The readme says this tool is to help developers power their titles to Steam.

Flash was a buggy piece of shit and was blocking development of HTML 5. Adobe was the monopolist in that scenario not Apple. Sorry about Newgrounds and Strongbad but Flash had to go.

Sony has trained me to pay my subscription fee and be extremely skeptical about “buying” any games, no matter how deeply discounted they are. I don’t play much on PC but I have no qualms buying a game on Steam.

Is there something unique about hugging face that the models cannot be hosted elsewhere? I see open source as more important to Nvidia than anyone else because it sells hardware. The services’ motivations are only partially aligned with Nvidia.

That’s just Ubuntu Pro and it’s basically longer term kernel maintenance plus applies to the universe repo not just main. The only extra functionality is the ability to live patch the kernel. The base install works fine as is but some businesses require the extended support.

Our local school district hands out Dynabooks with Windows to every kid. They are so cheaply made that everyone just calls them “Chromebook”.

The elevator probably cost $250,000. The i5 is a laptop chip. I’m sure it’s part of a fanless industrial embedded system. I can’t imagine why this is even news.

Sweeney doesn’t like games, he’s just into programming and game engines. That might help the disconnect between him and gamers.

I’ve been in two taxis that have gotten tickets for blocking the box in NYC 10-15 years ago. I guess I was surprised to see this tolerated.

Agree but would rather it be enforced at the OS level than per app or site. My kid just told me she uploaded her photo to some game she plays which sucks.

Why was it bad with Docker?

On big difference between Windows and Linux is that Windows will work around hardware that is not configured correctly or isn’t compliant with whatever spec or protocol (eg USB). You get errors on Ubuntu because there might be something wrong with your setup. Windows would ignore 5”these issues or have a patch to work around.

Learning curves are real but Linux is way easier to screw up than MacOS. I farted around for a couple days last week getting my Nvidia card to work (switching from AMD). It was not trivial. macOS truly does “just work” unless you’re setting up a hackintosh. That said, the reason I like Linux is because it’s your machine and you cans get it to do pretty much anything you want, whereas MacOS has many limitations. Those limitations aren’t that relevant to most users though, hence the popularity.

I think that is right. It’s probably $15k worth of telemetry for the “Air Force target practice” use case.

Intel Arc Pro is the only GPU attainable to normal people that supports SR-IOV. in general using a couple cheap cards is more reasonable than one expensive card that handles all those functions.

Turing or newer. 20XX or 16XX and newer.

Worked great in VM with Nvidia A4000. Zero problems, just a learning curve to use rpm-ostree and brew instead of dnf.

I don’t think Ubuntu is ruined so much as that Bazzite is very focused on the gaming use case and is a better choice if that’s what you want to do. I use Ubuntu and have tried Bazzite (in a VM with an Nvidia GPU pass thru). Bazzite made the Nvidia based install incredibly easy, and is a particularly good choice for VFIO. I personally use Ubuntu specifically because it’s the same OS as my cloud servers. They solve real problems in that space.

It was sort of a trick question. To upgrade to Sequoia you need to buy a new Mac because the 2016 MacBook Pro doesn’t support it. The Mac is a license dongle to use MacOS until you’re required to buy a new dongle.

Bazzite has native drivers included. I believe Fedora requires you to install them.
