Except Windows is not *enjoyable*; its universally hated.
Speak for yourself, it's not universally hated. I doubt even the majority hates it, since people keep using it.

So, it has come to this.
You ran out of cat food?
Sitting on the underside of the stand are a pair of DisplayPorts. With the front of the panel facing you, the left DisplayPort serves as an input and the right is an output, which allows you to daisychain multiple monitors.
Uh... I looked at the photos and one is HDMI. The port that they claim is HDMI on the side of the stand? That's DisplayPort.
According to the AOC data sheet, it should have 2 HDMI ports total, but the product manual only shows 1. Something strange is afoot.
How do you find the velomobile compares to a road bike? More useful, less useful, or just different?
It's very useful for one single reason: I never have to worry about the weather, and what to wear when it rains, or having to change when I arrive at work in the morning. Also, I can carry a ton of stuff inside, which is great for getting groceries and for touring. And it's quite a bit faster than a road bike on average too. The only downside is, it climbs like a pig. The time lost on the uphill is recovered when going back down, but I ain't gonna race someone going up.
This magical modification of a bike somehow eliminates perspiration?
The only effective way to give less oil money to Saudi Arabia is to buy less oil (and oil-derived products).
Or declare war and steal it.
I guess some random can just say anything and assume it has more merit than someone else's experiences. Given I'm also a random, we're at an impasse here.
In this case, they're an AC and you're not so you get to pull rank
But take for example the Radeon driver (the so called open source one). It takes almost a meg of main memory. The closed source one takes even more memory. Its running all the time that your system is up.
Clearly its not just firmware we are talking about here.
The main memory aspect is taken up by the open source driver code. The firmware blob goes straight to the hardware.
Perhaps. I haven't run the AMD proprietary drivers for a while. When I did, I seem to recall a large binary always running.
The blobs we're talking about here are NOT the AMD proprietary drivers, we're talking about the firmware blobs that the community drivers have to send to the cards at initialization.
So how trivial will it be to slurp the OS out onto a AMD card enabled PC and have our own "HackStation4"?
I'm assuming they meant using an AMD based PC because the drivers already in the PS4 OS might be compatible (which is not particularly likely). Alternatively if you want NVIDIA, they already have an official driver for FreeBSD that you could try hacking into Orbis. Neither case requires a custom Linux-FreeBSD shim.
You would have to write a wrapper around the FreeBSD driver apis for Linux (this may already exist).
Why? You could just run FreeBSD on that PC instead of Linux.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
