- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 days ago:
You didn’t present one piece of evidence that $600 is a losing price point for the base model (and you even stated that explicitly). All you’ve done is shown that Apple is known for their outrageous markups; something we all can see with our own eyes.
Given they’re greedy enough to markup storage and ram so much; I’m willing to bet they won’t bother with techniques like “loss leaders”. I bet the margins are just extremely tight but that profit is above zero.

The US Air Force built the Condor Cluster out of 1,760 PS3s in 2010 which I believe saw some actual use. So more than just publicity stunting.

Why would anyone who’s in the market for a by-itself motherboard ever want something you can get as a modular piece as a built-in to another expensive piece?
Besides, if you want everything soldered on you can just buy a laptop motherboard.
Or a Mac

As a Mac owner when I was young, Bungie was my great saving grace for gaming. Loved Marathon even though it ran like shit.
Seeing it turned into that absolute trash and then discovering they didn’t even use AI but straight up stole artwork for it was the final nail in the coffin. Bungie is dead.

I remember owning a Sony Powershot digital camera around the time when that tech first become consumer priced (around 2000 or so) and they had proprietary memory cards. I think it even had a custom USB cable with one end that wasn’t like anything else and one end regular USB

The only reason you think Sony isn’t as bad as Nintendo is because they have better PR (and Nintendo is as bad as you think they are)

You’ve never owned Chrono Trigger.
Sorry, another way in which the world was a lie.
But as the other person replying said, with physical media they’d have to break into your house; probably not happening without them wining some kind of devastating lawsuit against you.
Anyway the point we’re all making by pointing out this seemingly pedantic distinction is that digital media is sold in the same way physical was (just, without the need to transport a physical object to provide access to the media); this is what allows media companies to now take advantage. Whether it’s losing all your “owned” movies when the PS3 store shut down, or your games being “stolen” when Ubisoft shuts down the license server, etc.
Laws haven’t caught up because this transition happened gradually and without such poor practices; and now through regulatory capture will largely be ignored.
It’s a class war and they’re winning, even though they have no idea what the consequences will be as long as they get to live in opulence and control for now.

You always have. Physical copies are sold as a license to use the product but not copy it (in some jurisdictions this is limited to “copy with intent to distribute”). This is also true of movies, music, and other media. This has been true since physical media has been available.
Under our current laws, “owning” a piece of media means control of the copyright; seems pedantic when the common terminology for having a piece of physical media is “owning”; but the point is that they would never sell you ownership; they would have to sell you a non-revocable license.

I’m not sure why you are downvoted, this is 100% correct.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 4 days ago:
In case you weren’t away, we’ve never had digital ownership. All software has been licensed since the dawn of software, including physical media you’ve bought
Are you using a product that is no longer sold because you have the physical media? If the rights holder decides to go after you to compel you to stop or even try to collect damages, they fucking can.
They historically haven’t because it’s a terrible PR move and they might not have a chance in court due to the physical nature of the transaction; but you’ve never “owned” software in the same way you’ve never owned a movie or music. The sale has always been a license and a physical copy.
The problem has always been the pesky physical copy, which couldn’t be revoked. Since we’ve moved to digital, boomers don’t recognize that this is theft in the digital world they’d never stand for in the real world, and the elite take advantage.

- Comment on Fox star trashes Trump’s 50-year mortgage plan: ‘I do not like this idea’ 1 week ago:
Over 50 years? They’d love to do a fixed rate. Hell, a low fixed rate.
The average first time homebuyer age is 40 now.
Most people will die before they pay off a 50 year mortgage. They will suck us dry with the interest and just when we start to make meaningful principal reductions we die; the estate defaults, the bank foreclosed and they “rent” the property to the next sucker, starting from an even higher valuation.
Owning your own home is no longer owning with this plan. It’s renting with extra steps and cost.

- Comment on [Proxmox] Jellyfin w/ NAS mount + iGPU passthrough 1 week ago:
The easiest solution if you want to have managed VMs IMHO is to just make a large VM for all your docker stuff on Proxmox and then you get the best of both worlds.
Abstracting docker into its own VM isn’t going to add THAT much overhead, and the convenience of Proxmox for management of the other VMs will make that situation much easier.
LXC for docker can be made to work, but it’s fiddly and it probably won’t gain you much in the long run.
Now, all these other issues you seem to be having with the Proxmox host itself; are you sure you have networking set up correctly, etc? curl should be working no problem; I’m not sure what’s going on there.
- Comment on Tax strike? 1 week ago:
Federal tax money doesn’t work like that.
The federal government just invents the money that it issues; your (federal income) tax dollars don’t go into a large account that they pull from or something (although I think that social security does). Federal Taxes are used to control the amount of currency in circulation so that inflation doesn’t become a problem. When used correctly, they should also prevent billionaires from acquiring too much power over society via hoarding of wealth.
This is why we just had no problem coming up with 40 billion for Argentina, or funding ICE as the largest law enforcement agency in America.
So while ideally the taxes will offset the spending to prevent inflation, it doesn’t prevent the government who wants to fuck around from doing anything - they can just do it anyway.
This is different than state and local governments, who have to balance their budget because they cannot issue currency.
- Comment on [Proxmox] Jellyfin w/ NAS mount + iGPU passthrough 1 week ago:
It may be better now but I’ve always had problems with Docker in LXC containers; I think this has to do with my storage backend (Ceph) and the fact that LXC is a pain to use with network mounts (NFS or SMB); I’ve had to use bind mounts and run privileged LXCs for anything I needed external storage for.
Proxmox is about managing VMs and LXCs. I’d just create a VM and do all your docker in there. Perhaps make a second VM so you can shuffle containers around while doing upgrades.
If you plan to have your whole setup be exclusively Docker and you have no need for VMs or LXCs, then Proxmox might be a bunch of overhead you don’t need.
I use the LXCs for simple stuff that does a bare-metal type install within them, and I use the VMs for critical services like OPNSense firewall/routers. I also have a Proxmox cluster across three machines so I can live-migrate VMs during upgrades and prevent almost any downtime. For that use case it’s rock solid. It’s a great product and it offers a lot.
If you just need a single machine and only Docker, it’s probably overkill.
