False. As a hosting provider Microsoft doesn't care what OS people are using, they just have to host it. But as an OS provider, Linux is still competition, so they still have a reason to attack it.

It's a crap argument anyway because the point was to keep Linux from becoming relevant on the desktop.

There's also just the general fact that they don't softball shit. If something is anti-consumer they say so. It just so happens that everything Nvidia does these days is anti-consumer. Remember when they were the underdog? Those were good days because they were trying hard.

my mod troll is big mad I got a good comment score so he downmodded me three times to prove how broken Slashdot moderation is by design

More like heâ(TM)s lazy and his talent was being at the right place at the right time

I'm thinking "talent" may be a strong word here....

I mean, the words "rap" and "music" are mutually exclusive terms after all, eh?

That's not the problem. The problem is we already are in a scenario where we have two good jobs for every five people. A good job here is something that lets you afford a one-bedroom apartment by yourself in a city that consistently has employment.

Apparently you and those like you, ONLY consider a city to be the equivalent of of NYC....which is quite the outlier.

Most other cities across the US, with plenty of good jobs, allow you to afford MUCH better than a 1 room apartment.

No need for that, just store coolness in the house. Chill the house sooner, it's not just air, the mass of the house itself also cools.

You won't be able to buy it because they will sell it to China, and then they will build more fabs and they will be for HBM, not DDR.

Utilities are heavily regulated because they need to be. They have demonstrated it time and again. PGE in particular has proven it several well-publicized times that you surely have heard of.

The upshot of these regulations is that utilities including PGE only really make money from new generation projects, so they certainly would like to engage in them. But the longer they run, the more they cost, and the more PGE can charge as a result. This also motivates them to build the least cost-effective options.

There is a light version of the patch that only does fixes. If you want all of the content you will have to run Windows, or run the Windows version in some kind of VM. You can use protontricks or steamtinkerlaunch to install the provided openjdk and the required windows runtime and then run the jarfile installer, and copy the 4gb patch into the Apps directory alongside the game executable and run

wine 4gb_patch.exe "SimCity 4.exe"

To install the 4GB patch to a clean install.

I am running SC4 in dwproton.

The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is it's complicated.

Devices with back doors may also dial out from your network. It's common for devices to phone home to check for updates and such so such activity is not necessarily even seen as suspicious, though of course in an enterprise context you should be disabling automatic updates and/or reconfiguring them to use internal servers.

Devices which might be malicious should be segregated onto their own physically isolated networks connected only through firewalls with policies for both ingress and egress so that you can control both types of threat. But it's better still when your software and firmware is OSS, and you build your own images and deploy them to the hardware yourself to have the best chance to avoid the possibility in the first place. Even this doesn't completely preclude such attacks, but it does offer some protection (mostly in proportion to the level at which you're auditing the source files, and the percentage of OSS.)

TL;DR: It's smartest to segregate and whitelist traffic in both directions for sketchy devices.

I don't know that it's really "the EEs" that caused the problem. I suspect it's "the regular programmers who found themselves doing embedded programming jobs". They didn't care how it could be made to work, they just wanted it to work. Most of these haven't even been on USB until recently, they were all on I2C or SPI. However there ARE some standards now and corporations should just use them like everyone else. Since they don't, the semi-pro level stuff is superior, I'm pretty sure the RGB controller I'm using is put out by a one-person company.

Sorry your heart is dead, but a lot of us still understand fun.

Really? Apple produces software which supports RGB LEDs on PCs? What's it called?
