So is the PITA-factor. I ran OpenBSD for years but it was like pulling teeth and I'm glad I stopped.

It's utterly baffling.

Republicans have been attacking education since the Reagan administration, because of the threat of an "educated proletariat" ensuring that no Republican would ever be elected again. (This is literally their logic.) Republicans literally dumbed down the electorate specifically so that they could continue to win elections.

All of those concepts you think we care about mean dick, because in fact most of us don't know anything about them, let alone care about them.

Long money is on what to do with that cheap compute when this AI dross bubble pops. Hopefully someone does something useful with it.

The problem is, nobody can afford to do anything with it. Just keeping the power on is very expensive. It costs tens of thousands of dollars in power alone just to train a shitty model. None of these companies are anywhere near a profit, so they cannot afford anything, so Nvidia isn't profitable either. They're loaning out more than they're making, and there's no route for them to ever get it back. But they can declare bankruptcy and completely fuck all of our pensions, after they run off with the actual cash.

Another important change increases the amd64 kernel's virtual address space from 4 GB to 512 GB, allowing the system to map over 4 GB of video memory.

Wait, what year is it?

I never connected my LG TV to any network, you insensitive clod! Nobody has yet caught it exfiltrating any data via any random open networks either, only that it connects to them, and there are no such networks around me anyway.

But my router, well, that's definitely on the network...

You're acting like this isn't how the law already works. This is how things are built "in the USA" now. Several of the cars being built here are only actually assembled here, from well over 50% imported content. Subaru is shipping so many completed engines here that simply reusing the packaging material three times before discarding it saves them over a million dollars a year.
