Strange take. WSL2 _is_ Linux, running in a hypervisor with proprietary APIs for acceleration [0]. You're not using an alternative to Linux, you're using Linux that's been vendor-locked to require Windows. [0] https:/&#

Unfortunately, this ban happened close to a year after the original purchase, and my intent and goal was to play the single player campaign of the game I purchased, not get my money back. Not a good look for Activision, in my opinion.

I know Activision now owns Blizzard, but I don't know the extent to which these policies apply across other games. I know World of Warcraft has an active and thriving Linux user base still. I recommend checking https://appdb

This has been going on since the release of MW2019. I myself was banned after trying to launch and play the single player campaign on Linux through Wine/Proton. I was unable to even launch the game to play the campaign again on Windows

That's another great point. With a large build in tmpfs, you can either run into the size limit of the tmpfs, breaking the build and wasting time, or run out of memory and end up with an unresponsive machine. Entrusting this to the VFS

Something to consider is that smaller chiplets have higher yields than monolithic dies given the same defect rate, which can certainly have an effect on price.

It really depends on the voltage. Ohm's law says that current is proportional to voltage divided by resistance. I = V/R This means that as voltage increases with a given fixed amount of power, current decreases. Indeed, a watt is

Not really, you're buying access to a game which you can download an unlimited amount of times and play on your own hardware, often even offline. They're not entirely dissimilar, but they're definitely different models.

Right. Another option is running the model locally from a web page, served from the project source directory, which is still a lot easier than setting up a platform specific GPU accelerated ML dev environment.
