Says here SGI demoed the coprocessor to both Nintendo and Sega. Sega bowed out after their engineers found / perceived problems with the SGI design. I do not remember any behind the scenes article about the realtionship between Nintendo and SGI but having heard a lot of stories, I suspect the read would be entertaining …
As someone who switched to Linux, and found reasons not to for literal decades, this has helped me:
Have a second ssd in your PC that is untarnished by the windows bootloader.
This way one can easily switch via BIOS / UEFI and no other annoying software.
Dual booting is also less annoying, if you switch via boot menu. It lets you test drive and configure Linux anytime you’re in the headspace for it and reduces pressure on yourself.
Install linux on it. My current favorite for your situation would be Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Spin (what a mouthful). Have another exfat partitioned usb disk ready for file exchange with windows. Again, this makes handling windows easier, has nothing to do with linux.
Nvidia on fedora works good enough. third party repos also help a lot.
streamdeck is wonderful hardware, I know a friend who uses it daily with streamdeck_ui
This is to my knowledge as close to “official” as you can get. Good luck on your journey!
LOL I feel you. Had my fare share of run-ins with CEOs and today I’m convinced 90% of them plus all of middle management could be replaced by an LLM.
Interesting article. Newer numbers (2023) are 37.200 Mt CO2 yearly human civilisation output. “Private” cars count around 10% of that (which to my knowledge includes vans driven by tradesmen and “independent” delivery drivers among other uses, vastly distorting the impact of individual car ownership), aviation between 2 and 20% depending on which “emissions factor” the counting organization attaches to it. The IEA numbers vary between 2-4%.
Thank you for the link, that was an entertaining read!
I’ve never seen the safety break feature on my phone - looked into “settings” -> “app info” for “android auto” just now.
The thing that stood out to me: I’ve disabled the ability to overlay onto other apps.
Maybe this works for you too…
This is like a feature that seems well intentioned but dangerous anyway, like the Apple look at screen to unlock feature. Hope you succeed in disabling this feature.
Same. The basic stuff works and i managed to replace recipes with nextcloud cookbook but its quite heavy caldav notes and tasks support on ios would be wonderful but i couldnt find something that integrates into our workflow and systems.
Home Assistant was not on my radar. Thank you!
I currently rent a VM running nextcloud for family use. It currently shows its age with all the nescessary tinkering to keep it current. (also have to use the hosters db which is … difficult)
I’m thinking along the same lines…
a smallffpc at home, dyn to my home ip, wireguard as a vpn into my home, The server runs: radicale caldav carddav, ksmbd family photos.
my main problem: this needs to work on ios and android and linux and windows, reliably, which it currently does not in my test setup.
currently lacking a solution for recipe sharing and shopping list sharing. Maybe setting up nextcloud on my own server is less of a hassle_…
Doesn’t even have to be Apple, the wife and I are on different carriers and I saw the same shenanigans happening.
Signal app or Threema or really any other independent messaging app (except whatsapp, strangely) solved the issue.
