This is the correct answer. Wi was a prolific blogger and fun personality.

That's because AC started development before even Ultima Online launched. It was started by a bunch of college students that loved MUDs and had no idea what they were actually doing.

It was such a special thing before it was hit with a lot of road grading over the 15+ years of monthly patching that smoothed a lot of the rough edges that made it really unique.

It's a very large ocean at this point, so while the percentages are small -- the number is quite large.

Vista had some launch bugs that were horrendous.

Beyond that it was a solid operating system and one of the better Windows releases.

Most people just had shit computers, combined with "group think" regarding it's quality.

Vista64 on a moderately good system with a proper amount of RAM was fantastic for it's time.

There are a lot of us out there.

Information that wasn't quickly groked from their website but some digging(thanks Wikipedia) revealed.

It's based on Ubuntu LTS, so a Debian-descendant.

I appreciate they're trying to provide a specific type of experience, and it's not really a criticism but as a 30+ year Linux user -- with any new distro that's my first question.

Optan... er.. nevermind...

Agree 100%

Elon has always slashed customer service and PR in the companies he runs.

Twitter for all it's warts, was still a haven for public accountability when traditional customer service avenues fell short.

Not surprising that following an unprecedented consolidation of wealth (2020), we see someone take that opportunity to dismantle that.

For me the size is a major advantage. Traditional controllers are an ergo nightmare for me. The width of the controller means my hands are at a much more natural angle and the shape and balance of the deck is very well thought out.

The steam deck replaces gaming laptops for me. Gaming laptops have always been hot, noisy, and highly failure prone. The deck is downright dainty in comparison and doesn't require me to carry a mouse, controller, and clunky power brick as well.

Cool. Glad that works for you. Not everyone can walk. These discussions are always very "me me me" and rarely of much value.

Less than you're probably thinking. Micro-trenching fiber is pretty damned inexpensive these days.

Plex lost me when they became obsessed with trying to put advertisements in front of my grandparents when all they want to do is watch Mash on my plex server.

Another bit of Neal Stephenson prescience.

Same, but it started in middle school for me. I could only read a piece of music once.

Seriously? No path diversity at all for that many endpoints?

I agree. When this method is overused it can be difficult to grok the material.

This is deceptive, though. The "deep fake" is essentially building on the CGI de-aged product. If they'd started with deepfake it likely wouldn't have yielded this level of result.

Nostalgia is funny that way.

To be fair... Bill has won in the end by most metrics...

That this show never had a single Emmy nomination is an absolute crime.

The ensemble cast was phenomenal. They delivered believable, vulnerable, and often completely frustrating performances.

I'm a sucker for period character-driven drama and there are few shows that do it as well as HACF did.

I was drawn in by Lee Pace and my extreme nostalgia for the early days of PC computing. I stayed because I fell in love with the characters.

You can pick apart the technical side of it all day(jwz did) but you would entirely be missing the point, at least in my opinion.

Eh.

I would be more excited if Ben Edlund was involved rather than Whedon. Edlund was the spark and humour behind the series.

Most of the mega-chain theatres were in rough shape two years prior to the pandemic.

I, personally, don't believe that the film exhibition format will go completely away. I think it will return to being owned by the major studios with a sprinkling of localized art-house theatres in cities that can support them.

Rebels was basically a Star Wars-ified version of Firefly that targets a different audience.

This is because foreign distribution for movies is usually sold to a 3rd party prior to release by studios. They get an upfront payment.

That's why US box office has always been the only metric that "Hollywood" cares about.

Much like the music industry, the need for the Hollywood-machine, which is effectively a bank that gives loans to make movies - just as record labels would give musicians a loan against future earnings to make an album.

The barrier to enter the world of video content creation has led to more independent films and the platform to restrict revenue from studio-funded productions are evaporating because they were so late and backwards in how they approached streaming.

I agree, I wish this was the case but it's still a compelling gift for my nieces and nephews and tickles my nostalgia for the era of computing that it mimics.

Looks like the script needs to be adjusted to function on the Pi.

I wish I had the cycles and the kit on hand to play with this!

This is common even on x86 systems.

You have to set the irq affinity to utilize the available CPU cores.

There is a script included with the source you used to compile drivers called "set_irq_affinity"

Ex (Sets IRQ Affinity for all available cores) :

[path-to-i40epackage]/scripts/set_irq_affinity -x all ethX

with some tuning you should be able to saturate the PCIe 1x slot.

Edit : with the inbound 10Gb card referenced

There is a part of me that agrees, wholeheartedly, but then there is the other part of me that opted for 64GB of RAM in my gaming desktop because it was trivial in the overall cost of the system.

I'm all for more functionality!
