- Hosting company WebNX had a power outage. (Facebook)
Then their backup generator kicked in and things got worse.
On the good side, they have a working fire suppression.
Less good side, it could be a day or two before Ace is back on his main site, and a handful of our servers at work are offline as well. They need a safety inspector to give them the all clear before they can power everything back up.
- LG is exiting the smartphone market. (WCCFTech)
It's not an unexpected move. They have a lot of profitable business divisions, but that was not one of them.
- If you disable PSF to avoid that potential Zen 3 security flaw, you lose less than 0.5% in average performance. (Phoronix)
Might as well do it if you might be at risk.
Disclaimer: And double fuck.

Kind of a bummer about LG, but not really a surprise. They've been making phones that just aren't quite good enough--or are just strange enough--to not sell well for at least 5 years or so now.
Hmm, has anyone heard from HTC lately?
PSF: In the comments, people suggest that it "may take long enough to be effective" that there may be a bigger drop in performance than Phoronix' benchmark testing can determine. That sounds a little Intel shilly to me, but we'll see.

Generally with that kind of hardware micro-optimisation, a "long time" is tens of microseconds.

Yeah. Given the clock speeds of modern processors, and what the specific optimization is, the idea that it might take minutes to take effect seems a bit weird.

I like phoronix, but for most articles, you can just pretend that every comment is some variant of "First!" or "Ur mom, fagit!" except with worse punctuation and spelling.
(I know there is at least one AMD dev, and one FreeBSD dev who sometimes post in the comments, but they're generally drowned out by the 14-year-olds)
