I’m lucky that the type of competitive shooters that all seem to be using kernel level anti-cheat, have never appealed to me. I ditched windows on my home stuff last year and there’s definitely no going back. Now if only industrial software writers would make Linux variants. Not going to hold my breath on that one though.
When was the last time you used Linux? And what distro was it? Your complaints are a decade out of date.
There is for now. Microsoft is working on closing the various loopholes.
I think a substantial part of the problem is the employee turnover rates in the industry. It seems to be just accepted that everyone is going to jump to another company every couple years (usually due to companies not giving adequate raises). This leads to a situation where, consciously or subconsciously, noone really gives a shit about the product. Everyone does their job (and only their job, not a hint of anything extra), but they’re not going to take on major long term projects, because they’re already one foot out the door, looking for the next job. Shitty middle management of course drastically exacerbates the issue.
I think that’s why there’s a lot of open source software that’s better than the corporate stuff. Half the time it’s just one person working on it, but they actually give a shit.
Like other people have said, it’s going to depend on what you want to do with the NAS. If it’s going to be a pure NAS (ie network storage only), then using onboard will be fine. If you plan on doing other things (home assistant, media server, etc), I recommend going the virtual machine + HBA route.
One of the biggest parts of the problem is that corporate management types can’t quantify experience and skill. This leads to them thinking of projects purely in terms of man-hours, and they cannot comprehend that not all man-hours are equal. It’s an issue that plagues a lot of industries.
I used a hodge-podge of chinesium parts and leftover drives to create a DAS system that hooks up to an HBA via DAC. I’m actually kinda surprised how stable it’s all been.
The only thing I can think of is that there was some sort of event where other people were being willingly set on fire. Like if were some sort of performance that went wrong, I could see there being a reasonable defense that the performer didn’t know she didn’t want to participate.
Yeah, I assumed it was some corporate shenanigans where Zuckerberg sues himself and somehow ends up with more money because of it.
How does a law explicitly interfering with first amendment rights not get immediately struck down as unconstitutional? Limiting free speech is not even an unintended theoretical side effect of the bill; it’s the expressed purpose.
That “not profitable” label should be taken with a grain of salt. Startups will do all the creative accounting they can in order to maintain that label. After all, don’t have to pay taxes on negative profits.
Usually, companies will make their product say 25% cheaper to produce, then sell it to the public at a 20% discount (while loudly proclaiming to the world about that 20% price drop) and pocket that 5% increase in profits. So if OpenAI is dropping the price by x, it’s safe to assume that the efficiency gains work out to x+1.
If Intel disappears, I imagine AMD will end up as the sole owner of the relevant Intel x86 patents during bankruptcy proceedings. Then AMD will then either negotiate a new agreement with someone else who wants to make x86 processors, or they end up having a monopoly on x86 and are forced to tread extremely lightly to avoid an antitrust lawsuit.
Who said the device based service has to be closed source?
Here’s some more food for thought: what happens if they piss off the Eve players? Those clowns have basically been training themselves on how to come out on top in a no-hold-barred capitalist system.
The state of mobile phone market in Canada is so frustrating. Not only is our market dominated by 3 players who refuse to actually compete with each other, but we miss out on half the cool phones that the rest of the world gets too.
I feel like 9/11 was the inflection point. The great recession was just another symptom of the problem. Banks can’t get overwhelmed by underwater mortgages if people aren’t underwater in the first place.
VPN becomes VPS and life goes on.
The VPNs will be harder to ban. Not just from a technical standpoint, but politically as well. Big businesses will be absolutely opposed to VPN bans.
You can try, but I don’t see how they’ve done anything that makes them liable to a lawsuit. I’m just adding them to my list of companies I won’t do business with when they inevitably come back to consumers after the bubble pops.
