  • Probably not but you can buy digital signage. You will pay upwards of $4k potentially based on your needs.

  • Big companies with no vision of the future are often ripe for disruptive tech to harvest. We'll see what happens. The apple "visio pro"" is not the future of the company.

  • The vibe has been rancid for a while, people just keep forgetting.

  • Don't worry, Nintendo will make a switch 2 and all the problems will be fixed!

  • Putting conveniences into a VIDEO GAME as MTX means that the inconveniences are part of the design. This is BAD design.

  • I would like to believe he still has a league of greedy dogs that are still trying to get him to pay them. They'll make sure he gets paid so they get paid too. I'm really curious as to how some Grima Wormtounge will make that happen for him.

  • How's dragons dogma 2? ... To shreds you say... And how about the community... To shreds you say ...

  • Only shows story, no gameplay, has four characters on the cover... I'm sure we're all squinting and saying "not sure if suicide squad again".

  • I never thought of hashicorps products as a replacement for VMware but more of an add on to it.

  • I think immutability is the point of this particular distribution. There are definitely some kinks but conceptually I really like what they've done.

    I'm curious, what apps are you having issues with specifically?

  • I think this is very interesting. I've been investigating the solutions and found that a lot of other platforms like scale hci, virtuozzo, and oracle VM are all based on the oVirt/Openstack platforms but have been customized.

    Openshift and Suse Harvester both have a very similar Kubernetes first approach which I think is interesting. Harvester seems to rely on KubeVirt to deploy "legacy workloads" (probably windows).

    The reason I mention openshift though is because I've been paying attention to Wendell, level1techs, and the level1 forums and Wendell keeps hinting that Redhat/IBM openshift + intel is being used as a VDI platform featuring Intel flexGPUs for a secret customer (I wouldn't be surprised if it was a government facility like the national laboratory near Knoxville). I'm just trying to envision how that deployment looks.

  • A lot of people talk about Proxmox but I wouldn't be surprised if redhat open shift decided to throw its hat into the ring as an HP or Dell partner.

  • They listen and say "We hear you but the data shows you much rather have the Witcher 3 running on your dashboard and webcam more easily monetize this."

  • Maybe the blue ray box should have an entire SSD in them or some kind of NextGen Compact flash as long as it's a standard format and not a proprietary format like a switch game. You can buy blank CDs, DVDs, SD cards and there are standards in place to make them readable by entire fleets of devices.

    It's harder for games but I'm coming at this from a games preservation angle.

    Games keep getting bigger and require installation to drive to effectively load assets quickly. I really envy the ability to not have to perform an installation to the device. If your game was simply its own storage device again then you could have that plug and play like experience back and also have that ~4GBps read that even the cheapest NVME drives can offer.

    I have DVDs, but I also have MKV files, and I have the ability to go between these formats. I suggested something like flatpak because a universal physical media image format for games would be just one more way to easily preserve content offline indefinitely and neatly keep it pretty platform agnostic.

    That was my train of thought. I know the likelihood of this being done by a real company is slim to none because of DMCA and over engineering another format is pointless if they can force everything to be download only IRL but I would like to push back and I can't easily archive all this stuff forever on an ever growing 48TB Nas on my home. I would like offline ownership and convenience please.

    If it's going to be too expensive for a company to put Alan Wake Two onto physical media then I'd like a way to do it myself so it continues to work when epic decides they want to pull a Warner Bros and rip it off the internet forever and claim it was a loss to get tax breaks. It would also be cool if it didn't have to install and it just started.

    I understand the difficulty involved with that but we're halfway there with software running containerized on Linux.

    A man can dream.

  • I want this so much. I dream about making cartridges that are glorified PCIE NVME caddys and the slot on your console being essentially a PCIEx4 slot.

    Maybe we could port some games and wrap them up as flatkpaks.

    I'm just spit balling but it could work.
