Russian version of this article, published slightly earlier AFAIU ( https://habr.com/ru/companies/pt/articles/863536/ ) does not look very AI-assisted, but still contains some of the weird moments you mentioned.

"discreet" looks like translation error, in russian version word "special" is used. PC/AT is still there, as well as Xeon example (latter does not seem "not quite right" to me)

Yeah, there were a few words early on that struck me as "This is a non-native English speaker" sort of translation issues, which don't bother me in technical writing like this. But when they started doing INB/OUTB examples as memory addressed instructions, vs copying into a register... I get the point being made, but also, that's not a translation error. Don't use the "This is an actual instruction" font if you're not quoting actual instructions that exist on the hardware. "inb 0x8, 0xFF" is not a valid x86 instruction, not even close.

Anyway, I'd also like to see some of their source, or hardware diagrams, but... it'll come out eventually, I suppose.

Proper IOMMU configuration and assigning anything with DMA to a disposable service VM still solves a lot, though at least these attacks require physical access. So far. I'm sure someone, at some point, will release a SD Express card with awful enough firmware that you can pivot through it for a software-only attack on this sort of system.

Nivas (both classic/4x4/Legend niva and travel/chevrolet niva) are not based on Renault tech, they've been developed inhouse (with GM help on Travel one)

I use firefox profiles, separate for a) personal use b) work and c) personal use with different network settings (as I need more than one VPN connected simultaneously, I launch this profile from Distrobox) to connect to geofenced / ISP blocked services.

I use different color schemes to visually distinguish them.

The only problem is that opening link from other apps do not automagically select right profile, so I have to manually copypaste it. Otherwise, it all works awesomely.

"We are looking for a professional multidisciplinary designer to join our Busy Status Bar team and help bring the product to Kickstarter, generating excitement among future users."

IMO, 1st gen Epyc is not any good, given that 2nd gen exists, is more popular and is cheap enough (I actually have epyc 7302 and MZ31-AR0 motherboard as homelab). Too low performance per core and NUMA things, plus worse node (2nd gen compute is 7nm TSMC)

Basically, all ru. TLD became failing for all dns resolvers that use DNSSEC (which is the most of them)

As user, I am unable to visit any pages on .ru domains, as their IP would not resolve.

Reason is highly likely mistake (human side) in signing procedure, not something time- or hack- related.

Someone is most likely CC for TLD RU, aka АНО КЦНДСИ, official registry of .ru TLD.

That was scary. Fixed at about 16:55 UTC, total about 1hr of downtime.

The badly signed records are still there in various provider's DNS caches as of now. 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 in the Philippines are still affected - cannot resolve .ru domains.

Yeah, I think major Russian providers just flushed caches by hand, as rollout was by-region, which is not smooth nor simultaneous

EDIT: rollout in some very large telecom here is still in progress, by region.

Actually, it is up-to-date (new features twice a year, some of them, e.g. virtual threads, are truly SotA) and not legacy (things like graalvm and helidon 4 are relatively new and are awesome). Do not avoid Java if your project would benefit from it.

Almost no new project would benefit from Java. Android apps should use Kotlin. Avoid JVM for new projects unless there is no other way.

That is not quite true. The majority of population is afraid/unable/not want to be vocal about their opinion in public.

Anecdotal evidence: I live in Russia and I know only a couple of people who supports P. Both pro-war and anti-war people do not.

But you probably live in a big city and mostly have contact with people with similar socioeconomic status as you.

That's true, however I've spent 17 years in a countryside and I'm regularly visiting it. Also, urban population rate in Russia is quite high (at 75%) and 1M+ cities are around 30% to 40% of total pop.

This mirrors my impression.
