For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.
From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."
Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.
@thinkkwer@Tatianalaurent there’s also legal requirements- content providers have legal agreements in place for DRM. Unfortunately Microsoft customers are just cattle to be milked, in terms of protection they have.
Well, color me very confused. In a CPU bound workload two cores on the same socket have substantially different performance (32% slowdown). If I just migrate the running process between the cores, performance changes immediately.
This is on 2x Xeon 5215 system.
I checked that it's not thermals, cpu frequency/boost and the system is idle.
Here's the odd part: The biggest difference evident in perf counters is
a 2.5x difference in icache_64b.iftag_stall, with ~same icache_64b.iftag_miss.
@AndresFreundTec yeah, I agree. My only experience in this area is back in 2015 or so, where used to have to use a tool to manually assign processes to certain cores for performance reasons, was also Intel CPUs.
Just got into DIY… which mean one side of my bed is beginning to collapse because it wasn’t screwed together correctly, so I just fixed it by propping it up with books.
Also if you’re young, studying cybersecurity and you get your first job in an enterprise and wonder how their IT and security ended up in the situation it’s in, imagine 4000 people fixing their interconnected beds with books and you have large orgs.
