condoms'
asciilifeform: so the correct thing to do is to picture enemy who has thought of ~at least~ everything you can think of.
asciilifeform: and i see this as proper, because scheming against a ~stupid~ enemy is largely a waste of time, because how to know ~exactly how stupid~ he is ?
asciilifeform: iirc i once did explain that my mental model of the enemy is myself with a negative sign.
asciilifeform: not only on the obvious basis of 'can add magic instruction' but 'will reveal magic instructions that have been added in 20 yrs of nsa-supplied patches'
asciilifeform: but i definitely see how it handily encompasses the varied crimes of the egalitarian cult.
asciilifeform: incidentally, and perhaps mircea_popescu does not know this, but even here in the heart of mordor this phrase is a comical byword for idiocy, like nixon's plumbers
asciilifeform: i.e. they get harvested by folks lookin' to do some infectin', and revoked immediately when the news break
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: crapple app dev keys and microshit driver keys play roughly the same role in ecosystem as that cali hearing aid shop's ssl cert.
asciilifeform: phf: meta-nsa relaxes and smokes in the corner, it doesn't need keys, sends magic udp
asciilifeform: 'As KeRanger encrypts each file (i.e. Test.docx) starts by creating an encrypted version that uses the .encrypted extension (i.e. Test.docx.encrypted.) To encrypt each file, KeRanger starts by generating a random number (RN) and encrypts the RN with the RSA key retrieved from the C2 server using the RSA algorithm. It then ....' << L0l!1111
