Subject: The Linux Kernel Hit A Decade Low In 2024 For The Number Of New Commits Per Year

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

With New Year's Eve at Phoronix it means combing through Git statistics for the past year of various open-source projects among other end of year coverage... The most surprising takeaway from today's end of year exploration was seeing the Linux kernel hitting a decade low for the number of new commits this year.

Subject: The GPU, not the TPM, is the root of hardware DRM

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

Do you think streaming platforms and other entities that employ DRM schemes use the TPM in your computer to decrypt stuff? Well, the Free Software Foundation seems to think so, and adds Microsoft’s insistence on requiring a TPM for Windows 11 into the mix, but it turns out that’s simply not true.
