AMD Turin PSP binaries analysis from open-source firmware perspective

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-27 19:35:42

Introduction In the previous post, we showed coreboot running on Gigabyte MZ33-AR1 with Turin CPU, the current, newest family of AMD server processors. However, we faced various obstacles and problems. Despite AMD publishing a set of blobs required for the Turin system initialization, they turned out to be not enough to release the CPU from reset by PSP. We were forced to do a workaround by injecting coreboot into the vendor firmware image and flashing it back. The whole process is far from ide

Google answers our prayers, adds 10x zoom button to Pixel 10 Pro camera app

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-05 21:32:25

TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 Pro phones now have a 10x zoom button in the camera app. This is a long-overdue addition as Pixel Pro phones are all capable of good-quality 10x shots.

Google’s Pixel Pro phones all have high-resolution 5x periscope cameras, enabling 10x shots at a lossless resolution. This capability makes these devices stand out among the best camera phones on the market. Unfortu

Under the Hood of AFD.sys Part 1: Investigating Undocumented Interfaces

news.ycombinator.com Mateusz Lewczak 2025-12-03 11:06:47

A quick look at how I used WinDbg and NtCreateFile to craft a raw TCP socket via AFD.sys on Windows 11, completely skipping Winsock. Under the Hood of AFD.sys Part 1: Investigating Undocumented Interfaces Introduction This is the first post in a series about my deep-dive into the AFD.sys driver on Windows 11. The idea is that both this write-up and the library that comes out of it will be a one-stop doc set - and a launchpad - for poking at other drivers that don’t ship with an official spec.

The Google Pixel 10 series is just a few weeks away, and I’m keenly waiting to see what these new phones offer. One of the most intriguing and persistent rumors is that the base model will have a telephoto camera, but what about the Pro phones?

FFmpeg devs boast of another 100x leap thanks to handwritten assembly code

With the latest patch applied, users should see a “100x speedup” in the cross-platform open-source media transcoding application.
