Watching TV in Europe with FireFox

2024-02-11 Thread Todd Gruhn
The spinny thing often pops up.

How do I watch TV shows and not have this happen?
Some shows seem to be better than others.

I assume there is an add-on  that fixes this...



x86_64 assembly Hello World

2024-02-11 Thread Fekete Zoltán

Hi There!

I have played with GNU as and ld, and subsequently created a "Hello 
World!" program, which I could not find anywhere else so far. You can 
access the code at the following link:

https://minux.hu/netbsd-hello-world-assembly-x86-64

This might prove useful to someone, or perhaps a good starting point to 
accomplish this page:

https://wiki.netbsd.org/examples/netbsd_assembly

Cheers,

FeZ

That depends if it's DRM protected or, not.
DRM protected content will only play on Linux distros using gnu libC.

This because, Googles Widevine is compiled against gnu libC. Why? Because
Chrome OS is Gentoo under the hood.

Non-DRM protected content will play on NetBSD without any add on. I watch
tv weekly on my laptop and, yes, I'm in Europe

There are examples (including  x86_64 and i386) installed in
/usr/share/examples/asm/hello

It is a bit controversial if this examples are good, the prefered way for
most assembly programs is to link against libc and get the NetBSD marker
note from the libc startup code (src/lib/csu/common/sysident.S).

Thank you for the reference. My intention here was simply to create 
something comparable to the mentioned 
https://wiki.netbsd.org/examples/netbsd_assembly page. A web search for 
"NetBSD assembly" brings up this page as the first result. This page 
demonstrates how simple barebone hardware code operates without relying 
on linked libraries. I found it intriguing to include something that 
works on amd64, similar to the existing 32-bit version, for educational 
purposes.

A little too deep for me.

There is nothing  I can do  about this?
