I assume they got nailed by the combination of covid travel restrictions followed by the pause in tech hirings/layoffs. Looks like at some point they got acquired, also have an arm that does custom design and app development; possibly

I have a Lenovo ideapad with the Pentium Silver 6000 chip ($150 on sale at Costco) and it does everything I need with 4gb RAM running Devuan; someday I will upgrade it to 12gb by installing 8gb in it.

I am almost tempted to buy one ASAP, in case ARM is successful; it would be an instant collectible!

Yes, it is because they can do zero-copy sending of content that they can't do under ZFS (yet). Some links to Netflix papers and video talks on this older Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comme

This is the part that people complain about, in that it can access RAM and other devices and communicate with the network, without the user's OS being able to be aware of it, I think.

I wonder what would have happened if they created a ZFS snapshot, transferred as "tar over ssh" to the remote host, then created hourly snapshots thereafter and synced those across? It seems they were not aware of this method.

I remember a number of years ago getting a cheap 1-year Lightroom susbscription as part of a promo. Got it installed, loaded up a few photos. Then went back to the directory to load the photos in a different program for comparison. The phot

No one bought it on those alternative ISAs, however. The Alphas and MIPS vendors had a port but what percentage of those systems ended up running a Unix? This time it is different since DOS and 16bit Windows is out of the picture. This ti

My thinking is that we may be seeing MSFT working to commoditize CPUs and in the process end up strengthening their position while weakening ARM, AMD, and Intel's positions. In the past MSFT was always wedded to x86 but now with other

Since almost everyone uses USB keyboards, I am surprised that a small addon board with just 2 keycaps that can be placed near the spacebar, hasn't already been made. Could do it with a Teensy or anything else that exposes HID, I think.
