Oh, that makes sense. I was trying to mentally imagine what kind of FDM printer could possibly need that much power and was very much coming up with a blank, lol.
I'm disappointed in that writer.
Better phrasing: Sega started as a rock'n'roll breath of fresh air that did what Nintendon't.
Sure, but the way this usually works is that the government tells you to do something and if you don't, they'll find someone (or a couple of someones) on that list, arrest them, and charge them with a crime.
Doesn't matter if they did the crime, and it doesn't matter if they'd be convicted, but the play is to keep your friends in jail until you capitulate to what they want. This is actually something that's happened with tech companies before, like what they did with GoDaddy's C-level in India.
The problem is that there's no damn way I'd want to be arrested by the upcoming US administration, because I'd bet $100 that their playbook will portray not doing what they're demanding as a national security or terrorism offense, and if you've been watching ANYTHING for the last damn near 25 years, that's a free pass for them to basically just vanish you until they feel like doing otherwise.
It's fantastic leverage against organizations that have US people and are, presumably, not willing to just let their friends spend who-knows amount of time in prison, and could probably result in some cooperation.
And I'm about to both get downvoted and WELL AKSHULLY'd about how you can't just vanish people under the US justice system, and sure, you're technically correct. Except we've passed law after law after law since 9/11 that have basically given the government the ability to do any damn thing they please if they call you a national security risk or terrorist, up to and including Gitmo, in case you've forgotten that existed: which you shouldn't have, because we STILL have prisoners sitting there.
This is doomer as fuck, and horribly unlikely, but so is a demand to stuff backdoors into everything. But, if we head down that road, the only safe software will be ones that can't be blackmailed like this which is essentially none of the major projects.
Well, yes, it does: https://www.debian.org/intro/organization
But the corporation that handles all their funding and owns their trademarks is in the US, so they're possibly subject to the same pressure. And of course a good number of those people in that org tree are in the US, so again, same issue.
My point was more 'this is silly, because if you REALLY think that, there's nobody and no project that's got any ties at all to the US that can be considered safe, and you should maybe get rid of all your computing devices now', rather than an intent to say that Debian or anyone there is at more or less risk.
Perhaps it's just me, but they've been releasing a good number of actually good things, though?
Persona, Yakuza, PSO, and even the fact the Sonic movies were..... good? Or at least entertaining enough, which is a victory for a video game movie series, heh.
So uh, if I can ask, why?
Like what are you doing that needs this kind of uh, upgrade?
Ugh, think this means I should probably kill the navidrome container.
Mostly using Jellyfin for music now anyways, but the whole damn point of hosting my own shit is that it's not got opt-out data telemetry being sent to who the fuck knows who are going to do who the fuck knows what with it.
I'm not up on corpo shareholder suits in general, but has there been a high-profile case of shareholders demanding the return of salary from CEOs that managed do nothing useful?
Like, did Carly or Leo have to pay HP back for their blunders? Or Marissa at Yahoo? And so on, etc.
I mean, if you want to carry that line of reasoning out, the Linux kernel is governed under a US-based foundation, so should the kernel itself be suspect?
How about FreeBSD? Or something like Debian? Or Ubuntu, which isn't US-based but they're in a typically cooperating jurisdiction?
You're def being paranoid and somewhat irrational, since it's unlikely to happen and if it did, it's not like you could trust anything at all anyways.
One thing you probably need to figure out first: how are the dgpu and igpu connected to each other, and then which ports are connected to which gpu.
Everyone does funky shit with this, and you'll sometimes have dgpus that require the igpu to do anything, or cases where the internal panel is only hooked up to the igpu (or only the dgpu), and the hdmi and display port and so on can be any damn thing.
So uh, before you get too deep in planning what gets which gpu, you probably need to see if the outputs you need support what you want to do.
I'm sure an AI babysitter won't be immediately and utterly broken and bypassed by every single kid in these "classes".
(Seriously: we're talking about 8-12 year olds here and the absolutely are smart enough and incentivized to break the ever-loving crap out of this stupid idea.)
I'll admit to having no opinion on windowing systems.
If the distro ships with X, I use X, and if it ships with Wayland, I use Wayland.
I'd honestly probably not be able tell you which systems I've been using use one or the other, and that's a good thing: if you can't tell, then it probably doesn't matter anymore.
