it doesn’t network

What about the certificate installation on windows?

That’s simply bad software practice, which was fixed once pointed out. Fact is that if they had done this on purpose, they wouldn’t have changed it and instead, would’ve came up with an excuse to keep it the same way.

I never claimed it’s malware

I don’t keep track of who says what on this app. Many people in this thread have the idea that RustDesk is some sort of Chinese spyware that is secretly transmitting their files to the CCP. If that’s not your opinion, then I guess we are not in disagreement.

There’s no way for the user to know that clicking this button will edit their GDM config and disable Wayland

Yes, that’s the wrong way to do it, which is why they changed it. I’m not saying this is perfect software developed by experts, but the idea that RustDesk should be avoided at all cost is insane, specially when they have fixed every issue that was raised.

The only thing they are missing is a security audit done by a third party, which costs money and I doubt they care enough to pay for that just to stop all the finger pointing.

Bad coding practices is not malware, that just means the devs are not experts. Also, these were fixed when pointed out by the users, which is the whole point of being open source. The only reasonable issue is the direct modification of the GDM config, which required the user to click a button.

If you don’t want the NSA to spy on you, don’t use anything with a modem. Otherwise forget about it.

I didn’t even know it asked for an email for sign up. I just remember the recovery email.

I don’t think you are required to provide a secondary email, but you get less features without it.

Sounds like you made up your mind on RustDesk being malware, even though there is no proof. All of your replies are “could/can” without even a hint of factual information on RustDesk being some sort of Chinese backdoor, so I guess we can stop this discussion.

I doubt somebody running from a government is taking their tips from wired.com

They do store it and have provided it to authorities in the past. In their defense, modern laws require you to hand over any data you have or get shut down. But they already knew that, yet choose to ask for it anyways knowing that they have to give it away if asked to.

So nothing? Ok

But I want to know what is AMD working on, specially if it has to do with the RT / HDR / color management areas.

HDR/Color Management is not really AMD’s job. That’s between the Wayland and Mesa guys (I guess you could say AMD belongs in the “Mesa guys” umbrella).

Also, I’m pretty sure AMD already supports ray tracing through Mesa, and is enabled by default since version 23.2 on the radv driver:

radv: Enable ray tracing pipelines by default

You can literally monitor where the data is being transmitted. There is no need to trust anyone. If it was sending data to anything that isn’t your relay server, you’d be able to easily prove it.

You can self-host your own relay, what is there to worry about?

Yes, looks like the actual advantage (or disadvantage , depending on who you are) is ensuring that you don’t send a false location to a third party.

You then execute that SNARK on your local device with your current exact GPS coordinates

No, that’s what I’m suggesting. The proposed method in the paper makes no use of GPS, instead it’s some peer-to-peer network.

You mean the hexagon? What prevents you from mapping your GPS output to a hexagon?

It is better, just not on NVIDIA GPUs.

We just re-elected a fascist tyrant who wants to close as many avenues of education and free speech which can be used to educate, organize, and publish against him as he possibly can

Can you point me to instances of Trump closing avenues to education and free speech during his first 4 years? Can’t find any, but I’m curious.

How is this better than just mapping GPS data to a hexagon and sending that to the third-party?

yes

Cool
