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 …

I personally know someone who uses something he calls “Dutch reach-around” and while I’m hazy on the details, I know it starts with some complex setup of a charitable foundation in your home country, with real people and real money and a network of firms and other foundations in the Netherlands that are somehow interwoven. He told me “setup is cheap, only 5 million dollars up front, you can ask my tax attorney for the deets”…

That was a nice move, but no thank you, this is not the kind of money I have lying around.

Bonus how us firms do it, I imagine this costs also a lot of money up front…

Identification of this virus began in 1973, here is an article about it from 1997. - I suppose a lifetime supply of immunosuppressants is far more profitable than the system you are proposing… but I like your system. It just is more elegant.

I think he meant an over time aquired food allergy. Esp. Older folks seem to get them -like me- one can test with a Serum specific IgE in vitro Test. There are over the counter test one can buy relatively cheap.

I did one recently, turned out I was allergic to garlic of all things (among others). Advice is to stay off it for 4-6 months then slowly reintroduce. Life is wild sometimes.

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

• same with GoXLR Configuration Utility. Software is there, the only question is does it work for you.

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!

Or the Neal Stephenson Novel “Termination Shock” where rogue Billionaires shoot elemental sulfur into the upper atmosphere and it works and nothing bad happens because of it.

Reading the novel I was always waiting for basic chemistry to catch up to them (There are a few reactions going Sulfur + Ozone + UV Light > acid rain/ heat trapping isolation layer/ all sorts of cool stuff) and it was a disappointmet to me this was never discussed. I expected more from Stephenson. This book read more like a hazeography of the trillionaires club.

Every time someone mentions “oh no solar is producing too much energy” I think of this deranged Forbes article from a few years back.

Can we please stop calling reactionary right wing extremists “conservative”. There is nothing these people want to conserve.

Twittwr link to video , to anyone curious like me. The render looks like CNSA is about as well funded as NASA.

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_…
