I've noticed issue with older hardware. After a recent upgrade to modern hardware (LAN based), all performance issues have been resolved. Currently serving to >30 devices, including 4K media to multiple endpoints and 100Ks files.
If you're on Android, I suggest tasks.org, it supports repeating tasks even if the server doesn't. Of course that means you have to use it when completing a repeating task.
In the comments, the company responds: "I have asked marketing and sales to update that copy. Those versions are target shipping software, which is actually bumped on the developer board as NXP has just released a 4.19 based BSP. These boards will be fully supported by all mainline support that progresses."
FWIW, I doubt the GNU project would stop working on GCC, even if it were rarely used. GNU Hurd and similar rarely used projects barrel on under the GNU banner.
The work wouldn't stop, but people would continue to do the same things they know how to do. Friendly competition gives new ideas. Clang basically forced nicer error messages on GCC. Sanitizers started with clang and were ported to GCC.
Unless the tool is wrong, but I think it was generally marketed as a reliable source. In which case maybe someone can recommend a reliable one to test the vulnerability.
Tools usually just check CPUID and system configuration and don't actually test vulnerabilities. And not necessarily interpreting everything correctly. You can do that without running anything, just checking your OS updates and whether your CPU is out-of-order one, i.e. with speculative execution. N270 isn't and therefore isn't vulnerable.
If you want to truly test speculative vulnerabilities, compile this program: https://github.com/Eugnis/spectre-attack (EDIT: although this one probably won't work on N270, since it uses rdtscp, that it doesn't have, need to find version with just rdtsc)
No, the Xeon Phi "accelerators" are usable too, they are basically 486 cores on modern litography (to allow for higher density/clock speeds), with a vector unit attached to them. I don't know how hard it would be to boot linux on one though...
This host system should be not much more than a PCIe root emulator though. This is the level one can get on an e.g. FPGA with custom logic, which implies that any attempts to insert hardware/firmware level attacks into the actual logic you care about is near impossible to do due to the low-level nature of the custom PCIe implementation.
My father was an alcoholic and went to meetings for over 20 years. Then, one day he felt strong enough to stop going to meetings. A few years later, he was dependant on opioids, which began as a perscription to back pain. I have my doubts he would have gone this direction had he still had the support of being "in the program".
Also, I'd say I've been to well over 100 of these meetings as a youth. I'm really happy I did, as it led me to see how some of the most beautiful people lost everything due to their substance abuse issues, which in turn led me to lead a clean life.
