The console market ever since the PS3 and xbox 360 has been a leech on the PC platform market. They turn up every X years apart to buy a cheap GPU and CPU on a chip and demand rock bottom prices for volume and pay for none of the research and development in the intervening years.

After he acquired it all and spent decades doing illegal stuff for which Microsoft received extensive anti trust fines. Lets not kid ourselves here is trying to redeem himself for his prior billionaire behaviour and it often comes off more as "greenwashing" than actually helping people.

Wealth based fines would be extremely based. Most people would pay nothing and the wealthy would be paying a heck of a lot more. Which is why it will never happen its all about punishing the workers.

I don't think this affects anything other than some really ancient machines from the 1990s which would struggle to have enough RAM to run modern Linux anyway. But the problem is I could be wrong about that and there could be embedded systems that do need modern updates due to internet exposure about or other systems running apparently old instruction sets all over the world. I don't know so I would want to see a feedback site set up for people to say if they need this support and to estimate how many exist.

The DMZ for the ISPs router forward to the second router, then everything that hits your outside IP will be forwarded to router 2. Then on Router 2 you open the ports for your service and forward to the internal machine. That should all work fine.

Its quite complicated to setup as well, just went through the instructions and its a long way from just add to docker and run unfortunately. Would be nice to be able to just get a runner in the same or different docker and it just works easily without a lot of manual setup in Linux of directories and users and pipes etc.

I did the same move from contabo to Netcup. Contabo I had all sorts of weird bandwidth limiting problems that I couldn't explain and which the continued to deny they were throttling. Netcup worked perfectly.

So many of the GPUs have been crippled for the purposes of gaming and there is zero incentive for Nvidia to produce drivers for those cards to do anything else. Alas they will just end up in landfill.

Its going to have a tendency towards bitterness.

One of the issues here is that being a Chinese paper in any field is still the most correlated with the paper being faked in some way. So while china is producing a lot of science and good science its also the world leader in garbage fake science too and it needs to get a handle on the problem.

I suspect it's just corruption. As we have seen government works by giving their friends the work at crazy markups with no requirement anything be delivered. The end result is lots of people getting rich off government contracts and low quality infrastructure at best.

OpenWRT supports two devices for wifi 7 on filogic 880 at the moment in snapshot, the banana R4 with BE14000 wifi card add on, its a development board, and the Asus BT8. There are still plenty of issues but Wifi 7 is starting to come to OpenWRT and these MT7988 devices are going to be the major thing supported first.

The mod packs just keep coming and there has been a number of interesting packs since 1.20 was released.

Its got a billion accounts its the most played game in the world ever so its surprising to find it so far down this list.

The problem is the information asymmetry, there is always another person for a fraudulent company to exploit due to a dysfunctionally expensive court system. Its why we need market level regulations and public institutions that recover peoples money and fine the organisations for their breaches. This sort of thing works a lot better in the EU than in the US due to the sales laws, the ability to return within 2 weeks, default warranty on goods out to 12 months and expectations of goods to be as advertised forced onto the retailers. They work, they need more enforcement from regulatory bodies but retailers do follow them for the most part and quickly change tune when you go to take legal action when they don't because courts know these laws inside and out.

When fake news as a concept appeared a bit over a decade ago it was all about the traditional media and the lies and narratives they formed in their articles. That same media tried to spin it as about the satire sites like newstrump and most recently their entire spin has been about social media being the cause. I think social media has caught more because its clear to see that some users are spreading a lot of misinformation and you can see others falling into the trap but really what legitimises it all is what the media does and does not platform.

The level of production of CO2 is so vast that planting trees is not going to do anything meaningful. We need to sharply and rapidly stop producing CO2 immediately and work on viable scalable CO2 removal and storage methods with urgency.

I don't think they would bother doing that much work at the core of the operating system. They are too busy playing with the UI and cloud integrations they don't care about the algorithms the kernel runs on and they have a better driver situation currently anyway. I don't see the route to this.

The two trailers put out on the Star Trek Youtube channel definitely didn't calm my concerns about this movie!

There is no need, nor is it Star Trek, to have a dark evil underbelly that does all the real work. The true beauty of Star Trek is it makes us reflect on how far away we are from a utopian future version of society. Its an optimistic picture of the future, its the essence of what Star Trek is about.

The UK wastes most of its graduate talent, much of it ends up in jobs other than what the degree is directly in. Despite quite a lot of great Computer Science and Engineering universities most of the reasonable paid jobs have historically been in finance. As inequality gets worse and worse the Uk is becoming a county of serfs and lords once again with a poor populace and very rich owners. Its what people keep voting for so its what they want but it confuses me everytime people vote to be lorded over.
