Researchers at VUSec have revealed what they're calling "Training Solo", a set of security issues across Intel and Arm CPUs that sound pretty annoying and serious.

808 Lines of BBC BASIC and a Dream: Arm Architecture turns 40.
It is 40 years since the first Arm processor was powered up, and the UK's Centre for Computing History [CCH] celebrated in style, with speakers to mark the event, hardware on show and a countdown to the anniversary.
!["The fact that you can write the whole Arm description in 808 lines tells you how simple it was."
And today's Arm CPUs?
Some good-natured heckling from the audience put the figure as the output of 200 engineers over two years. Quite a bit more than the 808 lines [Furber] recalled for the effort more than 40 years ago. Another wag in the audience suggested that without comments, the line count might be even less, to which [Furber] laughed and said: "Well, it was written in BBC BASIC, which is a self-commenting language."
👾It is difficult to overstate the significance of the Arm architecture and its impact on the modern world.👾](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/489/030/621/253/549/original/348e8fdf188ea1a8.jpeg "\"The fact that you can write the whole Arm description in 808 lines tells you how simple it was.\"

BBC Micro signed by Arm co-designer Sophie Wilson and her co-boffins at the Centre For Computing History, Cambridge.
The computer, a familiar sight in classrooms throughout the UK and plugged into the televisions of well-heeled parents, allowed the attachment of a second processor. There was a unit with an additional 6502 processor, another contained a Z80 processor. And this one could accept Acorn's new RISC chip, freshly stamped out by VLSI.
At 3pm on April 26, 1985, having been plugged into the test board attached to the BBC Micro, power was introduced and the processor worked. Sophie Wilson, author of BBC BASIC and one of the brains behind the Arm chip, copied an Arm version of the BASIC interpreter and tried a command. Everything checked out.
"It did not say, 'Hello world, I am Arm,'" laughed Wilson at the CCH event. "I think that's one of Hermann's [Hermann Hauser, who set up Acorn Computer with Chris Curry] apocryphal stories! But it did say Pi."](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/489/031/652/680/458/original/d466d53ccc4d9986.jpeg "[ImageSource: Richard Speed]

A ten-person team had spent 18 months working on the low-power RISC chip, and it had pretty much worked the first time. That processor, which was first fired up 40 years ago, was a glimpse into the future. It would take bigger companies many years to start seeing things the same way as that early team.
The Arm exhibit is now a permanent fixture at Cambridge's Centre for Computing History, and is well worth a visit. The museum also has a range of computers, along with a smattering of vintage gaming consoles, with which visitors can play.

For my #mobilelinux peeps here are instructions on setting up widevine L3 so you can atleast access some DRM content. I have tested this on the furilabs #FLX1 and #pinephonepro and they both now have widevine support. Biggest thing for me is spotify web pwa, some people can use it to view 480p atleast on netflix assuming you set the UA correctly. This should work on all #ARM based device as it is software based. Thanks #AsahiLinux for creating the script

ARM knackt zum ersten Mal die Milliardenmarke
Höhere Lizenzkosten und Chipabgaben bescheren ARM ein Rekordquartal. Insbesondere der Prozessorbaukasten bringt Geld.
@wolf480pl @cas I just assume they don't want to have to deal with a gazillion of undocumented SBCs that may only get 1 person to once push code that gets accepted, but then "orphaned" and break over time as they may not be willing to build & test every new kernel before release just to enshure it ain't broken!
- Espechally since #ARM doesn't have just a
bootcode.binand #UEFI to boot from, but half a dozen different mechanisms ranging from fixed sector location and -sizes for theinitramfsto #uBOOT & #LinuxBoot, #Coreboot and potentially even #OpenFirmware-style #bootcode...
It's absolute chaos and one of the reasons I didn't even try to build @OS1337 for the #Pi0W as of today...

Laptop & Tablet: Microsoft stellt seine günstigsten ARM-Surfaces vor
Tja, schwache Hardware, die wahrscheinlich nur Produkt-Support von früh bis mittag bekommt – und danach ab in den Elektroschrott. Langlebigkeit? Fehlanzeige.

Nvidia und Mediatek könnten PC-Prozessoren zur Computex zeigen
Die Nvidia-Prozessoren N1X und N1 könnten schon im Mai in Erscheinung treten. Notebooks und Desktop-PCs dürften allerdings noch auf sich warten lassen.

I learned today that Shadow Stack (SHSTK) and Indirect Brach Target (IBT) are modern x86 / ARM CPU features to counter binary exploits.
