A VM would probably do fine.

I just tried to go down the stairs 8 steps at a time.

It’s about precision.

When my car was stolen the police and the county toll road authority both confirmed that neither would bother co-ordinating when my toll tag in that car registered on the toll road sensors.

What are you doing Step-mark?

Won’t someone think of the chess Grand Masters?

Even then, they can just have an open source shim and a binary blob for the driver, a la Nvidia.

Is Facebook still a preinstalled non-removable system app?

Ever since the MS Surface I’ve been a big proponent of this sort of device convergence. Super excited to see this develop.

They’re asserting €120M for X is equivalent to 1¢ for us plebes. An ignorable cost of doing business.

There’s no appetite for these laws in the voter public of any state, as far as I can tell given how VPN usage skyrockets in every state where these laws are put in place. Is California no longer liberal? Also consider the people running sites in any of the states that have such a law. They may resort to just blanket ID-checking everyone rather than risk prosecution.

well you better not get it in his eye, that’s for sure!

I’ve yet to see any state legislature take that proposal seriously

snekerpimp meant if every state requires ID, then VPN to another state will not get around the ID check.

I haven’t settled on anything yet. I basically just want something off-the-shelf which I can run containers on and has good version of Synology Drive. But I just migrated from Windows to Linux, and am finding this to be a sticking point. Synology Drive is available on Linux without on-demand sync. QNap supports QSync on Linux but only for Ubuntu, and it seems like manually unpacking the dev file and installing doesn’t work with latest versions. Running NextCloud on QNap might be an option.

Hell I remember when USB on PCs was basically a set of pins on the motherboard and you had to buy the actual port assembly separately and hope there was somewhere reasonable on your case to mount it. Was going absolutely nowhere on PC until the iMac came and did away with all other ports and no peripherals built in.

that was the final straw for me to switch NAS vendors when I next upgrade.

That’s about a $600,000 savings for that quarter, for a company that reported $13.9 billion in revenue for Q3 2025.

The trans people they never knew they met.

I have a PSVR2 and I don’t consider the capability of VR to be its failure. I have to assume it’s just that much harder and more expensive to develop for VR. Like the FPS genre is hugely successful, and that’s such a natural fit for VR.

Right, that’s what I’m saying. Make a v2 Deck with upgraded CPU/memory, and put the GPU in the dock so it can do 4k on a big screen. I’m sure “Deck v2 is 4x more powerful than v1 and you can dock it for 4k @ 60fps on the big screen” would be just as good a marketing line as “Machine is 6x more powerful than a Deck”.
