Okay, but that’s still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland’s development but they weren’t at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.

And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn’t work well either. Explicit sync came later.

Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren’t in the stable distros yet.

Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They’re playing catchup and it’s entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.

They’re moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.

And then after everyone read the microcode bit and ran off to write articles, Intel added a note about the corrosion thing. It totally wasn’t timed that way on purpose.

I guess the people buying pallets of $50,000 cards have had words with Nvidia over their shitty closed-source Linux drivers. It’s not like Nvidia have suddenly decided to care about Linux gamers.

Sure, but you couldn’t analyse an individual’s purchasing behaviour over time and show just that person ads for baby clothes because you think they got pregnant.

We didn’t used to have tracking, you know? You used to just put up a billboard or put an ad in the newspaper and you just hoped it’d lead to new customers.

It’s a bit weird that the advertising people implemented fine gained tracking without asking anyone and now we’re just expected to pretend there’s no other way for advertising to work.

This. If you ask an image generator for a bed in the shape of a pineapple, it probably has no pineapple-shaped beds in its training data but it has pineapples and beds and can mash the concepts together.

Since anyone can download and train their own AI, that ship has probably sailed.

They also wouldn’t allow the new devs to talk to the old devs, so they had to figure out the old codebase for themselves.

They’ve done new lighting and stuff like DLSS that applies to the entire game, and they’ve also done a bunch of new textures and art assets for some of the game.

You joke, but I did a ten year old dungeon earlier today and the group talked about how much more colorful it was.

If stuff is designed for big servers that run Linux, it’s easier to get it to run on a desktop PC if the PC runs Linux too because then it’s the same thing except much less powerful.

You’re not supposed to use fc00::/8, so it’s just the fd00::/8 half that’s the new ULA.

That’s what temporary privacy addresses are for. Clients can just keep generating new addresses in your /64, which is it’s own subnet.

Yeah there is: not breaking all your internal traffic when the wan link goes down and you lose your prefix.

It’s also possible to have voltage issues on a device with multi-cell batteries.

My laptop charges on a type-C charger, but only if it can get 15+ volts. If it’s a 12V charger, that isn’t enough to push a charge into its battery. It will run on 12V but won’t charge at all, even if it’s off.

Because grabbing a random prefix from the pool is easier than remembering which prefix is assigned to which subscriber account and keeping it static through ISP network changes.

My ISP does ‘sticky’ prefixes, which means they change when they move users between BNGs but otherwise don’t.

Tradition.
