I think only in certain cinema rigs. See DJI's products eg https://store.dji.com/product/dji-focus-pro-lidar

I wonder how much it's possible to recreate some of the old magic.

I'm sure it's impossible, but what if it's not?

Yes, the government pays (lots of money) for Claude Gov that they use on their networks.

In my experience they very much do not want to be told what they can and can not do with the things they purchase. I’m surprised the deal got done at all with these restrictions in place.

This operating system sounds very interesting! How active is the development? I would imagine it's the type of thing that eventually gets "complete"

Originally we used PCoIP server software and various Zero Clients (they all run the same software). Their video performance is really great, but we found it very difficult to get support for basically anything else (USB, licensing, host OS, etc).

One thing lead to another and now we're building our own server software, thin client OS (no hardware yet, we load our image on COTS x86 devices), and public VDI cloud.

Thank you for the feedback about the website. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts about what was unclear or how we could improve if you can email me (email in profile).

I'd be glad to set you up with credits to run the system through its paces. Right now our most valuable payment is feedback

I'm extremely jealous of Cloudflare getting the trademark for The Network is the Computer (https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-network-is-the-computer/)

At our company (almost entirely engineers) we're pretty near 100% thin client usage. It's nice to be able to "download more RAM" for a big analysis job and not have to go try to buy a new system or something.

I also travel a lot, and it's great to have all of my applications and data right where I left them from any desk in any office

The Sun Ray is a strong inspiration for building https://warpstations.com (currently in closed beta).

The main challenge has been building a modern remote desktop protocol that achieves high performance but without requiring GPUs for each user and works on Linux. VNC is really showing its age, and X forwarding isn't really usable over the Internet. We are also using Yubikeys instead of smart cards, though I'm looking forward to testing some of the FIDO2 cards that are on the market.

One of our colleagues said something that really resonated with me "When you're working using our system it should feel like you're sitting down at a personal supercomputer". There are always more features to build, but the basic vision of being able to sit down at any desk with our Warpbox and connect to your virtual desktop within a few seconds is a really nice workflow.

Is there public information available about why Netflix uses Linux as opposed to FreeBSD for those pieces of infrastructure?

Not necessarily. It was probably a good idea in Jerry Yang's case, for instance

> Not that have knowledge of royalty proportionality, but it also seems unfair to have royalty costs dwarf any other business costs.

Why? Their business model is to take other people's work and distribute it to subscribers.

It seems to me that acquisition of the actual product should be the majority of their cost.

I think it depends on your goals.

I want my ISP to be as close to a dumb pipe as possible.

That has absolutely nothing to do with Secure Boot.

If anything, what you're talking about has more to do with EFI

How much responsibility do you place on her for choosing a career with low mobility and high competition?

Wouldn't that indicate that she should find another position?

It would be easy enough to set up a server to block non-US IPs.

Would that be sufficient to get around ITAR? I wonder what would happen then

I don't think you have to give DNA for a security clearance

In the past, they've flatly refused to support anything to do with pv-grub for me.

It was highly disappointing. I hope you have a better experience.

Are you sure that is a real Twitter account?

It only has 96 followers

But then how does it handle running an x86 game on an ARM device?

This slide deck (PDF) goes into far more detail than I could: https://media.blackhat.com/bh-us-12/Briefings/M_Miller/BH_US...

The security improvements alone are easily worth the money in my opinion.

> Currently I only use the VM for banking and shopping, which I'm still (perhaps unjustly) afraid to use a Windows machine for.

Definitely unjustly.

Windows 8 has far better security mitigations than a base Ubuntu install.

> It seems like such a crime that big companies would delegate these to central departments who barely know how the teams are going or even what they do

It is, but its also an opportunity for smaller business to more effectively compete

Clearly clickbait

Your service is interesting, but your method of advertising is disingenuous

Shuttleworth is the last person I want to leave my fate up to. He is even after RMS.

Unfortunately with clock speeds, we wind up bumping up against fundamental laws of physics.

At 10Ghz, something moving at the speed of light can only go around 3 centimeters per clock cycle. Take out gate delays, and you wind up with something that just isn't practical.

It's unfortunate, and I liked Berlin a lot.

But the new venue should allow a lot more people to attend and participate, and in the end I think that is more important

You don't think there are people out there who shouldn't have their position known to the world in real time?
