They have no choice but to move on. The aws outage took most things offline and everyone moved on. Half the people in this thread say their internet goes down weekly. 99.99999% uptime is a meme that very few companies actually require.

Im sorry to hear that. Maybe this is a product aimed at 1st world countries. Expected downtime for 1st world countries is normally under an hour a year and I think people can live with that.

If your internet is shit you do not need to buy this.

You realise that windows already does this and you can still work without internet. The way the sign in tokens works does not require 100% internet connection.

I hate the idea of a cloud OS but I also dont care about society collapsing as an argument.

Ok your internet goes down for a few hours and life moves on. Its not the end of the world.

im sorry your ISP is dogshit. I dont think anyone in your area will want to buy this product.

You do realise power outages affect regular PC users and cloud PC users all the same.

I understand and expect down votes. I am on the same wavelength as most people here. I am just trying to offer some commentary that isnt the same 100x repeated X bad perspective.

I actually asked for something exactly like this at my work a few years ago. I was like why the fuck are we buying 1000 machines when we can run all these desks as VMs off our servers. We didnt end up doing it but I still think its a decent idea for business.

For consumers its a very good value proposition but a horrible trap.

If thats happening you got bigger problems

I have no idea how you put up with that. I would not accept that from any ISP router. If my ISP router has any issue I can ship it back for free and receive a brand new one a few days later. There should also be options for bringing your own router.

I am in a similar but smaller situation. I am making the case to my upper management about these tools. I like you hate them. I decided i'd take the position of someone who was optimistic and hopeful of these tools but practically annoyed by the destructiveness they are having on our day to day work. The problem is our devs fucking love this shit and keep giving glowing reviews.

I said that these tools are being quickly adopted by our team and they are able to quickly respond draft up management level change proposals. However these tools are causing significant friction as these change proposals are riddled with errors and debugging them takes longer than writing them by hand in the first place. Seeing our team using these tools is reducing trust in coworkers output and causing everyone to need to tripled check work yet we still result in more issues. These tools are costly in monthly budget and reduce the reliability of output and efficiency of output.

 

I'm using lutris to run Guild Wars and I'd also like to run guild wars toolbox which needs to be run after guild wars has already started.

I tried running guild wars and toolbox as different lutris installs but toolbox cant see the guild wars process.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

They approached this from a noob perspective and the benchmarks seemed pretty rough. The blog has an overall positive tone on linux which is nice even though it got murdered in performance.

I'd like to see a follow up with optimizations, get some of the linux community involved to help setup an optimized linux test bench to go toe to toe with their "golden image" windows 11 benchmark setup.

They benchmarked a few distros against each other and it was very samey which I expected, the real difference is between the drivers/kernel and desktop environment since most distros come very light in terms of installed software.

I've tried a few peertube instances, peertubenz tilvids, makertube and a few others. I always run into a problem that I dont experience on mastodon or lemmy. I will follow a link and I will try and subscribe to that person from my peertube account and I wont be able to because whatever peertube instance im on doesnt federate.

I get not wanting to federate with every random server but I would have expected a decent network to have formed.

Maybe I have just been signing up to the wrong instances or am doing something wrong.
