“With our Pur subscription you can use heise.de without tracking, external banner and video advertising for €4.95 / month.”

Lol between the top paragraph and the bottom one the number of partners increased by 23. I wonder how many partners they have now?

Weird I don't get that at all, maybe my ad blocking blocked it? Or maybe it doesn't show for Americans lol

Disclaimer : i'm no expert here.

TLDR : Direct memory access (DMA) is written in c language. DMA is necessary for fast drivers. But now more drivers are written in Rust.

Linus Torvalds (head of Linux kernel) had to decide how to resolve conflicts between maintainers and developers, who prefer different languages and/or different workflow methods.
