JPEG Compression 4 months ago

I found a jpeg2000 reference PDF somewhere. It may as well have been written in Mandarin. I got as far as extracting the width and height. Its much more advanced than jpeg. Forget about writing a decoder.

Heh. 1.Create fast modulus quad M for dword D for the first 2000? 200000? (xM)D 2.Eliminate 0b,101b 3.Divide using vrcp14ss/vdivss with correction. Use fast square root too using rsqrt14.

Baldur's Gate linux native build performed poorly on Gamers Nexus tests.

Where's a proper comparison between the fastest linux OS "CachyOS" and Windows 11 LTSC with all the crap removed, particularly the biggest offenders: Defender, Update, Edge, "fullscreen optimizations" and all the weird little services from print spooler to NPSV_xxx "now playing service" ?

Testmem5 is in a league of its own yet its unclear how. Maybe the AWE table is prone to corruption. Theres nothing special about the internal workings. It doesn't use fences or clflushes.

Is there a simple way to get the "Legacy Console" back without having to format and reinstall windows? Installing packages / the windows modules installer is broken.

I have low pitch rumbling in my right ear. MRI was useless. Hearing test "perfect". Its hard to sleep without background noise. I think its a damaged blood vessel in my brain or neck: veinous stenosis.

Denuvo Analysis 1 year ago

From the "analysis" I gather it works by encrypting the .exe and the key's are server-side. The hardware info is used to further encrypt it.

I think the goal should be to fool the checks rather than remove the encryption which would be a nightmare. CPUID can output whatever you want, it just reads MSR's. I'm sure there are possibilities to use kernel drivers to make windows functions also read out whatever you want.
