It’s not related to Windows or Linux, but as the article notes, Apple devices that use UEFI are not vulnerable (and current ones don’t use it anymore and therefore aren’t vulnerable either), so I guess that’s where the “Windows or Linux” comes from.

setsubyou , 7 months ago to games in Dragon's Dogma 2 release date [March 22nd, 2024] seemingly leaks ahead of dedicated showcase

The first Dragon’s Dogma had a ton of small DLC too, so this isn’t exactly new. They even sold rift crystals. I guess a lot of players don’t realize how much DLC it was because the later editions and the ports came with most of it included.

setsubyou , 8 months ago to technology in Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like.

Pretty much everybody in this thread who is laughing at Amazon’s drones is thinking of drones as they are right now. But Amazon is not using drones because it’s a good idea now. They’re using drones now so they already have the experience and the setup when inevitable technical progress happens.

The drones might never work out or they might eventually work out, but this is exactly how Amazon got so big in the first place. They started selling books online when a lot of people still weren’t sure whether that could work and they started selling cloud computing almost ten years before anyone else thought to do that.

setsubyou , 8 months ago to technology in Tested: Windows 11 Pro's On-By-Default Encryption Slows SSDs Up to 45%

Comparing to macOS is actually impossible because fde can’t be turned off on Macs at all. Macs (and iPhones etc.) handle encryption of internal storage transparently in hardware at pretty much no overhead and without the CPU even having access to the key. You can only choose whether a login is required for the Secure Enclave hardware to be able to access the key.

On other platforms it’s pretty much a hardware question too. PC vendors and hard disk vendors could do the same thing Apple is doing regardless of whether the OS is Windows or Linux or whatever. How fast the OS based encryption is only matters on hardware that doesn’t have this functionality.

The T2 chip is only in Intel Macs. ARM Macs have the Secure Enclave too but it’s part of the main SoC, not a dedicated chip.

setsubyou , 8 months ago to technology in Tested: Windows 11 Pro's On-By-Default Encryption Slows SSDs Up to 45%

If it’s a Mac then it’s not the CPU that’s doing the encryption for the internal drive. Macs have separate hardware for that, the CPU can’t even get the key.

setsubyou , 8 months ago to technology in Tested: Windows 11 Pro's On-By-Default Encryption Slows SSDs Up to 45%

Macs have encryption in hardware in the dma channel for their built-in drives (Intel Macs with T2 and all ARM Macs), so the overhead is negligible on the internal ssd. Macs actually don’t even have unencrypted internal drives anymore. The filevault toggle only affects whether the volume encryption key stored in the secure enclave is itself encrypted or not.

Older Macs and external drives are a different story of course.

On desktop macOS the link just works with the built-in thing.

In 1password (probably regardless of what it’s running on?), if it’s not registered as a handler for the URL scheme, one can add an OTP field to the login item for lemmy manually and then copy-paste the entire setup link into the field.
