I've tried that -- it's what I would think would work, but the few times I did, it didn't work. I don't recall what I was testing with, but it was likely either a Windows OS ISO, or a VMWare ESXi ISO. I haven't trie

Np. I messed around for a bit till I found it also. I'm surprised it didn't pop up on my radar previously. It's really helped me a ton with getting things working under Ubuntu. I haven't played Rimworld yet. Might have t

I don't mind the questions at all. I hope you didn't want the TL;DR version. Some of my pain points. Many probably have solutions, but I'm stuck between spending time dealing with it the way it is, and spending time finding a

Been on Ubuntu for a bit over a year now. Steam works great, and LibreOffice has been good enough to get the job done. I run Google Earth Pro and Sketchup in Wine, even World of Warcraft runs quite well in Wine. I had a ton of issues with W

Agreed. Their forced Windows 10 upgrade "mistake" and my experience last year trying to plug all the holes in enterprise just to watch them re-install Candy Crush Saga with the next update vaporized any confidence or trust I had.

DNS blackholing is playing whack-a-mole. I can blackhole scontent.xx.fbcdn.net today, and I have no assurance or confidence that they won't use scontent.xx.fbcdn2.net tomorrow. DNS/FW whitelist is the only way to have even a littl

I went through the same thing last year. I spent two months trying to plug all the holes in the enterprise version, for a medium sized healthcare client, and eventually gave up. The LTSB edition looks promising but I haven't put it und

The local public state college I attended was roughly $150/credit hour. So about $1800/semester was my cost. Books were up to $300 per class. Sometimes I could find a used one, but often it was a previous "edition" which

Very possibly. I'm by no means an aerospace engineer. A quick google turned up this[1] which has a top speed of 296km/h with a 120hp(89kw) engine, and it's likely a good bit lighter than the Lilium with a full battery load. [

It may need 100kw during certain phases of flight --take off and landing for a VTOL craft, or just take-off for a standard aircraft. Cruise power is generally far less than take off/hover power. If the craft were entirely wirelessly po

50kw is still an incredible amount of power to transmit wirelessly without cooking the target and anything that may pass between the power transmitter and the target. Go put an egg in your microwave and watch what 1kw does to it. It would a

As I said. There are ways to combat the problem, but the above comment that it did not apply to jet engines or fuel injected engines did not take into consideration the requirement that the entire fuel system be able to operate at low or ne

How does the fuel get from the tank to the jet or fuel injected engine when the pickup is on the bottom of the now upside-down tank? There are ways to ensure fuel delivery, but the problem certainly isn't unique to carbureted engines,

Agreed. This is like the calls to ban self driving car technology such as Tesla's autopilot because they sometimes make mistakes. Completely overlooked is the number of accidents prevented because of the technology. Just recently when

Does it matter what weapon the murder/suicide was committed with? Yes, fewer guns mean fewer gun deaths -- but does it mean fewer deaths in general? If fewer people own Honda Civics, then fewer people will die in Honda Civic accidents.
