Please just give us self hosting nerds SR-IOV on affordable cards. I really want to have a Linux VM and Windows VM that both have access to a GPU simultaneously.

I was hoping Intel would let some of these enterprise locked features trickle down as a value add, but no dice. Every year AMD just undercuts NVIDIA by a small amount, but it doesn’t compete on some of that tech NVIDIA has so it’s a wash.

But they’re too concerned it would eat into their enterprise cards where they make boatloads, so it’s not going to happen. Imagine if consumer CPUs didn’t support virtualization, it would be insane and that’s where we are with GPUs today.

I believed him at first, why wouldn’t I? Self driving was starting to take shape, the demos looked good, I assumed what he was saying was legitimate.

I remember starting to question things around the time of the Tesla Semi reveal. It didn’t make sense to me that you’d use heavy, short range batteries in an industry that runs by driving as far as possible, for as cheap as possible, hauling as much as possible. There were just too many compromises and he didn’t give any details other than acceleration (who cares in trucking).

After that I started looking into him more and realized his bullshit spread through everything he touched. I honestly think most people are simply not paying attention to him, they just read headlines and since headlines never call him out and only amp up the crazy ambitious things he says, people believe he’s a genius.

That seems to be slowly changing as he opens his stupid mouth about politics, but he’s pivoting to a new audience now.

I know, it’s crazy how his supporters don’t put two and two together. HE MADE THE TRADE DEAL HE’S SUPPOSEDLY GETTING SHAFTED ON!

OK, so I followed up on this idea and I’m not sure how viable it is. The chip is very small, but the antenna is quite often traced quite far across the card. The layout depends on the card, but might be more of a pain than it’s worth.

I mean, this is really janky, but you can probably get a second credit card and just cut it down. The NFC area on a credit card is quite small compared to the card itself. I doubt anyone would question it if you were tapping “something” on your wrist to a terminal as people are now used to smartwatch payments.

Yes. This is also something you could have googled in the time it took to comment.

Both movements that are gaining members.

Seriously. Do ANYTHING before letting him send you somewhere like here: https://elan.school/

Yup. America is currently riding the brain rot rollercoaster, and we’re waiting in line holding our ticket.

Ahh, but see you’re been following this over several months/years, or looked up what actually happened. You’re not the target for this dupe.

This tactic works incredibly well as you’ll find you are outside the norm. I still remember people ranting about how Obama was late responding to Hurricane Katrina.

Welcome to Politics 2.0 where the information is freely available but the facts don’t matter.

I see what you’re saying, but it really undermines Signal’s purpose and their integrity.

Take Telegram for example, they used to have a secret chat option, where you could send a message with E2E encryption. Telegram would tout this secure feature, but it was somewhat hidden away and no one used it.

An even better example is Signal removing its ability to handle SMS because they thought it was confusing to people that some messages it sent were secure, and some weren’t. This WhatsApp integration would again muddy the waters and the average person wouldn’t care to look into or understand the difference.

At the end of the day we as people who care about security need to take on the burden of having multiple messengers for different purposes. The ones that want to join us on Signal can, but if we compromise Signal to meet them where they are, we compromise the simplicity of Signal and no one can say it’s secure and private without listing caveats.

I want to state for the record that I was one who boycotted MW2 and stuck to my guns. I have not bought a single CoD game since. I played Warzone (free) with friends when it was new, until it became a bloated mess that highly incentivized buying CoD.

I am not the norm. That boycott was a total failure and in one swoop the publishers knew they could call our bluff. As gaming has branched out and become a household staple there is no such thing as “gamers” anymore as a tech savvy class. We are just regular people. Regular people are dumb and easily manipulated.

I’m just happy to see the rise of indy PC gaming because we now have actual good games to choose from and I never have to support the AAA clowns again.

I’m very similar to you. It’s the principal of the thing. For me you either use Steam as a launcher, because it’s a good experience that actually adds value to my games, or you have no launcher. I do not want launchers within launchers. I do not want a weird online account I will never use to come up every time the launcher I forgot existed times out. I don’t want to take 10 minutes each new game to figure out how to play with a friend. I want to install this smoothly on my Steam Deck. It’s not a good experience and it’s not to my benefit.

There’s just something slimy about corporations trying to suck more out of you with absolutely zero value, in fact negative value in return. That’s advertisments, that’s lainchers, that’s DRM, microtransactions, etc. All exist to the detriment of the customer and they ask you to pay for the privilege. Once you notice that you start to get a little crazy like you mentioned and avoid the insult at all costs.

Because the Republicans tied aid to Ukraine to the Tik Tok ban. Democrats were forced to vote for it to continue to prevent the fall of a country fighting off an invasion.

You think Trump won’t be friendly towards Russia? It’s almost a done deal that he will backstab Ukraine.

I hate to fall into conspiracy theories, but even if Russia doesn’t outright own Trump, they’re easily able to manipulate him by catering to his ego. Trump has mentioned many times that he likes Putin.

I know I shouldn’t feed the troll, but you’re going to have to expand on that last statement.

Raise the military spend now. Stop kicking the can. We’ve helped, sure, but we need to do more.
