Yeah its crazy. And according to Wendell at Level1Techs its actually a huge benefit but yeah, especially at a datacenter scale I can't see anyone buying chips with dlc. Especially with Epyc currently spanking everyone's butt right now.

Maybe instead we have an army of Datas vs an army of Nomads from TOS and they have a big robot fight like in the last Avengers movie.

Or really go off in a bizarre direction and time travel back to a long time ago in a galaxy far far away and team up with R2D2 and C3PO to help fight a team up of Darth Vader and the Borg.

I could go on...

Pretty neat idea. It'd be cool to see other implementations of this like a bulit in capture card or 10G network card or something.

Or even cooler a 2 way sli card with dual 4060tis. Don't see that ever happening though. I'm pretty sure SLI is not a thing anymore.

I will gladly admit that I don't use BSD nearly as much as Linux and know far less about it but I think Apple forking and close-sourcing a version of BSD is a pretty good example of what you said doesn't happen in BSD.

With all that being said, that's what the BSD license allows for and so there's no issue with anyone doing so.

Interestingly, Apple as well as the 2 others I mentioned that ship BSD based operating systems sell hardware meant to cooperate nicely with the software that they "give away". Red Hat and other commercial Linucies? Linuxes? Linnii? often have a support or software license agreement that makes them money.

I was only able to get my Android friends to convert. Now they aren't using it either. Truly a shame.

Basically a privacy policy change that wove them tighter into facebooks's ecosystem and made it clear that Facebook would in no uncertain terms be collecting WhatsApp user data.

Cruisin USA baby!

But seriously, nothing compared to Forza 4 for me. The detail of the cars, the Top Gear commentary, and it was my first game I got with my Xbox 360. Just amazing.

Honorable mention for POD Planet of Death on Windows 95. Its super old but at the time it looked amazing and has a super cool aesthetic and rad soundtrack.

I was devastated when Android Signal removed SMS support. Since then I'm down to just 3 people that I still use signal with.

Its been a shame to see the direction its gone since the huge influx after the last WhatsApp controversy.

Second this, but don't go for the dell minis. I have had trouble with them no recognizing 3rd party power supplies that are often shipped with refurb units.

I've had good luck with the lenovo tiny PCs.

Thank you yes. That was sort of my question. I didn't know if any data is pushed to any other instances as a redundancy or a backup. I only used beehaw as an example since its fresh in everyone's mind.

Sounds a lot like a parallel to the decline of smaller downs in the western US along Route 66 when the interstate highway system bypassed them in the name of faster travel. Very cool to see that concept out in space.
