Compared to AMD's drivers, and ATI's before that, they have always been far and away superior. AFAICT, AMD still can't do drivers, but at least we have the option of FOSS drivers which work on Linux. There are no Nvidia drivers worth a shit on any platform today, except for CUDA.

Yeah, I'm sure IBM didn't intend for business customers to buy the PC.

Wait, what?

Since the consumer only cares about the amount they pay, any reasonable person would understand that's the only number actually being discussed. Amazon should simply not commit fraud, and AGs should simply prosecute when they do. But they're not in the business of protecting our interests, which we know because they almost never prosecute wage theft (which exceeds all other theft combined.)

Not going to ARM is an even better option right now. Let them get that ecosystem sorted out so that every platform doesn't need a special snowflake bootloader first.

Disney is the dumbest of manipulators. They find a trigger and they push it, and when they see it working they make it their whole identity and just keep pushing it. When baby-yoda-we-didn't-know-was-named-grogu-yet used a force power for the first time it was neato because of the reveal. But after that it's just too convenient. This is a problem star wars had always had. Force powers become easier or harder to use when it's necessary for the plot. Problem is, the modern writers aren't smart enough to figure out how to work it out, and whoever's deciding what makes it into the scripts is a poor gatekeeper.

The argument isn't between protecting and not protecting, it's between having humans or computers in charge. Ofc it's not surprising seeing the Naziyahoo clones get things wrong.

Indeed, anyone who can write a headline like that should be prohibited from posting content for a year.

This being Slashdot, I presume they'll be promoted to head editor instead.

This site has really just become a massive trolling operation. They just troll us for engagement.

No there is not. A price is a price. If the price goes up because of inflation, that price still went up when they promised it wouldn't. The problem wasn't inflation, it was a promise they had no intention of keeping.

Because Nvidia can't write a Linux driver worth a fuck to save their lives.

I have two Zen3 PCs, a desktop with Nvidia graphics and a MiniPC which of course has AMD graphics. The MiniPC is flawless. The desktop has issues resuming from suspend — occasionally gives no graphics, switching to a VT sometimes works, sometimes restarting X will graphics working again but sometimes not, suspend with a graphics-heavy application running and come back and it's usually hung and graphics won't work correctly until a full reboot, etc.

If your use case involves Nvidia and Linux and it's not headless, you've got a bad plan.

For most PC-based operating systems, you can find the files on the internet archive. It may take you as long to search for them as to download them, because the files were so small in many cases. I've run NeXTSTEP in some emulator, can't remember which, it wasn't difficult and it worked reliably. I don't see the appeal of doing more than poking at it briefly if you're not running it on real hardware, but there it is. I think I ran it in QEMU/KVM with one of the older hardware models.

DNS-AID SRV-Records? I came here to write a joke about AI giving my PC DNS-AIDS, and the fuckers wrote it for me.

They lost me at the lava battle.

I do hear I'm missing out on Andor.

Look for yourself, but I'm seeing over 30,000 players.

Everyone knows that 10x engineers validate inputs and carefully manage dependencies; so clearly there's no risk of unexpected behavior.

It seems worth noting that one of the items in Wyden's rather pointed inquiry is the fact that the feasibility of doing this is known to have been demonstrated for the DoD by outside people familiar with it at least as early as 2016; so while this is the first confirmed case of adversarial use it's the outcome of at least a decade of just ignoring the problem; and a significantly longer period of failing to reasonably anticipate the problem. It's not like there's No Such Agency you could ask about "how could you spy on someone with the internet even?" if you wanted to know how well or poorly readily available information matched a nation state signals intelligence apparatus.

Purely as a matter of cellphones being expensive and somewhat tepidly capable in the before times I assume that there was a period within living memory when merely telling people not to Gordon Gekko on their DynaTAC where the russians can hear you was good enough; but that would have clearly and rapidly been getting less true for at least a quarter century.
