  • One thing you probably need to figure out first: how are the dgpu and igpu connected to each other, and then which ports are connected to which gpu.

    Everyone does funky shit with this, and you’ll sometimes have dgpus that require the igpu to do anything, or cases where the internal panel is only hooked up to the igpu (or only the dgpu), and the hdmi and display port and so on can be any damn thing.

    So uh, before you get too deep in planning what gets which gpu, you probably need to see if the outputs you need support what you want to do.











  • The problem was it was too quick: if you died of COVID, you were dead. You could be memory-holed and everyone would simply forget you and move on.

    If you had Polio, though, you were paralyzed and stuck in a metal tube and kept alive.

    Can’t forget your not-dead kid who lives in a tube, and thus it was treated as more of a thing that should be fought because there was a clear and visible reminder of what this disease was doing to everyone’s kids.

    If COVID left a couple million people living in tubes, then we absolutely would have treated it differently, but it didn’t.

    (Alternately, if COVID had killed 10 or 20 million people, we would have also treated it seriously: it just wasn’t sufficiently deadly OR left a wake of broken, but living, people.)








  • Those both have a Ring 0 component, which is essentially presented as required for the crap to even work.

    The argument being that you have to have that level of access for the anti-cheat software to be able to actually be able to do it’s thing, since if you just ran it with a normal user’s permission, it’d be subject to numerous ways you could have a cheat tool simply bypass it.

    They’re probably not wrong about that, but doesn’t mean that we should have to essentially install a rootkit on our hardware to play online games.
