Ah, yes, because Trump has been historically climate friendly, and didn't try to sell his presidency to oil companies even as little as a few weeks ago.

Great choice. Brilliant even.

Edit: For those down voting without a comment, please feel free to explain why you think not voting (which is going to boost Trump) or voting 3rd party (which again, is going to boost Trump) is helpful.

As opposed to not ignoring the differences between candidates, accepting that Biden is the lesser evil, pushing for progressives at the city/state level, and having a future path forward as opposed to what Trump has explicitly stated his plans are where there won't be a progressive option in the future.

I'd love to hear a viable alternative, really.

If I remember right on that one, users had even paid to have their data removed, too. But it was stored unencrypted. And that settlement included unidentified users which the money was going to be held onto for them to put ads in magazines or something. Wild.

The huge, nearly billion dollar Facebook settlement was something like $50/person. Google's privacy class action suit was like $10 per person.

And boy oh boy can we be sure they learned their lesson! Facebook and Google haven't done anything shady with private information since, right?

So that in 15 or so years, a class action lawsuit completes where Google now provides you with a whole $10 coupon to the play store and a check for $0.65.

Let's see...

My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about... 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.

I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I'd say about $40-50/mo is what I'm spending on powering the servers in my office.

Definitely puts off some heat, but that's partially because it's all in one rack, and I've got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It's about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it's a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).

Neural networks, OCR, called one of the "godfathers of deep learning", etc, etc.

He's a brilliant, well known scientist.

Nah, just have it be like a palmtop!

Going to have to build one of them one of these days....

Thankfully a retired LTC got involved (back when we were first going through all the fun) who did an amazing job helping us navigate the mess that is the VA. Still kept in touch too.

But will definitely message if I run into any roadblocks, appreciate it!

He died 4 years back, so no. ALS is usually about 2 years from diagnosis, and he made it a bit past that, but not much.

Once the ridiculous amounts of nonsense paperwork was run through (during which time my dad lost the use of his arm, speech was one of the first things to go), he got plenty of support. But getting there is the nightmare in my opinion. They started out trying to give him like 15% disability - which is insane, ALS is terminal and is always a 100%.

But thanks for the link! It looks like there's some stuff there that applies to my family in terms of benefits, so going to do some digging.

A pretty typical VA issue.

My dad was drafted, went to Vietnam, and many years later developed ALS - somewhat recently added to the "Always covered for vets" list, as being a veteran in any war doubles the risk of ALS.

The battle to prove it was ALS though was insane, had to be done outside of the VA with specialists (it is still rare, of course, so not many out there can actually give a diagnosis), and took about a year from blatant symptoms to diagnosis, and then another few months of VA paperwork to get coverage and other things he was owed.

Not a new problem unfortunately, and certainly not unique to this situation. Just another kind of symptom of another kind of problem.

Fair enough. Most of my work means building out LXC's and VMs for testing, and with 2 kids I don't have much time/energy left for gaming, so my setup works for me.

But it's definitely not for everyone, I already have the pieces in place to make it work nicely. I actually had a windows workstation set up for work, but couldn't deal with the windows nonsense anymore, which is why I went this route.

It can work on a single machine with an iGPU, but kb/m gets a bit complex. And then there's streaming over no machine or something, but that has its own drawbacks unfortunately.

Whatever works for you, works for you and that's what matters

If it works for you, I've found running some things as a VM works better than dealing with windows.

Admittedly I have a lot of hardware due to what I do, but I've got (multiple, but just one is relevant in this case) proxmox server set up with an extremely tightened up windows 10 build. I've removed pretty much everything humanly possible on the windows side, just installing enough for the applications I need.

I then have a GPU that's passed through to it directly (that machine is headless otherwise). So I'm getting all the GPU acceleration, but without using anything else on Windows, it stays slim and trim so it runs pretty well, and it's pretty light on ram use.

With the second DP input of my monitor, I come off a video switcher but you can skip that and go right off the GPU. Now you've got a lightweight little VM directly connected to your display. Pass through your USB device of choice (I'm assuming a controller here, but you can use a second keyboard/mouse or USB host switch if you want).

Personally I find this approach easier since I don't have to deal with all the memory gobbling nonsense on the windows side, I get to do my daily work in Linux, and specialty stuff that I just can't run in wine stays readily available.
