It seems like the current board is stacked with Musk suppoters. So things will have to get very bad before they will push him out.

I don't want to be like this but folks that unironically use ’woke’ makes it very easy to tell their media habits.

Arm chair take here. Probably means nothing. On the scale of earthquakes and larger geology, this is insignificant. Look at the White Island eruption a few years back. If you are on the island it was an awful event. But in terms of eruption

My big take away with the whole City Skylines 2 performance issue and the lack of LOD was that geometry processing is so cheap nowadays. So long as you aren't too reckless with geometry in terms of sub-pixel rendering, you don't r

I could be wrong, but I remember folks that worked on Dreamcast games that loved how you could just throw the geometry at it in any old fashion you liked and the GPU would just sort it all out as needed. Transparencies and all.

That sounds like something from the shuttered Servo team. At least they rose like a phoenix - https://servo.org/

I think the above was a simplification. GUI rendering is a good example of jack of all trades, master of none. It doesn't use tight render loops like game engines but it much more flexible in terms of UI possibilities. There is also th

I saved a copy of this as soon as it popped up. These brochures are something special in themselves. A big part of it is merely nostalgia, but another part is that they put a sizable effort behind these things. They were more than happy to

We were still a year away from the 486. And that wouldn't become common in the home for another 3-4 years.

I had that as well, and also grabbed a Sempron 3100+ a few years later. Both those chips are in the class of punching way beyond their intended weight. Tualatin for its over clockable head room. The Sempron for its oddly large L1 cache for

Absolutely. This is a failure on multiple fronts. It is a sign of system rot that has been going on for decades now. The one upside of the fall of revenue share from Windows is that it means that MS probably won't hold it as an untouch

I used to say, 'Never bet against Intel' but the last 5-10 years or so have not been kind to them. They have been kicking out the supports in the name of efficiency and we are seeing the impacts of this now. Same issue that is pla

Hard to tell. My workplace is currently running on nothing but 13th Gen i5' HP Elitebooks. We haven't had any issues but then I suspect these would all be running CPUS from the same batch, possibly even the same wafer.

Even they only use free software as a fall back, that is a worth while investment.

Hypothetically even if they were liable they would bankrupt before even a few percent of damages is recovered. You cannot pluck a bald chicken.

I hope so but never under estimate businesses to cut corners to stay on top. I hope I am wrong.

I responded to another comment with this and you are right, that is a fair clarification. The base infrastructure worked perfectly fine. The stuff on top of it, not so great.

by DaoVeles 2y ago
That is a fair clarification. More an issue with the stuff on top of the internet. As per your point, the base infrastructure is working perfectly for better or worse!

Might need to manually do it. Depends on if there is any lower level admin access than windows for each system.

by DaoVeles 2y ago
So far requires going into recovery mode and removing/rename the cloud strike executable. Then you can boot into Windows from there, it will probably be a sys admin thing dependent on the organisation setup.

Ouch, considering the devil works under Oracles lawyers, thats bad!

Need something like a hypervisor OS/hardware that isnt IME.

Yep, this is technical legacy in action.

That is not an understatement. This is literally the largest failing of internet infrastructure to date. Alas, using the internet has given us a lot of efficiency. The trade off is resilience. The entire global system is more brittle than e

All good points but Windows didnt win because it had the best tech or user interface. Merely the most developer support thus user numbers. Legacy momentum is an incredibly difficult thing to sway. It has taken Apple decades an potentially h

Its complicated. If you are on the very lowest rung of the industrial structure, you are probably in worst conditions that working on the family farm with the local village. Things will look better monetarily, but the overall life quality

Why would they think that? Please ignore all the microplastics, ecological destruction and wildly altered climate due tot dumping 2 trillion tons of carbon in the atmosphere.
