This might work for consumer markets, but they’ve got b2b partners with deep pockets and expensive lawyers that are not happy. Also, the problem is widespread enough that a class action suit would be a pretty big deal. I don’t think this’ll just blow over.

IMO intell is scrambling to solve a hardware problem with software so they don’t have to do a massive and very, very costly recall.

Until they unequivocally show this not to be the, just hang tight.

I’d highly recommend hydrus network for that sort of thing. It’s exactly what it’s designed for, and is quite mature but still very actively developed.

Or shot him as well as 2 bystanders and another cop, and then claimed he had a knife, but that it was subsequently stolen.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
That’s why I use this app to normalize time.

New BD toy just dropped.

Virtual Network Computing. It’s basically an alternative to remote desktop.

I’d imagine you could run a VNC server, and then just login from the same PC. This kinda what you’re looking for?

There are some limitations, like I don’t think hardware acceleration would work, for example.

Edit: I did a little searching for “nested x-session” and found out that there is a specific x11 program to do exactly what you want called xephyr. There’s also a brief guide on the arch wiki.

Would you rather take on 30 otter-sized horses, or one horse-sized otter?

I’ve got to agree with this. I love Linux and have run it on my servers for years. That said, I’ve got Mint on my laptop and tried to print an image over wifi at a friend’s place and could not for the life of me get it to print properly.

For the most part things do just work, but there are a lot more “obscure” scenarios that are handled correctly in windows but not Linux.

I also find that when things go wrong on Linux, they are harder to fix. I’ve had several times I’ve had to deal with circular dependency hell to get something to install properly. I did eventually get those problems resolved, but it was often a single person having a tangential problem that hinted me to how to solve it.

Edit: I think if your usage patterns are straight forward enough, it is by far and away the better choice. If you do the same stuff all the time, it’ll pretty much never break, which is not something I could say about windows. So for OP, it sounds like it would be a good fit.

That was indeed what I was thinking of. I didn’t realize it was rejected. My bad, and thanks for the letting me know!

Not to mention that their orbits degrades over time so they have to be continually replenished. That comes at a huge cost which is highly subsidized by US tax payers.

The problem is systemic IMO. The whole VC model requires the enshitification cycle to work. Any technology that should reduce human labour and be a net positive for society instead always ends up in the hands of capitalists who’ll use it to extract maximal profit.

Like, on a fundamental level, automating people’s jobs is a good thing. The problem is all the benefits are going to a very small number of people.

Honestly, deadlock doing the whole Fight Club marketing strategy really paid off for them. I heard so much about “the game you weren’t allowed to talk about” on various streams.

Oh, it’s basically the same as Asshole (or Janitor, as my grandmother called it) but with teams, a definite goal, and a few more valid card combinations. One is obviously a derivative. Now I wonder which came first.

Edit: And to answer my own question:

It is a Westernized version of Chinese climbing card games[5] such as Zheng Shangyou, Tien Len in Vietnam and the Japanese Daifugō.[1]

Backblaze regularly releases failure rate statistics of their drives, and it’s often a big enough dataset to be quite meaningful. I haven’t been keeping up with it lately, but there certainly was a period of time where there were substantial differences in the failure rates of different manufacturers.

So while you do still need to have drive failure mitigation strategies, buying more reliable devices can definitely save you time and headache in the future by having to deal with failures less frequently.

The US is struggling to even maintain its democracy, and all the while, excessive wealth extraction is strangling its economy. They’re stagnating, so it’s not at all surprising that a country with 4x the population would overtake it eventually.

Not that the average person could even do this without a certain baseline level of fitness.

And that’s a huge understatement. You need incredible core and upper body strength to do any of those holds. You need to have an elite level of fitness to compete at that level.

I mostly agree. I kinda felt decisions mattered in a game like Disco Elysium, but you’re still essentially on the same overall track; the only way, things could really matter is if the story lines completely diverge, and that almost never financially makes sense, since you’d essentially be making multiple games and selling it as one.

I don’t think that’s the distinction that GGG is trying to get at though. What they’re going for is making micro-decisions matter. You have to turn your brain on and use it for combat most of the time to stay alive, so you can’t just zone out and go on autopilot then pay attention for when you know you’re going to need it. They want to focus on a much more active play style where there are more telegraphed attacks and dodging all the time.

I enjoy those mechanics too, but I don’t want them all the time. I want a blend of hard and easy, if that makes sense. I want to be able to blast through some content and make my goal clearing it as efficiently as possible, not worrying about dying every second.

And maybe I’m concerned about nothing, and it won’t be that way, but I’d rather try it and be happily surprised than go in with high expectations and be disappointed.

Oh it absolutely is, and it’s totally understandable why they’re making PoE2. But I think there’s also a sizeable number of players whom that aspect (ye old spreadsheet simulator, that is) really appeals to, and what’s more is that they’re very devoted to the game. And while PoE2 might have a broader appeal, I’m not so convinced that it’ll be able to retain as many of those players.
