Hopefully just a matter of time before this all works out-of-the-box. The Radeon driver works fairly well for my older card now, so I'm thinking a year from now all the prerequisite FOSS AMDGPU stuff will likely be built in Zombified Zebra (or whatever the next Ubuntu/Mint version is).
For now, I'm fairly content that it works without a lot of fuss.
I think my best experience (thus far) was in Korea. When you buy the ticket, you get an assigned seat (or can choose your seats). That means that I don't have to show up 30+ minutes early so that my group of friends can actually manage to sit together in a decent spot for a popular flick.
And you can validate that he's the one with the twitter account, and that he's the one that actually signed in.
Heck, one of the most popular twitter accounts used to be this one, and while it obviously has "fake" in the name, I'm fairly sure there are lots of fake ones out there. For all I know there could be somebody posing as me on twitter or facebook etc right now.
But hey, it's a crazy terrorist so let's just create some horrible laws or legal precedent. It's not like some jackass will abuse it but creating a impersonation twitter/FB account of somebody they don't like, serving them papers, and then getting a default judgement when they don't show.
I think that many people are missing the draw of theatres, or perhaps they're just worse in the USA and/or you're going at the wrong times.
Yeah, you might get some loud, popcorn-throwing kids if you go to a brand-new StarWars movie at the 8pm showing, but frankly at home I have: * A nice-sized LCD TV * A good 5.1 surround-sound system that I wired/configured myself * Comfy couches * Good tasting food * A nice XBMC setup for watching shows
However, what I also have is a 2-yr-old. That means that realistically, all the above are pretty much used to display episodes of "Curious George" or "Pororo". As much as I'd like to crank it all up late at night and watch some movie with fancy effects and big explosions, the surround gets turned down to avoid waking the kiddo.
The alternative, my wife and I swap turns going out with friends to see the shows we really want in the theatres (or on the odd occasion, go together and get a sitter). Generally there's a nice dinner beforehand, and the shows themselves are at an hour when other people's sh*thead kids are already home or in bed. Yeah, the popcorn, drink, and tickets are a bit expensive, but getting 4 hours of time out is worth a lot!
One of the main banks in Canada, CIBC, had what were called Owl accounts for kids which were fee-exempt and allowed parents to monitor. IIRC they had some bad press at one time when kids passed the age threshold and were suddenly dumped into fee-based accounts without notice.
It is an RX480.I might be a bit off on my minor version numbering. I know it requires at least a 4.7.x but I 4.7.6 was the latest stable and IIRC there were bugs in the early 4.7 kernels too (probably fixed around 4.7.2 or 4.7.4)
Right now I'm using 4.7.6 and some of the updated Xorg/DRI/etc packages supplied with the AMDGPU download from AMD's site. However the highest kernel on Ubuntu/Mint was a 4.4 series so either way I had to download/build one from source, in which case going with the latest "stable" seemed the best choice at the time.
Canadians too. There's been lots of news about this recently. Apparently one woman bought thousands of dollars of iTunes cards for this, and it only came to light because a store manager suspected something was awry when she tried to buy out his whole stock. Even after being told by the manager it was a scam, she went to another store to try and buy more cards and didn't clue in until he called the police and *they* came and told her so.
It boggles my mind that people will continue along their course of idiocy even when told they're being scammed.
You can't fix stupid, but apparently you can buy a lot of apps/music from it.
4.8 isn't just the newest kernel, it was also just recently earmarked as the newest *stable* kernel. For myself, I've got a newer AMD card for which a newer 4.7.6+ kernel is required in order to get proper/full functionality from the built-in AMDGPU module. I was actually on my way to install 4.8 last night but ran into some space issues because I forgot to disable a bunch of modules I don't use (damn those things get big now).
I used to hate the tap because really, it seems like a step backward in security. Nice to know it uses rolling codes, but it still kinda sucks if you have your card stolen.
On the other hand, tap is pretty nice when you're grabbing a quick coffee etc, and the theft thing isn't too bad if you set a low purchase limit. Still seems like a terrible idea for debit though.
"There are literally millions of things that decent, off-the-shelf sensors can detect---things that humans cannot perceive, either due to sensory or attention limitations."
Yes that still does not reduce the GP's argument that there are also many problems that a computer-operated vehicle cannot perceive either. The best solution still seems to be a combination of the two: a human driver, and sensors/warnings/etc to augment him/her
I have an S5. Good phone. Removable battery. Wateproof/resistant. SD card. Headphone jack. My wife has an Asus Zenfone2. Also good with all up the above except the waterproofing. Also cheaper.
Samsung kills the headphone jack, guess which brand *my* next phone will be.
Facebook has allowed item sales in their groups for awhile and there are some *very* good groups locally, so hopefully that doesn't get canned.
But in terms of eBay, a little competition is a good thing. I used to be able find stuff at a reasonable price but nowadays it seems that prices end up higher for used auctions etc than I would have paid for brand new by any of the common vendors that ship to here.
"Why they don't offer Defer Upgrades in the Home version is... I don't know. Cockiness. Force features on the Home-version Plebes."
I'm voting it being something like "we fired a bunch of what few Beta testers we have left. We gave those home users the OS free, so they can be our guinea pigs now"
I only subcontracted via Tek. It was a short contract for what I was hoping would work into a permanent position. I told them as much, and they still tried to stick me with a "cannot take a permanent position unless authorised by Tek" (aka pay them money). I fought with them until eventually that clause was removed.
At the end of my term, I get offered the full position only to find out that they've put in a similar clause to the employer, who then had to pay Tek a fee to take me on. This was after I'd burned my previous full-time position to take this contract. Thankfully the company decided I was worth it and kept me on.
Fast forward about 1-2 months, and Tek starts contacting me asking "if I was happy" and mentioning various available positions at *other* companies I might be interested in. Yes, after *their* client *paid* to get me as an FTE, Tek started trying to poach me away shortly after.
Yeah, pretty much. These days it's "pre-order our game and get a portion of the stuff that would normally have been part of the full game, but is now DLC. Oh, and a fancy box/mini-figure/skin"
Totally agree. NMS is really just the current culmination of years of rot. The whole industry is rotten - especially when pre-orders started becoming a big thing - with promise big and under-deliver being a common theme.
Of course, one could say that about a lot of the software industry in general, not just games. At least with games there are ads and demos which misrepresented the end-product that one can use as evidence.
The best way to get volunteers for this these days would probably be to make it into a reality TV series.

Well, it seems to me that running as a "business" you have to advertise somehow, which inevitably is going to leave a trail back to you.
BTW, what did you need mesa-git for?
I think you might be OK using just the packages from here, and they also provide some info on getting Vulkan up and running.

I might have been a victim of this but for the fact that I ran out of space when compiling 4.8 last night. :-)

Yeah, hopefully Japanese lawyers hang them out to dry on this.
"Oops, we didn't plan this well" isn't a very good excuse for breach of contract.
I have an S5. Good phone. Removable battery. Wateproof/resistant. SD card. Headphone jack.

What's the workaround? I general just use "Desktop mode" on the mobile but that kinda sucks

Indeed. Business is booming from what I hear.
Samsung's management originally stated that they wanted their products "built to last"
However, somebody typo'ed the translation as "built to blast"
Yeah, pretty much. These days it's "pre-order our game and get a portion of the stuff that would normally have been part of the full game, but is now DLC. Oh, and a fancy box/mini-figure/skin"

What's to say a local supplier didn't import models from out-of-country?
