And trying to get a VM custom rigged with the exact CPUs and RAM you need, is impossible, they have pre configured VMs, and you have to choose from them...can't dynamically add RAM or CPU...has to take a whole step up in VM configs they offer. If you need one with only more RAM, you are SOL....it comes with much more CPU too, and of course, much higher monthly $$$'s.
AWS isn't any different here. These are not on-prem systems running in ESXi where you can just change allocations in vCenter or vSphere - it's a shared hosting environment.
For some OEMs, this has the potential to be ruinous; if FCA's portfolio were the same in 2021 as it was in 2018, the automaker would have to pay some $3.12 billion, out of total net global profits of $4.1 billion.
That's the point: it's meant to be ruinous. Or you clean up your act by improving the emissions output of your vehicles.
I got NMS for PlayStation just after the Atlas Rises update as part of a bonus/giveaway from EBGames. I only played it for a couple of days back then, it's not a game I would voluntarily pay for. I'll download the VR update when it comes out but I'm not expecting it to be a game changer.
Autodesk is almost as bad as Google so far as scuttling software. If you want platform-independent CAD software that has to be from Autodesk you'll have to suck it up and use TinkerCAD.
Why fuck around replacing Steam's DRM.dll files or emulating Steam's DRM master server when you can just buy the same games DRM-free from GoG and Humble?
The supply of physical Steam Link hardware devices is completely sold out.
Moving forward, Valve intends to continue supporting the existing Steam Link hardware as well as distribution of the software versions of Steam Link, available for many leading smart phones, tablets and televisions.
With all the nerds out there purchasing multiple headsets there could actually be close to 100 million VR headsets in the wild.
The only company to release actual sales numbers so far is Sony and they've sold 4.3 million PSVR headsets. PSVR certainly isn't great, either, so I wouldn't be surprised if other manufacturers have sold many more than that.
^ this. Media empires are bleeding money left and right because social media is eating their lunch and doing it better than they ever could. They want governments to crack down on social media to prevent them being a news outlet so that they can win back the breaking news for themselves. How else are they going keep advertising revenue coming in?
Not when it comes to build servers. npm ci deletes the node_modules folder and downloads all the packages again from scratch. You need to turn off npm ci build step and commit hundreds of megabytes (or more) of node modules to your VCS to ensure reliable builds.
Don't forget npmjs. npmjs comes with the added bonus that a ranting author can delete all versions of all of their modules thus breaking previously working installations.
First I want to pooint out that I think this "study" is just a markting scam. NVIDIA is trying to drum up hardware sales now that all the coin miners have gone away.
If it's actually a legitimate study... why aren't all the privacy nuts up in arms? Where's their testing methodology? How is it possible that NVIDIA could come up with such data? How were they able to gather K/D ratios from games so that they could tie specific gamer accounts to the hardware being tested to prove the correlation?
No kidding, this is quite obviously a marketing stunt. NVIDIA is busy, busy trying to prop up their slumping sales now that all the coin miners have stopped snapping up their kit.
Google poached cyberexperts from the National Security Agency and Silicon Valley. It built a threat analysis group on a par with those at the top intelligence agencies and designed a new security infrastructure.
And yet they still let Android TVs browse through other customer's private photo collections. How great their experts must be.
Volvo used to be boxy, but good. Now they've got a relatively clean and nice looking dash - with a frigging Android tablet glued in front. What an ugly installation.
Kernel drivers are required to break these kind of things.
And kernel drivers have to be signed. Microsoft should just blacklist drivers signed by the anti-cheat software developer's key until they can get their shit together.
Apple's been preparing for this for several years already. iOS deployment to iTunes has included the IL output from LLVM (although Apple variously calls it Intermediate Representation or Bitcode) that Apple can recompile for new CPU targets at their end as and when they arrive. I wouldn't be surprised if that's been happening for MacOS apps as well.
Slashdot Mirror
People have put SSDs into the PS4 and it made virtually no difference to load times because the PS4's mass storage interface is unbearably slow.
An SSD in PS5 will only be a win if the mass storage interface also gets an upgrade.
You can, but you may not like the consequences.

I can't see how this service could possibly be useful if it's not allowed to overfly main roads. But, as you say, inducements...

Steam Link was such a huge success that... Steam no longer sells it.
Steam Link hardware sold out
It's only 1Gbps. It would be a very short movie that could be completely downloaded in under 60 seconds on a 1Gbps connection.

Optical discs? Does anyone actually use those any more?

Nothing new there. People have been adding 1's to the left of speed signs since there have been speed signs.
And ninety degree corners like in Automan.

China is one of the top sources BLAMED FOR hacking against western commercial software/hardware companies.
FTFY.
