'Nuff said

The schools need internet connectivity whether there is a lot of screen time for the kids or not. What is this shithead even trying to say?

No, I’m not interested in that topic

And one even starts with:

You’re completely right

Hahaha

Not really, it feels fine to me. A lot of thoughtful comments to be found too.

Interesting analysis. I was thinking the same, their customers might not make it.

About this point:

They might not have had much of a choice in making the deal, though. Micron has been extracting the absolute maximum they can out of this situation. Make a deal or get nothing. Their clients will remember, though, and flag them as an unreliable supplier.

Are the other two any better? If not Micron might get away with it. It doesn’t strike me as a very competitive market.

Volkswagen of all people.

They should be the last ones to deny anyone else using privacy preserving tools.

Are you genuinely having more fun now than with good games from 10years ago? Even 15years ago??

On the contrary, I’m still playing those games sometimes. At the moment it’s Need for Speed: Most Wanted from 2005.

And recently indie games are growing in popularity, those are often quite simple visually, or go for a retro style. Megabonk for example, or Mewgenics or Slay the Spire 2.

Kenya AA…

I kept waiting for Kenyian alcoholic’s anonymous to feature in the story. I might be stupid

Is there a term for “lying by imprecise wording likely to be interpreted in a more serious way that what is actually the supportable message”? Because this headline is such a prime example.

When you read this it sounds like Grok fired missiles in some way. But the actually supportable message is that it was used in target selection, and its speed enabled the missile attack to reach such a scale in a short time frame.

Edit: Not that I think that’s good or anything, don’t get me wrong. I’m just railing against the shoddy journalism, despite the horrifying content.

I’m not that certain to be honest. But the following is my best understanding:

• Most drivers are included directly in the kernel source.

• They can be compiled built-in directly to the kernel binary, or they can be compiled as loadable kernel modules. I don’t know how the proportions between the two options look, but at least the essential drivers (chipsets, filesystems, etc) should be compiled in to allow the boot to progress enough that module loading works.

• There are some, like the Nvidia proprietary GPU driver, that are provided only in binary form as loadable kernel modules.

• I also understand that a lot of smartphone drivers are developed out-of-tree against older branches of the Linux kernel. Even those that are made public / open sourced, end up living outside the mainline kernel, and the devs of third party android builds have to cherry pick them into their kernel source.

I think at least the last group should count as an example of a reason of the type for what OP was looking for.

Primarily if you want some functionality that isn’t mainlined, or isn’t released as stable yet.

Like hibernate in lockdown mode, or out of tree drivers, or maybe something new coming up in the emulation support world like NTSync, though I think that last example was mainlined by now.
