I would do this (Windows 11 is terrible), but using Linux breaks EA games including my beloved BF1 and also Destiny

How would this work if said AGI “outperforms humans at most economically valuable work”?

How come? Have you had a bad experience with Oracle?

Amazing stuff, although if Doom had worked well on a 386 back in the 90s I'd probably not have ended up in IT.

Spent countless hours trying to get games working by messing about with config.sys/autoexec.bat, defragging, UMA, DMA channels, etc.

Seems to affected Apple Private Relay as well, really slow download (kb/s) and timeouts

Sad to hear Steve has passed.

I met Steve, Bob and Todd at Camber Sands 2001 very briefly, really nice people who didn't act like rockstars at all. Q&A sessions, banter with hecklers, Todd talked about his dog (an Italian Greyhound) a bit.

Friends band recorded at EA, only possible due to charging a low flat fee and no royalties based on who they were - incredible work ethic that has influenced me greatly.

Listening to "Terraform" tonight, and maybe Spiderland by Slint after.

Yes, but the Spotify family plan is twice the price of Apple Music. Youtube is free but has the same problem, questionable user generated content.

Parental controls too. My kids wandered into some explicit user generated content, but any controls are now only available to the most expensive family plan. Deleted the account and moved to Apple Music which offers parental controls in iOS settings as part of the normal plan.

Could you explain what you mean by "gambling security goons" in Ireland?

PPPoE is still very common in the UK, even over fibre. I think it’s something to do with allowing multiple providers on the same infra.

The encapsulation requires a lot of CPU power, and on non specialised x86 hardware you end up needing a highly clocked CPU to get gigabit speeds.

OpenWRT is Linux based so has a multithreaded implementation.

My Flint 2 router has some sort of hardware acceleration so hammering a gigabit line shows <1% CPU, leaving lots of overhead for things like Docker.

Maybe we’ll see decent PPPoE performance from PFSense in the future then - had to move to OpenWrt as PFSense has a single threaded implementation

Any tips on how to do the same for EC2 instances? Am aware of one that’s allegedly joined to our domain but can’t find it in any owned accounts

Could it be game streaming? Xbox Xcloud uses a PWA.

Have you tried Apple Porting Toolkit? It’s able to get most of my Steam library working well (Cyberpunk and Halo for example). There is an app called Whisky that removes the hoops.

I've been addicted to Nicotine lozenges for nearly 10 years now, and have tried to stop multiple times over the past 2. The withdrawal effects are horrific, and I'm pretty much unable to function for a week and have brain fog for a further 3 weeks. Does anyone know if there is something that would counteract the withdrawal effects? My doctor unfortunately just keeps handing me stop smoking leaflets.
