It does support SR-IOV. It supports IOMMU and ACS too, but only for the GPU slot and one of the M2 slots too, so I kind of have to dance around this. Everything else is dumped into a single IOMMU group.

I considered the proxmox approach but decided against it because my GPU is supposedly really difficult to make cooperate with these virtualized environments, so I made it go bare metal and the only VM that would need run would then be the router/firewall stuff. As you can see, thats not going super well.

I’m likely going to end up getting another motherboard just for the freaking passthrough. The whole point of this was to get myself off the cloud and give myself the netboot setup I actually wanted rather than what firewalla has decided I should have but its just not going well :(.

I’m not talking about those. The idea here is the apps still look and behave like local apps. You don’t open an app to open an app. One tap and it just does the thing.

Wake on lan. Done

A drag queen in the area named Serena Hunter. The idea is you get drunk fast. Down this and go on stage. It hits you like a train and everyone gets to watch you deal with it.

Okay there are probably better names but I’m drunk and don’t have access to my full vocabulary at the moment.

Side quest: a Serena Special is jagermeister, goldschlager, rumpleminze, and a splash of 151. It’s not a drink to be enjoyed. It’s a drink with a job to do. A drink with a career. A gainfully employed beverage. It pays taxes.

Do with that what you will.

Which they could also use in the promotional materials! Godamnit they have so many options!

Please use quotation marks and cite your source. She’s a congress critter. Show some respect.

Good. Let them kill eachother.

My wolf is autistic and wants to play commander keen.

See, now I have to know what’s wrong with the kitty.

Valve: “there are things phones are good at. There are things phones are bad at. And there theres the failed attempts to blur the lines. We here at valve have watched others spin their wheels stuck in the mud with their brilliant efforts to make terrible ideas work. We have a different idea….

What about a phone that just does phone things and when it needs heavier lifting, it doesn’t rape your battery or wallet to get it done? Instead, it seamlessly reaches out to your already powerful gaming rig at home? You install an app on our phone, and that tells your pc at home to install the same app automatically. Now when you tap that icon on the Home Screen, your phone taps into the massive power and connivence of an already working rig at home and streams it to your device!

We are compatible with backbone, Xbox and PlayStation, and of course steam machine controllers.

We here at valve don’t see the merit of spending tons of money marketing a compromise. Sell it once. Do it right. If we do the damn job right, you’ll come back for more. No abusive lock ins.

We call it the steam whistle. Small, portable, cheap, but everyone will notice it.”

Tell me Valve can’t market that.

You know what, value releasing a Linux phone is actually plausible. Like, they could totally do it. Lots of people would like it, they could enter a new market with an idea they would be willing to play to that the establishment absolutely refuses to…

Dude, you joke but this is a plausible path the Linux phones going mainstream.

I went through college without using Microsoft office. I was fine. As an employee, if they are paying for the systems and software I’ll use the company supplied stuff.

Dbrand got it right with the companion cube skin. Valve totally missed that opportunity.

If you live in the GUI you really won’t notice much friction. If you work in power shell or command prompt regularly it’s going to be a lot of muscle memory to break but from the GUI? Anything outside of GNOME will feel like home for you.

Aside from Quicken: Nursing Home Edition, I don’t see much keep people on windows anymore. Only one user of mine still uses windows and it’s because quicken (and he thinks only poor people use free software)

My understanding of the excel situation is management had one obnoxious engineer who said “why can’t it do X? Let’s make it do X!” And rather than plan out or coordinate the development of that function, they said “fuck Gavin is annoying. Let him run with this to shut him up.”

Years later, Gavin is no longer on the excel team, no one understands how his code works. No one is going to touch it. So it’s now a weird little thing that tethers people to excel. Not some fancy new thing. No, just a function Gavin put in 12 years ago nobody wants to deal with, because Gavin’s code is as obnoxious as Gavin himself.

This is my theory.

No. All you have to do is say “we don’t accept files from product X. Please submit in one of the following formats/from the following products.”

I’m serious. This works. It’s worked for me for DECADES. If you want to do business with me, you’re doing it on my terms.

Honestly until recently affinity was a huge threat to Adobe. We almost had a way out.
