I’m gonna be that person… I rarely, if ever have issues with nvidia on Linux. Used several 30xx series cards for gaming over the last couple of years and it’s been a great experience.

Is it my distro (Void)?. is it because I’m happy staying on X11? Is it just luck? Interested to hear people’s gripes

I’ve often wondered if nvidia are constantly assessing the engineering work required to maintain Linux drivers for their commercial GPUs, and now I’m wondering if they’re adding telemetry to provide data for this decision.

There’s a PC game called Ctrl Alt Ego (Steam link) where you play as a disembodied conscience that can project itself into - and control - different entities in the game.

When your current host is destroyed you just become disembodied again and can project yourself into another nearby entity (even the enemy that destroyed your host, in some circumstances). It’s quite a unique concept and almost completely removes the need to quick save/quick load.

If you’re into Immersive Sim games then I would highly recommend it - Stands alongside Prey and System Shock 2 IMO.

As someone who’s team has to go on 1st line support rota every few weeks; The ticket queue has a metric shit-ton of these reports that just never get “fixed”. Can relate.

Clang won’t tell you if you’re missing a return statement.

Is this C++? Have you got some code examples?

I’ve been writing C++ for 20+ years and the last compiler I encountered this with was Borland’s. In the late 90s.

Does this compile with -Wall -Werror? (might not be an option if your dependencies’ headers contain warnings)

Looks like it may be embedded code for a SoC or similar. The only things I can think of is that the tool chain you’re using maybe non-standard… or you’re invoking the dreaded Undefined Behaviour somewhere :(

That means cryptographic keys under one government’s control could be used to intercept HTTPS communication

Could someone smarter than me explain how this would be possible? Wouldn’t the browser still be able to enforce privacy between the client and origin? Or is it the case that certificates issued by these CAs could in theory only support weaker cyphers?

Edit: Some really useful explanations. Thank you!
