Which begs the question: if you, as a company, do not want to support the device on systems not on the short list, why not open source the main driver and let the people figure out how to make it work somewhere else? Is this such a stupid thing to wish for?

If I am not here for recreational drugs, I am here for the pay check. What else you want from me then??

One of the biggest problems right now is AI=LLM which could not be further from the truth

I still find in general super creepy that anti cheat systems (most of them) insist on having kernel access instead of using, you know, actual statistics and machine learning.

I do have a question playing this game: how many decided to play with French language and subs? Somehow it feels that is the way intended with this game

There are a couple of things that can be done. Do keep in mind that most of these require some maintenance and checking, since windows updates are notorious for re enabling stuff:

• for windows itself, there are utilities like o&o shutup windows. This usually works quite well to go into the well hidden reg options to disable telemetry
• another good advice is to use such tool to straight up uninstall what ships with windows that you don’t need
• at the network level in your house, having a DNS block level service is great. Pihole and adguard come to mind. This solution is more involved and requires more time to setup, but has tremendous benefits not only on windows telemetry, but overall network telemetry
• if you are not in the capacity to have a network level service, setting up the machine to use nextdns is another good step. It is also a DNS block level kind of solution, but works by pointing the machine to the DNS to be used system wide. Do keep in mind is certainly possible for the system in places to use hardcoded DNS and ignore your options (at network level, you can always force to reroute to your local DNS. The case of DoH is a bit more tricky)

Hopefully this helps

The article is probably not wrong pointing out the price at this point for Intel. However, at least am5 side (maybe am4? Amd refuses to let am4 die) there will be more CPUs releasing. Meaning, you will have to spend a lot less to jump to a newer CPU (while the rest stays. The boards will probably need a bios update, but that’s it).

For this to be actually good to go with Intel, the motherboard would have to be almost no cost via bundles or something (good price, offering boards outright would be amazing but very unlikely).

Slaying pillows in dream tactics

Shake my head my head

Will do after I get the chance

Not using zfs at this point, but this sounds like a good thing to keep in mind

The reason I suspected temps was I changed very recently to a define r6 (got it second hand). And since the start I am a bit suspicious of how it performs thermally (terms of sound is actually quite OK).

I do have a fan on the drives but still one of the drives goes up to 40C still (even with front door open).

Also, when you talk about fsck, what could be good options for this to check the drive?

I am also inclining in this direction. I just ordered a new 8tb drive, and will proceed with smart long tests. When you talk about secure erase, are we talking using dd with /Dev/null?

I am sad because unlike this cat, I can’t lick my nose

There is certainly a very big amount of fuckery going on right now with nvidia drivers. I simply did not know it was getting this bad. Also, I find very interesting the nvidia “open source” bit got the criticism it deserves (is just not open. There was a transfer of responsibilities, and one small part got open)

I find great the devs of the respective projects took time to actually tell how things work for gn. Sure, they get the attention because it’s a known channel, but on the other hand, Microsoft would never give them this much detail and attention to actually understand what’s happening

And running some commands with sudo, you probably should! (Unless is not your stuff and you don’t care)

Those are good points. As I stated on another comment, out of safety and other stuff getting your code in the car sounds very difficult to allow, unless we would all agree that some sort of attestation would “certify” that you are not doing some whacky stuff on your car.

However, I do have a sort of counterpoint to all this (and can be considered a hot take): the dash system, architecture wise, should not be allowed to touch anything on the vehicle operation that involves either safety or driving. Meaning for example, you can (and should) be able to blow the ac with the dash, but never the park brake.

I find all of this very interesting. Seems I was wrong about Linux and cars not being there. That being said, and considering the terms to create code on top of a gnu license, where is the code at? I would be shocked of any of it is actually open and visible

I like a good pun when I see one
