Paul ThurrottHOST
It's like RME 64 something something.
Paul ThurrottHOST
But basically what it is is a way to modularize an app or a game where you, it, it, it runs natively on X86, but you have these modules that run natively on Arm, and then you can...
Paul ThurrottHOST
It will perform better on Arm 'cause it, not all of it will be running in emulation.
Paul ThurrottHOST
And, you know, maybe there's something to that.
JeremyGUEST
It's got like, it feels like it's grip tape.
JeremyGUEST
You know, you ever put a grip tape on like an X86? Oh, yeah.
JeremyGUEST
That's what it feels like.
Michael BennyHOST
It feels like free skateboards.
Claire AirdHOST
From there, malicious guests could read host memory and modify it for code execution.
Claire AirdHOST
Pwn Escape impacts KVM running on X86 CPU architectures, which is the most common setup for shared cloud environments.
Claire AirdHOST
The bug was found by pwn.ai.
Claire AirdHOST
In other news, a threat actor compromised OpenCode user accounts to carry out distillation attacks against AI Frontier Labs over the weekend.
Network ChuckHOST
Anyways, now the hardware can be a lot of things.
Network ChuckHOST
It could be a spare laptop, a virtual machine, that appliance that I use for PFSense in my last video, really anything that is X86 based can run OpenSense.
Network ChuckHOST
Here are the minimum and recommended specs.
Network ChuckHOST
What you choose depends on the size of your network and what features you enable.
Will SmithHOST
Yeah.
Will SmithHOST
And this is still several years before the X86 commodity hardware market just started eating all these big iron workstation makers alive.
Will SmithHOST
Yeah.
Brad ShoemakerHOST
Yeah, a cheap desktop computer at this time period would have still been $1,500 or $2,000 without a monitor, right? Yeah.
TristanPANELIST
Yeah, that's crazy.
Michael BennyHOST
Even, even X86s were doing that with the screens.
TristanPANELIST
Mm-hmm.
Michael BennyHOST
Like the Legion Go 1 had a screen that was vertical.
13 MINS LATER
VicariousGUEST
[laughs] That's...
VicariousGUEST
I feel like that's everyone.
VicariousGUEST
Even the X86s are shipping with 512, which is crazy.
Michael BennyHOST
Yeah, which, which is crazy.
Scott ShenkerGUEST
They're typically deployed at the edge of the network.
Scott ShenkerGUEST
They typically, not always, but they typically use X eighty-six packet processing.
Scott ShenkerGUEST
And the things they do to the packet are much more complicated than what you would do if you were just simply forwarding the packet.
Scott ShenkerGUEST
Okay, so if you accept these four facts, there's one absolutely inescapable conclusion, which is that SDN should implement middlebox functionality at the edge in software, replacing all these separate boxes that we have currently doin'...

Scott ShenkerGUEST
If I wanna match over the first 30 bytes, I can do that.
Scott ShenkerGUEST
It doesn't matter.
Scott ShenkerGUEST
I'm not told of, "Well, this ASIC only supports matches up to X bytes, and if you wanna do more than that, we just can't do it." Now, obviously, if I wanna match over more bytes, that goes slower, but we're used to that in software, that if you ask something to do more, it goes slower, but it doesn't fall off a cliff.
Scott ShenkerGUEST
And it's a platform that gets faster over time.
Ivan GodardGUEST
And as a rule of thumb, you need at least a thousand instructions in your top-level cache, so we're a long way from that.
Ivan GodardGUEST
Now, the alternative is variable length instructions, like the, your X86 instruction set.
Ivan GodardGUEST
They are hard to parse.
Ivan GodardGUEST
Intel is very, very good at heroic, and the-- they throw hardware, and they throw power, and they throw everything else at parsing, and they only be- are able to, to, uh, decode, um, four instructions at a time, and then only if it's a b- restricted subset of the instruction set because if you-- some of the, the really lollapalooza instructions in the X86 instruction set you get-
speaker_0ADVERTISER
How do you guarantee your Jägermeister is always ice cold? Well, you could move to Antarctica.
speaker_0ADVERTISER
Sure, frostbite is a thing.
John FurrierHOST
Do they? What's an X? Do they have a hardware device called an X?
Dave VellanteHOST
Well, the X used to be the X86 stuff, so no, it's, they sold that.
John FurrierHOST
IBM X.
John FurrierHOST
You got Z called Y.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Um, this is very...
Paul ThurrottHOST
It's not just ARM or X86, it's Nvidia.
Paul ThurrottHOST
It's, it's the NX one-
Leo LaporteHOST
I mean, it is, it is ARM, really.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Right, but it's also only that thing.
Leo LaporteHOST
Right.
Paul ThurrottHOST
Like, in other words, with Copilot+ PC, you have ARM and, uh, X86 choices.
Leo LaporteHOST
Yeah.
