Docker containers share host os kernel - can’t be used to run a different os.

Your options:

• Run windows in a VM. You assign some of your PC resources (ram, CPU cores, storage) to vm. That windows VM is going to be within 1-2% of a PC with the specs matching resources assigned to VM. You won’t get GPU acceleration unless you pass the entire GPU to VM, but it doesn’t matter for Lightroom. Will run perfectly.
• Run Lightroom with Wine. It runs as just another Linux program via a translation layer. It will get access to all resources your PC has and it won’t waste resources running entire 2nd os in a VM, but there is a performance impact of the translation layer. Performance impact varies depending on specific piece of software and sometimes it even runs faster.

Edit: it turns out it does like GPU acceleration, so performance impact without GPU passthrough will be noticeable at least when opening images. Running it on wine is possible, but a pain - it requires manual workarounds and it doesn’t run perfectly even with them.

To be fair it doesn’t run that great on Windows either.

Most slicers work natively on Linux. I’ve used orca slicer and lychee in just past 24h.

As for modeling software freecad, blender obviously; onshape is browser based, so it should work; fusion360 is hard to get running, but from what I’ve heard it’s doable;

SOLIDWORKS can run in wine, but just barely - I’ve found it easier and more pleasant to run it in a windows vm

Nothing makes them talk about gun control faster than minorities arming.

While doing that for 80 companies is not feasible I doubt all 80 members are opposed. Valve and AMD could talk to video card, monitor, laptop and handheld makers to pad the membership enough.

As for the democracy question a quick skim of their bylaws suggests it’s close enough.

AMD has had the code ready to include in their open source driver for a while and has been trying to get HDMI Forum to let them release it for a long time https://www.phoronix.com/news/HDMI-2.1-OSS-Rejected

Fewer than 80 members. 15k/year membership fee and very lax joining requirements. $1.2M gets you majority allowing you do to whatever even with 100% of current members opposing :P

HDMI Forum has fewer than 80 members and membership fee is 15,000 USD/year. Valve could spin up 80 companies, have them join the forum for a low low price of 1.2M USD and outvote remaining members to open source the entire spec.

They charge a fee for access to the spec and maintain who can claim their products are HDMI compliant and require compliance testing on those products.

An open source implementation would make that spec public and strip a lot of control they hold.

I meant in the context of the post where primary focus seemed to be using up the leftover bits of filament

Bambu allows you to automatically switch to a different spool from ams when you run out and continue printing, so this becomes unnecessary.

Extreme left as defined in US falls somewhere around center-center right in EU on most issues.

Slightly different part, same process. The bigger bottleneck is packaging - HBM is 3d stacked.

Same memory production capacity can be allocated to ddr5 or to hbm and openai signed contracts with sk hynix and samsung, the two largest ram manufacturers in the world, and bought a significant percentage of next year’s production.

DDR5 prices started spiking as that deals impact propagated through the supply chain. I bought a 2x32 6800 Cl30 kit for 195 euro 12 days ago. It was 330 euro 4 days later.

CATL wholesale pricing per kWh is already almost 50% below lifepo with a goal of sub $20/kWh pricing in coming years.

More durable, cheaper, can be operated at a wider temperature range and much safer, but at a cost of lower energy density.

They look like a big step forward for uses where density matters little, like grid energy storage or small scale home backups.

Diving head first

100% true for the kind of cars you buy to drive.

Generally true, but sometimes you get lucky: I bought a fully loaded Camry in mid 2021, heavily discounted, because it was one of the last previous year model cars they had in the country and at 0% apr for the duration of the 3 year loan. This was right before shortages started and inflation skyrocketed. As a result its value on the used market stayed over what I paid for 3 years and even now it’s lost only about 10-15% of the purchase price.

Export tariffs are a thing and Canada could implement them on eggs to make sure US shortages and price hikes don’t spread to Canada. Would that push prices to 1.50 per egg? No, but it would stop Canadian egg exports from helping US pricing at the expense of Canadian pricing.
