Between the gerrymandering, electoral college, stacked courts in case it was close, the whole thing was rigged already. All the land outvoted the people.

Yes, but it’ll likely still be faster, just not as dramatically. Half of 4-94x is still 2-47x faster.

Nobuo Uematsu and Koji Kondo should be as famous as John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Composed the soundtracks of our lives, even to people who aren’t gamers.

Edit: and Yasunori Mitsuda! Almost forgot about him

That’ll just incentivize the cons to take away sick days and turn them into unpaid leave.

POS that ask for a reasonable tip, fine. Ones that START at 20 and up automatically get no tip from me.

I’ve been doing exactly that at home for a couple years now. First with Parsec, now Sunshine/Moonlight.

Host is Proxmox on Ryzen 5800x, 64gm RAM GPU is 2070 Super, with VGPU patched drivers from https://gitlab.com/polloloco/vgpu-proxmox

When I’m gaming I’ll dedicate the full 8Gb to my windows Vm, otherwise I split it in 2 or 4Gb chunks to Jellyfin or my home camera monitoring. 8gb can’t split very many ways, and most things require at least 2 to run.

Locally at home I can run 1440p 60fps rock solid over wifi on any device, from my phone/old laptop/apple tv/raspberry pi. Remote I can do 1080p60, but a bit more hit or miss depending on my network connection.

Experimenting with LLMs I’ve done through the same windows VM, or to a ubuntu dev VM. Works the same way. I’m thinking of transitioning my gaming VM to Linux too.

The amount of VRAM is the hard limitation to get past, the virtualization tech itself has been there for a while.

But to be perfectly honest……it really was just a “let’s see if I could do this” type task, direct GPU pass though is more straightforward and it’s not really worth splitting 8Gb these days. Unless you get a card with significantly more VRAM passthrough is much less work.

I’m getting tired of the extremely loud ads on that don’t seem to be subject to the old TV broadcasting laws that prevent them from being blasted 10db louder than the actual content. Wondering if there’s stuff out there that would let me take the hdmi stream from my Apple TV or other streaming source, and do ad detection like the olden days so that it could just mute or do volume leveling at least.

I suppose something very basic might just be an hdmi splitter to a rpi with hdmi that’ll detect ads via the black screens or “this ad will over over in 30s” overlays, then send a mute signal over CEC or something to a receiver or TV….but would be nice if it could modify the hdmi signal directly.

Thoughts on what to search for to do something like this?

Yes. That’s what allows Unix legends like this: https://www.ee.torontomu.ca/~elf/hack/recovery.html

Polish.

It useless to be first if that product isn’t reliable, sustainable, practical. Apple adds polish to other concepts to make them usable by the vast majority of people.

Laptops existed…..with weird keyboard layouts and mice that were afterthoughts. PowerBook pioneered the keyboard forward design that every laptop now has.

Smartphones existed……incredibly limited, weird UI, awkward input, targeted at businesses instead of regular people. iPhone changed everything so much that every other design died.

Collecting different innovations and figuring how to combine them in a way that is practical and sellable is their continuous innovation.

My 701 with 2gb ram and extended battery still works. I used to go wardriving with that thing!

So I’m SUPPOSED to run a miner to keep mine from being overly idle??

I loved Pi’s, but I hate the micro hdmi connectors

Sure. Whether they’re effective and actually able to execute is another question.

A simple way might simply be to put an actual executable in the file instead, and when a user double clicks to open it it’ll run instead. Or there’s stuff to hide in metadata that could exploit particular players, or even some OS preview systems, and get execution that way.

But…..really pretty unlikely. Possible definitely, but you’d have to go through a lot of effort to get hit by something.
