The GPU notwithstanding, there's actually a pile of scientific usecases that this kind of power and portability would be very useful for. The dual network ports also provide a nice means of connecting to lab equipment that primarily communicates over ethernet, while still maintaining an easy way to have a reliable connection to a network.

It's almost definitely not targeted at this use-case, but I could certainly see it being looked at for it.

What would be the difference between Fedora Kinoite and this?

So if I understand correctly, this doesn't change the existing p-states, but just shifts which one is the default in laptop/mobile devices running Ryzen instead of Epyc

Definitely a valid thing to have. Imo, as long as it provides value to you creatively or intellectually, then it's a worthwhile hobby. It sounds like you are using it as well, so that's just a bonus really.

I'm halfway into that mindset, but got myself a bambu after fighting an Ender 3 for so long and for now at least I'm content to just have a working printer instead of a half assembled one 80% of the time. So many calibration cubes.

I had no idea there was a new Lion King movie in that awful hyperrealistic cg format. Why? Disney could straight up just put the original film back in theatres and make more money.

Can confirm. Currently running everything on there through Proton unless there's some outstanding issue

Recommendation: use Heroic instead for Hoyo titles. It'll launch with Proton/Gamescope and it's far more reliable.

It also doesn't mean anything. It's not even slang, it's just a meme reference.

No, but Best Buy does. As does Canada Computers, Shoppers Drug Mart, Gamestop, etc. none of which are as bizzarely aggressive about nonsensical pricing schemes.

The company providing this promotion has a set budget that covers the "cost" of the giveaway. Since this is a monthly service, that budgetary constraint is likely just the value of 6 months times the number of people they feel is acceptable to lose money on in the efforts of a marketing campaign.. Once that allotment has been used, by way of people redeeming the offer, they end the promotion.

The people who redeemed the code or whatever credit to their account is still going to get 6 months of that service. There's no threshold that has to be met in order for everyone to get it.

Client, potentially. Sadly definitely not a server since the removed hardware encoding

The problem is they didn't initiate the DMCA process at all, nor did the report submitted have anything to do with Copyright Infringement. They submitted a fraud/phishing report, as if the domain itself was serving or facilitating malicious content harmful to someone who visits it.. So forget the DMCA process, this was straight up just corner cutting on the part of the firm representing Funko that misrepresented the nature of the situation as a whole.
