A quick one for you. I have received reports, now from multiple sources, that the major torch bearer of the RISC-V platform, a company known as SiFive and formed from the original architects of the RISC-V instruction set, has gone through some major changes.

Ian Cutress muses upon rumors around SiFive, the forerunner of high-performance RISC-V cores.

    That’s the same train of thought I had when telnet was declared a back door in huawei devices.

    During the hey day I passed hcna-rs, the first thing we were taught was to just use telnet as a means to enable shh, then log back in and disable telnet.

    Moral of the story, do not under estimate a nation state’s use of global tech media to effect a global drop of a product or manufacturer from the market.
