I can confirm your anecdote, based on messing with ML on a linux system in my personal time over the last few years. I don't do any work in ML, but I have never heard of anyone doing anything with ML on Windows other than maybe running some models locally.

Though I will say I have encountered issues in the past with a Linux gaming computer which experienced issues with the Nvidia drivers anytime I decided to update the distro (I was using Kubuntu at the time).

Hah, this gave me a good laugh. There have been countless times where I have ran into this exact kind of situation, and it's not just limited to Microsoft and Adobe.

True. Basically any medium to large scale business is reliant on Windows/Office/AD. While there are open source alternatives to Windows/Office, I can't think of a good open source alternative to AD/Group Policy/etc

Aw, that's sweet! Glad it worked out well for him, always nice to see some good news.

Oh no... better buy one now if you have the chance.

I felt the same way when I was in University and High School. In fact I ended up focusing on it so much at the time that my grades really suffered, and I feel like I could have ended up at a better University and career if I had focused more on my grades and learning.

Either way, I did learn my lesson, and I'm now much more comfortable with myself and not seeking validation or connection from others so much.

I appreciate you taking the time to make this website! Like you mentioned, the more people know about these dark patterns, the more people can learn to recognize and avoid being influenced by them.

I get the same bug in Firefox as well sometimes.

My favorite one: United States v. Article Consisting of 50,000 Cardboard Boxes More or Less, Each Containing One Pair of Clacker Balls

I have a Bose portable speaker that does this, and it works great. I also have a Sony Sound system which supports it, which is kinda odd.

With the amount of money Facebook was offering I could see them having a hard time refusing. If someone offered me 100 million dollars to work on AI I know I would have a hard time refusing.

Oh nice, that basically solves the issue. I've been hearing horror stories of datacenters overloading existing grids and raising prices for the average person, If datacenters generate their own power that basically solves the issue.

Out here in AZ, solar combined with battery would be perfect for datacenters.

We still need to fix the problem with powering these Datacenters....

It will be interesting to see how the X86 emulation plays out. In the Verge review of the headset they mentioned stutters when playing on the headset due to having to 'recompile x86 game code on the fly', but they may offer precompiled versions which can be downloaded ahead of time, similar to the precompiled shaders the Steam Deck downloads.

If they get everything working well I'm guessing we could see an ARM powered Steam Deck in the future.

Despite the fact it uses a Qualcomm chip, I'm curious on whether it retains the ability to load alternative OS's like other Steam hardware.

You can basically tailor the OS specifically for the device and remove unneeded bloat. Also the threat of Microsoft and Windows as mentioned by other users. The introduction of the Microsoft Store with Windows 8 basically kicked off this whole move for Valve. While it took over a decade of work, its paying great dividends now.

I'm seeing conflicting info on the RAM. Some are saying its soldered, others are saying its replaceable.

And iirc it performed worse than SteamOS due to all the Windows bloat.

That actually would be a cool idea and doable.

Yes, the OLED model has a different Bluetooth controller and iirc that's the main reason. Though Valve has been working on trying to backport it to the original models as well.

It looks like Valve wants to avoid going down the road of an extremely locked down system like that. They even view the ability to load alternate OS's as a feature of their products.

The one with the front panel replaced by an Eink screen really looks cool https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/202...

>Valve won’t necessarily sell any of those extra panels, but says it’ll release the CAD files so you can design and 3D print your own.

Wow, the heat sink takes up most of the internal space!

Looks like you can get the versions with NovaMin in the US on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Sensodyne-Protect-Toothpaste-powered-...

>Looks like the US is backing UAE as Saudi wanes

How exactly are they waning? Last I heard everyone there was still as rich as ever due to the oil money.

This is the first time I heard of this, I decided to look up some of the news stories behind it. Maybe I'm nieve, but I thought the Sicilian Mafia died out decades a

I'm guessing this is why, as others have already mentioned, there seems to be an increase in use of x86 processors like the N100. You don't need to worry about stuff like specific vendor kernels.

Also cant do anything right now with the repo's we have in Azure Devops, how lovely...

Same here, I run a few droplets for personal projects and never had any issues with then.

Interesting, thanks for the insight!

I wonder how many stories like this are caused simply because a corporate lawyer is looking for some work to do, and maybe to meet some kind of internal KPI.
