Oh god, fucking Moonraker.

“Ghost’s”

“Your”

Yea this is a very bad idea.

I have friends in NC, visit them occasionally, this is not going to work, and just cause more problems.

Good job idiots pushing this in a place where it won’t just not help, but will significantly increase problems.

I’ve seen this first hand where I live. That’s not how it works at all.

A developer decided to build a 30-unit building with businesses on the ground floor, downtown, with no parking, in a city that is already lacking parking facilities, and we have busses and trams.

It was quickly a shit show, and suddenly the city decided it was a bad idea.

No fucking kidding?

As corsicanguppy said, we have regulations from learning lessons the first time.

Thanks for the diagram, I can at least see where the pilot would be now.

Yea, article says they were killed.

Ok, this is one where we need a red circle for where the pilot would be.

Holy cow that’s nuts.

Yea, the Broadcom crap really sucks. I feel bad for businesses being held ransom by them.

Hyper-V just isn’t an option for small businesses, unfortunately (it’s really designed for Enterprise where internal expertise is the norm).

I can ignore their nonsense for my home setup., fortunately.

Have you tried XCP-NG or Proxmox?

I’ve found 2 tools that help - browser apps that present websites like apps: Hermit and Native Alpha.

They don’t fix the “open in app” problem because they don’t register as a particular app, but you can create a shortcut that launches a url like it’s an app.

I no longer use my bank’s app, but their website via Hermit. Really cuts down on (shitty) app installs.

I don’t think laptops are much of a concern - virtually every laptop on the planet spends 90% of it’s time plugged in.

All of mine have since the mid-90’s (back then that really shortened NiCd life).

Since they’ve gone lithium I’ve had probably 20 laptops (with multiple running since 2019 as hosts) and seen one spicy pillow - and that was on a year old machine.

My newest machines have charge limit on by default in the hardware. I assume they all do these days as it would reduce support/warranty calls.

Good to keep an eye on them because it can happen to any battery, I just don’t think it’s a huge concern.

Oh, I’m sorry. Lol.

Hyper-V is just so bad. Decided to run it for a while as a test, I couldn’t get back to ESXi fast enough, haha. And I come from the Enterprise world where Hyper-V is common.

My ESXi box draws 20 watts at idle with 3 Windows VMs and 3 Linux VMs.

Guess which of those VMs draws the most power (hint: it’s not Windows).

Power draw depends on more than the base OS, what it does matters so much more. Which is why my one Linux VM draws the most power - it gets used for some intense tasks with ffmpeg.

Interestingly, I’ve found little power draw difference using ffmpeg on Windows or Linux. Both will max CPU while converting and take a similar amount of time.

That look on her face is great! That’s how she looks at Bond.

Would work better with creek or river

Hahahahaha, well done

Fine dammit, I upvote.

Great, gritty, classic Noir with Glenn Ford if I remember correctly.

I’ll watch anything he’s in. The Sheepman with Shirley MacLaine is especially good - the two of them are great together.

Oh, it’s standard bad sci-fi of the time. Entertaining, but bad B-Movie style.

Such a terrible show.

So much like the bad sci-fi shows of the 70’s, haha.
