I think you probably don’t realise you hate standards and certifications. No IT person wants yet another system generating more calls and complexity. but here is iso, or a cyber insurance policy, or NIST, or acsc asking minimums with checklists and a cyber review answering them with controls.
Crazy that there’s so little understanding about why it’s there, that you just think it’s the “IT guy” wanting those.
Sr-iov works already though? That’s not needed for this. The motherboard presents the pci bus to the guest regardless of what’s plugged in. Works fine.
This is when you want many guests to have shared graphics by partitioning a gpu. So the host still retains it and presents the graphics card to guests. You need to partition the ram up equally though, so useful only in VDI generally where you want a RTX A6000 like card to split to 10 guests each with 8gb of ram, and they share the gpu, but keep their individual video ram. Economy of scale can work out in graphics or maybe ML situations. Not so useful at home since you’ll probably have a Rtx 3080 with like 10-12gb of ram, and at most you wouldn’t want to split it below 8gb for modern games and partitions need to be equally sized. For 10g two = 2x5gb which would be a poor experience probably. Lots of frame stutters as it switches stuff between ram to video ram.
Hope that helps. Unless this technology unlocks better partitions it’s more about opening to vdi and machine learning in a full open source context like proxmox rather than just the driver being locked behind hyperv vmware and citrix hypervisor/xen and a big yearly license. Maybe it still needs that yearly license.
This is possible now, but in xen or vmware you need to buy a nvidia license to unlock this feature. You can trial it for a minute in a lab but you can’t give 4 guests each 2gb of vram on your graphics card without Nvidia specialist proprietary driver on both the host and the guest.
For vdi where you can buy 48gb rtx a6000 graphics cards, with architects (for example) each user getting each about 8gb each, you can 10 guests concurrently per card. Which at a few hundred architects scales better than buying many $5000 dollar workstations that struggle with WFH.
For a home user, maybe being able to split for your two kids on a standard rtx 3070 with what like 8gb might be OK? Probably not though.
Right now I have a hacky way that isn’t really supported in nvidia to split graphics cards to two guest vms but it’s neither license compatible or what I’d call “production ready”. I’d like proxmox to be able to handle this out of the box because it’s already in the kernel.
I’ve no idea what this means with licensing though. The yearly license cost to allow you to use your driver is actually stupidly expensive. The Rtx A series cards are already dumb money.
Either way it’s a good thing, but probably not much news for the average enthusiast
My brothers overpriced merc uses lighting zones and detection to turn off areas to not blind incoming traffic. Cool, but I’m sure within 5 years these extremely complex lighting arrays will fail and not be user serviceable, other than full headlight cluster replacement for $4k.
More complexity, shorter life. You’ll get what you want but only because it suits the makers.
Printers. Desk phones. Wmi service crashing at full core lock under the guise of svchost.
Without a call to action, this is just an insult.
This is no different to me having a email dedicated to searching for a house to give to real estate agents and someone saying “I don’t think it’s legal that a house has an email”. It was frustrating reading up until your comment that people just didn’t get it.
Google looks. Google reports. Even if you did nothing wrong you’re guilty until you prove innocent and even then you’ll never get your account back.
The hand-etched apology will not appear on the company’s actual devices come global launch
Luckily the article addresses this.
The application yes, but the programmer? That requires network, api and a sent packet or more.
Just because you run a binary doesn’t mean a server across the Internet knows you.
Users though, disregard my advice. Assume what you run is running foreign remote code that could encrypt and ransom you.
I bet to Japanese people it’ll age weirdly with the references it kept making to politicians and actors of the time.
I really enjoyed it when it wasn’t trying to be a shonen jump anime. My favourite episodes like the Nabe Shogun bottle episode, or the several lazy animator episodes either with the drawing quality rock bottom or the paralysis with no animation at all.
I used to watch it on a service called something like animeftw or something that’s no longer around on an xbox xbmc setup. So much nostalgia when I see screen caps.
Why would I game in my office when my couch down stairs in front of a 70 inch TV is so much more comfortable and has no work available to do on it?
This is what I’ve done for years. It just auto starts after OS launch in big picture and I grab my controller. Occasionally I have my wireless keyboard for something but it works fine.
I don’t own a steam deck they’re not available from valve here in Australia. So I’m sure I’m missing out on some polish. But I’ve never seen it so I don’t miss it.
People come over, sit on the couch, grab a controller, steam is loaded, they play game. The OS and then steam is out of the way in a flash. After all I’m after the game not the launcher.
You’re old fashioned. :)
Well good news! Time to let yourself love again!
I ended up reading it on bleeping computer since the linked site looks like an auto tldr bot saved 50% of the words. The important 50% was discarded.
Ah yep that makes sense though I’m following now
Gog doesn’t* (as often?) sell licenses that can be revoked as part of purchasing eula and therefore shouldn’t really have to remove the misleading ‘buy’ word.
Many steam games you don’t own and aren’t buying, you’re being granted access that can be revoked by the property owner. That’s not just steam.
*I’m not a big Gog or games purchaser in general so I’m not sure if that’s accurate. I’m sure you get the point though.
