PCIe / FPGA folks: the ThunderScope people are chasing a strange issue where the TS PCIe card appears to work properly on AMD hosts (even with fairly long lossy channels like OCuLink cables or >1 foot riser ribbons) but is failing to train the link at all (i.e. not even coming up as gen1 x1) on Intel hosts.
Ideas on root cause / fixes? I haven't scoped the training yet, as soon as I get an updated unit in my lab I will.
Good morning with the Negative Neutron remix of Syntagma — ethereal with sweeping bass, loose beats and only fully taking off after 3 mins, then flying high (and low), diffusing into layers upon layers...

Imagine being Discord…
…and seeing that a user has joined a new Discord “server”
…and immediately sends the same message to all channels they can access
…and not feeling the responsibility to automatically ban these spammers
…and instead relying on your moderators/users to do these kinds of platform-heuristic tasks… to act as human firewalls.
I have a fundamental professional disconnect with treating this as anything other than a high priority to fix this for the he…

Maybe this question has been asked before and maybe it hasn't - but to preface - I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV. I have (in a previous, gainfully employed life that I find I am missing less and less outside of the recurring paycheck) liaised with a good number of legal folks - both corporate and external counsel facing types.
And I had been involved - at least in the periphery - of some investigations of allegations of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) on a corporate lapto…

I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").
