I can’t reveal too much but MS’s long game is to have everyone sign up for a Live account. They want to do what Apple did with Apple ID and iCloud, making every customer sign up for one. Expect more of this.

Of course it was Sony filing the suit. Of course.

Most don’t actually because Wine Is Not an Emulator. It’s a stripped down windows environment that likely doesn’t have the necessary DLLs installed or the file structure to run it. Moreover, WINE doesn’t really do things by itself. If anything did run under it, you’d see a wine-server process spin up.

It’s definitely not 100% safe, but it’s also not a gaping hole either.

Same in Canada and the US. If someone calls you a gimp, it’s a derogatory term that belittles your physical abilities.

Don't forget the iPhone will fail, Netflix will never add ads, and the absolute king "you're not always going to have a calc in your pocket!"

You really painted yourself in a corner with the QNAP setup unfortunately. There’s no way to migrate over to NFS without headache. Moreover, if you want to go the Docker on Linux route, you’re headed for the same headache but different. You can’t really treat iSCSI/LUN as a run of the mill filesystem (as you’ve discovered).

The issue I see is you’re virtualizing everything. Docker was essentially built to negate the OS. iSCSI virtualizes the filesystem. Doesn’t quite matter what you end up running them on really, you’re a slave to each in a sense.

I’ve always favoured running on the rails with this type of thing to maximize compatibility and limit overhead and headache when it comes to potential migration and connectivity to your NAS. Ubuntu server on ZFS running SMB gives you the broadest compatibility and today probably the best performance even on Linux. Moving to NFS doesn’t seem worth at all imo, it’s just a lateral move with a costly bill at the end.

Yeah spot on. It’s pushing 30. And what’s even more wild is that a road to good UX has already been mapped out. By Sketch. By Figma. By Photoshop. By Pixelmator. By Infinity Design. The list is endless. I haven’t seen anything stay so bad. In fact when I used it some 15y ago, I felt it to have been better than it currently is. The UI was at least close to Ps, which is actually quite intuitive (or used to be around 2019).

UX is gold. I used Sketch for work (we have Macs at the studio) and then were forced to switch to Figma. Since Figma is electron, it can’t hook into the OS like Sketch can. That meant the loss of edge snapping, specifically the handles on the vector lines. I felt that tiny itty bitty little loss in my bones. It made using Figma as a whole belaboured in comparison to Sletch (which I feel is near the pinnacle of UX).

Adobe Ai is also a good example of bad UX. That app is so backwards in the way it works and so eclectic in its feature deployment that you can’t just jump into it like you can say Ps. It feels like say Blender without any 3D knowledge.

Why? They’ll all be synthetic dogshit from a company known to never tell the truth in any benchmark.

Intel isn’t going to be the one to pioneer, well, anything.

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

They will likely try to leverage AI to reduce rendering like AMD. I suspect this is literally announced to show that Intel is still relevant and to prevent more bleeding from that company. They did similar when Apple dropped them. Rather than make better chips, they released a mass marketing push to show they were every bit as good as Apple silicon if not better.

It would be like calling Bill Cosby Gloryhole. Like the name is awful but look at the person.
